RE: National broadband
I always wonder the same thing.

DPM help
Running DPM 2007 here backing up to a Drobo PRO iscsi box.
So far it has worked well.
Last weekend we had a power outage and things didn't shutdown properly.
I've got a DC and Exchange backups that wont run now.
I get VSS error on the DPM server that says to clear the VSS error and
run chkdsk.
When I try to clear the VSS error or re-run the job, I get the same
error.
Chkdsk /x \\?\Volume{89e268c7-..}
file:///\\%3f\Volume%7b89e268c7-..%7d
Gives error, cannot open volume for direct access. Does this mean my
syntax for the volume name is incorrect or what?
Chkdsk /x is supposed to dismount the volume and run, but it doesn't.
I've stopped all DPM services and still can't get chkdsk to run.
Also, disk management MMC, find volume in the sea of volumes, tools,
chkdsk doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?

RE: 1gbps+ traffic?
The infrastructure and technology have always been there. It's only been a matter of what was available for consumers. The ISP's control the bottleneck. As I mentioned in the National Broadband thread, my ISP is ATT. A year ago their max speed was 16Mbps. A year later their max speed is 24Mbps. ATT didn't go out and remove all of their fiber for new, faster fiber in a year. They control what speeds go where, thusly they control their profits. Just as they tried to charge for upload and download limits, which could still go into affect even though it originally bombed, they have the capability of manipulating the infrastructure to provide price points based on upgrade sales and promises of increased speeds.

Unfortunately Windstream deems a static IP to be part of a business plan and wants me to pay over $100 / month just for DSL (NOT counting voice services, etc) for 3 useable static IPs (5 total, IIRC -- 2 of the 5 are for their use - one for the modem, I think and one for the broadcast.) -Original Message- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 9:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: National broadband Talking about no-brainers...

RE: 1gbps+ traffic?
As I mentioned in the National Broadband thread, my ISP just doubled the bandwidth on the basic DSL that I subscribe to to 6 Mbit/sec. For about $5 more, I can get 12. I don't really need *that* much bandwidth, and as I'm somewhat on a budget (pay cut back around Thanksgiving 2008 - I was thankful then and am now that I still have a job, so I don't gripe too much, but it's taking it's toll on our finances!) I decided just to keep paying the same amount and upgrade my service to 6 Mbit. However, as you note, I doubt they went out and spent a whole bunch of money on upgrading hardware to give us that capability, more likely they saw that their competition (two competitors in the city, but only one competitor in my rural area) was offering and realized they had to offer more bandwidth or risk losing customers.

ATT didn't go out and remove all of their fiber for new, faster fiber in a year. They control what speeds go where, thusly they control their profits. Just as they tried to charge for upload and download limits, which could still go into affect even though it originally bombed, they have the capability of manipulating the infrastructure to provide price points based on upgrade sales and promises of increased speeds. This has been going on for years. Jay Dale I.T.

Re: National broadband
IT geeks are not typical of the end user. Many of home users use the one supplied by their ISP. A few will have hotmail/yahoo/google accounts as well but their primary would be their ISP account. The economy may push more home users to switch to using a free account as the pain balance begins to push toward changing. Most people only want to change once. If they switch to their free account then the pain of changing has an entirely different balance point.

Re: National broadband
Central Florida/Lakeland. I was originally told, in December 2008, that they were slowing up the roll out due to the economy. Since we are very rural they did not want to spend the money when they were NOT getting the sales they were hoping for. That was per their sales people. Since then it seems that the same people, their sales people, have changed their tune. They were getting upset as it became apparent that it was more where they were rolling out the service that was causing low sales. They pushed out service into areas that did not already have copper in place. Verizon was not rolling out the service into more developed areas or older/established neighborhoods. You can't sell if there are no homes/people to sell to. I have not seen any new work being done in a lot of my area since December 2008. The only work I do see is when the state/county begins to work on the roads and Verizon is very quick to get out and mark where their fiber is. Jon On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 10:31 AM, Steven M.

Re: National broadband
I read lots of comments here about this subsidizing the poor. Maybe it will, but I also think it will help those that live too far from the telco. My sister owns a small ranch in rural Missouri. She's not some corporate farmer, nor is she living in a McMansion on the outskirts of an urban area. She has dial up, and that's all that is available. If this were 70 years ago she wouldn't even have electricty, because it didn't pay to run those electric lines to every small farm in America. I don't see this as any different. The telcos will never make back their investment running broadband down that country road. She'll do without until something like national broadband comes along.

RE: 1gbps+ traffic?
ISPs have to buy bandwidth to allow for user demands. The fiber may have been there but likely they had to upsize circuits and routers to support the new speeds. This would be very similar to say your users concluding everything is the same if they had say a 1Gb storage restriction and unknown to them you increased your disk capacity which enabled you to raise the restriction to 2 Gb so obviously the former restriction wasn’t needed.

It’s only been a matter of what was available for consumers. The ISP’s control the bottleneck. As I mentioned in the National Broadband thread, my ISP is ATT. A year ago their max speed was 16Mbps. A year later their max speed is 24Mbps. ATT didn’t go out and remove all of their fiber for new, faster fiber in a year. They control what speeds go where, thusly they control their profits. Just as they tried to charge for upload and download limits, which could still go into affect even though it originally bombed, they have the capability of manipulating the infrastructure to provide price points based on upgrade sales and promises of increased speeds.

RE: National broadband
Since you mention the distance from the equipment, I have some input on that. With ATT DSL, their fastest speed is 6Mbps, and that's known as Elite speed. I had that installed when it became available and my actual thruput per speedtesting was around 4.4. Then it slowed to 3.6 after several months. I called to complain and they sent a tech out to trouble shoot. His response was that I was nearly 9000 feet from the central office and that was too far and it should never have been installed. He told me he was going to adjust my speed down to the next speed which was the Pro speed or 3 Mbps. He didn't ask, he just went and did it. He came back in my house and we checked the speed and it was now 2.5, yet I had been getting 3.5, so logic says I should have been able to get at least 3.0. I inquired as to an alternative and he told me to call the Uverse dept. They told me that if I got Uverse 6.0, I would probably get 5.6 to 5.8 speed. I think I may have mentioned that they wouldn't install the modem on the second floor of my house where the DSL modem is located, Then I called into ATT customer service who told me that the tech was correct, I was too far from the central office for the Elite speed. Now I'm pissed off because I was getting higher speed and for only $5 per month more. Well a week or so later, I had to talk to ATT on another subject, and of course at the end of the conversation, the customer service lady goes into sales mode. She told me that I could have the Elite speed for just $5 more per month. I told her that a Uverse person told me I was too far away. Then she says she will speed me up to Elite speed but it will take 48 hours. Two days later, I'm back at 3.5 Mbps. Now, a question for anyone who may have the knowledge. If I'm unable to get the 6.0 speed on DSL, how come I can get it if I get Uverse. Yes, I know that they use fibre optic cable to the street curb, but then it's just standard cable going to my house. So, can anyone explain the difference to me?

Most people will not change just because they can. There has to be a difference greater than the pain to change will cause. How many people like to notify all of their contants that their email address has changed? I see it all the time but most will not change unless the pain to stay gets to be more than the pain to change.

Eventually, the cable company started offering faster access for the same price. Do you think the local telco lowered their DSL rates, though? Nope. I guess they figured folks would keep paying the same price for slower speeds. They recently filed for bankruptcy protection. -Original Message- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 9:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: National broadband Well, just checked and my ISP has 6 Mbit internet available for the same price I'm paying for 3 Mbit.

Re: * Survey: Video Games In The Workplace
Real stupid question but do you mean real video games or ones that run on PC's?

RANT: ISP on-line orders
Ok, so this morning I ordered an upgrade to my DSL to 6 Mbit and I logged in as an existing user, but it still required me to select either a DSL modem or a wireless router and I had to call customer service to ask that they NOT send me a free (after $50 rebate) modem. I wouldn't have minded a wireless router as I would like wireless at home, but I'm not prepared to pay $50 to my ISP when for $5 more I can buy it direct from NewEgg and get free shipping. J Still.what idiot makes you order a new modem when you already have service??? Someone needs to fix the website so that when you log in as an existing DSL customer they don't make you choose like that!

Win2008 - importing PRINTMIG CAB file from Win2003?
I have a Win2003 server that I use as a print server. We define printers; share them out; and I save the set of printers, drivers, etc, using PRINTMIG, which makes me a nice little CAB file that I can restore anywhere, in case of disaster or upgrade. Or so I thought ... I now need to replace that server with a Win2008 R2 server (since I need to hand out 32bit and 64bit versions of the drivers, and it seems that adding a 64bit driver to a 32bit OS for handing out, isn't supported, I am told), performing the same roles. I've read that Win2008 has a built in tool called PRINTBRM, which should do what I need it to do (I think - I haven't found a specific example of transferring printers from Win2003 to Win2008 with it yet). I can't seem to find it on my Win2008. Do I need to install the Printer role (Print and Document Services) first? I am a bit leery to do that, as it says to migrate printers, I must first move them to a Vista machine, and I have none of those .. We still use the archaic CON2PRT in GP login scripts to install printers. I plan on modernizing things, but one step at a time ... SO: how can I copy my list of printers from my Win2003 server to my Win2008 server? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
