VMWARE to Hyper-V and HAL types
Hi chaps, I'm looking at moving our VMWare based VMs to our new Hyper-V based servers. New VMs are working a treat, and certainly Hyper-V seems far more responsive than our VMWare based setup. However existing VMWare based VMs are proving an issue. While the VM's have been imported to Hyper-V without any problems it would appear that the HAL of the VMWare VMs have all been set to 'Standard PC' at some point during the installation of the guest OS (all Windows 2003). In order to install the Hyper-V tools we need to be running a ACPI based HAL. My question is this; is there a way in Windows 2003 to move from a Standard PC based HAL to an ACPI based HAL ? I know that MS don't support it (at least from what i can see on the web), but is there a way to hack a solution to it ? The only option we have at the moment is to re-install the guest OS's but that would mean a lot of work and possibly re-config of the apps running on them.

Folder level quota in FSRM R2 is based on Ownership correct? I am reading up on the drafting of the policy right now, and going to work out the how particulars as soon as I get some budget approval.

In other words, if they want to actively use it they have to copy it off to somewhere else (c drive, thumbdrive, etc). This gets annoying after a while. We also use FSRM in R2 for folder-level quotas. Also, make sure to figure out how you will document the quotas and the exceptions. At times you might find yourself needing to restore/migrate the settings, and rebuilding it from memory is not good =) From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 12:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Question Disk Usage Policiies Lookign for comments Simplistic approach, I like, but the deny all and allow only what needed approach in a hospital setting probably isn't going to work the best. I know what the big space abusers are, I could use file-screening in Win2k3 to block certain types, but its easy to get around that with just renaming the extension and I am sure some savvy user is going to do it and bypass the controls.

Re: Acronis tech support?
Unless I missed something, Ultrabac is strictly for a business environment. I'm looking for a solution for my home PC. It's too bad to hear my experience isn't unusual. I was really hoping to hear otherwise. Steve - Original Message - From: Neil Standley To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 2:37 AM Subject: RE: Acronis tech support? I was using demo version as well but working with a sales manager which got me in direct contact with an engineer. It hasn't made a difference though because the issue is ongoing. If you're still evaluating take a look at Ultrabac.com. We're going forward with them over Acronis because it worked the first time, they're local to us (Bellevue, WA) and support speaks English! Our quote from both vendors put Ultrabac slightly lower than Acronis for the same functionality. I probably don't need to tell you this but if you're looking to purchase before the end of year they have special pricing. The Acronis forums are filled with complaints just like yours, this was another big reason we decided to go with Ultrabac.

A month ago, based on recommendations here, I downloaded the Acronis evaluation. I quickly found an apparent program bug when backing up to DVDs. The system created files named MyBackup1.tib, MyBackup2.tib, etc. but after creating them it tried to open MyBackup.tib. I used the chat to report the problem, and also opened a ticket. A week ago, having heard nothing, I opened another ticket. Still no response. In the meantime I bought an external hard drive to use for backups, but of course the 15-day evaluation period was over by then. How long does it usually take them to respond? I have to say I'm not impressed. Steve ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: Question Disk Usage Policiies Lookign for comments
No, it doesn't matter who puts the files there nor who owns them--you can't even go over the allotted amount with an administrator account-you would have to bump up the storage amount. Old-style volume level quotas do rely on ownership, and with third party software you would have to look-it varies from vendor to vendor. Something else, in terms of wording. We like to call our quotas a storage allotment or Allowed Space when talking to end users. Seems a little thing, but people like to hear that they are allowed and given space rather than restricted from it-goes over a lot better =) One other caveat I would just mention is that if you are already using File-level AV software and VSS snapshots (via MS tools), and you are NOT already running on an x64 WS03 Server system, watch your kernel memory usage with adding quota. Over the many years of using first third-party and then Microsoft's FSRM quota, we have found it is a lot to load into kernel memory and you can easily run out of resources when serving up a lot of file shares. If you start to have trouble, start with following this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312362 If changing the above settings is not enough over time, you will have to think about going x64. We had a server that last year had major kernel memory issues due to this and after much research and monitoring, we decided to reinstall over the summer as x64.

RE: VMWARE to Hyper-V and HAL types
We've done fairly extensive testing of Exchange, SQL Server and MS CRM on Hyper-V. This is with Netapp SANs and Sun's X4600 (8 dual core CPUs, 96 GB of RAM), X6250 and X6220 boxes. For Exchange, we simulated 10k, 20k and 50k mailbox configurations (with up to 1TB of storage) using Jetstress and IOMeter. For CRM we tested a 3 tier configuration with 6000 users etc. This took about 3-4 months of testing to produce. I believe we have a whitepaper coming out soon (if not already) - I'll have a look for it when I get back from holidays. The difference between native hardware and Hyper-V can be only 10-20% or so. ESX isn't going to give you noticeably better raw performance. Where ESX has the advantage is the extra functionality (like VMotion).

New VMs are working a treat, and certainly Hyper-V seems far more responsive than our VMWare based setup. However existing VMWare based VMs are proving an issue.

RE: Acronis tech support?
We haven't spoken with them (Ultrabac) much on the home user market but I know their product will work on workstations as well. It may be a higher price point than Acronis but I would think a quick phone call to them for your specific questions would be worth it. I worked with Ultrabac for a couple hours before getting my first successful restore, with Acronis it was about a week. On the Acronis side, we were using True Image Echo Enterprise server, with Universal Restore. What I found was that backing up a system to an archive and then booting from the recovery disk and choosing the Server option which allows you to pull down an image from another source caused us to encounter corrupt archive errors. However when selecting the agent option from the boot disk I was able to push an archive from the management console to the remote machine and successfully recover from that same image. We also had issues accessing the backup archive when it was located in a share on our DC, we could authenticate but it wouldn't allow us access to the file. When I moved the file to a share on a member server I was able to see it and recover from it. In my opinion neither of these is a show stopper but when compared to the fact that Ultrabac worked as advertised without hassle, they come out as the winner for us, hands down. What specifically are your issues and which product are you using? I am still going to eval the Acronis home product because one of my customers is interested in it, it would be nice to know what to expect.

Re: Can a NetApp CIF participate in a Dfs replication topo?
It depends on the replication mechanism. NTFRS and DFS-R obviously won't work with non-MS CIFS hosts. You can add additional targets to each DFS link without enabling replication and performing manual sync, using something like robocopy to get files from the master to the slave.

Over the many years of using first third-party and then Microsoft's FSRM quota, we have found it is a lot to load into kernel memory and you can easily run out of resources when serving up a lot of file shares.

Re: Acronis tech support?
Hi Neil, I was testing Acronis True Image Home 2009, and I have three issues: 1) A bug when backing up to DVDs that makes this function unusable (it fails 100% of the time) 2) That bug should have been caught in the most elementary regression testing. Since this went into a production release, that makes me extremely suspicious of the quality of their testing generally. I need confidence in my backup program, and this doesn't inspire it. 3) The complete lack of response to the bug reports submitted to their customer service. Messages I saw in their support forum say this is normal. Apparently the only support available is through their chat line. Yesterday I waited for 45 minutes before giving up. Somehow I don't expect to get experienced techs there, based on the other experiences.

We haven't spoken with them (Ultrabac) much on the home user market but I know their product will work on workstations as well. It may be a higher price point than Acronis but I would think a quick phone call to them for your specific questions would be worth it. I worked with Ultrabac for a couple hours before getting my first successful restore, with Acronis it was about a week. On the Acronis side, we were using True Image Echo Enterprise server, with Universal Restore. What I found was that backing up a system to an archive and then booting from the recovery disk and choosing the Server option which allows you to pull down an image from another source caused us to encounter corrupt archive errors. However when selecting the agent option from the boot disk I was able to push an archive from the management console to the remote machine and successfully recover from that same image. We also had issues accessing the backup archive when it was located in a share on our DC, we could authenticate but it wouldn't allow us access to the file. When I moved the file to a share on a member server I was able to see it and recover from it. In my opinion neither of these is a show stopper but when compared to the fact that Ultrabac worked as advertised without hassle, they come out as the winner for us, hands down. What specifically are your issues and which product are you using?

The cert installs and shows as installed under personals certs, but, once IE is closed and reopened, it's gone. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Cisco ASDM Java 11
You are just full of good news! ; Ah well I could have patched my machine and found out after the fact and been real happy. Thanks Roger for the heads up. Looks like I don't update my Java until I can get the office to pay for a SmartNet contract on the beast. The fun just never ends does it?

RE: BB Storm management
Device OS 4.5 is supported in BES 4.1.5 (4.1 SP5) Don't remember about the policy question. I concur with Martin that 4.1.6 is worth the time and trouble.

RE: DL360 G5's and P400 controller
You can build a customized DL360 with the P800 - all it needs is a x8 PCIe Full height slot. I'm not running a P800 in a DL360 currently, only dual P800's in my DL380G5 E2k7 Mailbox servers. But you should have no problem getting a P800 into a DL360G5. I use the Product Bulletin to build my servers and just product the output to our HP rep for quoting/ordering. Download it and give it a try, will provide answers to your configuration questions. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/productbulletin.html#intro - John Barsodi From: Joseph L.

RE: Personal SSL Cert disappearing
Is the cert a client authentication cert? Or a server authentication cert? If the latter, then it shouldn't be installed in Personal Certs Instead, the CA's cert (that issued the server auth cert) should be installed in Trusted Root CAs. If it's a client authN cert, use MMC (add the Certificates snapin) - does the cert disappear by itself?

RE: BB Storm management
It should be mentioned that BPS or Blackberry Professional does not support html and is only on the Sp4 revision currently. The Curves and the Storms work fine, they just don't have the advanced functionality like HTML and making modifications to advanced policies settings not available in the Sp4 versions.
