RE: N00b question

[Brian Desmond]

The feature was a hack and it was easily worked around and/or broken.

Basically what happened was the checkbox denies read access to the member 
attribute on a group. The problem then becomes that administrators can't read 
it either, so, the checkbox puts the entries in the ACL out of order basically 
so that admins can still read it. As soon as you open the security tab on an 
affected group, the UI reorders the ACL such that it's properly ordered 
(canonical). The fix for this is that the RUS (which is gone in Exchange 2007+) 
keeps an eye on the group and reorders the ACL back to out of order when this 
happens. There's nothing stopping you from searching AD for say 
memberOf=cn=MyGroup,DC=company,DC=com and getting the membership.

The workaround (to some degree) is to create the group with hidden membership, 
and then create a group with the actual membership which is hidden from the GAL 
and nested in the effect DL. You also still need groups with screwy ACLs to 
really pull this off.

These are the lines in the script that we are using

ifmember "Domain\Group1"

Whats happening is that the"ifmember" bit seems to be ignored and the drive is 
being mapped for everyone.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong or how to achieve what I am trying to 
do.  The Ifmember.exe is in the netlogon folder.

Essentialy we have one folder that about 15 people need access to and we are

Hello all...

I have new hardware onto which I want to move my Exchange server.  I'm trying 
to find specific instructions on this but I'm getting more confused the more I 
search.  I will be using the move user method; that is, I want to build the new 
box in the same org and use the move user wizard to swing the users over.  Then 
eventually, remove the old server.

I have very basic questions like do I have to run forest and domain prep to add 
a server to the org?

I hope someone has a link to a step by step...or good advice.

Thanks a million in advance!

Environment is:
Existing Exchange 2003 Enterprise is on W2K3 Standard server.  This server is 
also a domain controller and has Groupshield on it as well.  It will remain a 
DC.

New server has W2K3 Enterprise and that's all.  It will not be a DC.

RE: Email archiving solution without Exchange

[Benjamin Zachary - Lists]

Im running mailarchive free for a pretty big shop @ 200gb datastores, and it
works well. We have it running with LDAP/AD on a 2003 domain and now on a
2008 domain, and were able to make AD groups and put users/mgrs in them. I
like GFI better but for free mailarchiva worked pretty good the few places I
installed it.

I used the free version of Mailarchiva for about a month or so to get a feel
for it.  I have to agree that the search is lightning fast, but the free
version is too crippled to be of use to an org of more than a few users.
The main reasons I passed on it in production were:

 

1) The import utility kept crashing.  I couldn't ever get it to run more
than once in a row without dying the second time.

2) The LDAP/AD integration just flat didn't work.  It may be because it
isn't supported on the free version, but the documentation says different
things in different places about whether it should/will.

3) Because the AD integration didn't work, I could not set up very granular
controls on who could see or do what.  I also would have had to maintain a
user database on the Mailarchiva server itself in addition to AD.

4) The final, huge killer is that there isn't any sort of SIS/deduplication
built in to the free version.  For us, that would make our storage
requirements astronomical for the type of hardware I have available to run
it on.  I think the paid version supports some sort of SIS at the attachment
level.

 

I mostly liked what I saw, but the paid version isn't an option for me at
the moment, and the free version wasn't full-featured enough.

 

If it matters, I ran it on Linux.

a little gun shy (also sent to the Exchange list)

[Bill Lambert]

Hello all...

 

I have new hardware onto which I want to move my Exchange server.  I'm
trying to find specific instructions on this but I'm getting more
confused the more I search.  I will be using the move user method; that
is, I want to build the new box in the same org and use the move user
wizard to swing the users over.  Then eventually, remove the old server.


 

I have very basic questions like do I have to run forest and domain prep
to add a server to the org?  

 

I hope someone has a link to a step by step...or good advice.  

 

Thanks a million in advance!

 

Environment is:

Existing Exchange 2003 Enterprise is on W2K3 Standard server.  This
server is also a domain controller and has Groupshield on it as well.
It will remain a DC.

 

New server has W2K3 Enterprise and that's all.  It will not be a DC.

Thanks for all the replies.  If it would spin up I have Ontracks
recovery tools that could get whatever data was there.  I guess the
freezer is worth a try, but I thought that was more for old school
drives where the heads were not lining up with the tracks any more.  For
this drive, the failure to spin would have to be one of several things:
Bad controller board that drives the motor (If I had an identical drive
I could try swapping the board); bad motor; frozen motor bearings; or
"Stiction" where the heads become stuck to the platters.  I ran across a
bad case of "stiction" long ago with an ST-225 (remember those?).  On
this drive you could actually try to spin the motor from outside the
drive.  I turned real hard with my fingers until the platters finally
broke loose.  When I powered it up after that I heard clunk clunk clunk
clunk clunk   I took the drive apart and one of the heads was still
stuck to the platter and had ripped loose of the head arm.  Good thing
there was no valuable data on that drive.

Try the freezer trick, it worked for me once.

Also, spinrite (grc.com, $89, 30-day moneyback guarantee if it doesn't

can sometimes help IF the drive will spin up.

Ontrack data recovery (google 'em) will give estimates by email.

OT: Can anyone remember...

[Bernard, Norm]

Sorry for going this far OT, but it's driving a colleague and I insane trying 
to remember what this commercial was for. 

Does anyone out there remember a TV Commercial that featured a child on a bus 
being teased by all his friends with chants of "twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, 
twelve o'clock"
And also included a super-geek dad saying "Anyone for more RAM?" while holding 
a fan of memory sticks up to a group of kids playing video games.  
We both remember parts of this commercial vividly, but are absolutely lost 
trying to remember what is was supposed to be advertising in the first place.

Sorry if my description of the commercial sucks, I've been having brain farts 
all day!

OT: WQL Where clause limitations

[Christopher Bodnar]

Can someone point me to an MS document that outlines the limitations of
AND, OR, or NOT operators in a Where clause in WQL ? I know that it
exists, and I found this:

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa392903%28VS.85%29.aspx

 

But it doesn't specify how to determine the limitation. It would be nice
to have this information as I'm building queries in SMS or SCCM. 

 

Thanks,

Re: Had to share this...

[Jeff Bunting]

I just got a (supposedly) brand new R900 a couple of weeks ago that had its
left side bent.  I'm talking about the reasonably thick metal faceplate that
screws into the rack bent 20-30 degrees.  The shipping box was undamaged, so
I can't imagine how it couldn't have come from the factory that way.  One
power supply was also DOA.  Coincidentally the adjustable zip tie attached
to this power supply had been cut off.  Think QC is slippin' somewhere...

RE: Mapping a drive, dependant on Group Membership

[Carl Houseman]

You are getting an errorlevel returned that is greater than 1, in which case
"if not errorlevel 1" is false.

 

Send the command output and errorlevel to a log file to see what is going
on.

 

ifmember "Domain\Group1" >%temp%\debug.log 2>&1

echo %errorlevel% >>%temp%\debug.log

Subject: Mapping a drive, dependant on Group Membership

 

Hi

 

I am trying to map a drive during a users logon using a logon script that
checks if the user is a member of a particular Windows Security Group.

I am trying to use the "ifmember" command but am failing miserably.

 

What we want the script to do is check if the user is a member of "Group1"
and if they are map a Drive to \\server\Group1$ 
folder.

 

These are the lines in the script that we are using

 

ifmember "Domain\Group1"

if not errorlevel 1 goto next

net use P: \\server\Group1$  

 

Whats happening is that the"ifmember" bit seems to be ignored and the drive
is being mapped for everyone.

 

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong or how to achieve what I am trying
to do.  The Ifmember.exe is in the netlogon folder.

 

Essentialy we have one folder that about 15 people need access to and we are
trying to map it during logon for ease of use by these people.

I have a critical software package that we are trying to migrate to a
new server. The video requirements are 256 colors and 8 bit video
settings. I am trying to go to a server 2003 R2 machine that has only
high color 16 bit. 

Is there any way to downgrade the video to 8 bit?  I know this is
stupid, but it is a critical application that is on a dying server now.
The software people are not interested in bringing their system into the
90s.

Re: [OT] (early) Friday funny... iPad

[Jonathan Link]

Pretty funny.  As an iPhone user (not an early adopter, picked it up 9
months after it was first released, after the app store debuted), I am
underwhelmed.  I understand the motivation for keeping the interface the
same, and I kinda like that idea, but make it more than a big iPhone.  There
just aren't enough plusses in my mind to make me jump at this.
I will say, the price is pretty nice, but not nice enough to make me go out
and buy one.  My next purchase was between a bandsaw for my shop or an
iPad.  The bandsaw is a clear winner now.

That got me the 8 bit low color. I will try a reboot and see if it
sticks, then have a user try to save a drawing and see. Thanks for that
tip!

If you go into "Display Properties", choose the "Advanced" button at the
bottom, then click the "Adapter" tab on the Properties window that comes
up, do you see the "List All Modes..." button at the bottom?  If so, can
you select the resolution at 256 colors that you're looking for?  It
worked on a machine I just tested it on, but I didn't test whether the
settings would survive a reboot, etc.

Does that flavor of server have the "Run in 256 color" option in the
