Re: Virtual Nic's
To add to all the others if the server is a high profile, high usage machine then don't piggy back the NIC's. On the other hand low profile, low usage servers work well with piggy backed NIC's. You can try one high usage and one low usage servers sharing a NIC. I have tried a number of differnet things and depending on how much usage each gets really will decide if you can do piggy backing of servers. I can tell you that without a doubt don't try putting 5 servers on 2 NIC's. BTDTGTS and really regetted it.

Re: Hyper V vs VMWare ESXi
Greg, please look at the hardware requirements of Hyper-V their are things that may or may not cause you issues. One of which is you need the ability to do virtualization on the hardware it is not just drivers. I only wish it was. I have a Dell 2850 that will not support Hyper-V but will support ESXi and Virtual Server. At the moment it is a doing Virtual Server and I will admit that it is a bit of a hack but still ok for the limited about of work I expected of it. Hyper-V is much better and I am currently supporting 4 servers with 2 more in the wings waiting on the down time to move them over to our Dell 2900. Jon On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 5:54 PM, Greg Mulholland [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Firstly ESX and ESXi are two different beasts. ESX in any way shape or form is not free. ESXi by itself is however. Without any added features like Virtual Center etc etc Hyperv will run on just about any hardware as it uses the windows driver model where as ESXi will be a little more tricky, not buy much though, Carl was not quite right. ESXi will run fine on whiteboxes, or desktops. The only requirements that you will generally find is the scsi or sata controller is supported and the network card. I have successfully built a number using a $150 sata controller and Intel 1gb nic's. In fact my home AMD workstation is running ESXi right now. If you are looking at this from a licensing perspective (good luck) then you will need to evaluate whether buying a std, ent, dc version of Windows 2008 and the additional licenses to run Hyperv guests on that box will be something that floats your boat or not. You would also need to look at which version of hyperv you would use, full, server core or standalone. Pay some attention to how you will manage these virtual hosts too, hint# if you are planning server core or standalone then be prepared for some hoop jumping. I have used both and an unashamedly of the Vmware religion as is my job these days and so am a little biased. But I have had a fair play with Hyperv in all its forms and it still feels betaish to me. Some of the feature set outlined for the next version look great but that is 2 years away. If we compare these two versions only then I would say they both work but I like the Vmware VIClient interface and management much more than the Hyperv console. My advice, after all that would be to try them out. Presumably you are going to have to look after them and feel comfortable supporting them so I would start with building a box for yourself to test with and going through the normal procedures you would to get this into production. Then try the other type and you will get an idea of what suits your environment and your skillset. Greg *From:* Reimer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Thursday, November 13, 2008 4:21 AM *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? I might also look into Xen/Citrix free version, so if anybody has comments on that, please let me know. Thanks.

Errors I have never seen before!!
Have several XP boxes running scheduled jobs 24/7 have been stable for
years. We cannot figure out what has changed
Starts with a event view message like:
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for
network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {E34F4C11-E89C-4A88-9D4A-631EB25F56F4}
Host Name : NIN0036
Primary Domain Suffix : NINCAL.COM
DNS server list :
10.10.30.1, 10.10.30.22
Sent update to server : 10.1.1.1
IP Address(es) :
10.10.30.38
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS
server failed the update request. The most likely cause of this is that
the authoritative DNS server required to process this update request has
a lock in place on the zone, probably because a zone transfer is in
progress.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its
settings by typing ipconfig /registerdns at the command prompt. If
problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems
administrator.
Sometimes ipconfig /registerdns works or a release and renew --- more
often the machine reports it cannot do it (insufficient resources or
some such) and a reboot is required
Note I have not a clue as to where the 10.1.1.1 address is coming from L
Additionally if a job was active we get something like:
Windows cannot access the file \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe for one
of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network
connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers
installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the
program plbwin.exe because of this error.
Program: plbwin.exe
File: \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem
that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator
should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the
server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk
or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK,
click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command
prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not,
the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your
administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.
Additional Data
Error value: C09A
Disk type: 1
Thanks in advance for any clues

Whatever, though, should both domains have started off with a DNS A record pointing to each other's domains? You will need DNS working for both domains in both domains for AD to work properly. However, I believe just adding an A record will not do it. All the docs say AD uses SRV records to locate DCs, and I've never seen anything that leads me to think otherwise. Your best bet is to make sure each domain can fully resolve all DNS records in the other domain. If the domains share a common parent domain, that can be done by making sure delegations (NS records) exist for each subdomain, and that those NS records are returned in each domain. However, that won't work if the domains are private and don't share their DNS infrastructure. If that's the case, and you're running Windows 2003 for DNS, you can configure your DNS servers for each one to forward queries for the specific domains to the DNS servers for the other domain. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Re: Errors I have never seen before!!
I just went through this myelf.
Have you changed or altered DHCP server lately? In our case, this
went on for perhaps years with no one noticing, since the workstations
all function properly. You just can't see them using DNS.
See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787034.aspx
It is to early for me to state unequivocally that our problem is
cured, but it seems to be declining. One of the computers
experiencing these symptoms I fixed by deleting the PTR record
(there was no host record) then doing ipconfig /release, then
rebooting. ipconfig /registerdns had no effect -- other than to
occasionally grow a new crop of event as described.
OTOH, I have two W2K workstations that don't get A records in DNS.

Starts with a event view message like:
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for network
adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {E34F4C11-E89C-4A88-9D4A-631EB25F56F4}
Host Name : NIN0036
Primary Domain Suffix : NINCAL.COM

10.10.30.1, 10.10.30.22
Sent update to server : 10.1.1.1
IP Address(es) :
10.10.30.38
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS
server failed the update request. The most likely cause of this is that the
authoritative DNS server required to process this update request has a lock
in place on the zone, probably because a zone transfer is in progress.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its
settings by typing ipconfig /registerdns at the command prompt. If
problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems
administrator.
Sometimes ipconfig /registerdns works or a release and renew --- more often
the machine reports it cannot do it (insufficient resources or some such)
and a reboot is required
Note I have not a clue as to where the 10.1.1.1 address is coming from L
Additionally if a job was active we get something like:
Windows cannot access the file \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe for one of
the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the
disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this
computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program plbwin.exe
because of this error.
Program: plbwin.exe
File: \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that
corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should
verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can
be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or
CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click
Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type
CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the
disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or
computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Re: How to create a trust?
On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 9:31 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Again, I think some of the snags (in addition to that last line) are because, although NYC has 4 Win2003 DCs, their functional level still shows as Win2000. Our level is at Win2003 which NYC must change. I've never tried it, but I'm not so sure functional levels need to match between domains for external trusts between AD domains. I say that mainly because I *have* created trusts between an AD domain and an NTLM domain, which are *very* different beats, and that certainly worked fine. I wouldn't expect the trust mechanism to allow that, but then be pickier about AD-AD trusts. Then again, I've seen stupider limitations. As to proper AD functionality w/SRV, DNS, etc, well, we gotta get the trust set up first. That may not be possible. I think you need to have DNS working properly in order to establish the trust. AD uses DNS to find DCs. Without proper DNS, the one domain's DCs will not be able to find the other domain's DCs. If the DCs cannot talk, the trust isn't going to be very useful, even if you manage to create it. I'm checking my usual sources (Minasi, Lowe-Norris, Crawford, Google), and I can't find anything that says AD trusts definitely will not work without proper DNS. But do find lots of recommendations to have DNS working properly. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

My old Cisco 4006 is nearing end of life where Cisco won't even support it. So, I need to put it in a budget request for a replacement core switch. I've already researched possible Cisco replacements but I wanted to ask the group for their opinions regarding other company's products such as Foundry. 95% of all network traffic passes through this switch which is a layer 3, btw. 48 gig ports, 6 or so gbics and the balance will be 100 meg.

RE: Network core switch
Well... I'm biased to Cisco, but I do believe some of the Extreme Networks and Foundry (maybe even HP) boxes beat Cisco's high end core switches hands down. That being said, I believe this was based purely on L2 switching speed/capacity. Sounds like you need a box that not only switches at L2 quickly, but also routes/switches L3 traffic quickly as well. Just keep that in mind when comparing switches of this nature - a lot of manufacturers will say that they switch faster than Cisco's offering what they don't tell you is that this is pure L2 traffic only. No filtering, no Inter-VLAN routing, no Shaping/QoS, etc. When you couple in all of those advanced features, I think you'll find that a lot of vendors are equally powerful in their own right. The trick is finding the best mix of power for your environment and sticking with a good vendor. The rest is personal preference :-) BTW - have you considered Cisco's 3750E line?

SharePoint Server
I am gearing up to deploy SharePoint Server 2007. The main goal is to help eliminate Outlook as a file transport, but eliminate the 100's of file shares we have. But I also know there is much more to the product. I would appreciate replies from those that have deployed SharePoint or have SharePoint experience on what your deployment experience was and what you would or wouldn't do again. Also, anyone have SharePoint running in a VM? As I type this, I am loading up a test server to experience the install process and do some testing. Thanks for any info.

RE: SharePoint Server
Bob, We have Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (MOSS) running for internal collaboration and workflow and we also have a Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 install for external/internal file transfer and sharing. The WSS install is on an ESX VM with 1 gig of ram and an internal DB. Performance wise, the VM functions just fine for the small amount of traffic it gets, and I imagine if you are focusing on file transfer, you wont get hit very hard. I would be curious to see how large of files you want to send. Remember that file size for upload/download is not only a matter of telling Sharepoint max size, but falling within acceptable IIS timeout timeframes (we are still fiddling on this, over a couple 100 mbs is still an issue). As for complexity, I would encourage you to make it as simple as possible. If you have external users, follow the instructions online for setting up forms based auth and secure over ssl. I created the WSS site and deleted everything but the home splash page and a couple of document libraries, so it really isn't Sharepoint, its solely a storage portal. Good luck, if you have previous Sharepoint experience, you should find the newer products to be much easier to manage. -Troy -Original Message- From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 11:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SharePoint Server I am gearing up to deploy SharePoint Server 2007.

Re: SharePoint Server
I have been running WSS3 in a VMware server VM for almost two years. 1GB RAM, 1 CPU. About 5 heavy users, 15 medium users, and 30 light users. MSDE back end, one content db that is over 40GB. No serious complaints about performance. I'm in the planning phase of upgrading to MOSS'07 with a SQL back end. All as VMs on ESX. The default file size limit is 50MB, and MS recommends not changing. This can be a limiting factor for some files. Recommend that content DBs not be more than 15G to get acceptable restore times. Get the administrators guide and read the chapter on search a couple of times. If you have to reindex your search it can overload your system, CPU and storage. There are ~6 things that kick off a reindex...know what they are. Search is off by default because of the gotchas. Make sure you have everything configured like you want it before turning it on (info from the MOSS class I took earlier this year) Robert On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 2:16 PM, Bob Fronk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am gearing up to deploy SharePoint Server 2007.

RE: How to create a trust?
Creating trusts is generally also dependent on short-name(NetBios) resolution as well as the other obvious requirements. Often after people have fought creating a trust for some time and employ LMHOST files (or WINS) it magically works... NetBios is not as dead as some would have you think. There are several MSKB articles about trust creation failing in the absense of shortname resolution.

Our level is at Win2003 which NYC must change. I've never tried it, but I'm not so sure functional levels need to match between domains for external trusts between AD domains. I say that mainly because I *have* created trusts between an AD domain and an NTLM domain, which are *very* different beats, and that certainly worked fine. I wouldn't expect the trust mechanism to allow that, but then be pickier about AD-AD trusts. Then again, I've seen stupider limitations. As to proper AD functionality w/SRV, DNS, etc, well, we gotta get the trust set up first. That may not be possible. I think you need to have DNS working properly in order to establish the trust. AD uses DNS to find DCs. Without proper DNS, the one domain's DCs will not be able to find the other domain's DCs. If the DCs cannot talk, the trust isn't going to be very useful, even if you manage to create it. I'm checking my usual sources (Minasi, Lowe-Norris, Crawford, Google), and I can't find anything that says AD trusts definitely will not work without proper DNS. But do find lots of recommendations to have DNS working properly. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Cisco ASA Assistance
Anyone out there familiar with the Cisco ASA GUI? I need my network department configure the HTTPS timeout for 15 minutes based on Microsoft recommendations for Exchange ActiveSync. The only guy available in our network department isn't familiar with the ASA.

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? I might also look into Xen/Citrix free version, so if anybody has comments on that, please let me know. Thanks.

2003 TS msiexec keeps running
I have a 2003 TS that's managed by a junior admin, he tried installing some software and now it looks like hp keeps running some msiexec install for every user @ login, it fails in the event log. Its not listed in add/remove and nothing can be installed/uninstalled because I get a message that an install is in process and I have to complete it first. Im thinking I will make everyone an admin just to get around whatever it is and then try to uninstall, or maybe rip something out of the registry. Anyone have an easier/quicker fix?
