Good info for merging two companies AD and exchange services?

[Greg Olson]

Anyone have any good info on merging two separate companies AD and
Exchange services into one forest? it will start off with Company A and
Company B needing to have their two Exchange gals and calendars
(free\busy) in sync, and with some file server access to share info.
Eventually Company B will be pulled fully into company A's AD and
exchange structure, but that will happen over time. 
So if any of you have any advice on how to accomplish both with the
least amount of re-do, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

RE: Desktop Backup

[Vue, Za]

Personally I think it is an overkill backing up everything. What is it that the 
client want to accomplish? We are talking about 1000 machines with an average 
of 3-5GB disk space requirement min. What about the employee who loaded 5 GB of 
music files to his "My Documents" folder? Now you have illegal copy of music 
files on your network. Does the client want to back those up? Too much 
resources are required to accomplish a task that I think it is not necessary or 
practical.

Workstations=Use one single ghost image for identical machines. Same for 
laptops. If the client runs Vista then you don't even need that many images. 
Perhaps one for workstations and one for laptops.

Enable Shadow Copy on file servers and redirect "My Documents" folder to the 
network with GPO. Someone deleted a file it takes a few seconds to restore it 
from yesterday. If a machine dies, reimage.

Hey all,

 

Just evaluating patching solutions and one of them ones we are
considering investigating is Unicenter Patch Management. Just curious if
anyone out there is using this and can comment on its good and bad
points. One of the primary points in interested in is wether is supports

RE: Forcing a Dynamic disk to expand

I think there's something wrong if it's only showing 7.4MB free - it should be 
showing whatever is left.

You can just copy a file into the VM if you need to expand the actual VHD file 
on the disk (e.g. copy a service pack .exe or similar). And then delete it.

Theres little running on this box, its SBS 2003, it has ESET (spit on the

Any ideas ?

The salary game is always a funny question to me. What some people would value 
as 100k others would value at 70k so you sometimes cant compare salaries. My 
theory is if i really think i am worth 150k and it wont be a pain to move then 
i will chase that money. However if i think i know i can get more somewhere 
else but life and work circumstances mean moving is not advisable or possible 
then i will be happy with what i get.

To me the place i work is just as important as what i do and the money i get 
paid.. Incidentally today is my last day at my current job.. :)

Good Afternoon,

I need some advice on what you all think the relevant salary is for my current

Currently I am the MIS (IT) Manager for  a medical company with the following

-9 offices

-200 employees

-2 technicians underneath

-no network administrator

-normal network management (Exchange,IIS, ISA, FTPS, Fax Serveretc)

-in-house Web Application development/testing/hosting

-Open 24 hours

-Also manage the record management department (I created an in-house system to

My salary is in review and I know they will be asking me what I think a fair 
salary is due to the upcoming changes that are to occur and the additional 
projects I am to complete.



--I am heading a company move to another city and need do the wiring, design of 
the IT room, design of all the seating, moving of numbers, ordering of 
T1's/PRI's...etc



--I am switching the company over to a VOIP system rather than a normal analog

--I am also in the  process of implementing a cyber center where we will be 
hosting all of our server with a DS3 connection back to corporate. (Due to 
being in Florida we needed something more secure for hurricane season)



--I am also implementing redundant vendors for voice and data.



Of course there is more but that is the jist of it.



I should also include that I have been with the company for 3 years and 5 years 
prior experience. I have a BA in CIS and pursuing my MBA as well.

The salary game is always a funny question to me. What some people would value 
as 100k others would value at 70k so you sometimes cant compare salaries. My 
theory is if i really think i am worth 150k and it wont be a pain to move then 
i will chase that money. However if i think i know i can get more somewhere 
else but life and work circumstances mean moving is not advisable or possible 
then i will be happy with what i get.

To me the place i work is just as important as what i do and the money i get 
paid.. Incidentally today is my last day at my current job.. :)

Re: BSD?

[Kurt Buff]

I'm fairly proficient in FreeBSD, and like it a lot. The AMD64 version
is indeed good for advanced Intel multi-core chips, though I haven't
implemented it yet - haven't been allowed a machine that good yet.

OpenBSD is my next target platform, though - I figure between the two
I'll have most situations covered, as FreeBSD is all about
productivity, and OpenBSD is all about security.

RE: BSD?

i386 = 32-bit, AMD64=64-bit. Last time I installed 64-bit FreeBSD, I had some 
issues with app compatibility and ended up reinstalling with the i386 version. 
That was a few years ago though, it may be better now.

RE: Eliminating Anonymous connections to DCs

[Jim Dandy]

So, it sounds like you are saying that the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible
Access" group they refer to is the one I see in my ADUC domain\Builtin
folder.  That group only has "Authenticated Users" and "Exchange Domain
Servers" as members.  They recommend that the Everyone and Anonymous
groups be removed.  Since they aren't there, it sounds like I'm OK with
respect to what the article is addressing.  So, the "net user" test I
referenced earlier - what's that testing?  Is that testing something
different that what is being referenced in this article?

Thanks for sticking with me through this.

Re: Exchange 2003 dismounts due to log file in use

[Steven Peck]

Process explorer?  file level auditing?

We had an issue a few years ago, and more recently, where McAffee file
level scanning did not properly honor wild card exclusions per their
docs and it grabbed the edb a few times.  We found this out by opening
up and just watching the real time scanning in McAffee, then disabling
it on the server after watching it grab the file twice.

Other things to check maybe, disk io latency.  If you are having
momentary time outs/lags that exceed the limits that could kill the
Exchange service as well, something else we had issue with as well.

Learning experiences are awesome sometimes, other times, not so much.

Exchange 2003 dismounts due to log file in use

[Oliver Marshall]

Chaps,

 

Is there a way that I can find out what file has tried to access E00.log
and caused my db to dismount ? It's happened twice in two weeks now.
After the first time we even turned off the file AV scanner (though the
edb and mdb locations where excluded from the scan) but still it
happened. 

 

Theres little running on this box, its SBS 2003, it has ESET (spit on
the floor anyone?) and thats about it. 

 

Any ideas ?

 

Olly

Is it possible to force a dynamic disk in MS Virtual Server to expand? I
have a virtual server that requires some software installed and the "drive"
is only showing 7.4 MB free. Currently the drive is at 2.92GB and I have the
limit set at 500GB. How can I force the drive to expand to enable the
software to be installed? I tried google but all I get is ways to increase
the total size and I don't need to do that, just force the dynamic
expansion.

Then build a XP box, and add a drive, and point it to the VMDK if the

Regardless, the contents of your "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group
is now correct.

Insofar as anonymous access...Start the Administrative Tools -> Domain
Security Policy.

Drill down Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.

There are a number of relevant options under Network access, perhaps the
most important 3:

Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
and shares

Is it possible to force a dynamic disk in MS Virtual Server to expand? I have a 
virtual server that requires some software installed and the "drive" is only 
showing 7.4 MB free. Currently the drive is at 2.92GB and I have the limit set

installed? I tried google but all I get is ways to increase the total size and 
I don't need to do that, just force the dynamic expansion.

RE: Network monitoring with SNMP

Heh, well thats kind of like saying do you need smtp on a server? If you need 
it, its rather helpfull:)
My guess if you don't know about it, you arent in need of leveraging it. It 
allows you to do exactly what I asked if you were doing, poll snmp via wmi. I 
would assume you are not doing this.

I think you're in for a treat - mrtg, cacti, nagios and a host of other

However, to be entirely clear, if you've got someone sniffing the wire,
and you're using v1, even ridiculously long community strings won't help
- it's all plain text. OTOH, if you never use private (i.e.
read/write) strings, it might not be that big of a deal, though you can

If you're limited to v1, and completely paranoid (and what proper

haven't tried that, but it seems doable.

Shook the XP box you got the CPU account a Virtual Image. Go into
Virtual Control center and power it off. 

 

Then build a XP box, and add a drive, and point it to the VMDK if the
virtual XP box that got wacked. It should boot with that drive as a
slave, and then you can pull off the .SAM file load it into OPHCrack and
do a brute force.

Can you attach the Image to another VM as a Disk drive, and Delete the
SAM from the XP workstation, and see if it allows you to login when the
new SAM is created?

 

(Either that or you might be able to create another VM with a blank
password copy its .SAM file over the other one. Either that or get the
.SAM file and run that bugger through OPHCRACK with a brute-force to get
the password.

local admin password reset utility.  But, utility can't find the SAM b\c
it can't read the vmware virtual scsi drive.  OK, mount the floppy image
with the VMWare XP Pro driver for the scsi disk.  No go; utilty is
looking for a specific directory (/floppy/scsi). Tried creating /scsi

Been piddling with this for a while and I can't get the driver loaded.

Re: Salary Advice

[Kevin Lundy]

I'm in the Tampa area and if I had an opening, I'd hire someone with the
skills you describe for about 80k.  You said medical industry but I didn't
see any mention of regulatory compliance.  If you are responsible for that,
maybe another 10k.

I would join SAGE and get their latest salary survey - www.sage.org.

RE: Time out issue

[Tom Strader]

Packet trace shows the CLIENT is resetting the connection to the SERVER.

My junior tech says he DID find a time-out setting within the
application finally. He's set it for "24" but it does not state if
that's seconds, minutes or hours.

The application vendor had told him that there was no need to set these
parameters because the Universe database takes over after the connection
is established. Apparently they are wrong because after making that
change, the telnet session is staying up.

Tom

Hi Ben,

The ping we initiated was to see if the VPN itself was dropping.
You are correct, this remote user has moments they have no activity on
the telnet session. At five minutes, the connection terminates.

I've gone through all TCP settings on both VPN devices. Everything is
set beyond 5 minutes at 30 or 600 minutes.

The telnet software itself doe NOT have a "keep alive" setting. Even if
the user is in the middle of an order, typing, the connection gets
dropped so it's not related to activity within the telnet session.

We have clients on our side of the firewall that are NOT having this
problem. This one remote user is the only connection that is
experiencing this.

I'm on the phone with Sonicwall techs now. They state everything is set
correctly on my side. We're doing a packet trace now.

Thanks,
Tom

  ICMP is stateless; each Echo Request is independent from all the
others.  So if you're running "ping -t", the NAT doesn't see that as a
"connection", it sees it as a bunch of individual Echo Request
messages, over and over again.  So that will be a different scenario
vs Telnet.  Telnet uses TCP, which is statefull -- there's a
connection setup, which all following datagrams will be associated
with.

  Are these Telnet sessions sitting idle (no keystrokes or screen
updates)?  I'm guessing there has been no activity, so no datagrams
are being sent as part of that TCP connection.  The NAT eventually
decides the connection has died without being closed properly, and
drops the state it uses to keep track of that TCP connection.

  If that's the problem, look for a feature in your Telnet software
for something called "keep alive".  That will cause the system to send
an occasional datagram, even though there's been no real activity.
That should keep the NAT happy.

  If the NAT is just putting a hard limit of 4 minutes on even active
connections, then the only solution is to adjust that limit.

  Most good NAT implementations let you adjust the limits
independently.  It's generally fine to have a very long (days, weeks,
even months) limit for active sessions.  As long as there's data
flowing, we don't care how long that connection is being used for.
But be cautious about setting the "idle timeout" too long.  The NAT
may accumulate a lot of state about dead connections, leading to
resource exhaustion in the NAT.  How long "too long" is depends on the
capabilities of your NAT, the total load, and how often connections
die without a proper TCP close.

RE: Outlook 'anywhere' (aka nowhere) and Exchange 2007

[Edwards, David]

Oliver, 

When you try to connect, if you hold down the Ctrl key and right click
the Outlook icon on the system tray, select Connection Status. There you
will see what is connecting and what is not. You will need to make sure
that you can connect to a GC server/DC and that the ports for both are
open in your firewall. There is a KB article on how to setup RPC over
HTTP but I cannot recall the number.

Subject: Outlook 'anywhere' (aka nowhere) and Exchange 2007

Hi chaps,

I'm having a 'mare getting Outlook Anywhere working on an Exchange 2007
sp1 box running on 64bit 2003 and Outlook 2007 clients. 

I've installed RPC over HTTP on the server, I've enabled Outlook
Anywhere in Exchange 2007, I've set up a self signed cert for the
external name, and opened up port 443.

When I set the the outlook clients up it just reports 'disconnected'. On
the outlook end I've set it up the same way I would when using SBS or
Exchange 2003. Everything *looks* ok on the server end. There's nothing
apparent in either set of event logs.

I guess I have two questions. Firstly, are there any logs somewhere I
can check to see whats failing? Also, does 'outlook anywhere' *require*
a cert to be used from a valid cert authority or should I be able to
just install the self cert on each of the client machines for it to work
?

Olly

Re: User gets married...

Change the display name etc, and add a new smtp alias to her account that
reflects the new name and make it the primary.  This will effectively change
everything to reflect her new name without having to change her user id
(assuming the user id is some form of her name).

It's really fun when they start getting divorced and remarried multiple

I agree. 
We also have Paetec and XO as redundant voice vendors. I have one as
incoming and another as outbound calling. If one vendor goes down I go
into our PBX and take out the trunk that is down so it will only utilize
the trunk that is working. We also have it setup so that if the trunk
does go down with both (they are both Verizon based so sometimes they
both go down)then we forward the lines automatically (we do not do
anything) to our emergency toll free numbers off site at our
cybercenter. In your case you could send these lines to your main office
to answer the calls. 
XO and Paetec do nto charge much to have this service. This many be a
more cost effecive solution rather then paying for two vendors.

  ICMP is stateless; each Echo Request is independent from all the
others.  So if you're running "ping -t", the NAT doesn't see that as a
"connection", it sees it as a bunch of individual Echo Request
messages, over and over again.  So that will be a different scenario
vs Telnet.  Telnet uses TCP, which is statefull -- there's a
connection setup, which all following datagrams will be associated
with.

  Are these Telnet sessions sitting idle (no keystrokes or screen
updates)?  I'm guessing there has been no activity, so no datagrams
are being sent as part of that TCP connection.  The NAT eventually
decides the connection has died without being closed properly, and
drops the state it uses to keep track of that TCP connection.

  If that's the problem, look for a feature in your Telnet software
for something called "keep alive".  That will cause the system to send
an occasional datagram, even though there's been no real activity.
That should keep the NAT happy.

  If the NAT is just putting a hard limit of 4 minutes on even active
connections, then the only solution is to adjust that limit.

  Most good NAT implementations let you adjust the limits
independently.  It's generally fine to have a very long (days, weeks,
even months) limit for active sessions.  As long as there's data
flowing, we don't care how long that connection is being used for.
But be cautious about setting the "idle timeout" too long.  The NAT
may accumulate a lot of state about dead connections, leading to
resource exhaustion in the NAT.  How long "too long" is depends on the
capabilities of your NAT, the total load, and how often connections
die without a proper TCP close.

Christos,

I believe you are very passion about your job and took up all the 
responsibilities, I don't think management will turn a blind eye.
I would prepare a good progress report of what you have done for the past years 
and identify your future goal for the company, from an IT point of view. 
Identify how  many calls you get a month, the complexity of the calls, and the 
complexity will continues as the company continues to grow. Some employers have 
a technician to computer ratio. If you feel overwhelm ask them to hire a field 
technician but still ask for a raise.

Compare your current salary with those found on the Internet and this forum, 
search the salary survey from Computerjobs.com. XXX years of experience  and 
live in XXX city with BS degree with XXX certifications should make $70K. If 
you fall short then tell them.

Hi All,

 

I have a quick PRI question. At one of our remote sites we have (2)
Verizon PRIs for our Cisco Call Manager VOIP phone system.  It was a new
service build for Verizon (no oold circuits, fiber in the building etc.)
and they have had some issues where both PRIs have gone down for 2, 10,
24, and even 48 hours a couple times so far due to equipment failure.
Is there any way to have a backup from another vendor to take over if
these PRIs go down again?  Or is there a way to forward that site's
calls over to our main site and start receiving calls there?  We have a
50mbit mpls circuit between the 2 sites.  It has happened during
registration season and now they are worried it could happen again and
we could lose business for those days it might go down.  It has been
stable for 6 months now and Verizon says everything is finally ok but
the higher ups don't trust it and registration is coming again so they
want to put in some failover.

 

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  I don't think we can go with
another carrier for failover because all our numbers are ported  on the
Verizon PRIs.  Just looking for some ideas..  Thanks..

Pri Question...

[Chyka, Robert]

Hi All,

 

I have a quick PRI question. At one of our remote sites we have (2)
Verizon PRIs for our Cisco Call Manager VOIP phone system.  It was a new
service build for Verizon (no oold circuits, fiber in the building etc.)
and they have had some issues where both PRIs have gone down for 2, 10,
24, and even 48 hours a couple times so far due to equipment failure.
Is there any way to have a backup from another vendor to take over if
these PRIs go down again?  Or is there a way to forward that site's
calls over to our main site and start receiving calls there?  We have a
50mbit mpls circuit between the 2 sites.  It has happened during
registration season and now they are worried it could happen again and
we could lose business for those days it might go down.  It has been
stable for 6 months now and Verizon says everything is finally ok but
the higher ups don't trust it and registration is coming again so they
want to put in some failover.

 

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  I don't think we can go with
another carrier for failover because all our numbers are ported  on the
Verizon PRIs.  Just looking for some ideas..  Thanks..

RE: Time out issue

[Tom Strader]

Yes, VPN stays up.

 

We even started a ping to an IP on the same subnet. Ping never blinked
but at 4 minutes the Telnet session dies.

 

I just spoke to TGA (Shook you know who I'm referencing) Jim stated:

 

/QUOTE

There is a timeout value for NAT translations and packet streams..

Here are the defaults from a configuration.

 

timeout xlate 3:00:00

timeout sunrpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00 h225 1:00:00 mgcp 0:05:00 mgcp-pat

He will look into that in an hour or so.

Do you have keep alives setup on the tunnel to the left coast? In other
words, when the app dies, is the VPN still up?

Guys and Ladies,

 

I've got a problem that we cannot seem to resolve and need the knowledge
of you fine folks.

 

We provide application access to a remote site through a dedicated VPN.

The application itself on OUR side is provided to US through another
dedicated VPN to the California vendor hosting the application.

 

At exactly 4 minutes (240 seconds), the telnet session this application
uses terminates.

 

We've checked all routing devices and cannot find any parameters set to
240 seconds.

Power Management is turned off at all devices.

We've called the application provider; they state there are no settings
on their side either.

This one remote site is the only one experiencing this anomaly.

 

Any suggestion as to what might be causing this is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I can see it right now, the IIS administrators blaming the programmers
and the programmer blaming the IIS administrators...

 

Then, they will come to the conclusion that it was the network
administrator's fault because he or she allowed it to come through the
router...

Good Afternoon, 

I need some advice on what you all think the relevant salary is for my
current position. 

 

Currently I am the MIS (IT) Manager for  a medical company with the
following responsibilities. 

 

-9 offices

-200 employees

-2 technicians underneath

-no network administrator

-normal network management (Exchange,IIS, ISA, FTPS, Fax Serveretc)

-in-house Web Application development/testing/hosting

-Open 24 hours

-Also manage the record management department (I created an in-house
system to make all items electronicmember files, applications..etc)

 

My salary is in review and I know they will be asking me what I think a
fair salary is due to the upcoming changes that are to occur and the
additional projects I am to complete.

 

--I am heading a company move to another city and need do the wiring,
design of the IT room, design of all the seating, moving of numbers,
ordering of T1's/PRI's...etc

 

--I am switching the company over to a VOIP system rather than a normal
analog system. 

 

--I am also in the  process of implementing a cyber center where we will
be hosting all of our server with a DS3 connection back to corporate.
(Due to being in Florida we needed something more secure for hurricane
season) 

 

--I am also implementing redundant vendors for voice and data. 

 

Of course there is more but that is the jist of it. 

 

I should also include that I have been with the company for 3 years and
5 years prior experience. I have a BA in CIS and pursuing my MBA as
well.

Your company is a little bigger then mine, with more locations but it
sounds like you have a job with around the same responsibilities as
mine. It really depends on what you think you can get but somewhere is
the high 60's sounds about right, maybe even the low 70s. I know that's
what I would want to move to a company with more employees. I am in
Miami so the salaries shouldn't be much different in Tampa I don't
think. Some on this list will say more I'm sure. ;-)
