RE: Backup Exec Renewal
I called my rep at Zones (Dallas Burnworth, for those looking for a well knowledged and technically adept sales rep) and asked him about DPM. He said it was relativly new, I guess MS recently bought it? He said that they have a very close setup for licensing as Symantec. My Symantec BE is up for renewal 30 days. Here's a couple questions for those with DPM... 1. MS states that min. required core server platform be Win2k3. Will it install run on Win2k? - I currently have my BE installed on a Win2k box that has 2 auto-loaders and an MD1000 with a boatload of storage. Our weekly backup of the fileserver alone comes in at 2TB. I really don't want to have another server doing the backup over the network, that will kill my current 10 hour run. 2. Any compatibility with my BE archived tapes??

Catch 22, Hyper-V and SBS 2008
We were planning on starting our migration to SBS 2008 today on to our new Hyper-V based setup. We've moved our aging VMware setup to Hyper-V recently, and are now looking at replacing the old SBS 2003 box here with a new SBS 2008 virtual box. However one thing slipped passed us. The answer file for SBS2008 is required to be on a USB stick/drive, but Hyper-V doesn't support host USB devices it would appear (something I Have to admit I wasn't aware of). Is there a work around for this? The only thing I can think of is to create an ISO with the answer file on, which is fine, but I was hoping that there would be a 'proper' way of accessing the USB ports from a virtual box.

Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi
Hi folks, I know this has been discussed earlier, but it has been a few months, and (iirc) VMWare ESXi has come out since then. Also I think/hope some of the experts here have had a chance to try Hyper-V and/or ESXi a bit more, and might have more comments. I am under financial restraints, and thus the full ESX version, or other paid products, will not be viable for me. At this point, I'm looking at virtualizing a few web servers, using MS Server 2003. These are front end machines that hook to a back end SQL servers. A couple of these web servers get very little traffic, and some will have more. I'll look into Enterprise and DataCenter versions because of the multiple copies on a virtual server that are allowed. I'm planning on using the local server for disk storage, no NAS/SAN involved. I do have the hardware that can run the virtual software necessary (maybe need some more RAM). My question. Preference? Also any new links that might compare the two? I might also look into Xen/Citrix free version, so if anybody has comments on that, please let me know. Thanks.

Given good technique and proper environment, it should scale better than linearly, given the same set of technologies.

Re: Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi
I believe Dallas is referring to the number of licenses you get with Windows server not what the OP was asking but worth noting. Hyper-V is only available if using Windows 2008 unless you are talking about the downloadable version but you still have to have the proper hardware to run either ESXi or Hyper-V. Either of the free versions still require you to purchase the number of licenses of the OS's you plan on deploying. The paid versions of Windows 2008 come as Dallas point out with additional licenses. I have not tried either of the free ones so I have no idea of how well they work. I am running a Windows 2008 Enterprise with at the moment 5 servers live on the machine using a mixture of 2003 and 2008 servers. All are well behaved and all have had the host OS shut them down for reboots after patching without user/admin intervention.

RE: Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi
The basic differences between the two free products - Hyper-V Server 2008 (hereafter HVS08) vs. ESXi , are: ESXi has specific requirements on server and storage hardware. Those requirements are far more restrictive than HVS08 - for example you won't be able to run ESXi on a white box or desktop. HVS08 will run on any hardware with driver support for Windows 2008. HVS08 requires 64-bit and Intel-VT or AMD-V CPU support. ESXi can run on older server platforms that predate those features. ESXi allows over-subscription of memory. That means you could run two VMs allocated 4 GB each on a machine with less than 8 GB. HVS08 has almost as much RAM overhead as running it under Windows Server 2008 Core - so you would need about 9 GB to run two 4GB VMs. Carl From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi Hi folks, I know this has been discussed earlier, but it has been a few months, and (iirc) VMWare ESXi has come out since then.

VMWare, fencing, and SID's, oh my!
The context is VMWare and systems in a Lab Manager fenced environment... What is the danger of having multiple (cloned) systems on a domain w/out them having a unique SID? Will DC's eventually get bogged down with processing or anything? The NewSID page states Duplicate SIDs aren't an issue in a Domain-based environment since domain accounts have SID's based on the Domain SID. I have a development environment where users can check out VM'd servers..the problem is while the IP's are unique, the SID's will be the same. What happens if I have 5 systems on the domain with the same SID? The 5 machines do not need to talk to each other.

Re: WiFi phones
Avoid UT Starcom like the plague. I've had bad experience with them. You can find a list of them here (scroll down to where it says WiFi Phones): http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Phones Pay very, very close attention to the reviews on sites like NewEgg, http://www.voip-info.org/, and http://voipsupply.com. If they're cheap it's for a *very* good reason, and remember that you get what you pay for! It seems like most of the good ones are $300 US or more. For some reason it's easier to get a decent SIP desk phone for under $100 US (Polycom IP320) than it is a decent 802.11b/g SIP phone.

RE: How to track static DNS records
I don't think there is an easy way, the best you could do is to see which
machines were not responding to pings. I would probably pipe all DNS entries
for that domain to a file
Dnscmd servername /zoneprint olddomain.com bigtextfile.txt
Then script the pinging of all A and CNAME records, probably using powershell
and the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping object. I am lazy and would clean up
that file manually in excel and create a csv file with all my cname and a
records. Then run this powershell script.
$inputlist = get-content file.csv
$ping = new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
Foreach ($thing in $inputlist){
$reply = $ping.send($thing)
If ($reply.status -eq Success){}
Else { echo $thing outputfile.txt }
}
Untested and your warranty just expired. Good luck.

Quick Cisco test network question..
We are setting up a test network between 2 buildings. We have 2 strands of fiber that go from the one building into our data center. It is going to be a closed network with no internet access , so it will be isolated from our production environment. I have a cisco 3550 that will be the core and on the other end we have a cisco 2950. it will be a windows 2008 test environment too, but we have to get the infrastructure in place first. We are going to set routing up on the 3550 (4 different vlans) and will have some servers and some clients on this switch. There will be no gateway out to the internet, totally closed network. I know you have to turn on IP Routing and set a default route, but where do I set up the routable network interface? As a vlan? For instance: Switch(config)# int vlan 100 Description routable network Ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Then route ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 Is this right?

Another Blackberry Question
I've been googling and browsing the BB site and forums, but seem to be getting conflicting information. Is there a way to force any SD card to be fully encrypted? In other words, I want the card to only be readable while in the assigned device. I don't want them to be able to take the card out and use a reader on the computer. I don't mind if they connect the USB cable and use mass storage mode - as long as any and all files on the card are encrypted.

How to create a trust?
Greetings! There exists a dedicated T1 between my network and company HQ in NYC. We really should have created a trust long ago, but... Anyway, a domain admin from NYC is here and logged into an NYC DC. We're unable to create a trust. The on-line instructions (such as menus, what tabs to see, etc) do not seem to apply. FWIW, we are at functional level Win2003 native; they are at Win2000 native. ANYWAY, the help file says to select External Trust for trust type. We seem to have no such option - only Realm trust or Trust with a Windows domain. Neither works. What do we seem to be missing?

Re: VMWare, fencing, and SID's, oh my!
I saw a demo for this product a week ago, and the sales guy, fwiw, said to include a DC in the fenced area, with network rules on the router so the dc could only communicate with the fenced vm's. Sure looks like a slick product. Klint David Lum wrote: The context is VMWare and systems in a Lab Manager fenced environment... What is the danger of having multiple (cloned) systems on a domain w/out them having a unique SID? Will DC's eventually get bogged down with processing or anything? The NewSID page states Duplicate SIDs aren't an issue in a Domain-based environment since domain accounts have SID's based on the Domain SID. I have a development environment where users can check out VM'd servers..the problem is while the IP's are unique, the SID's will be the same. What happens if I have 5 systems on the domain with the same SID?

ARLINGTON CEMETERY - Jeopardy Question
On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was: 'How many steps does
the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns -- All three
missed it --
This is really an awesome sight to watch if you've never had the chance.
Very fascinating.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the
Unknowns and why?
21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is
the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face begin his return walk
why?
21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1
3. Why are his gloves wet?
His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.
4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time
and, if not, why not?
He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march
across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the
outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed?
Guards are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?
For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be
between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.
They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under
the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their
lives. They cannot swear in public for the
rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way.
After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on
their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only
400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their
lives or give up the wreath pin.
The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold
from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the
shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.
There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty
in front of a full-length mirror.
The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone nor
watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to
rest in Arlington National Cemetery . A guard must memorize who they are
and where they are interred. Among the notables are:
President Taft,
Joe Lewis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, the most
decorated soldier of WWII of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for
guard duty.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our
US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the
hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They
respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin,
marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be
afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously,
24/7, since 1930.
God Bless and keep them.

RE: Quick Cisco test network question..
Thanks Aaron, You totally cleared it up. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks again... From: Aaron T. Rohyans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 3:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Quick Cisco test network question.. Not a dumb question at all. Yes you *would* need something in the interface to make the port live and establish it as a connected interface in the switch's routing table. L2 ports configured as L3 Routed interfaces are nice when you only have 1 subnet and aren't trunking any VLANs - in other words, you'd have to setup separate ports for each subnet you have. Essentially, imagine this scenario as having an actual router (not a switch) with 24 independent interfaces that are *routed* (NOT switched) at L3. This is not to say, however, that you can't have both routed interfaces and SVIs (VLAN Interfaces) running parallel - with multiple hosts (in multiple VLANs) communicating with the SVI through L2 ports. In your situation - I'd go w/ the VLAN interfaces as you're probably trunking more than 1 VLAN across that fiber and will want multiple L2 ports on the 3550 and 2950 to have connectivity to the gateway address. I probably shouldn't have mentioned option 1 as it doesn't necessarily fit your scenario.

We are setting up a test network between 2 buildings. We have 2 strands of fiber that go from the one building into our data center. It is going to be a closed network with no internet access , so it will be isolated from our production environment. I have a cisco 3550 that will be the core and on the other end we have a cisco 2950. it will be a windows 2008 test environment too, but we have to get the infrastructure in place first. We are going to set routing up on the 3550 (4 different vlans) and will have some servers and some clients on this switch. There will be no gateway out to the internet, totally closed network. I know you have to turn on IP Routing and set a default route, but where do I set up the routable network interface? As a vlan? For instance: Switch(config)# int vlan 100 Description routable network Ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Then route ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 Is this right?

Virtual Nic's
What is the list's opinion on using network connections in virtual machines? Do you put a separate NIC for each virtual machine or do you piggy back on the internal NIC(s)? I bought a quad NIC for my Hyper V and just split off one for each machine.

RE: Altirs Client Management Suite
You should definitely add ConfigMgr 2007 to your short list. Much cheaper than Altiris. Altiris may seem inexpensive to start out, but just like LANDesk and others, it gets pretty expensive the more you add to the product. ConfigMgr 2007 has it all built in (i.e., you don't have to purchase more add-ons to make it work). ConfigMgr 2007 also deploys non-MS patches and you can deploy anything else you want, too. Plus, there's a huge ConfigMgr 2007 community over at myITforum.com that can help you 24x7. Those other products don't have that. Altiris will tell you that they have their Juice community - but it's not as active and the Altiris folks don't monitor it.

In your situation - I'd go w/ the VLAN interfaces as you're probably trunking more than 1 VLAN across that fiber and will want multiple L2 ports on the 3550 and 2950 to have connectivity to the gateway address. I probably shouldn't have mentioned option 1 as it doesn't necessarily fit your scenario.

We are setting up a test network between 2 buildings. We have 2 strands of fiber that go from the one building into our data center. It is going to be a closed network with no internet access , so it will be isolated from our production environment. I have a cisco 3550 that will be the core and on the other end we have a cisco 2950. it will be a windows 2008 test environment too, but we have to get the infrastructure in place first. We are going to set routing up on the 3550 (4 different vlans) and will have some servers and some clients on this switch. There will be no gateway out to the internet, totally closed network. I know you have to turn on IP Routing and set a default route, but where do I set up the routable network interface? As a vlan? For instance: Switch(config)# int vlan 100 Description routable network Ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Then route ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 Is this right?

Those requirements are far more restrictive than HVS08 - for example you won't be able to run ESXi on a white box or desktop. HVS08 will run on any hardware with driver support for Windows 2008. HVS08 requires 64-bit and Intel-VT or AMD-V CPU support. ESXi can run on older server platforms that predate those features. ESXi allows over-subscription of memory. That means you could run two VMs allocated 4 GB each on a machine with less than 8 GB. HVS08 has almost as much RAM overhead as running it under Windows Server 2008 Core - so you would need about 9 GB to run two 4GB VMs. Carl From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi Hi folks, I know this has been discussed earlier, but it has been a few months, and (iirc) VMWare ESXi has come out since then. Also I think/hope some of the experts here have had a chance to try Hyper-V and/or ESXi a bit more, and might have more comments. I am under financial restraints, and thus the full ESX version, or other paid products, will not be viable for me. At this point, I'm looking at virtualizing a few web servers, using MS Server 2003. These are front end machines that hook to a back end SQL servers. A couple of these web servers get very little traffic, and some will have more. I'll look into Enterprise and DataCenter versions because of the multiple copies on a virtual server that are allowed. I'm planning on using the local server for disk storage, no NAS/SAN involved. I do have the hardware that can run the virtual software necessary (maybe need some more RAM). My question. Preference? Also any new links that might compare the two?
