I read about it yesterday. It is supposed to use checksums on files. If a file hasn't changed it isn't scanned.

RE: MS SQL Server Failover/Replication scenarios
For what it's worth (and not answering your main question), automated failover can be more dangerous than manual failover depending on the circumstances. For example, we have a wonderful High Availability VMWare infrastructure here, but I still have not implemented automatic failover - rather my team waits for a recommendation from the VMWare monitors and then fires off the failover manually if required, only if the situation has been confirmed. This is because it is entirely possible for a false server down signal to be generated (although rare) which would instigate the failover, and you then have the added problem of failing back and syncing any new data. If the systems are fully monitored and you can stand a few minutes downtime in the case of a server failure, then manual works well. Of course, your failover process needs to be touch of a button :-) Andy.

NTUSER.DAT in use but no user logged on
Hi, I've got a problem for one user on one TS box in our little farm here. Each morning for the last few morning she logs on and gets told that she's being logged on with a blank profile as her cannot be found. Looking at it, her profile is there, as normal. However, any attempts to rename or move or delete her profile folder were met with a box saying it's in use, even though she isn't logged on. We checked the TS Manager, and she's not logged on. We checked the Task Manager and no processes are running in her name at all. Then we fired up process explorer and searched for handles to her profile folders. There are four that show up. System - 4 - Handle - c:\documents and settings\username\ntuser.dat System - 4 - Handle - c:\documents and settings\username System - 4 - Handle - c:\documents and settings\username\ntuser.dat.log Lsass.exe - 4 - Handle - domainname\username:5dadd7 Now, this is odd. There aren't any files in use for other users who aren't logged on to the server, and she is the only person reporting this issue. Before I close these handles in an attempt to get her logging on to this server again, is there a way to find out what is causing these files to be open ? Windows 2003 Server if that helps.

If they are using SQL Server 2005 (or newer) then they really should look at Database Mirroring rather than log shipping, as that has the potential for maintaining consistency between databases (e.g. requiring synchronous writes), though there are other options as well that are more performant if you can sustain some loss of data at the mirror.

Perhaps. My main problem is that generally this list is quite open about alternative technologies to solving a particular problem, even though it's officially an nt system administrators list. Many of us here are working with varied and mixed environments, some by choice and some by fiat or inheritence. I have trouble when that same open attitude can't be extended to Apple. Does Apple have control issues? Sure, but then so does Microsoft. So does IBM, HP, Dell, any vendor wants to exercise as much control over their product as possible. Apple just happens to be a bit more successful in exercising that control to fulfill their vision. If you happen to disagree with that vision, that's fine, too, but my feeling is that this list generally doesn't discount any company regardless of their vision if they're capable of providing the right tool for a given application. I try and use the best tool for the job. To wit, I bought a Macbook Pro as my last notebook, because I wanted to play some games on it, and I wanted to do some video editing work with video's we've collected of our daughter since she was born. I spec'ed out similar systems from HP, Dell, and Apple (obviously). All were about comparable in price for what I wanted to do, but the Apple won because it had great easy to use video editing software and, I could run Windows in Bootcamp.

TS 2008 in CPA/Accounting environment
Hi all, I have a 25 person accounting form as a client. I am discussing the possibility of installing a new 2008 TS for them. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with TS in an accounting/CPA environment? Any gotchas that weren't evident at first? Should I expect issues with using TS on x64 with LOB apps? My biggest concern right now is Quickbooks. They have about 6 different years/versions of Quickbooks that they must use to work with different client's files. From what I know, I think Intuit only states that TS is supported in the Enterprise versions, not the Pro. But my guess is that many people use it that way anyway. Any insight?

I am discussing the possibility of installing a new 2008 TS for them. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with TS in an accounting/CPA environment? Any gotchas that weren't evident at first? Should I expect issues with using TS on x64 with LOB apps? My biggest concern right now is Quickbooks. They have about 6 different years/versions of Quickbooks that they must use to work with different client's files. From what I know, I think Intuit only states that TS is supported in the Enterprise versions, not the Pro. But my guess is that many people use it that way anyway. Any insight?

Re: Minimum specifications?
Speed - As long as it's not a Celeron or the AMD equivalent it will be more than fast enough for anything you'll throw at it. If you're talking about a machine with a Core 2 Duo, at 1.8GHz each CPU core is as fast as or faster than a 3GHz P4. A E4000-series Intel processor is wicked fast and not very expensive, but the E2000-series isn't that far behind performance-wise and is a good bit cheaper. I gave one of our warehouse workers a Dell OptiPlex 330 with a E2180 processor (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo) and it blows his previous machine (a 2.8GHz P4 OptiPlex GX280) out of the water. RAM - 1GB minimum for XP, 2GB minimum for Vista. We buy our machines with 2GB. Disk - These days the minimum HD is 80GB and 160GB is common, and in a business environment where all data is stored on one or more servers the capacity is irrelevant. Home users care much much more, and 160GB is the minimum in most home user-oriented machines. Generally speaking our software installation load is 10GB or so. Video - For general business use integrated video, hands down. Intel's integrated video gets a bad rap from a lot of people (mostly AMD fanboys), but it's a lot better than it used to be. The only reason *not* to use integrated video would be support for dual monitors or you have an application that needs more than just the basics (AutoCAD-type stuff, professional video editing or other graphics work, etc).

RE: Multiple SSL sites through ISA
-Original Message- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Multiple SSL sites through ISA Ok, I have a cold and the brain is fuzzy. I should know this one. I have two internal servers I want to publish via ISA 2006. One is just a website, the other is OWA 2007. Both have their own certs. So export the certs, copy them over to ISA and install them as personal certs. No problem so far. One site was actually already set up, I am just adding the OWA site. When I create a second listener for HTTPS and use the other cert it changes the cert on the first listener. So logic tells me I need to put both sites on one listener somehow? How do I set up an HTTPS listener for each internal site, yet use different certs for each site? You can't. ISA server doesn't know which cert to provide to the end user in response to a request. Your options are: a) have two listeners (requires two IP addresses or two ports) b) have a certificate with a CN and subject alternate name (SAN) c) have a wildcard certificate Cheers Ken ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: OT: iPhone update - how long does it take?
After getting the iPhone and setting it up for my son, I have to say, I won't have one. at least not the current version. It is no comparison to the Blackberry for business use. The iPhone is difficult to type on, the Activsync is troublesome at best, and it is just too big. I will stick with my 8310 curve. I only use my iPod when flying and the iPhone and iPod touch don't have enough storage, so the benefit of an all in one is lost on me. However, my son seems to enjoy it, but he is just 11.

Your opinion doesn't offend me.

It is supposed to use checksums on files. If a file hasn't changed it isn't scanned. Only problem with that that I see is if it's a new virus it gets a checksum and doesn't get checked again, unless sometimes you do a full scan where everything gets checked.
