nearly the entire toolset in one big download now so you can just get
them all current at once with a single download.

RE: SysInternals Updates

[Free, Bob]

I used to try to keep up with all the various updates individually and
just download the PSTools suite periodically. It's nice to see the
nearly the entire toolset in one big download now so you can just get
them all current at once with a single download.

RE: SysInternals Updates

I saw an interview with him recently. He said that programming Sysinternals was 
his hobby and way of relaxing, so it sounds like they will continue to be 
improved. In the same interview, he said that many of the old Winternal tools 
were being migrated into other products, like MDOP, etc.

I hope they allow Mark to continue to publish (and that he wants to).

The only real downsides are that they no longer publish the source code for
the sysinternals tools (which was really interesting to look at), and all
the winternals products are gone.

RE: Terminal Server printing question

[Ziots, Edward]

Glad I can help, used that a lot in my Citrix Admin days, to find the
weird ones, those 2 tools are your bread and butter to find, what is
going on behind the scenes of an application when its acting poorly.
Usually application problems in Citrix are usually file
permissions/registry permissions or user rights issues in which the
application needs to work in a multi-user environment.

Problem with users  being able to load print drivers. I believe by

to load printer drivers. 

 

Also You can use filemon/regmon and procmon from Sysinternals, to take a
look at what is going on application wise in that particular function as
compared to when you are logged on as admin, to determine the root cause
of the slow down.

Good afternoon,

 

I'm trying to track down an odd printing issue involving Terminal Server
on a Windows 2003 server.  I am the administrator on the domain, and
we're using an older scheduling program called Xytech.  If I login to
TS, and login to Xytech with a user account, it prints instantly.  If I
login to TS as a user, and then login to Xytech as a user, it takes
60-120 seconds to print.  To rule out permissions, I added the user
account to all the same groups I am in.

 

Any idea what could cause this, or how I can remedy the situation?

 

Thanks,

RE: An alternate storage solution needed...

[Andy Ognenoff]

I don't know...

I think it's probably considered consumer class equipment and same thing
with the drives unless you go with WD Raptors or Caviar RE (RE = RAID
Edition). We use the Caviar RE disks in our iSCSI box for backup data.

But, if you’re on such a limited budget that you're looking at such
inexpensive external storage solutions I think you'll probably find that's
the case with anything you find in that price range.

RE: Two Enterprise Root CA's

[Mike French]

I thought if I followed this thread long enough I would get an answer to
a question I had (but not posted) for awhile. I too have an Old DC with
cert services installed (enterprise CA) from a previous admin. We are
not using it for anything. No client or apps are renewing certs from it
etc... But, I was a little apprehensive at removing it before finally
dcpromoing the box out of existence. Your response just reinforced what
I have been researching, so thanks Troy!

Devin,

That last KB should work just fine, but its OVERLY uptight. Existing
certs wont hurt the laptops if they remain valid and if you don't have
services that look at that CA, they aren't doing anything.  With three
clients revoking them and continuing to publish a CRL is no big deal,
but with many it may become a troublesome un-needed effort.

I would create the GPO that assigns the new CA to the trusted
authorities, re-create any policies and templates on the new CA (doesn't
sound like you have many), and then finally alter any services that used
those certs (RAS, IAS, etc).  Then as long as no enterprise services
depend on certificates from the old CA, uninstall cert services and
decommission the machine.

Good Luck

Troy

I posted this when NTSYSADMIN list was on spamcop and am reposting
now...

Group,

We have two Enterprise Root CA's and need to remove one.  The one I want
to remove has only three computer certificates issued via an auto
enrollment Group Policy, for VPN.

After some googling, I see that I might be able to start the Cert
Authority MMC on the bad CA, navigate to Certification Templates, then
delete all of them.  This should force the machines to renew them on the
other root CA server.

I ran certutil per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/29 to find that I
have two of these.
Per http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-security/934673.htm and
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.security/

lete+%22enterprise+root+ca%22#5414636b3d971257 I can delete all
templates and let them expire.

This seems very heavy handed.  Is this a safe way to proceed?  This is
an Enterprise Root CA for a 2003 Active Directory.

I only have three certs to replace, I wonder if I can just revoke them
one-by-one while I have the laptops in my possession, stop the cert
service on the bad CA, then let the GPO issue a new computer cert on the
good CA.  Then after the three certs are reissued, uninstall Cert
Services from the bad server (decomission it via
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250).

Re: An alternate storage solution needed...

Nice! My question is whether these units can be used for "basic website

looking for cheap and reliable. Factoring in the price for drives, cable(s),

80/20 rule applies. Microsoft’s solution will meet at least 80% of the needs
in this initial release. IMHO.

You could easily read that to mean that you can legally install instances 
of the software on multiple systems.  Would anyone in their right minds 
use an internal business server for doing demos or customer training?  You 
couldn't possibly accomplish all that the Action Pack is intended for with 
just a single system.

RE: Microsoft's Free version of Hyper-V Ships!

[Brumbaugh, Luke]

I have had a blast with Hyper-V so far, I P2V'd a server while running and 
fixed the virtual, so a can recreate on live server.

I have moved boxes from vmware to hyper-v then to virtual PC no problem.

I also backed up hyper-v server with backup exec with 2 running and 2 down.  
When finished, I restored the backed up image without problem.

 

This is a test server paradise and with VMM and portals, tech can have fun and 
I can control them (quotas)

Two Enterprise Root CA's

[Devin Meade]

*I posted this when NTSYSADMIN list was on spamcop and am reposting now...*

Group,

We have two Enterprise Root CA's and need to remove one.  The one I want to
remove has only three computer certificates issued via an auto enrollment
Group Policy, for VPN.

After some googling, I see that I might be able to start the Cert Authority
MMC on the bad CA, navigate to Certification Templates, then delete all of
them.  This should force the machines to renew them on the other root CA
server.

I ran certutil per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/29 to find that I
have two of these.
Per http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-security/934673.htm and
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.security/browse_thread/thread/af6cb6614c34f88f/5414636b3d971257?hl=en&lnk=st&q=delete+%22enterprise+root+ca%22#5414636b3d971257I
can delete all templates and let them expire.

This seems very heavy handed.  Is this a safe way to proceed?  This is an
Enterprise Root CA for a 2003 Active Directory.

I only have three certs to replace, I wonder if I can just revoke them
one-by-one while I have the laptops in my possession, stop the cert service
on the bad CA, then let the GPO issue a new computer cert on the good CA.
Then after the three certs are reissued, uninstall Cert Services from the
bad server (decomission it via http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250).

RE: Actionpack Licensing question

[Carl Houseman]

You could read it that way, but the list of licensed products makes it clear 
how many you can install.

The point is, the choice to use the software for internal business purposes is 
there.  And there are other ways to acquire software for demo purposes besides 
the AP.

Let's not deny kudos to Microsoft for allowing the flexilibity to choose how 
the software is used.

I'm not a command line guru, but that looks about right.

Alternately, assuming a flat network, remove the default gateway from the 
workstation and modify group policy so the user can't get into the network 
settings.

Re: Need to take away internet access for a user..

[Phil Brutsche]

The only 100% foolproof mechanism would be to block at the PIX all
internet-destined traffic originating from that computer.

Any other mechanism - fake proxy settings, blocking only port 80, etc -
can be gotten around by a sufficiently savvy end-user.

As you found out, if you set a fake proxy the end-user could unset it.

The end-user could install an HTTP proxy on his home computer and
configure IE to use that, thereby getting around the port 80/443 block.

Even if the end-user isn't a local administrator they could install
Firefox to a location other than C:\Program Files, getting around any
proxy settings enforced via GPO.

Couple options

 

1.Find out what port s/he is plugged into on the 3560.
Being a Layer 3 switch, you can apply a Layer 3 ACL directly to the port
they live on (see below).

Switch(config)# access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 80

Switch(config)# access-list 101 permit ip any any

Switch(config)# interface fastEthernet0/1

Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in

 

2.Deny them on the PIX (see below).

PIX(config)# access-list INSIDE_ACCESS_OUT deny tcp host 1.1.1.1 any eq
80

PIX(config)# access-list INSIDE_ACCESS_OUT permit ip any any

PIX(config)# access-group INSIDE_ACCESS_OUT in interface

RE: An alternate storage solution needed...

I would seriously look at some of the external RAID storage solutions
discussed on the list over the past couple of weeks.  Not network attached
but eSATA would probably give you the most bang for your buck. I think one
of those enclosures was like $120 then you just have the cost of the SATA
drives.

The Iomega® StorCenter Network Hard Drive would be better than the Linksys
because you can do RAID but still...

While I can surely relate to a company wanting me to do cheap sh!t but wanting 
reliability etc etc I can only point you to ASB's famous sig: "Fast, cheap, 
reliable. Pick two"
Those wont be redundant and the performance is very bad (they are for home 
owners...). I can't see a DB application being thrilled with the potential 
latencies you will likely encounter not to mention the non redundancy of the 
disc's and power supplies. Keep in mind the duty cycle of those devices isn't 
meant to be 24x7 so they will probably get hot which = fail soon.

I'm looking for an affordable solution to replace a failed disk array. The 
array had 7 drives that were configured as a RAID 5, totaling 100GB, and 
attached to a webserver. Both power supplies died on the server and now none of 
the data on those drives are accessible. This would include the company's 
websites. To make things worse the vendor that makes the power suppies, Martek, 
is based out of China and don't have any in stock. Unfortunately the company 
doesn't have any backups so they've come to grips with the fact that they'll 
have to move on without being able to recover or salvage any of that data.
What I'm trying to do is provide an affordable replacement solution where the 
device hooks up to a web server and is seen as an attached drive for their 
websites which have MySQL databases. So I'm wondering if anyone have any 
opinions on using Shared Network Storage over NAS or SAN devices? From the 
looks of it the shared network storage devies fall inline with their immediate 
budget whereas the other two are more expensive.
Here are a few devices I've come across:

LinkStation Live 500GB Shared Network Storage

I have a stupid clustering question... 

 

It's for an Exchange 2007 CCR cluster on Windows Server 2008.  Can I run
differing hardware on the nodes?  Meaning, 1 node have Dual Socket Quad
Core(Xeon 5400) and the other node has Dual Socket Dual Core(Xeon 5100
series).  Everything else will be the same, disk config, ram, same HP
server class. 

 

For a variant; can I run the 1 node with Dual Socket Quad Core Xeon 5300
Series(2.33Ghz) and the other with Dual Socket Quad Core Xeon 5400
Series(2.5GHz)?  Again same HP Server class.

 

I'd think option2 would be more likely than option 1 unless I disabled
processing cores on the Dual Socket Quad Core in option 1.

 

Sorry for the n00balicious question, we're just looking at cost cutting
and reusing available hardware.  

 

I know MS PSS will be stingy on this so I looked up a few things and
found this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732035.aspx

 

Under the section that talks about when to run the validation tests it
has a item for "Adding a new node that uses dissimilar hardware" so that
leads me to believe it is supported, as long as it passes the Failover
Cluster Validation report.

 

Along with the PSS support policy for Svr 2008 -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=943984

Nothing really specific to dissimilar hardware.

 

Thanks,

John

An alternate storage solution needed...

[MarvinC]

I'm looking for an affordable solution to replace a failed disk array. The
array had 7 drives that were configured as a RAID 5, totaling 100GB, and
attached to a webserver. Both power supplies died on the server and now none
of the data on those drives are accessible. This would include the company's
websites. To make things worse the vendor that makes the power suppies,
Martek, is based out of China and don't have any in stock. Unfortunately the
company doesn't have any backups so they've come to grips with the fact that
they'll have to move on without being able to recover or salvage any of that
data.
What I'm trying to do is provide an affordable replacement solution where
the device hooks up to a web server and is seen as an attached drive for
their websites which have MySQL databases. So I'm wondering if anyone have
any opinions on using Shared Network Storage over NAS or SAN devices? From
the looks of it the shared network storage devies fall inline with their
immediate budget whereas the other two are more expensive.
Here are a few devices I've come across:

LinkStation Live 500GB Shared Network Storage
Cost: $179.00
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0256819

Iomega(R) StorCenter Network Hard Drive 1TB
Cost: $309.00

As long as both servers can support the full load, you'll be fine. SCC has
an identical hardware requirement. CCR does not.

I have a stupid clustering question. 

 

It's for an Exchange 2007 CCR cluster on Windows Server 2008.  Can I run
differing hardware on the nodes?  Meaning, 1 node have Dual Socket Quad
Core(Xeon 5400) and the other node has Dual Socket Dual Core(Xeon 5100
series).  Everything else will be the same, disk config, ram, same HP server
class. 

 

For a variant; can I run the 1 node with Dual Socket Quad Core Xeon 5300
Series(2.33Ghz) and the other with Dual Socket Quad Core Xeon 5400
Series(2.5GHz)?  Again same HP Server class.

 

I'd think option2 would be more likely than option 1 unless I disabled
processing cores on the Dual Socket Quad Core in option 1.

 

Sorry for the n00balicious question, we're just looking at cost cutting and
reusing available hardware.  

 

I know MS PSS will be stingy on this so I looked up a few things and found
this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732035.aspx

 

Under the section that talks about when to run the validation tests it has a
item for "Adding a new node that uses dissimilar hardware" so that leads me
to believe it is supported, as long as it passes the Failover Cluster
Validation report.

 

Along with the PSS support policy for Svr 2008 -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=943984

Nothing really specific to dissimilar hardware.

 

Thanks,

use vbscript to massage the output to find files longer than 250

If you changed the part of the GPO that applies at logoff, it "should"
apply at the next GPO refresh interval. If it does while they are logged
on, when they log off the new ly changed GPO settings "should" apply.

 

While testing a GPO that modified the registry, I forced a refresh on
the workstation and the registry change was made.

 

Wouldn't commit to anything without testing though.

So we have these GPOs that enable Offline Folders, and we
administratively set the location of where that points to. We also
redirect "Desktop" and "My Documents". The location is supposed to be
the same for the Offline Folders, as it is for the "My Documents". 

Note "supposed to be". :-) 

So The GPO is redirecting "My Documents" to NEWSERVER, but the Offline
Folders setting is still OLDSERVER. What happens if I go and changed
OLDSERVER to NEWSERVER? 

When the people currently on log off, and they go to synchronize, will
it go to OLDSERVER (which is the setting it had when they logged in this
morning)? Or will it go to NEWSERVER (since the machine will check in
with AD every .. 15 minutes? 2 hours? Whatever the setting is ...) 

I guess what I am asking is, will the new setting take effect when the
user logs off? Or will it take effect the *next* time they log in and
out, the way a lot of GPOs do? (GPOs cache the settings at first login,
then take effect at next login, right?) 

Thanks, and sorry for the oddly worded question

Yes, diruse won't do much for that. However, I don't know what will,

Perhaps the output of 'dir /s /b' could be massaged - sorted according

Re: Windirstat

[Kurt Buff]

Kevin,

FWIW, here are the scripts that I use to find long file/path
specifications - I use 'dir /b /s' to generate a file listing, then
use vbscript to massage the output to find files longer than 250
characters, and mail it to myself. A little bit of vbscripting should
make this work to your purposes.

--Begin CMD script, which calls a VBScript--
@echo off
REM
REM Get the time and date
REM
for /F  %%i in ('date /t') do ( set _DateStart=%%i)
for /F %%i in ('time /t') do ( set _TimeStart=%%i)

REM
REM Begin the text of the email to be sent
REM
echo This job started at %_TimeStart% on %_DateStart% >

Offline Folders and GPO question

[Michael . Leone]

So we have these GPOs that enable Offline Folders, and we administratively 
set the location of where that points to. We also redirect "Desktop" and 
"My Documents". The location is supposed to be the same for the Offline 
Folders, as it is for the "My Documents".

Note "supposed to be". :-)

So The GPO is redirecting "My Documents" to NEWSERVER, but the Offline 
Folders setting is still OLDSERVER. What happens if I go and changed 
OLDSERVER to NEWSERVER?

When the people currently on log off, and they go to synchronize, will it 
go to OLDSERVER (which is the setting it had when they logged in this 
morning)? Or will it go to NEWSERVER (since the machine will check in with 
AD every .. 15 minutes? 2 hours? Whatever the setting is ...)

I guess what I am asking is, will the new setting take effect when the 
user logs off? Or will it take effect the *next* time they log in and out, 
the way a lot of GPOs do? (GPOs cache the settings at first login, then 
take effect at next login, right?)

Thanks, and sorry for the oddly worded question

Re: Windirstat

[Kurt Buff]

Ah.

Yes, diruse won't do much for that. However, I don't know what will,
either, except perhaps a good script of some sort.

Perhaps the output of 'dir /s /b' could be massaged - sorted according
to file type and then file sizes tallied/summed. That would be an
interesting project.

RE: OT: shared calendars

[Michael B. Smith]

In my most humble of opinions, if you need more than a couple of calendars
open at a time, then you need to be doing something else.

 

Outlook is not a calendar aggregator. SharePoint does a really good job of
that.

 

If someone believes that they have the need for lots of open calendars - I
point them at OWA and one calendar per tab in IE/FF. Much more positive
end-user experience.

RE: GPO reporting?

[Michael B. Smith]

Heck, I still do that. It's one of the ways I get up to speed on a new
version of the OS.

 

You learn more than googling.

LOL-On Win95, I remember taking a crash box and running every executable
file I could find to see what it did-couldn't just google them back then =)

DUDE!! Who knew? Thanks Bonnie & Michael! I need to get back in the habit of
browsing directory trees to see what's there - I used to do that when WfW
3.11 and Win9x came out just to see what was in there.

 

Thanks again!

Look in the \Scripts directory where you installed GPMC.

 

Lots of really cool stuff there.

Is there a way to get a report of GPO's and what OU(s) they are linked to? I
can get it one-by-one by using GPMC.if it just had one more column in the
"Group Policy Objects" view that listed the links..

 

Anyone? Bueller?

We have a TemPagR from Avtech that was fairly cheap ($275) and works well.
