RE: Acronis Disk Director - Free Trial
If you are looking at Acronis keep this in mind. We had been using it here for years and recently started adding x64 2008 machines to our environment, which does not work with Acronis. I contacted Acronis directly and they indicated 2008 is an unsupported OS and there are currently no immediate plans to support it. I then contacted Paragon software which has a competing product, Partition Manager Server. Very similar to Acronis, and it does support 2008, both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. I have done some preliminary testing and it seems to have the same functionality as Acronis.

Smith [mich...@owa.smithcons.com] Sent: Monday, 1 June 2009 1:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Amusing The general plan here is to improve performance when you have large mailboxes. Most, but not all (granted) folks would say that it's OK to use more disk space if that effectively removes a key performance blocker. SIS was designed and implemented when Exchange supported a SINGLE database and most companies were using 9 GB disks and processor power was tiny (think 50-75 Mhz Pentiums). To implement SIS required that certain tables in that database be shared among all mailboxes in that database. This was an acceptable trade-off, then, as it allowed companies to eke out every possible byte from those small disks with their slow I/O. However, that sharing made it impractical to support VLMs (very large mailboxes) due to the size of the index trees that resulted. In Exchange 2007, one of those tables was moved to a per-mailbox table instead of a per-database table (the message body table), the size of database pages was increased, and these improved supported for large mailboxes. This had the impact of removing SIS for message bodies. However, contention and overall table size and total I/O requirements continued to limit the overall performance for VLMs. In Exchange 2010, a couple of other tables are also moved to per-mailbox, notably the attachment table. The size of database pages is increased. These changes effectively make it possible to support VLMs for many mailboxes in a single exchange database; and to do so performantly. And cheaply - using much cheaper disk; since these changes significantly change the overall I/O profile for Exchange databases. However, this change eliminates SIS. For uncompressed attachments, these are now compressed. In Microsoft's tests, significantly more disk space was regained using attachment compression than was saved by SIS. Of course, that may not be true for all companies or stores. Since AT LEAST Exchange 2003, Microsoft has been recommending (warning, if you read it another way) that companies do not use SIS in planning for their disk space requirements. So, in summary: most of Microsoft's customers want very performant very large mailboxes. Microsoft is making the necessary changes to meet that desire.

Random explorer.exe issue
I have an issue with explorer.exe not starting on boot. It has been happening throughout my organization, randomly. Rarely hits the same person twice in a row. They end up coming to me after trying to reboot 2-3 times, with no luck. I tell them how to go into task manager and start a new explorer.exe task, and all their icons pop up, and they are happy. However, I'm at the point of realizing there must be some underlying issue, as it is extremely widespread. The randomness is what really bothers me though, as there are rarely solutions for random issues. But, I'm hoping that you guys can come up with something. I have googled it, and there is plenty of hard disk space, and the registry keys are correct. (userinit, and shell) Any help/advice/tips are greatly appreciated.

Server 2003 terminal services - user session question
We have 1 server running terminal services. We use hosted exchange. Our host has provided a utility called outlookph (outlook profile helper). This is only supposed to create a new outlook profile (to access the user mailbox on the hosted server). When I first setup outlook 2007 on the terminal server a year ago, I created 10 user profiles, no problem with this utility. Now, when I run the utility in a user session, for a new user, the utility complains about outlook or other email program being open, and will not create the profile. So, I rebooted the server. Allowed other users back in. Logged in as new user, and checked processes under taskmanager, noting no email apps running, ran the outlookph, again same message. Checked with the other 2 current users (in session), and both are running outlook. So, I guess, somehow this utility is able to see outlook running in the other user sessions, but the user cannot see any processes other than their own, under task manager. This does not seem right to me. Shouldn't the server prevent this from happening? Server 2003 r2 sp2, fully patched. Terminal services is app mode. Office standard 2007 sp1.

Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my inbox/folder
I have several emails i get every day that notify when a job is finished; some of these emails come from legacy systems that don't allow much control for me.

For instance, i receive a particular email from an email archive product every morning at 7:30am. But if i don't receive it; i would like to create some kind of rule that would implement an action of my choosing (even a script of my choosing) to notify me that i didn't receive that email today. This is especially useful if i'm not at a computer most of that day and i badly need to know about a missed job that my email archive didn't perform today.

Caesare [mailto:scaes...@caesare.com] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 8:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mobile Satellite for Internet access The deal with sat service is, as mentioned, the unavoidable ~700ms delay associated with the bounce to the bird and back... Typically, mechanisms to mask that latency fall in to two categories: -TCP ack suppression: waiting for an ack after each transmit window grinds connections to a halt, even if the overall bandwidth is more than sufficient. A 8Mb sat link would be lucky to see more than a few hundred Kb actual throughput. By using the underlying satellite carrier mechanisms to determine successful transmit the system can spoof acks at the endpoints, and avoid that hit. -Intelligent proxying: Intelligently dealing with well-known protocols can also mask some of the delay. A web page load can encompass dozens, or sometimes upwards of a hundred object loads, often requiring a large number of TCP connections to various servers, with an initial TCP handshake(which typically is NOT suppressible), thus incurring significant initial delay. That sat system will proxy that request locally, batch up all the object requests, and marshal them across the link in a single connection to a back-end proxy, which will pull the objects from the interweb and then push them back in a single connection back to the client. Despite such good efforts, two things you want to do make that hard: - VPN: The TCP syn/ack sequence is now inside an encrypted tunnel the sat system cannot see, so it cannot spoof the acks. Data inside the tunnel becomes SLW Typical ways around this are to terminate the VPN tunnel at terrestrial each end of the sat link, and depend on the sat provider to guarantee privacy over the shot to the bird and back with varying degrees of success. I dunno if Mobilsat is doing that or something spiffier. - RDP: Despite the ack suppression at the packet layer, if the application layer is highly chatty/interactive then the delay still kills you. Waiting a second or more to see you terminal keystroke is painful, although local echo can make it tolerable for occasional/light use. Waiting for your mouse pointer/window drag to catch up in your RDP session is similarly ugly. If your only alternative is a 14 hour plane trip, it's workable, otherwise sat is great for multicast/specialized traffic, but tends to suck as a broadband ISP alternative. -sc -Original Message- From: Gene Giannamore [mailto:gene.giannam...@abideinternational.com] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 7:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mobile Satellite for Internet access What about the VOIP offerings that some sat isps offer?

Smith [mich...@owa.smithcons.com] Sent: Monday, 1 June 2009 1:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Amusing The general plan here is to improve performance when you have large mailboxes. Most, but not all (granted) folks would say that it's OK to use more disk space if that effectively removes a key performance blocker. SIS was designed and implemented when Exchange supported a SINGLE database and most companies were using 9 GB disks and processor power was tiny (think 50-75 Mhz Pentiums). To implement SIS required that certain tables in that database be shared among all mailboxes in that database. This was an acceptable trade-off, then, as it allowed companies to eke out every possible byte from those small disks with their slow I/O. However, that sharing made it impractical to support VLMs (very large mailboxes) due to the size of the index trees that resulted. In Exchange 2007, one of those tables was moved to a per-mailbox table instead of a per-database table (the message body table), the size of database pages was increased, and these improved supported for large mailboxes. This had the impact of removing SIS for message bodies. However, contention and overall table size and total I/O requirements continued to limit the overall performance for VLMs. In Exchange 2010, a couple of other tables are also moved to per-mailbox, notably the attachment table. The size of database pages is increased. These changes effectively make it possible to support VLMs for many mailboxes in a single exchange database; and to do so performantly. And cheaply - using much cheaper disk; since these changes significantly change the overall I/O profile for Exchange databases. However, this change eliminates SIS. For uncompressed attachments, these are now compressed. In Microsoft's tests, significantly more disk space was regained using attachment compression than was saved by SIS. Of course, that may not be true for all companies or stores. Since AT LEAST Exchange 2003, Microsoft has been recommending (warning, if you read it another way) that companies do not use SIS in planning for their disk space requirements. So, in summary: most of Microsoft's customers want very performant very large mailboxes. Microsoft is making the necessary changes to meet that desire.

Sorry but that still seems kind of redundant to me. So it's going to
email him if the file isn't there. If he could pay attention to his
email in the first place he wouldn't need a script to do something if
the email didn't show up. I guess it would be ok if it were to email
someone else so in case you aren't available they could handle the

I strongly second what MBS said. It's all about cost/benefit. What does Exchange cost you, and how does it benefit you? What will Gmail cost you, and how will it benefit you? Who has the higher ratio? Maybe Google really *is* a better proposition for you. How should *we* know? :) Costs have to include not just license costs (Exchange) or service fees (Google), but admin time and user time and infrastructure costs. Do you spend lots of money on Exchange server hardware? Will you have to spend lots of money of faster/redundant/reliable Internet feeds? Offline use and Internet reliability are a big question mark for me. If your Internet feed is impaired (slow), will your organization find the system unusable for the duration? What about laptop users? Information assurance is another big question. While I don't distrust Google more than I distrust any large company, and I believe Google has more staying power than some other web service providers, I still worry about what happens if they decide that product just isn't working and cancel/change things. At least with Exchange, even if Microsoft decides to cancel the product (hypothetically), the server I have now will keep running for years until we can work out a migration plan. If Google shuts down, you loose everything immediately. What features of Exchange/Outlook do you use? MBS has good list. Compare how they will work for you in the two services. Not just Does it have feature X?, but, How easy is it to do X? If you've got a lot of power users who make use of Exchange features in Outlook, will retraining for the Google methods be a big deal? Make sure Google gives you an *iron clad* agreement. It should spell out acceptable service and how that's measured (and who does the measuring), and what the penalties are. For a lot of services, the penalties are for hours of uninterrupted service, which means they can be unreliable as hell but still collect most of their fee. You want a strong profit incentive for them to not suck. If at all possible, work on getting a pilot program where a few people have their mail forwarded to/from Google, and use it that way for a *couple months*. 1500 accounts should be enough to entice Google into giving you that kind of trial. (If they balk, threaten to walk, and magic will happen.) There's nothing like hands-on experience to tell you how something will fly in the real world. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
RE: Google Aps
We use Google Apps. Being the free (but educational) version we don't get support at all, yours will be different. One thing that bugs me all the time is that you can't make changes to email accounts en-mass. For instance, pop and imap are disabled by default when you create the accounts. You can't simply enable them for the whole domain all at once. We only had 50 users or so, so it wasn't a huge deal, but for bigger organizations... Also, the Google default behavior for POP is annoying. If you want to be guaranteed that your local mail client will get its email immediately after arrival at Google's servers, then your account name in the mail client needs to look like this: recent:n...@yourorg.com I had three or four users out of 50 that would not get mail in Outlook for DAYS that was present in the webmail interface. With recent:, your email will download to the client and be removed from the server. Without the recent:, copies of the email stay there regardless of the setting in Outlook. There are settings in the gmail interface too for this, but again, you can't set this en-mass. I would set up a test domain and run through some scenarios. -- Mike Gill -Original Message- From: Jeremy Anderson [mailto:jer...@mapiadmin.net] Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 10:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Google Aps I was just informed by my boss that we will activly be presuing using Google Aps Enterprise in our company and if the 30 day trial goes well, then we will be off Exchange and using Google Aps.

Re: Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my inbox/folder
Are we saying that you want a notification in email if you didn't get an email?
If the client was set to always send an email regardless of what happened, you
could filter on the contents of the email to look for an attachment or no
attachment, or some keyword that you build into the email you are sending to
help you figure out if the job worked or not.
If the client device that is sending the notifications has a command prompt and
can run code, you could use the free tool like blat - www.blat.net/194/ which
is really handy and can do all kinds of stuff with files and attachments. You
can build distribution lists with email addresses, etc.
Other than that, not sure how you tell Outlook to look for the lack of an email?

Sorry but that still seems kind of redundant to me. So it's going to email him
if the file isn't there. If he could pay attention to his email in the first
place he wouldn't need a script to do something if the email didn't show up. I
guess it would be ok if it were to email someone else so in case you aren't
available they could handle the problem or call you.

I think the best you can do is two scripts One triggered by an outlook rule
that creates a specific file when you do receive the email and the second that
checks for the presence of said file- deletes it if it is there, so you are set
for tomorrow else emails you that it is not there

Subject: Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my

I have several emails i get every day that notify when a job is finished;
some of these emails come from legacy systems that don't allow much control
for me.
Does anyone know of a method to create some type of notification in Outlook
(probably using rules) that would allow for some extra notification if one
of these daily emails don't get sent to me?
For instance, i receive a particular email from an email archive product
every morning at 7:30am. But if i don't receive it; i would like to create
some kind of rule that would implement an action of my choosing (even a
script of my choosing) to notify me that i didn't receive that email today.
This is especially useful if i'm not at a computer most of that day and i badly
need
to know about a missed job that my email archive didn't perform today.
I've probably over explained this; but i think you guys might get the jist.

I can't speak for the OP, but the labels paradigm that Gmail uses can confuse, or cause suboptimal behavior, in many IMAP clients. Clients tend to assume a message can exist in only one IMAP folder. Or they try to enumerate the contents of All Mail and explode. This is arguably as much a client problem as Gmail's, but it's good to be aware of. Google documents this, more-or-less, in their Help. I guess there's actually a labels feature in newer IMAP specs, but practically nothing implements it (including Gmail). IMAP has always been the problem child of the Internet mail protocol suite.

Re: Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my inbox/folder
Although I somewhat agree that it is repetitiously redundant, I have a
similar thought on a solution:
Create a rule that fires when the email comes in:
A) creates a task check why the archive didn't email you, due tomorrow
B) marks today's task as complete
So then you come into work today. Look at today's tasks, nothing to
do. All ok.
Problem occurs overnight
Lack of email causes the task created in A to still be due
After coffee tomorrow, you see you have a task due today.
Honestly, I don't know if B can be done. This is overkill like others
have said.

show up. I guess it would be ok if it were to email someone else so in case
you aren't available they could handle the problem or call you.

I think the best you can do is two scripts One triggered by an outlook rule
that creates a specific file when you do receive the email and the second
that checks for the presence of said file- deletes it if it is there, so you
are set for tomorrow else emails you that it is not there
Good luck

but that is exactly what i'm looking for. a method to detect an absence of
an email. I can't be the only dude in town that has this need heh.

A rule requires an inbound message to trigger it. The absence of a message
can't cause a rule to fire. You'll need to create a separate watchguard

isn't reliable, you'll have to create a watchguard for the watchguard, and

Subject: Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my

I have several emails i get every day that notify when a job is finished;
some of these emails come from legacy systems that don't allow much control
for me.
Does anyone know of a method to create some type of notification in Outlook
(probably using rules) that would allow for some extra notification if one
of these daily emails don't get sent to me?
For instance, i receive a particular email from an email archive product
every morning at 7:30am. But if i don't receive it; i would like to create
some kind of rule that would implement an action of my choosing (even a
script of my choosing) to notify me that i didn't receive that email today.
This is especially useful if i'm not at a computer most of that day and i
badly need
to know about a missed job that my email archive didn't perform today.
I've probably over explained this; but i think you guys might get the jist.
