Disabling folder redirection on one machine
Hi chaps, Whats the best (read proper) way to disable folder redirection for any user on one machine? We have a 2008/vista based network and we use folder redirection to keep the data on the servers. All good. However we have some new laptops which will go out in the field and it's been decided that the users will need to be able to log on to the laptops as themselves (rather than using a dedicated local account on the laptop). However this in turn goes against the data policy which precludes laptops from having copies of users profiles or company data on them (everything is to be access via SSL web app). Is the best way to just add the computer name to the permissions of the folder redirection GPO and then set that permission to denied ?

SBS 2003 Setup Hanging - any thoughts on this one?
Highpoint Technologies Tech Support doesn't open for another 3 hours - so i'm hoping someone on this list might have a suggestion on how to resolve a problem. I installed a RocketRAID 1640 controller into a Dell PowerEdge 840 Server to replace the RAID controller that shipped with the PowerEdge. The RocketRAID is now the only RAID controller in the server. I'm attempting to install Windows Small Business Server 2003. The RocketRAID built my RAID5 array successfully, I press F6 during the OS boot install process and I select the Windows 2003 Driver that I downloaded this morning from Highpoint (v 2.06s). The Windows OS recognizes the driver, allows me to format the array into the partition scheme I want, then the OS copies a few more files from the OS install CD before prompting me with the message: Insert the disk labeled: RocketRAID 154x/1640 Controller Driver Diskette into drive a: Press ENTER when ready. F3=Quit ENTER=Continue I already have the driver diskette loaded into the floppy drive, and pressing ENTER does nothing. The disk drive light does not even light up. Pressing F3 does allow the OS install the quite but I can not get Windows setup to continue. I flashed the BIOS on the RAID controller card when I realized it was older, and so after flashing the BIOS of the RocketRAID to version 2.06s and retrying the OS install, I'm halted at the same point. Why is the OS prompting for the drivers a second time and preventing the successful installation? I have reformatted the floppy drive used to store the drivers for the OS install, I have re-dowloaded the setup files thinking maybe the file was corrupted - no change. I'm at a loss for why this is hanging. Thoughts? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

I ran into a *VERY* similar issue (exact same symptoms) when installing 2003 x64 on an IBM x460. In this case it turned out to be a driver issue and I needed to get a driver one version older than current (and oddly, it came in a folder named \AMD although the proc was Intel). Oh yeah, the other part of my issue was the server had no built-in FDD and the USB floppy had to be Lenovo-brand (anyone remember when PS/2 formatted floppies only worked in PS/2 PC's?).

NFS case sensitive files in Linux and Windows
Dear all, We have a NFS filesystem imported from a Windows machine and a Linux machine. If we create a text file called test.txt from Linux with content 1 and then create afterwards a file called TEST.txt from Linux with content 2, if you try to open any of those files from the Windows machine, it will show both of them with content 1. If I try to open TEST.txt from the linux box, it reports that this file doesn't exist, although I can see from the Windows box. This come from a test trying to perform a Netbackup restore of NFS filesystems in a Linux box. The restore is not case sensitive so any file that is lower case or upper case is restored as one single file. The reason why we are using Linux to perform the restore is because our Netbackup server is Linux and would require to perform restores from client machines the requirement of performing netbackup restores from Windows machines. I hope I have explained myself well Thanks, Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Odd directory issue
Good morning, I am still working to rid myself of a couple of NT servers in our environment, and I'm running into an odd issue. I need to move data from the NT server to my 2003 server. From 2003, I am mapping a drive to a share on the NT box. Some of the directories are displayed blue. I think this has to do with them being compressed by NT. Is this correct? When I browse the blue directories from 2003, they appear empty. If I check properties, I see file counts and size summaries. If I look at the directory from NT, I see the files.

Blackberry Storm Upgrade
I've got a client that uses the Blackberry Professional Software 4.1.4.2 on a Windows 2003 SBS to connect his 8830 to the Exchange. He is the only user on the server. He's getting ready to upgrade to a Storm. Depending on what I read, where, it will work with the latest firmware on the Storm, but he'll lose HTML email, something I don't think he knew he was getting. Normally, when a client gets a new Blackberry and wants to get it setup on his server, I just delete him as a user and re-add him then provision the Blackberry as if it's the first time the user been connected. I'm wondering if that's the best course of action here or if I should do something different. Anything anyone could add would be helpful. I was not the person who setup the BPS. The technician who set it up put the software on the wrong server (Despite my explicit instructions) and caused a real mess when it was added.

Re: issue with accessing \\servername
Ok, a couple updates I found out the following. Servers in Site-A cannot be accessed at Site-B via \\servername, UNLESS the server in Site-A has a route added to it (persistent route or automatically added) for the network at Site-B. Site-A is a 10.x.x.x., Site-B is a 192.168.x.x Devices in Site-A have a gateway of 10.0.0.1. The 10.0.0.1 device (which is an ISA firewall) has a persistent route added for 192.168.x.x that points to the 10.0.0.254 site-to-site vpn router. I tested this repeatedly, and as long as a server in Site-A has a persistent route added, *OR* as long as the server in Site-A has at LEAST tried to either PING a device on the 192.168.x.x network or tried to access a device on the 192.168.x.x. network via SMB (shares, for instance) then the proper route statement automatically gets added to that servers routing table. So in other words, even if it doesn't HAVE a persisntent route to 192.168.x.x via 10.0.0.254, it CAN get one by pinging or accessing a server share in the 192.168.x.x. network and KEEPS that route until the server is rebooted, loses network connection, or the route expires. So... this makes me wonder. If Server-5 does NOT have a persistent route to 192.168.x.x at Site-B, and instead goes through it's normal gateway 10.0.0.1, a server in Site-B, CAN still ping Server-5. Yet, cannot access the \\servername share, UNLESS Server-5 either a) first pings something in Site-B, b) accesses a server share in Site-B, or c) has a persistent route added for Site-B, or d) has the default gw changed from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254. It almost seems like the 10.0.0.1 router is NOT doing it's job, but in a way, it seems to be, since pinging works between the sites. I will call Vigor tech (vpn routers between the 2 sites) and see what they say. I did some ping tests also, and found that trying to ping with packets larger than 3 over the VPN fail everytime. 29000 they work fine... 29500 they fail 50% of the time. Not sure what that tells me though... I'm considering just changing things arounds so that the default gw at site-A is 10.0.0.254 instead of 10.0.0.1... and changing the route statements on the vigor site-to-site vpn route to forward all 192.168.x.x traffic over the vpn, an the rest of it to 10.0.0.1 (the isa firewall). I'm thinking that SHOULD fix the issue. On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 4:12 PM, jesse-r...@wi.rr.com jesse-r...@wi.rr.com wrote: We have 2 sites/locations connected a site-to-site VPN... Try ping'ing with larger packet sizes. Try multiple sizes, such as 500, 2000, 1, 3, 6, and 65500. Might be an issue with path MTU. That's not uncommon with VPNs, since you're encapsulating datagrams inside datagrams -- an already max-size datagram then won't fit without fragmentation. That wouldn't show up with the default ping of 64 bytes. Could also be a name resolution issue. I've seen name resolution issues screw-up SMB, even when you give an IP address for the server name. Along those lines: Do you have WINS server(s) configured with all computers at all sites using the same set of WINS server(s)? If you are not using WINS, do you have NetBIOS-over-TCP/IP force-disabled on all clients?

RE: NFS case sensitive files in Linux and Windows
Thanks for your answer. I have been given more accurate info and I was a bit wrong of the assumptions. The main issue is that backing up from the Windows machine the NFS export (as local filesystem) from Netbackup is causing that anything case sensitive written from POSIX machines (Unix/Linux) is just considered as just one file. Backing up such exported NFS filesystem from a Linux machine takes 4 times more (40 MB/s vs 8 MB/s) Can you point me to documents of such Windows kernel tuning? We are wondering if changing something in the OS level could change the behavior of Netbackup running on Windows and performing restores case sensitive. This makes sense?

When it became obvious that the market didn't want IA-64, Intel copied AMD's design. (Ironic bit of historical reversal there.) Thus, the architecture is often named AMD64 or similar, because when the developement was started, it was an AMD-only thing. Intel originally called their x86-64 implementation EM64T.

ROBOCOPY /XD (exclude directory) wildcards
Hey all, With ROBOCOPY, is there a way to configure a directory exclude with a full path with a wildcard in the middle of the path? I want to do something like this: ROBOCOPY /E D:\ \\backup_server\backup_share\original_server\D /XD D:\Programs\Microsoft\RIS\Setup\English\Images\*\i386\ If I try the above, ROBOCOPY refuses to run, saying Invalid Parameter. The official docs just say /XD supports wildcards, but don't explain any details. From what little third-party info I can find, you can say /XD *cache* to exclude any folder containing the substring cache, but I'm not so sure about full paths. I suspect ROBOCOPY just doesn't do this, but I wanted a second opinion. The specific application is: I want to exclude the Remote Installation Services i386 folders from a server-to-server backup, since those can be trivially copied from CD again. I want to preserve other things, such as customizations under \$OEM$\. I want to avoid having to specify each and every image explictly, if I can, since I'm sure one of these days we'll forget to add a new image name to the exclude list, and accidentally backup a gigabyte of Windows install CD. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Backing up such exported NFS filesystem from a Linux machine takes 4 times more (40 MB/s vs 8 MB/s) Can you point me to documents of such Windows kernel tuning?

RE: Vista Ultimate in W2K3 domain question.
The only oddness I have seen is that sometimes mapped drives (authenticated with an account in the target domain - the laptop I use is a member of another domain altogether) sometimes stop working. Disconnecting and reconnecting works about 50% of the time. Occasionally, Explorer hangs and I have to end it and restart it. Les.

Services for Unix and Hyper-V, User Name Mapping and NFS
I can't seem to get User Name Mapping working, would appreciate any advice. My 2nd server can't read any of the names from the SFU name server, even though it's communicating. Setup I have a Windows 2003 DC, with Services for Unix running. I have a Windows 2008 Server with Hyper-V running. I need to make some windows shares (on a SAN) available via NFS to my VM's. This is to setup an Oracle RAC database on, and Hyper-V doesn't pass through the Fiber to the VM's, so a shared NFS mount is the only way to do it (with Hyper-V). I have advanced mapping in place and have correctly followed the directions at http://blogs.msdn.com/sfu/archive/2007/10/02/configuring-user-name-mappi ng-part-2-simple-mapping.aspx to get SFU name mapping working. It works from the DC but not a member server. The DC is Win2k3 Standard, the Hyper-V server is Win2008 Advanced. If I create a shared folder in the DC, then go to the NFS Sharing tab, then click 'permissions' the 'add' button is enabled and the list is populated. If I click add, I can choose the accounts I have mapped. However, on the Hyper-V machine (Win2k8), if I go to NFS Sharing, then 'manage' then 'permissions' the 'add' button is disabled. If I manually put in an (existing) name, say 'oracle' in the 'Add Names' box and click 'ok' it says The name oracle could not be resolved'. I have the Properties under Services for NFS correctly pointing to the DC as the User Name Mapping server. I have a .maphosts entry that correctly identifies the Hyper-V server as a valid client, and I also have a + rule for default. (anything to get it to work). I also tried disabling all the local firewalls. The event log on Win2008 shows NfsServer Event ID 1007, Server for NFS successfully obtained mapping information from User Name Mapping. No other errors in the event log. It's as if the Hyper-V server isn't communicating with the DC. Any ideas? == John == ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: ROBOCOPY /XD (exclude directory) wildcards
IIRC the syntax is source; destination; switches. Put all the switches at the end of the command line. -Original Message- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 6:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: ROBOCOPY /XD (exclude directory) wildcards On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 5:42 PM, lists li...@bdtechnology.org wrote: Is D shared?

RE: OT - Anyone VM a Mac Leopard OS on a PC?
There are hacks to OSX that allow you to run it on a PC - not exactly legal. For a start you can look at http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page From what I've heard, it's something you can fool around with but, even aside from it being pirated, not something you can use.

I have been doing some searching and it seems that Leopard is not really in the cards yet. If anyone has a link on how to set something like this up I would really appreciate it.
