RE: Outlook 2010 ?

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi Richard,

Just did a quick test, and I was able to add another mailbox within the same 
org. Because I was logging on as a different user, I did have to check the 
"always prompt for credentials" checkbox in the "More Settings" dialogue so 
that a username/password prompt would come up.

Cheers
Ken

You know Ken, the funny thing is that I first learned of the new feature in 
OL2010 from your blog.  I also investigated "ExtraOutlook"
but decided against it as I really would like to have a supported solution.  
(i.e. I haven't had time to test and make sure it wont trash the CEO's various 
mailboxes...)

An officially supported way to hit multiple Exchange mailboxes is going to help 
out a lot of people out there, particularly if Outlook is sensitive to the 
context of whichever account is in focus at any given time.

Thanks to all who've responded, and it would sure be nice to hear from an 
OL2010 tester if there are any out there.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

For a lan if you feel up to the task: http://www.drbd.org

 

I use it in my datacenter, and am now replicating it for clients over
10/100meg fiber for entire esx servers and some just data servers. Seems to
work pretty well with little management.

RE: adprep when adding first 2008 server

IIRC this is not the case. You would need to run it on an x64 machine.

Good point, and although 'compatibility' isn't synonymous with MicroSoft, I'd 
bet a beer that the adprep executables are 32bit so they can be run on any 
existing schema master

I am relatively certain the only important thing is that you will have to run 
the executable from a 64bit machine.  The changes that the code makes to AD 
shouldn't have anything to do with the version.  In other words, the only 
difference between the adprep executable on the 32bit version vs the 64bit 
version, is that one is compiled for 32bit systems and the other is compiled 
for 64bit systems.

I can't say for 100% but I'd think not  since you can mix 64 bit and 32 bit 
servers, as long as they have the same AD version   Check for the highest 
numbered schxx.ldf file on the media with the diskprep... I'll find mine on the 
32bit version media, and I'll bet they're the same ... I seriously doubt the 
schema is 32 bit or 64 bit dependent ...

RE: Team Viewer - remote support app

What does it do besides remote connection? I use gotoassist (free and now
commercial) and I also have some clients on logmein. I see the free version
doesn't install on server(s), but doesn't seem too bad if it works just as
well.

Cheers Lee,

I had a support session from a BIG player using it today - what amused 
me is that they used the non commercial one - I mentioned it and it was 
becuase WebFX was down (apparently). It wasnt Mcafee, but it may have 
well as been!

Just tried it on my Macbook to wifes PC, worked great - dead easy for 
even the slowest of end users to install.

A good Network mailing list suggestion?

[Matthew W. Ross]

Hey all.

I have some networking-centric questions, and while I'm sure this list would 
all be happy to give me your thoughts, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a more 
Network and Routing centric mailing list? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Team Viewer - remote support app

[Gavin Wilby]

Cheers Lee,

I had a support session from a BIG player using it today - what amused 
me is that they used the non commercial one - I mentioned it and it was 
becuase WebFX was down (apparently). It wasnt Mcafee, but it may have 
well as been!


Just tried it on my Macbook to wifes PC, worked great - dead easy for 
even the slowest of end users to install.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Sam Cayze]

And supports "Detects Moved Files"
"Detects Moved Files. If you reorganized your folders by moving files to
different locations, Super Flexible File Synchronizer will detect this
and quickly perform the same moves, for example, on your laptop. No
extraneous copying!"
 
Awesome.
 
This has always bugged Syncing over all our desktop/laptop backups to
our DR site.  If someone renamed a 2GB folder, most utilities would
delete the original, and rsync the new 2GB folder.

Score!  Nice find.  Sounds just like SyncBack, but with the bonus of
Delta.
 
The price is practically free too.  $59.

It's cheap and has loads of features including live replication, partial

  It doesn't do delta copies (just copying changed parts) though, does

  It doesn't do delta copies (just copying changed parts) though, does

I am relatively certain the only important thing is that you will have to 
run the executable from a 64bit machine.  The changes that the code makes to AD 
shouldn't have anything to do with the version.  In other words, the only 
difference between the adprep executable on the 32bit version vs the 64bit 
version, is that one is compiled for 32bit systems and the other is compiled 
for 64bit systems.

Good point, and although 'compatibility' isn't synonymous with MicroSoft,
I'd bet a beer that the adprep executables are 32bit so they can be run on

RE: GPO puzzler

[Bill Songstad (WCUL)]

I think you have led me down the road to victory, of a sort, Bonnie.  I
read a forum post archived from
microsoft>public>windows>vista>networking_sharing
(http://forum.soft32.com/win4/Disable-Offline-Files-grayed-ftopict168834
.html
 ) that suggested a bug requires the offline files to be disabled
initially on the workstation in order for the GPO to work.  So I deleted
my GPO ( I couldn't disable offline folders manually as long as the GPO
was even partially in effect) Disabled Offline Folders in Control Panel,
rebooted, and reapplied the GPO.  Now offline files are off and can't be
re-enabled manually.   

 

For posterity, I tried re-applying the GPO after disabling and
re-enabling the offline folders manually.  No love.  It definitely only
stuck when the folders were off.

 

I'd sure hate to have to do that for dozens of PCs though, let alone
hundreds.  Especially since the default behavior for Vista is that they
are enabled.   

 

I think Ben's suggestion that disabling the offline folders service
(CSCService) might help in that case.  His suggestion sent me here:
(http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/
Windows_Vista/Q_23532310.html
 ) 

 

Thanks everyone.  Looks like I'll get to keep my hair after all.

Hmm... kind of sounds like the GPO sets the value, but doesn't do
anything about the current user offline file cache.  In other words, I
think the user would have to not already have an offline file cache for
disabling it here to work.


Maybe try a new (or another) user profile out that doesn't already have
offline files and see if it does what you expect?  You could also try
another Vista computer in the same ou where that user does not have an
offline file cache already.

 

I know they've changed a lot with offline files, but I seem to remember
having problems on XP when a user already had cached files and we tried
to turn it off on a machine via gpo.

Scenario:

W2k3 domain

Vista Business SP2 workstation

 

Goal:

Disable offline folders

 

Strategy:

Create AD OU:  Domain > Local machines > vista workstations

Place workstation into OU

Create and link "disable offline folders" GPO to the previously
mentioned OU

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Network > Offline Files > Allow or disallow use of the Offline Files
Feature = disabled

Wait several hours, reboot, wait again, run gpudate /force on the
client, wait, reboot, wait

 

Result:

Offline files are still available and syncable

 

Any idea where I dropped the ball on this?  

Running the Group Policy Results Wizard on the workstation  shows the
policy applied on the Computer Configuration but denied on the User
Configuration with the reason "empty".  

Running the Group Policy Modeling Wizard with the same OUs shows nothing
would be denied.  

 

Googling, Binging, and banging my head comes up with the usual culprit
being trying to apply a user setting to an OU with only computers in it.
But in this case I'm dealing with a computer setting in a group that
only contains computers.

 

Any help is appreciated.

There's a company called Datacore that will do synchronous and
asynchronous mirroring locally or to a remote DR site.  It sits between
your storage and the storage consumers, and the analogy I've used is
that it sort of "prisms" all traffic to/from the storage and splits off
a copy to send to your DR site.

Well worth looking into, although it's not cheap.  Also, you do need to
implement their recommended HA configuration unless you're willing to
accept a single point of failure between your data and your servers.

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was
insufficient space for replication (the drive on the main server was low
on drive space so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as
you said that there were open files when it was trying to replicate.

Unfortunately, those are show stoppers for us. We need something that

So when you noticed that the data was not there did you check your DFS

and the only times we have seen this behavior were listed in the logs
showing the DFS errors.  The other reason was also listed in the logs,
depending on the application that is creating/updating the file is file
closure.  DFS will not update a file that is still open, until the file

There's a company called Datacore that will do synchronous and
asynchronous mirroring locally or to a remote DR site.  It sits between
your storage and the storage consumers, and the analogy I've used is
that it sort of "prisms" all traffic to/from the storage and splits off
a copy to send to your DR site.

Well worth looking into, although it's not cheap.  Also, you do need to
implement their recommended HA configuration unless you're willing to
accept a single point of failure between your data and your servers.

So when you noticed that the data was not there did you check your DFS logs
to see if there was a problem.  We are currently using Windows 2008 and the

I'm not sure you are going to find anything out there that is less
expensive, and gives you what you are looking for, then going with DFS in
2008. I think the 3rd party products have more features, but you will pay a
premium for them. We had been using Double-Take at my previous job, and
switched to DFS with 2008.

Re: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Andrew Laya]

We started out using DFS under 2003-R2 for a remote office, to
replicate data back to our location. We ran into the same sort of
thing as you mention. My biggest beef was the lack of real-time
monitoring to see what was actually going on. We ended up installing a
copy of HP Storage Mirroring that we had spare licences for (which is
basically rebranded Double-Take) and couldn't be happier with it. We
are mirroring over 2 million files, at almost 2 TB of data this way,
and I can see precisely what it is doing at any point in time.
Just my .02 worth.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[John Aldrich]

Thanks, Andy. I just don't have the confidence that my data is being
replicated. Eventually it'll be a moot point as we're looking at various SAN
or NAS solutions for early 2010 purchase. I haven't decided what I'll get
but I have a number of suggestions. I'm always happy with more suggestions.

Rsync or Xcopy via scheduled task if you're looking for a free MS based
replacement.  Just watch out for task overlap, I've seen people schedule 15
minute replication intervals for all deltas but it wasn't enough time to
complete...task queue fills up, you get the idea.  

I've also seen some IT mojo worked with the Microsoft file server migration
tool since it handles perms, shares, etc.  

I prefer Dfs if it's my call.

Options abound, YMMV.

I'm using RSYNC, but in no way is it real time.  Just a few syncs a day.

But it is used for DR purposes, as you mentioned.  I think I would like
to go the DFS route once we get going in Win 2008.

I'm not sure you are going to find anything out there that is less
expensive, and gives you what you are looking for, then going with DFS in
2008. I think the 3rd party products have more features, but you will pay
a premium for them. We had been using Double-Take at my previous job, and
switched to DFS with 2008. 

 

YMMV

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[John Aldrich]

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was insufficient
space for replication (the drive on the main server was low on drive space
so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as you said that there
were open files when it was trying to replicate.

Unfortunately, those are show stoppers for us. We need something that will
ignore locked files and replicate no matter what.

Rsync or Xcopy via scheduled task if you're looking for a free MS based 
replacement.  Just watch out for task overlap, I've seen people schedule 15 
minute replication intervals for all deltas but it wasn't enough time to 
complete...task queue fills up, you get the idea.  

I've also seen some IT mojo worked with the Microsoft file server migration 
tool since it handles perms, shares, etc.  

I prefer Dfs if it's my call.

Options abound, YMMV.

My shutdown scripts stop services first, and check if they are still

Sysinternals tools.

Nothing is perfect in terms of automation. The rest is user behavior

I had a user doing a search on google and it came up with a valid PSU link. 
 When we clicked on the link it took us to a virus page.  This happened 3 times 
before it finally said page not found. (fortunately, the virus scanner stopped 
the infection.) The link worked fine at Yahoo.  I have also noticed that Yahoo 
is running some type of virus scanner on its web site.  I have gotten a few 
links with the message underneath them that says "possible virus site" or 
something like that.

I think there are quite a few google hacks going on.  But then again, 
google is the big target, just like M$ Windose.

Hey Shawn,

 

Getting in here a bit late ... as a managed services provider, I concur
that 

there's quite a market for these. So many companies don't have the time
or 

want to invest in the staff to manage their IT infrastructure. In many 

cases, the cost of entry for establishing in-house services (like an 

Exchange server) is also prohibitive for smaller businesses. Paying a 

monthly fee for things like this, and knowing that the service provider
is 

going to take care of the patching, A/V, updates, etc. seems to take a 

significant load off the plate of small business owners whose main focus
is 

to provide their own services, not perform IT work. Virtualized 

datacenter-hosted services like these are our fastest growing service 

offering.

 

Hope that helps and have fun ...

 

Adam

Script the shutdown command with the required parameters, using a service 
account with the necessary credentials. As long as you have got a list of your 
servers, you should be good to go. you could run this as a scheduled task 
deployed via 2008 Group policy preferences if you wanted a GPO method.

Hi Folks:

 

Suggestions on server reboot methods?  I've tried a number over the years and 
none seem to be 100% perfect (user's logged in, expired password)?

 

Suggestions?  I'd really like to be able to control it via a GPO if possible.

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

[Terry Dickson]

So when you noticed that the data was not there did you check your DFS logs to 
see if there was a problem.  We are currently using Windows 2008 and the only 
times we have seen this behavior were listed in the logs showing the DFS 
errors.  The other reason was also listed in the logs, depending on the 
application that is creating/updating the file is file closure.  DFS will not 
update a file that is still open, until the file is closed.

We are currently using DFS to replicate between servers for D/R purposes. When 
attempting to access the DFS share, we noticed that sometimes the data is not

others are using for duplicating data between servers for D/R purposes? Is 
there some software out there that doesn't cost a bunch of money that'll

That's why I have the AVG Safe Surf plugin in my Firefox. J It's stopped

I had a user doing a search on google and it came up with a valid PSU link.
When we clicked on the link it took us to a virus page.  This happened 3
times before it finally said page not found. (fortunately, the virus scanner
stopped the infection.) The link worked fine at Yahoo.  I have also noticed
that Yahoo is running some type of virus scanner on its web site.  I have
gotten a few links with the message underneath them that says "possible
virus site" or something like that.

I think there are quite a few google hacks going on.  But then again, google
is the big target, just like M$ Windose.

The legends says "Skip this page" and "Your request is loading"
When it completes I am at www.search.pro  , not the

I'm using Firefox.

I looked in the usual places -- add-ons, extensions etc but to no avail.
The URL on the "redirect" page seems to change several time before it
shows the list of choices.
shopica.com is often there, tho I've seen others.
the URL of the destination is www.search.pro  

Has anyone seen this?
It appears new -- there is little on google about it, but then
searching on "search" or "pro" is hardly going to narrow the field
much.

My surfing habits make this sort of thing very rare, so I've no idea
how I got it.  It has only shown up over the past week or so.

Hey Shawn,

Getting in here a bit late ... as a managed services provider, I concur that
there's quite a market for these. So many companies don't have the time or
want to invest in the staff to manage their IT infrastructure. In many
cases, the cost of entry for establishing in-house services (like an
Exchange server) is also prohibitive for smaller businesses. Paying a
monthly fee for things like this, and knowing that the service provider is
going to take care of the patching, A/V, updates, etc. seems to take a
significant load off the plate of small business owners whose main focus is
to provide their own services, not perform IT work. Virtualized
datacenter-hosted services like these are our fastest growing service
offering.

Hope that helps and have fun ...

Adam
