How often do you change the configuration?

I would think backing them up after the change then storing the backup offsite.

 We had a weird issue where apparently a DC rolled back exactly one day in
 time (6:30PM Monday became 6:30PM Sunday). This wreaked havoc on policy
 issues. All I can see in the event logs is the change in policy where it
was
 denying log ins all of a sudden. The DC time was updated and we are back
on
 track but I can not see what would cause something like this. No one was
at
 the office in IT when this occurred. The only thing odd was an admin had
 left himself logged into the server at the end of the day. Has anyone
seen
 this before?

Non-admin notification shouldn't affect delayed update installation.  In fact, 
we like to keep that disabled as I've found that if a non-admin can see the 
notification, they can also hide the updates by unchecking the boxes next to 
them.

Can you list out which options you've set in the policy?  I *think* what you 
said is that you have Reschedule automatic updates... enabled, with a wait 
time of 1.  This works in conjunction with configure automatic updates 
enabled set to 4, with a scheduled installation time.

If that is all set correctly, confirm that the workstations are getting the 
policy applied successfully.  You might need to look at workstation event logs, 
and/or run GPResult.

We had a weird issue where apparently a DC rolled back exactly one day
in time (6:30PM Monday became 6:30PM Sunday). This wreaked havoc on
policy issues. All I can see in the event logs is the change in policy
where it was denying log ins all of a sudden. The DC time was updated
and we are back on track but I can not see what would cause something
like this. No one was at the office in IT when this occurred. The only

RE: DC changing time?

2008-10-16 Thread Webster
From: Free, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Subject: RE: DC changing time?

 

The time service on the DC wouldn't accept an offset that big.

 

I worked a call back in August where the point-to-point T3 went down for 8
hrs.  When the link came back 1 DC on each side of the link each changed
their dates from 08/11/08 to 01/02/09.  Then 45 minutes later reset back to
08/11/08.  On the west coast no one could then authenticate to the network.
On the east coast, where the PDCE resided, there were no issues.  Took
Microsoft support many hours to fix that network.

From: mqcarp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Subject: DC changing time?

 

We had a weird issue where apparently a DC rolled back exactly one day in
time (6:30PM Monday became 6:30PM Sunday). This wreaked havoc on policy
issues. All I can see in the event logs is the change in policy where it was
denying log ins all of a sudden. The DC time was updated and we are back on
track but I can not see what would cause something like this. No one was at
the office in IT when this occurred. The only thing odd was an admin had
left himself logged into the server at the end of the day. Has anyone seen
this before?

RE: Watchguard firewall question

2008-10-16 Thread Joe Heaton
Actually Jim, I'm kinda embarrassed now.  Turns out my unit doesn't have
the backup issue.  It just didn't like the 19 character encryption key
that I was using.  Backed it down to 8 characters, and everything went
smooth as buttah... I'm upgraded to 10.2.2 now, and have a good backup
of the flash image, and the config.

Is the unit currently on the same version it shipped with?  IE, when you
got it, did it come with version 9 installed or version 8?  If it's got
9 on it, and it came with 9, I'd say reset the unit to factory, reapply
the config and then try the update.  Otherwise, I say call your
Watchguard support (somebody with direct access to level 2 support and
skip the Level 1 support).

Is that a typo?  1%?If you meant progress bar goes to 100% then back
to 0%, then that's a known bug with pre 10.2.2 firmwares. 10.2.2 solves
the issue (or indeed 10.2.3 now).

 

If you haven't used them before, get on the Watchguard support forums.
There are a couple of guys on there that REALLY know the Watchguard

then the official Watchguard Tech Support.

starts VNC and the window to select the server appears, she selects the 
server and the selection window disappears but the password window never 
appears. I have to go over and locally access the server. I log the user 
account out and back in, the icon in the system tray turns from black to 
white and back on the system where the user tried to log in the password 
window (from the previous connection attempt) appears and the user can 
then connect.


Anyoe seen this before?

Hi Folks,
 
I'm slowing upgrading my Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2008, so I am using 
MAK volume licensing until I have enough servers for KMS licensing.  On the 
Volume Product keys page, I am supposed to check the MAK Key Activations option 
and press Request MAK key.  I do that and nothing happens.  I end up having to 
call Microsoft each time to get keys e-mailed to me.

Non-admin notification shouldn't affect delayed update installation.  In fact, 
we like to keep that disabled as I've found that if a non-admin can see the 
notification, they can also hide the updates by unchecking the boxes next to 
them.

Can you list out which options you've set in the policy?  I *think* what you 
said is that you have Reschedule automatic updates... enabled, with a wait 
time of 1.  This works in conjunction with configure automatic updates 
enabled set to 4, with a scheduled installation time.

If that is all set correctly, confirm that the workstations are getting the

Where do you see usage on the MS site (eOpen, VLMS, or other site?)

You use different MAK keys from each server? When I use MAK keys for Vista, or

Hi Folks,

I'm slowing upgrading my Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2008, so I am using 
MAK volume licensing until I have enough servers for KMS licensing.  On the 
Volume Product keys page, I am supposed to check the MAK Key Activations option 
and press Request MAK key.  I do that and nothing happens.  I end up having to 
call Microsoft each time to get keys e-mailed to me.

Is this normal or am I missing something?

Issues combining the usual email domain with POP

2008-10-16 Thread Jeff Gottlieb
Using Exchange 2003 we have combined the usual domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with 
POP. For e.g., we have some of the same users doing business overseas using a 
different domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) pointing to the same Exchange 
server.albeit the Outlook client is configured using POP...again alongside 
Exchange.  We now have an interesting phenomenon where the POP is downloading 
12,000+ messages in over 1.89GB, again and again.
The POP configuration is NOT set to Leave a copy of messages on the server
Does anyone know where these POP emails reside.that we might manually delete 
them? What are we painfully overlooking??  Cheers.  -Jeff

My point was that the time service wouldn't set the clock that far off
because of a bad source because it won't accept an offset that large.
Kind of like NTPd on a *NIX box will panic if you try to throw it an
offset 1000 sec.  You can certainly do it with the old date, time, or
net time.

The time service on the DC wouldn't accept an offset that big.

 

I worked a call back in August where the point-to-point T3 went down for
8 hrs.  When the link came back 1 DC on each side of the link each
changed their dates from 08/11/08 to 01/02/09.  Then 45 minutes later
reset back to 08/11/08.  On the west coast no one could then
authenticate to the network.  On the east coast, where the PDCE resided,
there were no issues.  Took Microsoft support many hours to fix that
network.

We had a weird issue where apparently a DC rolled back exactly one day
in time (6:30PM Monday became 6:30PM Sunday). This wreaked havoc on
policy issues. All I can see in the event logs is the change in policy
where it was denying log ins all of a sudden. The DC time was updated
and we are back on track but I can not see what would cause something
like this. No one was at the office in IT when this occurred. The only
thing odd was an admin had left himself logged into the server at the
end of the day. Has anyone seen this before?

have dealt with enough systems that if a reliable way could be found to boot

Yes, it was a very educational call.  Learned a lot about resetting secure
channels, resetting Kerberos tickets and klist.  One point was that the PDCE
saw the time difference was so large and killed the secure channel between
it and all other DCs to keep from getting itself hurt.  Once it did that,
the DCs on the left coast could no longer authenticate.  The right coast
users only had the PDCE DC to work with so they had no issues.
