Re: Browsing DFS space
You can use the Office 2007 ADM files in your GPO and add make the share the default file location, it can also be added to the favourite links list on the side of the file open dialogue box.

Does anyone know if the devices require IBM disks? Or if there's a good reason to use them over standard disks?

Re: VIPRE Enterprise beta software is available
Yes.. sign me up for some beta security software! weee! Sorry, but I couldn't resist. The idea of beta testing by general administrators just strikes me as extremely silly. On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 6:22 PM, Alex Eckelberry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you're interested in Sunbelt's new antivirus + antispyware product for the enterprise, Beta 1 of VIPRE Enterprise is now available. Please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put VIPRE Enterprise (SVE) in the title in order to register for the beta. At VIPRE's core is an antivirus and antispyware engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single efficient and powerful system. The new technology was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines. VIPRE Enterprise utilizes a high speed threat scanning engine that can scan large volumes of information for malware threats in a short period of time with limited performance impact on the end user's PC. VIPRE Enterprise uses multiple techniques to inspect the characteristics of all types of potentially threatening files. From simple signature-based detection to dynamic, sophisticated analysis of malware files, VIPRE quickly determines whether a file is good or bad - enabling comprehensive detection of both existing and new unidentified threats. VIPRE Enterprise is designed to replace both your antivirus and antispyware desktop applications. However, it is not recommended during the beta to do a full production rollout (for obvious reasons). Once you've registered for the beta, you will be given access to the beta forum, which has more information on the product's functionality, as well as known issues, etc. (If you like, you can also download the consumer/home office version at http://beta.sunbeltsoftware.com) Alex Alex Eckelberry CEO Sunbelt Software 33 N.

Another logon script question
Good afternoon, I just took over net admin responsibilities at a small company running an NT 4.0 domain. They were in the middle of setting up a 2003 Active Directory domain when I started, and I'm trying to finalize setup before migrating. My problem right now is I can not get logon scripts to execute. I am logging on from an XP box connected to the proper domain. The script is located on the 2003 DC in the netlogon share. I can execute the script from the client via UNC, running \\servername\netlogon\logon.vbs file:///\\servername\netlogon\logon.vbs . I am trying to enter this path in the User Profile section under the user's properties. Do UNC paths work here? Any ideas what I might be missing?

Re: OT: stupid kvm question
I would not think that they would actually work with another manufacturer. In fact, we have a couple of raritan KVMs and I had to order a different sku model dongles just to connect to SUN boxes rather than any of our other servers, so that makes me think there must be some specific processing going on rather than simply passing info along to the head unit.

RE: Executing programs from a login script

Utility to show details of installed printers?
I'm migrating a print server from Win2000 to Win2003. I'm not using the Print Migrator tool, because some of the installed drivers are old. So I'm just going to re-create the printer definitions (taking the opportunity to properly name them, according to our now-standard conventions). Anyway, what I could use is a report, listing current printer name, printer model (or driver, which should tell me the same thing), and IP address. That at least would help me in installing new printers and drivers on my Win2003 server. Anyone know of something that dumps those sorts of details about installed printers?

RE: Utility to show details of installed printers?
Win2k3 and XP have a couple of pr*.vbs files in %systemroot% that will help with this. Prnmngr.vbs will let you list installed printers and it will give you driver name and port name. There is a prnport.vbs that will give you all the details on the ports as well.

We do have that set up in our audit policy, and the logon was indeed a 528; the problem was that the guy didn't use his own account. He also had no business doing what he did. Luckily the terminal services logon event provided the ip address that connected, so we were able to track it down to the person who did it and report them. As to what happens now, anyone's guess.

Opening Ports via GPO
I'm opening ports using GPO's. In the Allow Printer and File Sharing you can specify which subnets to allow contact from. The example shows 10.3.2.0/24 to allow connections from 10.3.2.X. My question is what would be the proper notation to allow connections from 10.3.x.x. Would it be 10.3.0.0\24?

Re: Opening Ports via GPO
no, the /24 means the last 255 digits in the last octet if you want to allow everything in the last two octets, it would be 10.3.0.0/16 Play around with www.subnet-calculator.com for more info.

RE: Executing programs from a login script
a) Use DFS share for MSIs installed from GPOs b) If you have an AD domain, then use startup/login scripts configured in GPOs, not in the user account properties of AD. The scripts are stored in the GUID folder named for each GPO, not in the NetLogon share. You can store the actual executables on a DFS share. The executables will then be replicated according to your file replication policies to your nominated file servers, not to DCs (which I think gives you more flexibility) Cheers Ken -Original Message- From: Jim Dandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 12 June 2008 3:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Executing programs from a login script Thanks.

Please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put VIPRE Enterprise (SVE) in the title in order to register for the beta. At VIPRE's core is an antivirus and antispyware engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single efficient and powerful system. The new technology was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines. VIPRE Enterprise utilizes a high speed threat scanning engine that can scan large volumes of information for malware threats in a short period of time with limited performance impact on the end user's PC. VIPRE Enterprise uses multiple techniques to inspect the characteristics of all types of potentially threatening files. From simple signature-based detection to dynamic, sophisticated analysis of malware files, VIPRE quickly determines whether a file is good or bad - enabling comprehensive detection of both existing and new unidentified threats. VIPRE Enterprise is designed to replace both your antivirus and antispyware desktop applications. However, it is not recommended during the beta to do a full production rollout (for obvious reasons). Once you've registered for the beta, you will be given access to the beta forum, which has more information on the product's functionality, as well as known issues, etc. (If you like, you can also download the consumer/home office version at http://beta.sunbeltsoftware.com) Alex Alex Eckelberry CEO Sunbelt Software 33 N.
