Systemstate restore to Vmware VM
Hi chaps, I'm having probs with a restore of an old win2k box to a vmware VM. The box is an old web server which is veryerrr..old. Its a P3, 256Mb, 20GB HD, Win2k box. The disks are nearly max'd out completely and there is no more space or the ability to add more (the ISP no longer supports this range and wants to turn it off). We've got a VM setup and have restored the data to it, but when we restore the systemstate and then reboot, the VM stops responding to input. We cant control the mouse or keyboard, or send it instructions via the menu options in Vmware (ctl+alt+del etc). However the VM drive light does occasionally flicker as though the VM itself is running and eventually a screensaver appears in the VM window. Any ideas how I can get the VM to continue to respond after the systemstate restore ?

Re: Server 2008 R2 changes
Within the same subnet. We only have 1/3 of the subnet in the pool but used to have reservations outside of it. In 2003 and 2008 you could put reservations outside the dynamic area, in 2008R2 that is now denied with the error The specified DHCP client is not a reserved host. If you import an existing database using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281626 you still get the message trying to edit an exiting reservation not in the dynamic area.

Re: SBS2008 backup is there something similar available for 2008 R2
Ok Sounds good, Will have a look. the SBS 2008 backup is amazing, with the full system to one disk then differentials from there. And the price is excellent as well.

Backup Solutions
Hi All, I have a client looking for a backup solution for their company laptops. The laptops are taken off site regularly and they want them backed up once they come back onto the company network. This should be an automatic process. They're not looking for a job that runs at 3AM and gets the backups if they're online or not. Rather something that runs the moment the laptop is connected to the docking station/internal network. Any thoughts? I don't normally run backups in this manner.

Either a schedule backup if using Vista/7 or maybe a startup script should do the trick. I personally like the scheduled backup but the data space gets a bit much.

RE: Backup Solutions
Retrospect will do exactly what you describe. Proactive backup is what they call it. You say - I want laptops backed up every X days/hours/minutes and it will back them up when they are visible on the network. If they miss their window they start backing up within 2 minutes of being visible on the network. You can have it tell the user if they haven't been backed in X days too so if they are out of the office for a long time they can at least be warned that they aren't being backed up.

Windows Installer, opportunistic locking and the Netlogon share
I recently had a problem in which applications assigned through group policy were not installing on some computers, which turned out to be a combination of the fact that I stored the apps in the NETLOGON share, and also had disabled opportunistic locking on the failing computers. This is in a Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2 environment. My question is: When I finish upgrading all of our locations to Windows 2008 R2, with still almost all XP SP3 clients, will I run into a similar problem if I put the application's .msi files in a DFSR share as I had with the 2003 NETLOGON share? I'm not sure what is unique about the NETLOGON share that causes this problem, and wondering if it has to do with being part of a DFS with replication share also. Thanks for any insight.

RE: Opening 2+ Gig PST files
I've recently used this software sucessfully. You can download a version which will allow you to test on your PST file so you will be pretty sure it will work. It's also about a third the price of the other one mentioned recently. Link below... It creates another .PST file to handle the 2GB overflow. The MS tool just truncates a bunch off the tail of the file to make it 2GB. Although my system was patched with SP1 ( which is supposed to prevent Outlook from exceeding the 2GB max) it didn't matter. Not only does it exceed the 2GB limit but it also seems to corrupt the .PST file. The MS SCANPST tool doesn't work on it once it's 2GB. It also recovered all my latest email. The only annoying part was that it recreates the folder structure in it's entirety in both new .PST files. I had to traverse the folder tree in the 2nd file manually looking for recent emails so I could move them to a single PST file after I cleaned enough space http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Microsoft-Outlook-Mail-Recovery.html?gcli d=CIyZkqbI958CFdRM5Qodb2ecfg Be sure to make a copy ( I made multiple copies ) before you start messing with repair tools :-) Good luck, Joe Morlino j...@islandscomputer.com Islands Computer Services Beaufort, SC -Original Message- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 1:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Opening 2+ Gig PST files I can't seem to get that site to load.

Hi Andrew, We've gotten rid of tape using this system: http://www.high-rely.com/HR3/includes/TandemDXR/TandemDXR.php I can't tell on the unit's you've linked to, but this mirrors the two drives, so you pull out one for off-site, while the other drive remains online. The mirroring is done inside the box, so when you plug in the old drive returning from off-site, it automatically syncs up with the source drive. Anyway, I'm very happy to be rid of tape...

RE: Removable SATA backups
I mentioned the big one - it's vss/block based instead of file based. The major thing this means is that (just like a tape), you hand off an entire drive (or two or three...however many you need to maintain your rotation and generational coverage) to WSB and it manages the contents. You don't touch the drive as a filesystem. All of your access to the drive (just like a tape) is through the backup media. However, you can have dozens/hundreds of generations of a file on a single backup drive. Because the backup is block based - just like VSS. It takes snapshots and copies the differential snapshot (more or less). It isn't file based. The higher your disk churn the fewer generations you can store on a given drive. For most of my smaller (read that as: SBS) clients, I have two 1 TB drives, one onsite and one offsite and I rotate them weekly. This is one of the backup options that Microsoft DPM has, and I know recent versions of BackupExec/NetBackup support it too. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Removable SATA backups
We've only just started to move clients to Disk and as most of our clients are SBS it works really well. Unlike tape it is more difficult to keep snapshots as an archive, so it becomes a backup and recovery device. Once they start giving away 64Gb data sticks at conferences we'll start using them. Remember that if you want to do traditional rotations then 10 USB dives is a lot more expensive than 10 Tapes. We use the built in software as it works well and reports in simple language to the on-site staff if there is an issue (if they get to it before us!). We have considered using VHD's for the storage media, and I know some people who use that on an external device along with a virtualised environment. One downside is that until SBS supports VHD mounting (it's still the 2008 kernel) then it puts a few extra steps into a recovery which would increase the restore time considerably.

rpc over https user problem
Hello all... I've installed a new Exchange 2003 box and I'm in the process of moving users over to the new one. All is going well but for one user. I've moved his mailbox and he can get to his email box fine. When I try to configure him for rpc, I get a repeating login screen. Accessing OWA over the internet is fine too. All other rpc users have been connecting fine since I moved their mailboxes. Google didn't come up with anything specific to this problem. Any ideas on what could be wrong? He has XP pro with Outlook 2007. Thanks for any tips! Bill Lambert Windows System Administrator Concuity A healthcare division of Trintech, Inc.

RE: Removable SATA backups
Installed in sleds. The sleds, apparently, make the drives much more robust in regards to dropping, etc. (http://www.high-rely.com/HR3/includes/test.php). The list on the Tandem DXR is $685. They don't sell empty sleds, at least they aren't listed on their web. A 250 GB drive starts at $118 and the price goes up to $321 for a 2 TB drive. The drives in my sleds are all 1TB Hitachi Deskstars. Don't know about what they put in other sizes. Anyway, if I had too, I could simple unscrew a drive from a sled and plug it in internally into a workstation or server and be able to do a recovery.

No blanks? Same dirty techniques as HP, tried to jack us for more money by telling me there was no such SKU for an empty sled. Which was bull.
