RDP Question
I have a dual-monitor setup at work. When I remote in from home and RDP to my computer at work I cannot see anything on my second screen. Dameware has the ability to do this but cannot convince my boss to buy it yet. Is there a way to make RDP support this? By either a command line switch or some free plug-in? I could use VNC is there is a version that will do what I need. Anyone else have this problem?

RE: RDP Question
Thanks for the reply. After reading it looks like this will not work for me. I have a dual-monitor setup at work. At home I am using a laptop to remote into our network. I only have one screen to work with. When I remote in, if I open an application that is setup to open up on my second monitor I cannot see it at home. With Dameware I can click a button and it will show the output of my second monitor. I am looking for a way to do this for free. If that is possible.

RE: Multiple engineering offices and sharing large files
We use SBS08 and DFS to share files across sites. You can have multiple exchange servers with SBS if you want, but with a good VPN link and RDP/HTTP as a backup you should be fine. We didn't anticipate moving large files around until I mixed up some folders and put a load of ISO's in the DFS share. Next morning they were across all the sites like a rash!! You can have additional servers to host the DFS shares on every site and with proper use of group policies you should be fine.

RE: Multiple engineering offices and sharing large files
DFS is great, but it has a serious limitation: If one user opens a document or file at one location it is not locked for all locations. If two users modify the same document from two different locations you will experience data loss. Check out Globalscape's WAFS (Wide Area File Services previously known as Availl): http://www.globalscape.com/wafs One other solution is Peerlock, which integrates with DFS. We tested it for a client and when we ran into scalability issues their support department just shrugged their shoulders so we had to walk away from it: http://www.dfsfilelocking.com/ Peter -Original Message- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:ang...@geoapps.com] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 7:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Multiple engineering offices and sharing large files Anybody here running a small-business network with multiple geographically- remote (e.g. Arizona, Wyoming, Maine, Florida) offices for which the main office and the remote office both need access to the same large files (e.g. CAD drawings, large scientific datasets, GIS data)? The files are way too large to process over a VPN as Internet latency would clobber processing performance, but the home office needs to have the same data that the field office has so they can both work on the data, if not simultaneously, then on the same day. I don't think a TS setup would be reliable enough for this situation as the main=office's Internet connectivity isn't the most reliable. Servers will probably be Windows SBS servers as I think SBS can handle the number of users they have for Exchange (up to 250 users, right?). I'm thinking some sort of 'rsync'. but I'd be interested in how others have dealt with this. Related to this, how do you deal with email in a situation like this? I'm showing my ignrance about Exchange here, but is it possible to have a primary Exchange server in the main office and have each satellite office with its own mail server that draws from the main office but stores mail locally so local users can continue to have access to their email when the main office's lines are down, or is this something that the SBS-version of Exchange can't handle? ~ 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: Somebody at google hit the vodak too hard last night
The term malfunction describes observed behavior - something isn't functioning properly. The cause can be either deliberate or accidental. In this case, it might be a software change or data entered into a database. I trust Google to have pretty solid protection against global problems caused by data entry errors and also regression testing of software changes. To me, that leaves a deliberate change as the most likely. We'll hear more fairly soon. In the meantime, I see the problem has been fixed. Hmmm. I see Google uses stopbadware.org to identify sites with problems.

RE: Firewall Recommendations
Well... being a Cisco bigot J, I'll throw in the ASA. You can do everything on your list except for the last two bullet points with the base license (even on the 5505 if you wanted). Actually, you *can* filter based on malicious web traffic and get user by user reports, but it becomes cumbersome the more you do. I'd recommend Websense or N2H2 or even an Ironport for the user by user reporting and web content filtering if you're looking to do a lot. Or, to keep it all in one device, you can load up an ASA 5510 with the Content Security blade (CSC-SSM10) to get the filtering/reporting you're after. That will cover Anti-Virus/Anti-Spam/Malware/URL Filtering/Reporting but does require a license bump. Or, just stick with the basic ASA and use OpenDNS. Hope this helps! Aaron T.

Some of the key functions that we require, over and above being a good firewall of course are below, and I am hoping you can share your opinions on what are the best and worst devices to get the job done? Features: * SSL VPN (needless to say really) * The ability to log in to an https page on the firewall: we have set the watchguard up so that it will not open ports until a user first logs in to the firewall via an https page * The ability to authenticate against active directory in the above scenario: we have a separate forest set up strictly for this purpose (allows the same firewall login across all of our sites this way) * The ability to report web traffic usage on a user by user basis, as opposed to machine IP Address * Some sort of web content filtering, both by type of file, and classic content types, such as gambling etc Many thanks in advance for any and all feedback Clayton Doige IT Project Manager CME Development Corporation T: 020 7430 5355 M: 07949 255062 E:clayton.do...@cme-net.com W:www.cetv-net.com __ This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Re: Somebody at google hit the vodak too hard last night
The cause apparently was human error at stopbadware.org. An entry of / got in without being caught, and that extends to call the entire Internet malware. Of course many people may agree with that assessment. :) More of the story at http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,100567,10012034o-2000331777b,00.htm?new_comment Steve - Original Message - From: Steve Pruitt adminli...@bytampabay.com To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 11:02 AM Subject: Re: Somebody at google hit the vodak too hard last night The term malfunction describes observed behavior - something isn't functioning properly.

Sorry Michael, I meant whether there was a way to do this in Ipswitch WUG rather than if there is a way to do thisfull stop. Assessing replacements for N-Able here.

On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Sauvigne, Craig M sauvig...@winthrop.edu wrote: ... monitors all the lab computers around campus ... ... those machines having lost their record in DNS ... What OS(es) are the lab computers running? (You mentioned the servers, but not the clients, in your follow-up.) With Windows, by default, the DHCP client service is responsible for dynamically registering and refreshing the DNS records with the DNS server. So if the DHCP client service is not running, is stopped, or has its DNS UPDATE messages blocked, the DNS records will eventually be scavenged by the MS DNS server. This is the case even for clients which manually configured IP addresses, so you don't need to be using DHCP for the DHCP client service to be important. Come to think of it, I don't know (or can't remember) how often the DHCP client service refreshes those DNS records, or how it decides that, or what triggers it. Maybe that timing is messed up somehow. On the lab computers, for the Network Connection properties, make sure the option to register the client's name in DNS is enabled (checked). (I doubt this is it, but worth checking.) You might want to try a packet sniffer with a filter rule that will only match DNS UPDATE messages for the lab DNS domain. I'm pretty sure Ethereal/WireShark can do that. See if the clients are registering and/or refreshing their DNS records when they should. Are the lab computers getting network config from Windows DHCP? If so, you may want to adjust your DHCP server properties as per the following. The following seems to yield the best results in my experience, for certain definitions of best. YMMV. Automatically update DHCP client information in DNS = Enabled Always update DNS = Selected Discard forward (name-to-address) lookups when lease expires = Enabled Enable updates for DNS clients that do not support dynamic update = Enabled -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
