How to Display/Change Workgroup name in Server 2008 Core
I'm Googling high and low and can't find an answer to the following question: How do I change the name of the Workgroup that a Server 2008 core machine uses? I found netdom as a tool to join a domain, but we're in a Workgroup environment and trying to use netdom to change the workgroup name has not been successful. And while I'm on that subject, I also can't figure out how to get Server Core to show me what the name of the current workgroup is. I assume it's the MS default Workgroup but I'm not sure.

RE: Outloot Limit on messages per folder
For archiving purposes in the past I've had over 300k in one folder. What makes the biggest difference if you are running a PST or OST is the local hardware. It was amazing how much faster access improved when I put the pst on a Raptor SATA2 drive separate from the OS instead of a normal SATA. 10-20 GB PST with 200k msg's in one folder and access is almost real time when you are sorting and searching. My Sunbelt lists have 20k-200k on them and they are running just fine, all on the server no local storage. It also seems like if you are running in cached mode there's just no hope of a large mailbox having any speed to it, especially when you first fire up outlook. One thing people seem to forget with a PST and OST is to defrag every once in a while. Again, depending on the hardware that can make a huge difference and I think the original question is entirely subjective to that. My mail store is only around 60 Gig with 150 users on an overkill server so everyone else's mileage may vary.

That's funny, the Acrobat scenario is the exact case in question for me:) Thanks! jlc From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: GPO Based Software Deployment Targeting Yep-we have tons of software deployed via gpo set up using groups other than authenticated users, all in the same policies. The easiest way is to create a group in AD and add the computers you want to have the application to that group. If you already have some installations you want to keep, you need to replicate your AD and restart the pc so that their access tokens get updated with the new group info (so the software doesn't uninstall on you where you want to keep it). Then, filter that deployed app by removing authenticated users and add your group of computers. The only place we use deny permissions is where we have conflicting applications, but it also works well. For example, we don't want Acrobat Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.

Re: Looks like Vmware Update 2 is available again.
I agree that most of our experience with ESX has been very positive. However, this particular bug had such big ramifications. Plus the EMC companies haven't had good luck in the past couple of weeks with some patching: 1) When we originally installed our RSA Authentication manager, it was encouraged and even recommended that we install on VMWare. We even had an RSA tech on site assisting. Well 2 weeks ago we started to do an upgrade. After multiple failures, we call RSA support. The technician sheepishly stated the new version won't work on VM. A few days later we got a mass email saying it wouldn't work. So VMWare will host most applications --- just not one of thier own. The irony is pretty thick. 2) Then the ESX Update 2 issue. 3) Yesterday we received a patch for EMC DiskXtender. An hour later we received an emergency email and phone call Do NOT install that patch! Previously I believed that all 3 companies had quality products and excellent QA and release processes. Maybe it's growth or integration pains, or market pressure for new versions, but it seems some quality process has declined a bit. Kevin On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 10:15 AM, Joseph L.

The funny part this guy was an EX Microsoft Higher Up, and he is already making the wrong impression with the Virtual world at Vmware. And trust me folks, the fix is not pretty, we are applying it now, and its quite funky, Z VMware has announced the availability of a patch to fix the date bug that was reported earlier yesterday. They have also released a letter from their CEO, Paul Maritz, explaining the problem and apologizing for it. From VMware support: Dear VMware Customer, The express patches are now available for download that will resolve the ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 issue which causes the product license to expire as of August 12, 2008. Please go to http://www.vmware.com/go/esxexpresspatches for more information. Thank You, The VMware ESX Product Team The express patch page displays the following information, be sure and carefully read through the KB articles that apply to either ESX or ESXi before download the new versions. The ESXi patch is about 204MB in size and the ESX patch is 104MB. The patches do not require a reboot of the ESX host but it must be in maintenance mode and all virtual machines shut down or moved to other hosts before it can be applied. The suggested steps for applying the patch as posted by one user in the Vmtn forums are: 1) Turn off the ntp client on ESX 3.5 u2 server that you are going to VMotion VM's too 2) Make sure VM's tools do not have time checked Time synchronization between the virtual machine and ESX server operation system 3) Change the date on ESX server that you are going to vmotion your VMs to 4) vmotion the VM's to the ESX server with the date changed 5) Apply the patch to the ESX 3.5 u2 server that the VMs have been moved off of 6_ Vmotion the VM's back to the patched ESX 3.5 u2 server 7) Patch and change the date back on the other ESX 3.5
Re: Looks like Vmware Update 2 is available again.
This wasn't that type of notification. We had been working with an engineer who told us to apply the patch and almost at the same time they released an internal notification to not use that patch.

Vista Antivirus 2008 malware removal
Hey guys; I was called in to look over another tech's customer who had a system where they had (mostly) removed the Vista Antivirus 2008 fake AV malware. The only issue still remaining was what we thought at first was a simple browser redirection issue - visting a huge number of security-related sites resulted in a 404. Well, it wasn't a BHO, and it wasn't a redirect, and it's not a HOSTS file. It's something screwed in the TCP/IP stack. NSLOOKUP returns the proper DNS result for a site, but when you send any traffic to it at all - ping, let's say - it's redirected to localhost. Anyone seen this before and fixed it by means other than burning down the system, which is what I'm going to recommend otherwise? -- Durf -- -- Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.

RE: Disconnected on a schedule???
Signing up for a free trail on experts-exchange did nothing since 1. The original question was actually how to replicate the data since they were not replicating prior to the problem, and 2. The answers posted really didn't address the question that was even asked but since no one spoke up, it auto closed with a positively corrected answer! This sounds MUCH more like the problem I'm having: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822219 I had totally disabled the Symantec Antivirus on the server, but never thought to disable the VERITAS (err Symantec) Backup Exec Remote Agent (RANT) on the server. By now all the data is on the other file server and all replication is turned off but the problem is still happening! So I'm going to disable the RANT and see if that 'solves' the problem. Maybe this is what I 'need' to get enough funds to upgrade our Backup Exec 10D. -Original Message- From: Miller Bonnie L.

You might want to sign up an account to read the comments (not sure if they are really helpful), but in the problem description, the person mentions stopping the DFS Service to stabilize the box. Over the last couple of months our Poweredge server would hang the only response we would get from it was a ping we would have to give it a cold start. We disabled the replication to the second dfs server but this didnt help. We have now stopped the dfs service and disabled it on the box (dfs1) for the last two days and it has been stable. It could still be unrelated to what you're seeing though.

Sorry I didn't make that clear, when this started we were really thinking it was a firewall problem and it morphed over to a server problem rather slowly. The DFS Replication logs show an error every few weeks about a file that cannot be replicated due to consistent sharing violations, but normally all I see are the informational 'a file was changed on multiple servers and a conflict resolution algorithm was used to determine the winning file.' The data/time on the sharing violations do not match anywhere close to the date/time of the current outages we are seeing. We have gone over each documented outage time and looked through all the log files for anything close to the outages and found nothing recorded within five minutes of any outage.

RE: Vista Antivirus 2008 malware removal
Don't know if the Vista version is the same or not, but I just cleaned up XP Antivirus 2008 on a machine. Nasty piece of crap to eradicate, though. Had to stop some weird file from auto-starting, manually delete a folder of the same name from C:\Program Files\ and used Malwarebytes to remove the Registry entries. Then manually combed through the Registry and found a couple remains.

This gets more complicated than it seems. When the DC starts, it inherits the time based on the previous offset from the hardware. It then needs to correct itself.

Re: Windows Defender or some other antivirus/anti spyware solution?
Not sure if Defender would have caught this but I have an observation: A client who has NOD32 ver 3.0 with the latest updates was infected by an old Bagle variant which was easy to spot in the registry. Manual scanning of the infectious file with NOD32 did not show anything. The [always useful] F-secure online scanner at: http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml picked it up as: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/bagle.shtml The worm is old and even though it wasn't sending out copies, was listening on port 6777.

Unfortunately, they probably make more money from this than a straight job, or at least close enough that the thrill of being bad is enough to make up for it.

Hi folks, We are doing the Vista thing on new machines, as XP is getting harder to get a hold of. As a policy, should we use Windows Defender that comes with Vista, and is upgraded frequently through our WSUS server, or should we remove it, and use some other antivirus/antispyware solution(s)? Just curious what others are thinking/doing about this. Thanks.
