Oggetto: NTBackup failing on large files


I am running Windows Server Enterprise 2003.
I am running SQL Enterprise 2003.
On a 32 bit install.
I run SQL backup everynight.
I have a 60GB backup file for my production database.
I run NTBackup and it backup up all the databases except the Production 
database.
It runs for about 2 hours backing it up and then fails within about 300 Mb of 
finishing stating the file is inconsistant.
Has anyone seen this?
 
 
 
 
 
Data Security is everyone's responsibility.

Subject: RE: Citrix printing question

 

I use the Citrix VPN client with the Access Gateway, then connect my PNAgent to 
my internal network.  I like that since it does not time out like the web 
interface.  

 

Then change the timeout of the Web Interface!  With PS 4.0 that is done thru 
IIS.  With PS/XA 4.5 that is done thru the Access Management Console, web 
interface site, manage session preferences, web sessions.  I change it to 
something like 8 or 10 hours so it doesn’t timeout during a work day.

Page file of Exchange 2003, 1.05 times the RAM or 1.5 times?

[Ajay Kulsh]

In most place, we read that the pagefile of a Windows server should be at
least 1.5 X RAM. However, latest version of ExBPA tool gives error in such a
case and tell us to make pagefile only 1.05 X RAM.

Should we reduce the file size on Exchange server to only 1.05 X RAM?
Thanks.

You can do better than a short duration password-protected screen saver --
just run this from a login script:

Carl,

Thanks. We had noticed what you describe, though it is not clear to me why
Microsoft would do that.

In any case, we will follow your suggestion to do autologon whenever
possible. Of course, this also means, we have to configure a very short
duration of lockout for security reasons. Correct?

When using Microft Remote Desktops MMC, you can check a box to have RDP
session via console. You can also use mstsc.exe with "/console" switch to
use console mode.

However, once I connect using these options and run Set command on the
connected server, often it shows that the session is NOT in console mode;
rather it is in a terminal session mode.

Does anyone know what causes this inconsistent behavior and how to remedy
it? Thanks.

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[Greg Mulholland]

I'd agree with most here

There may be some special cases that do not warrant virtualisation as people 
have mentioned, fortunately our network has a limited amount of them.

We have successfully virtualised multiples of Exchange 2k7, SQL, all dc's, and 
a host of other stuff. 40 or so in total.

Our hosts are 2x quad cores with 16gb ram at present. There has been no need to 
upgrade memory at this point but we keep a fair bit of head room for host 
failover.

I love the DR scenarios it allows me with consummate ease and also the 
provisioning of new servers takes bugger all time now. Unfortunately we are 
limited to our real failover without vmotion as yet but you cant win them all.

Excellent points.  I had forgotten about our RAS box and I didn't know about

Anything that requires specialized ISA/PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E hardware - fax
cards, crypto cards, etc - absolutely cannot be virtualized.

Anything that's timing sensitive - VoIP, software that needs to
communicate over serial or parallel - might or might not work. VoIP in
particular is discouraged for production but is passable for testing
purposes.

Anything else is fair game, but be aware that not all applications are
supported in a virtualized environment. E2k7 is one of them (but I'm
sure Hyper-V will be officially supported - gee, imagine that), Oracle
is another. That's not to say it won't work, it's just that if:
a) they find out it's virtualized
b) trace a problem you're having to the fact that it's virtualized
the support people will say "we can't help you".

RE: Citrix printing question

We use PNAgent here, too for some users.  Most of our Citrix users use
the Secure Access Gateway appliance and I redirect them to the internal
web page once they make it through that.  
 
I use the Citrix VPN client with the Access Gateway, then connect my
PNAgent to my internal network.  I like that since it does not time out
like the web interface.

Ok, so I set my printing policy the same as yours.  I applied the

ran a report, printed to the default printer...no problem.
 
Quit out of the application, exited out of PNAgent, changed the default
printer.  Re-logged in, ran the same report, printed to the original
printer, not the new default.
 
Any ideas why it kept the original default, instead of loading the
"new" default?

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

It seems that once MS made the statement cautioning about USN rollback, a lot 
of people just assumed virtualizing AD wasn't possible instead of understanding 
the simple warning and the trivial admin concepts behind making it work.

**Don't rollback a dc** Simple. If one breaks, work with it like it was 
physical, not virtual.
OTOH, if you understand the concept, it works *very* well in a lab:)

I actually currently don't even look after any AD sites that aren't 
virtualized...

RDP in console mode -- often it is not so

[Ajay Kulsh]

When using Microft Remote Desktops MMC, you can check a box to have RDP 
session via console. You can also use mstsc.exe with "/console" switch to 
use console mode.


However, once I connect using these options and run Set command on the 
connected server, often it shows that the session is NOT in console mode; 
rather it is in a terminal session mode.


Does anyone know what causes this inconsistent behavior and how to remedy 
it? Thanks.

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[Fogarty, Richard R Mr CTR USA USASOC]

I've heard about the FSMO role issue as well, just don't understand it.
Simply having those roles (to me) doesn't compute the necessity of a
physical box.  Wish I understood the reasoning a bit better. 

I too love the DR portion of it.  It's one of the main reasons we're pushing
hard for this to come faster.

Lots of varied opinions on this subject...

I (personally) will virtualize almost anything (SQL, Exchange, File/Print,
etc.).  The only things I shy away from virtualizing are the FMSO role DC,
Oracle (because of their cpu pricing model), or other servers that are very
cpu intense.  Aside from that, I'm willing to virtualize most any box.  I
really like the added DR it provides me (we backup data/files on each
server via Backup Exec (VM or physical) but in addition, we also backup the
entire VM flat-file every night (basically an image backup of the server). 
Restoring the entire VM flat-file can be done in 20 minutes flat, whereas
rebuilding a crashed server and restoring the data can take hours or more.

Low overhead boxes are typically the best candidate to virtualize (IMO) but
if you have a very robust virtual host, you can get away with virtualizing
database servers, etc. as well.

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[Fogarty, Richard R Mr CTR USA USASOC]

Excellent points.  I had forgotten about our RAS box and I didn't know about
the Oracle issue - I'll have to dig into that one.  E2k7 - that shouldn't be
an issue as we have an Enterprise agreement and moving it to a physical box
for support shouldn't be an issue.

Anything that requires specialized ISA/PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E hardware - fax
cards, crypto cards, etc - absolutely cannot be virtualized.

Anything that's timing sensitive - VoIP, software that needs to
communicate over serial or parallel - might or might not work. VoIP in
particular is discouraged for production but is passable for testing
purposes.

Anything else is fair game, but be aware that not all applications are
supported in a virtualized environment. E2k7 is one of them (but I'm
sure Hyper-V will be officially supported - gee, imagine that), Oracle
is another. That's not to say it won't work, it's just that if:
a) they find out it's virtualized
b) trace a problem you're having to the fact that it's virtualized
the support people will say "we can't help you".

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[Fogarty, Richard R Mr CTR USA USASOC]

Thanks.  We're looking at the same thing - however, ours were spec'd with
32GB  to 64GB of RAM depending upon the function.  However, now that I think
it would probably be in our best interest to just push them out with 64.

 

We're looking at a 10 - 1 ratio. First stage pulling 100 down to a cluster
of 10.  Not too shabby.

With big servers, lots of RAM, and ESX the ONLY thing that would be out of
the question for virtualization is REALLY heavy hitters like SAP R3
production servers.

 

We've been virtualizing everything we can. Given what I've seen out of our
ESX servers (quad quad-core DL580 64GB RAM), I wouldn't be afraid of even a
fairly heavily loaded e2k3 system.

 

SQL may be a different story, but because of RAM, not performance. 

 

ESX rocks!

Can the BES be moved and work well on a VMWare virtual server?

Ok, so I set my printing policy the same as yours.  I applied the policy to
myself.  Logged in through PNAgent, opened the application, ran a report,
printed to the default printer...no problem.

 

Quit out of the application, exited out of PNAgent, changed the default
printer.  Re-logged in, ran the same report, printed to the original
printer, not the new default.

 

Any ideas why it kept the original default, instead of loading the "new"

Re: VMWare / Virtualization

[Steven Peck]

There is no hard and fast rule because it depends on your environments
and loads.  So here's some cautionary considerations.

How is your san load?
How is the IO on the fibre paths?  Direct connect or through a portmaster?
IO intensive applications?
More then one?
WiIl that one destroy the performance of everything on the san?
Do you have several 'marginal' high IO apps that if something goes
wrong with one, it will destoy IO of the rest?

Where I work, we will not/cannot have any time IO sensitive app.  So,
no SQL, if they put Exchange mailbox servers on VMware, I'd be looking
for a new job to avoid the finger pointing (Actually I am so send me
leads in Sacramento, ca :).  Gateway servers less concerned with

Essentially, your whole system becomes a balancing act and you need to
make sure you have the tools to monitor and maintain that balance and
the effect of adding/changing things in the environment.

We run almost 50 VMware host systems in development, testing and
production environments and for the most part it does really well.

SPNEGO 40960

[Jeremy]

The Security System detected an authentication error for the server 
cifs/10.206.183.233.  The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos 
was "The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or 
authentication information.
 (0xc06d)".

I am getting this excessively on my Domain Controller.  Excessively is at least 
10 per minute, every minute.  The IP address of the clients seems to be 
different each time.  This server is the primary DNS server for my clients. 
Checking the clients event log has no corresponding error. I have enabled 
failure logging for the domain Controller and no corresponding failure audit 
exist at the time that the SPNEGO error occurs.  

Anyone have any ideas whats going on here and how to resolve it?

DNS / NSLOOKUP works properly.  
Browsing the clients and servers IPC share works properly.  

What is the next step here?  What am I missing.

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Lots of varied opinions on this subject...

I (personally) will virtualize almost anything (SQL, Exchange, File/Print,
etc.).  The only things I shy away from virtualizing are the FMSO role DC,
Oracle (because of their cpu pricing model), or other servers that are very
cpu intense.  Aside from that, I'm willing to virtualize most any box.  I
really like the added DR it provides me (we backup data/files on each
server via Backup Exec (VM or physical) but in addition, we also backup the
entire VM flat-file every night (basically an image backup of the server). 
Restoring the entire VM flat-file can be done in 20 minutes flat, whereas
rebuilding a crashed server and restoring the data can take hours or more.

Low overhead boxes are typically the best candidate to virtualize (IMO) but
if you have a very robust virtual host, you can get away with virtualizing
database servers, etc. as well.

Re: VMWare / Virtualization

[Phil Brutsche]

Anything that requires specialized ISA/PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E hardware - fax
cards, crypto cards, etc - absolutely cannot be virtualized.

Anything that's timing sensitive - VoIP, software that needs to
communicate over serial or parallel - might or might not work. VoIP in
particular is discouraged for production but is passable for testing
purposes.

Anything else is fair game, but be aware that not all applications are
supported in a virtualized environment. E2k7 is one of them (but I'm
sure Hyper-V will be officially supported - gee, imagine that), Oracle
is another. That's not to say it won't work, it's just that if:
a) they find out it's virtualized
b) trace a problem you're having to the fact that it's virtualized
the support people will say "we can't help you".

RE: VMWare / Virtualization

[Ken Cornetet]

With big servers, lots of RAM, and ESX the ONLY thing that would be out
of the question for virtualization is REALLY heavy hitters like SAP R3
production servers.

 

We've been virtualizing everything we can. Given what I've seen out of
our ESX servers (quad quad-core DL580 64GB RAM), I wouldn't be afraid of
even a fairly heavily loaded e2k3 system.

 

SQL may be a different story, but because of RAM, not performance. 

 

ESX rocks!

Re: Adding a reg_binary using reg add

[Gavin Wilby]

Hmmm - see there are bits in it that are unique to the sites that the file
is run on: so there are a few "set /p" strings in their that the tech has to
fill out, email addresses of the main contact and such like.

The BIG bit is the HP Event Notify string that tells the server what events
to alert on - Ill see if it can be echo'd out though.

Good tip.

RE: Calculate kilowatts

[Lee, Damon]

You need to get the total btu's your room is generating. Add the max
wattage from all devices in the room and multiply by 3.5 to get the
btu's your equipment is generating. Give this to your a/c vendor to find
the right system for your room.

 

If really want to get into a finer level of detail, there are
multipliers to calculate the btu's for the square footage of the room,
lights, windows,...

How to modify DFS target

[Chris.Bodnar]

I don't see a way to modify the target path of a DFS link. I have
recently migrated 2 stand alone file servers into a MS cluster. I have
aliased the names so users weren't affected. What I would like to do, is
clean up the DFS paths. They still reference the old server names, which
the cluster is responding to. I thought I could script this but I see no
way to do this with the DFS WMI providers or DFSCMD.  The only way I can
see to do this manually is add a 2nd target for the existing link, then
delete the first target. 

Has anyone run into this before?

Citrix printing question

[Joe Heaton]

Presentation Server 4.0
Client 10.0.2
 
Trying to make printing bullet-proof for users.
 
We have 3 remote offices, Foster City (Bay Area), North Hollywood, and
San Diego.  These offices connect to published applications here in
Sacramento.  The main application is a Foxpro database app.  I want them
to automatically print to their default printer.  Sounds easy enough.
Here's what I've run into:
 
1)  Default printer on Client X is set to printer A when I installed the
client (PNAgent), and made the initial connection.  User decides they
want Printer B as their default, go into their client printer settings,
and change the default to Printer B.  Reconnect through PNAgent, print
from the application, and the print job comes out at Printer A still.
 
2)  During troubleshooting of issue 1, I delete all printers from the
client machine, except for the one we really want to print to.  Test
printing, and now, it tries to print to Microsoft Office Document Image
Writer, which is not installed on this client's machine.  Had to remote
to the server, and delete the drivers there, which had mysteriously been
installed.
 
What I'd like to get to is a seamless situation, where the client can
choose where they want to print, without Citrix giving them a hard time
about it.  I'd like to use the UPD, to ease maintenance of printer
drivers.  Our printers are accessed through a print server, so I don't
know if I can use the UPD.  If not, then what would be the best plan of
attack?  I do not have any printers setup within PSC, but I can if need
be.  I have created a single policy, which uses the UPD, exclusively,
and I'm waiting to see if this causes screams.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.  I do have the PS4.0 Admin Guide here
on my desk, but have not delved too deeply into the printing section as
of yet.
 
Thanks,

RE: exchange book for newbie

[Michael B. Smith]

That's what I thought you meant. You probably should start here:

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/72b55950-86cc-4c7f-8f
bf-3063276cd0b61033.mspx?mfr=true

 

With Windows Server, RBAC is really an application-layer responsibility, not
an OS-layer responsibility. Lots of applications (Exchange is one, to some
degree; SharePoint and Project Server are better examples) implement RBAC on
top of the AAA provided by the OS.

MBS,

Below is a good explanation of what I am after.  Thanks!

Within an organization, roles are created for various job functions. The
permissions to perform certain operations ('permissions') are assigned to
specific roles. Members of staff (or other system users) are assigned
particular roles, and through those role assignments acquire the permissions
to perform particular system functions. Unlike context-based access control
(CBAC), RBAC does not look at the message context (such as where the
connection was started from).

Since users are not assigned permissions directly, but only acquire them
through their role (or roles), management of individual user rights becomes
a matter of simply assigning the appropriate roles to the user, which
simplifies common operations such as adding a user, or changing a user's
department.

I am looking for a good exchange book for a newbie.  Any
recommendations?  I am specifically looking to learn a lot
about user accounts , groups, and role-based access.

Absolutely the BEST book on Exchange 2003 was never published.  It was
written by an expert, who is on this list, who may let you know about his
little book.

I found 'Exchange 2000 Server 24seven' by Jim McBee was very good. Very
thorough and written in a style that didn't put you to sleep. I'm sure
the 2003 incarnation is just as good.

Bugs are there, Eset is very aware of them.
Most of the configuration can not be done from the editor as the package
ignores them as its compiled for distribution. My solution was to make edits
that I had to deduce and manually slip them into the xml just as I asked it
to be packaged so it was sucked in. Thats just one...

As much as I love ESET its got its own set of crappy issues. The HTTP
scanner is so good, it doesnt let anything but plain text through :) It
broke everything our company used... I had to disable it. The Scan Network
Drives also had to be disabled, silly concept anyway. I also disabled the
mail/spam scanning as its done on the exchange box.

 

With those changes in place the app worked well.

Negative.

What is your background?  Are you familiar with smtp communication, mail

Microsoft documentation is actually pretty good for Exchange 2007.

Re: exchange book for newbie

[Steven Peck]

Ya, there are some similarities.  They are both called Exchange.  They
both deal with calendaring and email.  They are both by Microsoft.
After that, it gets a little fuzzy.

Exchange 2007 is a major architectural and interface management change
over Exchange 200/2003.

There are a lot of relavant things that will apply, basic smtp
troubleshooting skills, mail flow routing, etc will all server you
across versions.

So, you using Exchange 2003 or 2007?

I'm using True Image Workstation 9.1.

Yes, it handles open files fine. I believe it works at the block level
rather than the file level so open or closed makes no difference.

Estimating login script execution time

[Michael . Leone]

So here's my situation: right now I have an OU with 36 (yes, 36) GPOs. 
These GPOS are identical, from what I can see, except for the login script 
they call, to map drive letters and printers. Each GPO is linked to a 
specific AD group.

Obviously, this is not an ideal situation ... :-)

Anyway, I want to make 1 GPO, that calls 1 login script (written in 
VBScript). This login script would have a case statement, that would check 
membership in any of these 36 groups, and map drives and printers 
accordingly. But I'm wondering about how long such a script will take to 
execute, especially since all these users are at remote sites (connected 
via frame relay links, for the most part). Obviously I don't want the 
login process to have to wait forever, while it processes a large login 
script. The script itself isn't complicated, just long, since it's a case 
statement on group membership. 

Anyone have any ideas on how to estimate this? Is anyone doing a login 
script that has anything like a 36-way case statement? The way I have it 
now, I have a FOR loop that cycles through each AD group a user belongs 
to. So that CASE statement would be evaluated for each group membership of 
a user. And some of my users have a dozen group memberships  And since 
each user will be a member of only a single SITExx group, (so a user will 
never be a member of both SITE01 and SITE23, for exanple), the case 
statement will only *execute* drive mappings once (for SITE01), but be 
*evaluated* multiple times (for all other AD groups that a users belongs 
to, besides SITE01).

Thanks for any pointers.

snippet:


-
Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

'Automatically grab the user's domain name
DomainString = Wshnetwork.UserDomain

'Grab the user name
UserString = WSHNetwork.UserName

'Bind to the user object to get user name and check for group memberships 
later
Set UserObj = GetObject("WinNT://" & DomainString & "/" & UserString)

For Each GroupObj In UserObj.Groups
Case "SITE01"
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "H:", "\\SAN\SITE01-SHARE",True
End Select
Next

RE: Nod32 v3 and SP3

[Stefan Jafs]

I'll stay with v2 it works great, the only problem I see is that I get a
warning message saying: 

24/06/2008 10:56:22 AM - During execution of Update on the computer
AC-RECEIVING02, the following warning occurred: Update attempt failed
(Update file download failed.)

 

When I check the Desktop it does have the current definitions so, it
looks like it retried and succeeded. 

This happens maybe 5-10 times a day on different Desktops. 

But since they do get the current def's I ignore the message.

Bugs are there, Eset is very aware of them.
Most of the configuration can not be done from the editor as the package
ignores them as its compiled for distribution. My solution was to make
edits that I had to deduce and manually slip them into the xml just as I
asked it to be packaged so it was sucked in. Thats just one...

I did my deployment testing on a fresh winxpsp3 vm with no issues.

 

As much as I love ESET its got its own set of crappy issues. The HTTP
scanner is so good, it doesnt let anything but plain text through :) It
broke everything our company used... I had to disable it. The Scan
Network Drives also had to be disabled, silly concept anyway. I also
disabled the mail/spam scanning as its done on the exchange box.

 

With those changes in place the app worked well.

Any users out here running Nod32 v3 and SP3?  We're replacing Trend
Micro with Nod32 and in our pilot group, their machines hang sometimes
when bringing up the desktop.  I've opened a case with Eset, but haven't
heard anything yet.  A workaround I devised is to set the Eset service
to manual, and then in the startup group doing a "net start ekrn"   

I haven't had any issues with Server 2003 SP2.
