Bummer...I have a copy of the v11 stuff, so that should be no problem to reinstall. It's a shame because the v12 agent is actually a big improvement in my eyes. As are a lot of features in Xen6.

Re: Citrix client
Thanks for the info. I have the v11 client here, but if you could find the application that was written by a Citrix staff member to replace the full PN client, that would be great. It would be nice to have my custom ICA files for testing and still be able to use the funky new Desktop Viewer. Now to try and convince our thin client manufacturer to update their support for the v12 online plugin :-) Thanks, JRR On 24 March 2010 12:15, Webster carlwebs...@gmail.com wrote: What is called the “full” Program Neighborhood, as opposed to the Program Neighborhood Agent, was dropped as of client version 11.1. PNAgent has also been renamed. Citrix NEVER intended the full PN client to be used the way that many people use it. It was designed for admins to use for troubleshooting Citrix farm issues. As I am sure you are aware, updating changes or additions to the full PN client is a complete PITA. Trying to make a change or changes or deletions or additions to the INI file for 1000s of network clients is not for the faint of heart. This is one of the leading causes of calls to Citrix support. Which is why Citrix removed it. Why load up support staff with extra work because admins are using a product in a way it was not intended. If you listen to Citrix marketing, the preferred client access methods are: Streaming Online Offline The preferred interface for all of this is the Web Interface – NOT – the full PN client. A Citrix employee has written a replacement for the full PN Client. I can find that for you if you can’t.

OT: Internet issues (RANT)
Ok.some of y'all may recall I ordered an upgrade to my DSL last week. Well, Monday morning, everything was working fine, but yesterday after I got to work, I was unable to SSH to my linux box at home and when I got home, my DSL wasn't working. So I called tech support and they were no help. Finally they sent out a technician yesterday and upgraded my modem (thinking that was the issue since my speed had doubled, maybe the modem couldn't handle the upgrade.) I got home, and the modem was connected, but I still couldn't get online, even with the brand new router I bought yesterday. So I called up Windstream (my ISP) tech support again and went over the router configs with them. That's when I discovered they stopped using PPPOE on the modems. Wondering how long this has been going on and why they didn't tell me! *sigh* Now I've got to figure out a way to connect back to my LAN at home.strictly for testing purposes, of course.

Re: Decide on the Future of Microsoft on-box Help
I not saying that it's a trivial exercise, but I am saying that I would even deal with them switching to a format that was more similar to the online format if that made it easier for them to produce it, because it needs to be available offline as well. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 9:29 AM, Michael B.

Re: Decide on the Future of Microsoft on-box Help
I happen to like where the tools are now, even if it takes some getting used to. Some of the previous decisions were not so good, so change is better. More importantly, I hope they get better about choosing the correct place for all upcoming tools such that the need for change over time is diminished. I'm liking how things have turned out, and hope that they don't change too much going forward. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Maglinger, Paul pmaglin...@scvl.comwrote: There would be less of a need for help if Microsoft would stop moving the tools around. *From:* Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshin...@tacteam.net] *Sent:* Wednesday, March 24, 2010 7:25 AM *To:* NT System Admin Issues *Subject:* Decide on the Future of Microsoft on-box Help Hey guys, What do you think of on-box help?

Changing your own network to another in the DHCP section of the WRT will obviously sort that.

RE: Internet issues (RANT)
I'm wondering if we're getting mixed up between the internal (LAN) side and the external public side. What's a traceroute from your PC behind the router show? In my case, the first hop is the LAN side of the router on the 192.168.1.x ip range, but the second hop is a publically accessible IP address that may change from time to time (it's apparently a DHCP-assigned public address). That second, publically addressable IP address is the one you'd point to from the outside, and set up your router to NAT or otherwise pass through the traffic to the Linux box.

RE: Internet issues (RANT)
Well, I have a no-ip account and I've got the script running on my machine at home keeping it updated and I can't SSH into my machine at that IP. Plus, when I look at my router at home, I see that the internet side of things is using a non-routeable IP.

Server 2008 R2 event log limits thoughts
So we have a brand new 2008 R2 server. This will be a file server. Our current 2003 SP2 file server has file auditing on, but was disabled due to NewForma Project Center. This is a unique software for architectural firms that integrates with yet another special piece of software for architectural firms . . . Deltek Vision which is our billing system. To summarize NewForma, it constantly accesses the files and indexes them. All the frikin time. That's why I had to disable file auditing. There would be 10 bazillion entries from NewForma and then one user entry in the security log . . . and with the limits on 2003 event log size, we got about 8-12 hours of auditing. Now with 2008 R2 I can audit only certain users/groups. So I can exclude (I think) this domain service account from auditing (sweet!). I plan on once again, auditing file access by the users. I plan on seeing how much logging is generated and then adjusting the max log size accordingly. With the improvements in the event logging system(s) in 2008 R2 in mind, any thoughts or reco's on this?

There would be 10 bazillion entries from NewForma and then one user entry in the security log . . . and with the limits on 2003 event log size, we got about 8-12 hours of auditing. Now with 2008 R2 I can audit only certain users/groups. So I can exclude (I think) this domain service account from auditing (sweet!). I plan on once again, auditing file access by the users. I plan on seeing how much logging is generated and then adjusting the max log size accordingly. With the improvements in the event logging system(s) in 2008 R2 in mind, any thoughts or reco's on this?

How would you go about this?
I have a file server that has gone above 1 TB. When I first came here to the museum a few years ago (8), they had 33 gigs of data on one server. I brought in file tape backups until last year when the backup went out of that range. I always used SCSI RAIDs but even now that is a bit high. So I have ordered a new file server with six HD openings. I am figuring a pair of 10,000-rpm 150 or 300 gig HDs for the OS, I can go Server 03 or 08, figuring on 08. I would back up one with the other. Then for data, two 2TBS backed up for the main data and two 1.5 or less for other data, also backed up. Then I could/would backup to external 2TB drives for longevity. What thinkist thee? Is there another way I should go? Data here will continue to increase at the same rate... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
OT: FIber Question
All: It's been ions since I've worked with Fiber and I'm stuck off-site trying to figure something out and could use some feedback. We ran Multi-Mode 62.5 Microns 6 strand fiber between two remote locations. At each location is a 3com 4500 switch which has a dual-personality SFP slot and a SC 1000BASE-SFX Transeiver plugged-in and recognized by the switches. Specifically this transceiver: http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=featurespathtype=purchasesku=3CSFP91 The fiber runs (not my doing) were run with LC connectors and the switch supports SC only. I've purchased a single LC-SC patch cable and have it plugged up on both ends, but no dice. I'm not sure if i'm forgetting a fundamental connection requirement with MMF, but hoping a few of you could shed some light. I've copied a link to the image of the Fiber termination in my rack at the bottom of this email. There are 3 LC connections in the picture. I have a LC/LC patch connected between, for this discussion, the LC1 and LC3 while LC2 is connected into the switch via the LC/SC patch. This connection topology is mirrored on the remote side and no dice. I figure to connect the LC cables from LC1 to LC3 to complete the loop, per se. I've tried direct connections from all LC ports into the switch without the rest of the cables connected and nothing happens. e.g. I can't ping any devices on the either side and i don't see an activity light on the switchport (FYI ports have been set as trunk ports and permitting all vlans) http://s396.photobucket.com/albums/pp44/sipe3202/Tech/?action=viewcurrent=IMG00086-20100324-1340.jpg Cheers, Harry ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: OT: FIber Question
Have your tried flipping one of the patch cables so that what was on the right is now on the left?

I've tried direct connections from all LC ports into the switch without the rest of the cables connected and nothing happens. e.g. I can't ping any devices on the either side and i don't see an activity light on the switchport (FYI ports have been set as trunk ports and permitting all vlans) http://s396.photobucket.com/albums/pp44/sipe3202/Tech/?action=viewcurrent=IMG00086-20100324-1340.jpg Cheers, Harry ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: OT: FIber Question
BTW if that does not work I would consider having the ends checked to verify that it is not the cable itself.

We ran Multi-Mode 62.5 Microns 6 strand fiber between two remote locations. At each location is a 3com 4500 switch which has a dual-personality SFP slot and a SC 1000BASE-SFX Transeiver plugged-in and recognized by the switches. Specifically this transceiver: http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=featurespathtype=purchasesku=3CSFP91 The fiber runs (not my doing) were run with LC connectors and the switch supports SC only. I've purchased a single LC-SC patch cable and have it plugged up on both ends, but no dice. I'm not sure if i'm forgetting a fundamental connection requirement with MMF, but hoping a few of you could shed some light. I've copied a link to the image of the Fiber termination in my rack at the bottom of this email. There are 3 LC connections in the picture.

Re: How would you go about this?
If you could virtualize the file server on to a big 2008 based server then you could try using the image backup within 2008 to backup the virtual machine to disk. 2 TB USB drives are not that expensive but any good USB or share based drive system would work a little smoother for you. As the file server grows you could continue to either decide to switch it to a SAN or NAS with a built in backup. Your shares would not truely change as the server is virtual with the files off the server.

When I first came here to the museum a few years ago (8), they had 33 gigs of data on one server. I brought in file tape backups until last year when the backup went out of that range. I always used SCSI RAIDs but even now that is a bit high. So I have ordered a new file server with six HD openings. I am figuring a pair of 10,000-rpm 150 or 300 gig HDs for the OS, I can go Server 03 or 08, figuring on 08. I would back up one with the other. Then for data, two 2TBS backed up for the main data and two 1.5 or less for other data, also backed up. Then I could/would backup to external 2TB drives for longevity. What thinkist thee? Is there another way I should go? Data here will continue to increase at the same rate... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
