Hoping catching malware will work as well, I installed NAV 2009 on several 
standalone Xp or Vista machines and I was really impressed by the "no" weight 
of the software.

Also the install was "not" as usual Symantec . Quich and smooth.

Sorry we installed Kapersky and tried it in several environments.  It does the 
job, but we saw a performance decrease across the board whether on XP, Vista or 
Server.  Not bad enough to not use the pc, but a slowdown none the less.  Vipre 
has had virtually zero impact in the dozen environments we have moved to.  The 
hardest part of the migration was removing the previous installations of 
Symantec, Trend, or McCrapee.  Symantec by far being the worst.  Sunbelts 
console is simply and easy to use, its needs some management tweaking for 
controls, but so far its been pretty painless.  Support is as always best of 
breed in my book.

Nothing against Sunbelt, but try Kaspersky - we've been demoing it for the last 
few weeks at my office, and it seems very nice, flexible, well-designed, and 
has good management.  Plus the engine and defs are fairly widely used in 3rd 
party products (GFI, etc), and I have yet to hear of their engine/defs blowing

Please note the following issue from 2002:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=319182

IE will not accept cookies from servers with invalid host names (e.g. they 
contain an underscore). So, you can use these names in the DNS, but if you are 
running a webserver at that address, you may have issues with your browser (if 
it's IE)

I do something similar, but I simply changed where new computers are put by 
default. My computers now go to an OU with GPOs applied by default instead of 
going to "Computers", after that they can be further moved if necessary to 
receive additional GPOs and/or software which I install via SCE. The really 
nice part about this is that we use ForeFront for Anti-Malware which you can 
apply to any OU or Group, so now every machine that joins our domain gets AM 
software installed as a part of joining the domain. No manual intervention 
required to protect all computers in the domain by default.

My desktop guys (and all of IT, actually) are admins on all of the
desktops, but not domain admins, so I've delegated an OU for them to
put the PCs into. I've written a little script that joins the machine
to the domain and makes sure it goes into the correct OU at the same
time. It also makes sure that the IT department are local
administrators on the box, not just the domain admins.

--begin batch file--
set /p wkst=Name of Workstation to be added:
set /p name=Your Domain ID:

netdom join %wkst% /domain:mycompany
/ou:ou=workstations,ou=computers,dc=mycompany,dc=com /ud:%name%

You shouldn't have to wait for the server to reboot for the GPO to be
updated - if you want, you can force the group policy settings to be
refreshed sooner than the default group policy refresh interval.

I don't know if that would be a nightmare or a revelation to find out

I think you want to go to

if this applies to the domain controller.

 

There should be a box for "Define these policy settings".  Is that
what's missing?

 

I'm not sure what you mean by the file being located in the Domain Group
Policy on the DC.  Do you mean the file is on the Domain Controller

I can't get anything to show up in event log.

Is there anything that logs the event when files are deleted over the
network?

 

A user in one of our departments is deleting files, either
unintentionally or not.  The best I can do is check my daily backups to
find out which day it happened, but we'd like to find out who it is.  We
don't need something to recover deleted network files, just something
that logs the event that includes the username.  Is there anything out
there that can do this?

Continued Printer Driver Corruption

[Mike Gill]

We have an HP9065 MFP. I have the Postscript and PCL driver installed on our
Win2K3 server and we've been using this printer for more than a couple years
this way. Recently, when using the PS driver, you can't select Printer
Preferences or the application (all of them) simply bombs out and disappears
from the screen. If you look at the printer properties and choose
Preferences from there, you get a protection fault error dialogue (exception
code 0xc005). I have tried uninstalling the driver from the server using
the Server Properties as well as using the Cleanspl.exe tool. I fixed it by
once reinstalling the printer but I had to use a different share name or the
error would persist on the clients. But now it's happening again and I'm not
sure why this one particular driver is giving so much grief. I can't keep
recreating the printer every week or so.

RE: logging deleted files

[Paul Everett]

I don't know if that would be a nightmare or a revelation to find out
that my DC wasn't my DC, but alas it is.  It just doesn't show either of
the Domain Security Policy's in Admin Tools.  I did however find the
Domain Controller Security Policy in the GP of the Domain Controllers in
Active Directory.  I made the change and expect it to show up with my
next Server roboot.

Thanks!

if this applies to the domain controller.

 

There should be a box for "Define these policy settings".  Is that

I'm not sure what you mean by the file being located in the Domain Group

Is there anything that logs the event when files are deleted over the
network?

 

A user in one of our departments is deleting files, either
unintentionally or not.  The best I can do is check my daily backups to
find out which day it happened, but we'd like to find out who it is.  We
don't need something to recover deleted network files, just something
that logs the event that includes the username.  Is there anything out
there that can do this?

We have a 2003 AD Domain.

MS SQL Server Failover/Replication scenarios

[Jonathan Link]

We have a client that handles lots of data.  I can't be more descriptive of
that because of the environment we're in.  I need a good primer on MS SQL
Server failover and replication.  Right now, their vendor is using log
shipping to replicate data between their main site and their DR site.
My understanding of log shipping and the client makes me suspect that there
is a large potential for data loss.  There is a lot of information I don't
know and what I really need is a good place to start reading so I don't end
up asking stupid questions of the client and their vendor.  For example, I
don't know what the interval is.  I know that the client didn't want
automated failover (not sure why, yet),

Any tips you could provide me to get started besides the typical google
search, which I am undertaking while composing this email would be extremely
helpful.

RE: logging deleted files

[James Winzenz]

Check the following Group Policy Objects to see if you have auditing
enabled:

 

1.  Default Domain Controllers Policy
2.  Default Server Policy
3.  Default Computer Policy

 

Do you have auditing enabled for the Default Domain Policy?  Which
specific GPO do you have this setting applied to?  BTW, our Default
Domain Controllers Policy has the audit object access set to No
Auditing.  If yours is configured this way, it would override any domain
gpo if "No Override" is not specified, and I really don't think you
would want to do that with your domain controller(s).  Since the Default
Domain Controllers Policy is linked to the Domain Controllers OU, it
would take precedence over the Default Domain Policy.

 

The audit setting (as previously mentioned) is audit object access, and
you would at least need to enable for success.  Then on the folder (and
subfolders and files) in question, you would need to configure auditing
for delete, delete subfolder and files.  You would also need to specify
the individual (or group) that should be audited against.  It appears
this would be logged under event ID 560.

RE: CREATING NEW 2K3 SERVER PROBLEM WITH LOADING FROM FLOPPY DR

[Murray Freeman]

Well, we have spent a lot of time on this, but we finally solved it, and
I thought I'd share this with everyone. When we originally created the
floppy disk with the drivers, we did it on a workstation with a standard
floppy disk drive interface. We would then attach a USB floppy disk
drive that we have to the new server, and that just wasn't getting the
job done. So, we finally connected the USB floppy disk drive to our
workstation and copied the necessary driver files to another diskette
using the USB floppy disk drive. When we then connected the USB floppy
disk drive to the new server, problem solved. I can't tell why this
worked, but it did. Thanks for the suggestions.

Check your Bios again.  Just because it recognizes the Drive in the Bios
you will still need to change the appropriate setting in the Bios to
allow it to use the USB Floppy.  At least that is what we have had to do
on some of ours.

We're trying to build a new Windows Server 2K3, and since our server has
no floppy drive, we're using a USB floppy and while the BIOS recognizes
the drive, Windoes Server can't find the file it's looking for. We have
also used a USB thumb wheel which we formated to look like a Floppy
Drive, and same result. Unfortunately, Windows Server 2K3 will only look
for the Hard drive drivers on a "floppy" disk. We have a HP Proliant
ML110 and were trying to set up a raid. Any ideas on how to get around
the floppy issue?

That's what I get for being old school.  I had an NT 4 domain that I had
used underscores on years ago and had internal dns issues with our FreeBSD

Unfortunately no. This could be by far the worst application I have ever had
to deploy on a large scale. It runs on FoxPro, for starters. You can't
delete users without actually doing it via the SQL database, and the
"database" server relies on having a mapped R: drive (which means a
logged-in user). Absolute POS of the highest order.

I was the lead architect/developer for one of the largest (if not the
largest) provider of software for the Public Housing market in a past life.
There are two things that really just do not go together: Citrix and FoxPro.
I have never seen a FoxPro app that runs properly in a Citrix/TS
environment.  I know the company I used to work for is now writing all new
dev work in Delphi but they are still using FoxPro data files and indexes.

Check your Bios again.  Just because it recognizes the Drive in the Bios
you will still need to change the appropriate setting in the Bios to
allow it to use the USB Floppy.  At least that is what we have had to do
on some of ours.

We join them to the domain but we only do 3 or 4 a month so it's no big deal 
but our naming convention requires a machine to be identified by the office 
it's in so that's a major factor in just doing it when it's sitting in its

When you guys build new PCs, do you create the AD object first, or simply join 
the domain from the PC afterwards?  I've always created the PC, then joined the 
domain, but our desktop guy just mentioned that our manager wanted him to 
create the AD object first.  My first instinct is to say no, because then 
you're creating an AD object for something that doesn't exist yet, but other 
than that, I didn't have a real reason.  Anyone have a better reason?

I've done it both ways. I usually try to have the AD objects created
first.

If you create the AD object first the machine will get the right GPOs
right off the bat. It's less work that way, especially if you use
software installation GPOs. The machine is 100% ready to go sooner.

Re: creaig new 2k3 server problem with loading from floppy dr

[Steve Ens]

I've seen this before Murray, but can I remember what I did?  I think it was
because I was using the wrong RAID driver...yes make sure you have the
correct driver...intel series driver I think.
It's night and day setting up the 1xx series compared to the real 3xx
servers
have you got a USB floppy drive?

RE: CREATING NEW 2K3 SERVER PROBLEM WITH LOADING FROM FLOPPY DR

We've got lots of floppies, but the Server doesn't have a floppy
interface, so we are using USB floppies. The Proliant recognizes the
floppy, but the Windows Server 2K3 is having trouble recognizing the
floppy.

If it absotively, posilutely won't take recognize the USB connections

Doesn't imagex just create/mount images, and peimg /inf is what "injected"

ImageX would work fine for "imaging" but it cant inject drivers into XP.
Sysprep will *very* much help you. It's designed to do just this, it will
allow additional Mass Storage Drivers to be included in the image, then it
will remove what's not present after.

nLite is cool, but its more than a GUI front end, it's a bit of a hack.

Due to the big difference in machine hardware, sysprepping won´t help me

drivers for the most common hardware pieces we use. Would like to add Adobe
Reader, Java, media player updates to that also.

What would be the MS-approved name for the technology to do that, so that I

If you create the AD object first the machine will get the right GPOs

I don't have a "better" reason, but with SBS you have to create the account
on the server first to use the wizard.  Maybe that's where the other
arguement comes from???  We do it like you do.

RE: new computers

[Salvador Manzo]

How structured is the creation process?  For us, if the account isn't
pre-staged, it tends to stay in our generic New PC OU.  Given that the
field guys don't get local Admin unless it's specifically in _their_
structure (5 branches within AD), the options are - A) pre-stage and be
sure it's right out of the box or B) revert to local Admin and leave it
in the generic OU.

Re: Dell OEM XP Pro cd w/ SP3

Hardware is a non issue. Take a look at my sysprep.inf to see how I do it:

http://www.optimumdata.net/phil/sysprep.inf

Because of the SysprepMassStorage section it does not matter if the
machine has SCSI drives, SAS drives, IDE drives, or SATA drives.

IMO the general rule of thumb for application installation should be:
applications are not ever put on the deployment image. That's what
software installation GPOs are for. I make an exception for IE7, a VNC
server, WMP, and .NET Framework.

The only thing I don't have an answer for is the localization settings
(keyboard, timezone).

RE: logging deleted files

I don't have a Domain Controller Security Policy in Admin Tools, just
Local Security Policy and "yes" the "Define these policy settings" box
is missing.

I just meant the files in question are on the DC.

if this applies to the domain controller.

 

There should be a box for "Define these policy settings".  Is that

A user in one of our departments is deleting files, either
unintentionally or not.  The best I can do is check my daily backups to
find out which day it happened, but we'd like to find out who it is.  We

ImageX would work fine for "imaging" but it cant inject drivers into XP.
Sysprep will *very* much help you. It's designed to do just this, it will
allow additional Mass Storage Drivers to be included in the image, then it
will remove what's not present after.

nLite is cool, but its more than a GUI front end, it's a bit of a hack.

Due to the big difference in machine hardware, sysprepping won´t help me
very much.  I need a customized install, with the selections for keyboard,
timezones, group names, accounts, etc, a bunch of SATA drivers, other
drivers for the most common hardware pieces we use. Would like to add Adobe

What would be the MS-approved name for the technology to do that, so that I

RE: just plain old copying CDs

[Phillip Partipilo]

Nothing really all that wrong about that.  My car's radio plays music from a
data CD burned full of MP3 files, so ripping a "protected" CD is a rather
valid thing to desire IMHO - cramming 10 CDs worth of music onto a single
disc reduces clutter.

Re: OT: iphone update - how long does it take?

[Jonathan Link]

Your opinion doesn't offend me.  I never really claimed that you in
particular were anti-apple, but alluded to a pattern of comments I've seen
on the list that tends to discount products that won't work in their
environment and dismissing any potential value those products may have in *
other* environments..
Your comment I guess set me off.  And to boot, the original poster's problem
was not even a configuration problem, more like a Murphy's law problem  If
you apply an update immediately before the application device needs to be
functional the update will fail and (temporarily) brick your system.
I apologize to you for bearing the brunt of my opinion.

Re: OT: iphone update - how long does it take?

[Jonathan Link]

It's already a sunk cost.  VirtualBox wasn't to the point I needed it.
Also, in order to run games, I need more direct access to hardware, so
BootCamp is a necessity.

just plain old copying CDs

[Holstrom, Don]

I just copied a CD and it won't work as it should. I used to use
CloneCD, I may even have copy somewhere. I think they closed shop at the
behest of some organization or another. I also have the latest Roxio and
Nero laying around somewhere. I just want a perfectly copied CD, byte
for byte, down & dirty, easy, so it cannot be recognized as something
other than the original. I have all sorts of machines with both XP &
Vista & OSX so that is not a problem. Is there a consensus on CD
duplication out there?

SNMP event server

[Marc Maiffret]

Hey, does anyone have any recommendations on an SNMP server that will
receive raw snmp events and allow you to create various rules and reports to
slice and dice raw snmp event data and if it can do alerting that is a
bonus. again the ability to receive and manipulate raw SNMP event data is
important, not looking for the standard SNMP server software that does
system health monitoring.

I Have done a RSOP, maybe I am missing a key.  The RSOP can be viewed here:

http://www.mapiadmin.net/music/rsop.htm

I can save an email as an HTML file, just not as a OFT Outlook Template.  Users 
Not in that OU can save as an OFT Outlook Template.  

The exact error is : 

"This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this

This is Outlook 2007.

Thanks again.

My main problem is that generally this list is quite open about alternative

RE: GPO settings for power management?

[Stephen Wimberly]

I have been using EZ GPO for years, just for turning off the monitor on
Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines.

Recently we have been using it to be a bit more aggressive, put the computer
to sleep... my challenge was _not_ to turn off those computers that are used
by users off campus for remote desktop, so I created a WMI filter that
bypasses machines on Static IP Addresses.  (we only use static IP for remote
access.)
