I use the nonpublic portion of my web host. I already get 60 GB with that
account, so why not use the unallocated space for storage of photos and
such? Webhostingbuzz plans are about $48 a year.

I have 2 external fire wire HDs for my desktop at home.

 

When I shutdown my desktop or laptop, I run a script at backups up data  to
the external HD.

 

Every week, I rotate the external HD.  The one that is not attached to my

Subject: Batteries for UPS

OK, we have a number of APC Back-UP 500 ES and 550 ES UPS units.  Their
battery, if one peels away the otherwise useless lable, says 12v 7.2 Ah. 
It's a wee bit under 6" long, 3.75: high, and 2.5" wide.  Both spade
terminals are at one end...

Although the 550 ES is currently being sold, APC's web site, depending on
its mood, says either no replacement battery is available or to use RBC-110.
(Of coarse, they then claim RBC-110 does not exist!)

CDW, who just sold us some more 550 ES units this week, claims there is no
replacement battery.

One more thing - a couple of years ago we bought some non-APC batteries,
17v, 8 Ah, and many in that shippment were dead on arrival.

Before I become [more] profane, where does one get a battery to replace in
those things

THanks!

RE: home computer backup

[Webb, Brian (Corp)]

I've been playing with HP Upline which is a lot like Mozy except the
client has an option to do a local backup as well.  The local backup can
be a different set of files so I have a small subset of files going to
the free Upline storage and I have the local backup going to my NAS.  
 
Upline had some problems a few days after it went live, but has been
working fine since it came back up.

  You would need a virtual machine emulator.  Such software uses
software to emulate an entire computer, including the processor and
peripheral hardware.  (In contrast to VM systems like VMware, which
depend on native hardware.)

  I  use tar, which is a 'nix utility.  (I run Linux at home, and use
that to backup both 'nix and 'doze.)  ZIP or whatever would work
similar.  I do a full backup every time -- I just start it before I go
to bed, and it's done in the morning.  I write to DVD+RW disc.  I've
got a couple different discs which I use in rotation.  I carry them in
to work with me and keep them locked in my desk drawer at work.

I bought this one for $100 on Boxing Day...works great as a "sync" drive, no
additional software required.

RE: (0T) Ports needed for MetaFrame Presentation Server Web Client

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

if you are using Web Interface and Presentation server you can utilize port
443,
however, you must have Web Interface setup to use port 443 and have a
certificate.
You would have to have a cert with the FQDN setup to resolve to the
external IP
address on the firewall. If you are NAT'ing a public to private address on
your 
firewall without SSL then you will need 1494 or 2598 depending if you are
using session reliability.

A user would like to be able to use some Citrix client to help manage
his Church.  I would like to allow him to do so, but I can't seem to get
it to connect on our network.

It connects fine on our Sprint EVDO Data cards, so it must be our
firewall.  I have talked with the software provider for the church, and
they keep telling me that all I need is port 443 open.  Well, we
obviously have that open...  I can't find any docs outlying the
requirements to run this software.  

 

Do you guys that might actually know something about Citrix be able to
clue us in?

  Yah.  Faulty electrolytic capacitors are an industry-wide problem,
not just Dell.  "Capacitor plague" is the usual name I hear for it.
Basically, the capacitors use an inferior electrolyte formulation
which degrades over time.  Gas builds up inside the capacitor, causing
it to deform ("bulge") and eventually to rupture ("leak").  Either can
kill the capacitor, cause it to smoke, or just degrade it's
performance (leading to erratic crashes).

  I do seem to hear about cap plague for Dell machines more than
others, but that could just be because more people have Dell machines.
 Or maybe Dell is overly concerned with cost and not enough with
quality.

  It's not a new problem, either.  I had a motherboard I bought circa
1999 die of cap plague a few years ago.

  I've heard that, too, but it seems like the problem is going on for
far longer than just one incident could account for.

RE: home computer backup

[Andy Ognenoff]

I've been playing with Mozy too and it seems REALLY slow compared to IDrive,
which I'm also testing.  Not the upload speed but the actual application
interface and generating the list of files needing to be backed up.

My main form of home backup is Retrospect Pro to removable drives (trays)
that I then store in my fire retardant safe at home and I take one of them
to work 20 miles away and keep it in a fire box under my desk.

(I know my backup scheme seems like overkill but I have hundreds of gigs of
photos I shot that I can’t stand to lose.)

If it's an i386 Solaris box they should run fine on an Solaris 10 machine.
At one point in time you could run Solaris binaries under Linux, but that
was before that feature was removed - no one used it.

If it's an old SPARCstation or UltraSPARC you'll need to find the
appropriate hardware - an Ultra 5 or SunBlade is cheap on eBay.

RE: Pause user access to a file server

Correct, because to connect to a server the server service needs to be
started, to connect to another server I believe it only needs the
workstation service to be started.

RE: Networker and Quantum Scalar Problem

[Ziots, Edward]

If I recall, you also have to license the number of slots in Networker.
Just having an autoloader licensed isn't enough.  It's been a long time
though since we did the licensing, so YMMV.  
 
For example, we have a 512 slot library.  Networker is only licences for
256.  guess how many it "sees"?  256.
 
Our library is an ADIC - now owned by Quantum.

I have an Autoloader/16 and an Autoloader/9 license installed on my

Subject: Recent problems with hardware

In light of some of the recent hardware-related oddities posted here,
I thought I'd share two of my own more annoying recent discoveries in
the past 6 months:

1. Dell Optiplex GX520's have a motherboard problem. The system will
shut itself off, leaving the user only with an amber flashing power
button light.  The motherboard needs to be replaced to correct this
issue. My show has many of these PC's, and it has happened to 4 so
far. This starts are a very infrequent annoyance that becomes more
frequent over time - resulting in not being able to keep the system on
for more than 60 seconds between occurrences.  It appears to me to be
a heat sensor problem, but I don't have confirmation on that.

2.  I don't have a manufacturer commonality for this one, but it
appears to be specific to Serial-ATA. The problem/cause is still
unknown to me, but the result is partition corruption that makes the
drive unreadable without special utilities that can read raw data.
Twice this happened to the same HDD.  The other other two instances
were different HDD's from different computers. In each case the
partition info could be reconstructed.  It has happened to my own
system at home as well as user systems at work.  The only commonality
was that there were all Windows XP systems.

These are just some things to have recall for if you run into similar
oddities.  That is all.

Re: Recent problems with hardware

[Sean Martin]

We had a large problem with our Dell Optiplex SX270s blowing capacitors on
the motherboard preventing the systems from powering on. I don't have an
exact number but I'm sure we replaced 50+ due to the issue. I believe Dell
indicated they had a large batch of faulty mother boards, which is
believable as we still have quite a few SX270s running without issue. This
was of course a couple of years ago as we're now deploying the Optiplex 745s
and newer...

Re: Recent problems with hardware

[RichardMcClary]

#1 is a known problem.  Do a Google search for leaky or bulging capacitors 
on Dell Optiplex machines...

We've had that happen on 3 of ours.  Dell replaced two of them (they were 
still under warranty, but they've been known to replace them even on 
out-of-warranty systems).

The third was one purchased and "modified" by NEC.  Our NEC vendor 
scrounged up a similar system which may or may not fail at any time (it's 
our voice mail system).  Less than 2 months, and we're rid of NEC!!!

Intersting story of industrial espionage...  An electronics company broke 
into the databases of a rival to steal their capacitor electrolyte 
formula.  They stole one their competitor was not using as they knew it 
would result in failing capacitors.  The bad guys thought they had the 
good formula and sold millions of them to MB manufacturers, including MBs 
used by Dell.

Recent problems with hardware

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

In light of some of the recent hardware-related oddities posted here,
I thought I'd share two of my own more annoying recent discoveries in
the past 6 months:

1. Dell Optiplex GX520's have a motherboard problem. The system will
shut itself off, leaving the user only with an amber flashing power
button light.  The motherboard needs to be replaced to correct this
issue. My show has many of these PC's, and it has happened to 4 so
far. This starts are a very infrequent annoyance that becomes more
frequent over time - resulting in not being able to keep the system on
for more than 60 seconds between occurrences.  It appears to me to be
a heat sensor problem, but I don't have confirmation on that.

2.  I don't have a manufacturer commonality for this one, but it
appears to be specific to Serial-ATA. The problem/cause is still
unknown to me, but the result is partition corruption that makes the
drive unreadable without special utilities that can read raw data.
Twice this happened to the same HDD.  The other other two instances
were different HDD's from different computers. In each case the
partition info could be reconstructed.  It has happened to my own
system at home as well as user systems at work.  The only commonality
was that there were all Windows XP systems.

These are just some things to have recall for if you run into similar
oddities.  That is all.

Word crashes - fixed?

[RichardMcClary]

Greetings!

After trying numerous hints regarding a specific combination of 
user+computer causing Word 2003 to crash...

This user could use Word on any other computer; other folks could use Word 
on her computer; Word would crash whenever she tried to start it on her 
own...

As she has a roaming profile, I finally simply deleted the cached profile 
on her machine.  She is having to re-configure a few things (like Lotus 
Notes and Sametime), but at least Word is finally launching!

Thank you all for your hints and suggestions!

Re: Deny Login if not secure

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

Just a note in terms of custom scripting etc: Check for key file(s)
existance, service existance, service set to automatic, and service is
running.

If not *all* conditions are true, you have a security  problem that is
indicative of malware.

(now OT) RE: Support fee

[David Lum]

I thought you were addressing me, but wasn't sure J.  The gig in
question is a small local government client and I actually pride myself
in being able to come in cheaper than they budget for (yes they actually
tell me what their IT budget is and include me in budgeting talks) year
to year. Making $20K/year on about 6 hours/week (remote work is 25%
cheaper for them) is a pretty sweet deal and is more than a minimum wage
job at 40hrs/week ($16.2K/yr currently in Oregon). Between my level of
service and my probably-lower-than-what-they-would-pay prices pretty
much guarantees nobody will come along and take that client from me...

 

A nice benefit is due to the excellent working relationship with them on
any single given month I could add ~$1,000 of incomethere's always
SOMETHING that can be done. It also helps that all that work is my
"secondary" income as NWEA here is my 40hr/week job, so I don't need to
optimize my personal business' income.

 

Is there a mailing list that discusses the small business side of IT?
I'm sure this isn't the correct forum...

Sorry Dave Lum, 
   I was speaking in response to your 420 p/sys-p/year. But I
retract my comment about bringing down the market seeing that its just
2-3 calls per day average. But if you take your 420 p/sys-p/year for
total number of machines (47) you get just under 20k (19.74). In my
example if 2-3 calls a day = 1 hour per day w/252 business days a year
you can gross a couple extra thousand. 22.6k. (and that is excluding any
extra off hour or holiday numbers but i am not sure if you have any of
that factored into your math either) but still a nice gig you have.

David,
 Your bringing the market down with the crazy accounting you got
going on.$90hr minimum with a 2 hour minimum for on-site work. Toss
in a one way travel fee (unless the customer establishes a retainer
account with you usually min of 2k) Plus a 30 min per phone call fee.
(first 2 free if you like the client)

Just my 2 cents~!

Being an old-school telco aficionado, I find this rather surprising.

My circa 1989 Radio Shack tone-dialer that I hacked into a "redbox"

RE: Batteries for UPS

[RichardMcClary]

Thanks, but umpteen others told me to try the same specific vendor.  They 
don't include the nice recycling mailer like APC, but hey, if I know 
exactly what the battery is and APC doesn't want to play nicely, then I'll 
buy the battery elsewhere.

Like I'd mentioned, I bought a dozen from one vendor, but at least 3/12 
turned out to not take a charge when needed.

Thanks again...
