RE: Life just keeps getting better....
Overblown IMHO - the example is talking about loading bad kernel code - you need to be an admin to do that - on x64 systems the bad driver would have to be signed - the AV system should have picked up the bad code being placed onto the system prior to anyone executing it - I don't see how this bypasses signature based detection. It would only, potentially, bypass some kind of HIPS based protection.

Re: Anyone leaving their current AV and returning back to Symantec enterprise?
SEP increased my user logoff times on MPS 4.5 by about 30-40 seconds. Caused in my opinion by the problem a lot of AV vendors have - trying to be more than the end-user requires. Once I stopped installing the full-fat version and limited it to only AV and antispyware, it started behaving more like an antivirus product and less like a bloated, unnecessary suite of difficult-to-manage security products. I've since moved to Vipre and found it a lot easier, both in terms of installation, footprint, and maintenance. Having said that, I haven't been bitten by any of the FPs that came out lately either, but I am much happier with Sunbelt's product. However, seeing as though we have mandatory profiles, a very tight Group Policy implementation, application whitelisting and various other layers of security, our AV doesn't do much at all, bar catch the EICAR test strings we send out occasionally. On 9 May 2010 22:34, James Hill james.h...@superamart.com.au wrote: IMO SEP was a disaster when it was first released. It was supposed to fix the problems with the previous product (Symantec Corporate Edition, which I can remember having to completely renstall on every server we had as it wouldn't update anymore and that was Symantec's fix for the issue). We were an early adopter of Windows 2008 Server and SEP caused us massive pain. It broke shares left right and centre and would bring servers to a halt. It took about 3 releases from when the problem was identified before it was fixed. Of course each of those releases was claimed to fix the problem. This was just one of its issues. There were many. I swore black and blue when with my previous employer that I wouldn't touch Symantec AV again. Then I inherited it in my current job and I've been singing the same thing. Not to mention we also battle with some of their other products. Backup Exec (update a backup exec server and watch it stop the sql service on the sql server its database is on... too bad for the other databases on there) and Enterprise Vault provide their share of pain as well. Having said that, SEP has worked pretty well since MR5. Nothing major has broken for a while and it seems to stop all threats except for those Fake AV malwares (which many of the big players seem to struggle with). The management console is quite easy to use, there is a good amount of control over how defs are deployed. The group updater function is great(now that it finally works properly). To be honest it has been very solid for a while now but we will probably look at Microsoft's offering next time. -Original Message- From: justino garcia [mailto:jgarciaitl...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 10 May 2010 6:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anyone leaving their current AV and returning back to Symantec enterprise?

Remotely scheduling chkdsk /f
Hi chaps,. Does anyone know of a way that we can remotely force a workstation to run a full chkdsk on the next reboot? We have a variety of remote tools which can run scripts and edit this and that, but the issue we have is that we can't initiate chkdsk c: /f remotely as the script sits there wanting someone to press Y to tell it to run on the next reboot. Is there a way we can, perhaps, edit the boot files directly to tell them run a chkdsk c: /f? CHKDSK itself must be editing something to have it run at next reboot and I'm hoping we can edit this directly.

Re: Anyone leaving their current AV and returning back to Symantec enterprise?
Except that Microsoft has great OSes out concurrently with WinME, so you still had good options available from them. Symantec's products were simply crappy all the way through. They had to purchase SyGate's product to arrive at the not-quite-so-crappy-anymore product they have today. If you're happy with Symantec, then by all means continue to use them. No one has suggested that they have a 100% failure rate, or no-one would be using them. But enough of us have been burned enough times over a sufficient period of time to choose one of the many viable alternatives on the market. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 12:22 AM, HELP_PC g...@enter.it wrote: Is the same telling MS has crappy Oss when the last tried was Windows ME!| GuidoElia HELPPC -Messaggio originale- Da: Steven M.

Strangeness with Windows XP laptop
Here's the situation: I have a few laptops that I manage running XP Pro SP3. Last night (Sunday) one of my users called me at home saying he had been working on an important presentation and when he went to print it, he realized he didn't have his home printer installed, so he tried to hook up an old HP Inkjet he had at home. Then after installing the drivers, Windows said it needed to reboot and when he did, it all went south. The laptop would not let him log back in as it did not recognize his USERID and a friend of his (an IT Manager for a big telecom company which shall not be revealed) poked around and couldn't find his profile (on the d: drive) so they called me. I drove an hour into the office to meet him and I found the same thing. It wouldn't even recognize *my* profile. It gave me an error when I tried to log in that a Google search turned up a Microsoft article about too many security products installed. The error was 0x0035 NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS. The article gave a registry hack that should fix it if a hotfix was applied, prior to SP3. The same article stated that the hotfix was included in SP3, but it also said that if the hotfix was not installed, the registry hack would be ignored. It *did* allow me to log in as the local admin in safe mode, but would not let me log onto a domain account, even after the registry hack. I was also unable to pull up the installed programs list (add/remove programs) as the local admin in safe mode. I ended up wiping and reinstalling Windows. Office and Vipre Enterprise. I also had to format the D: drive as Windows said it was not formatted. Now one thing I haven't mentioned until now was that I had upgraded Vipre Enterprise from Vipre 3.x to Vipre 4 the previous week, and advised the user to restart his computer. He never got around to restarting it until Sunday evening after installing the HP printer driver. Any clue what could have happened?

RE: Anyone leaving their current AV and returning back to Symantec enterprise?
Look the original poster asked who was running SAV and their experience. I gave my experience for SAV, and for SEP, and called them out separately. We are running both, and I've disclosed to what extent my experience with SEP is limited by time. This is nothing at all like only running WinME and opting to comment on Win2K without having touched it.

Re: Strangeness with Windows XP laptop
Short version: User has admin rights. Long version: Modelel of the printer is missing, users need to be trained to restart when Vipre or Windows tells them to restart. Instructing them on the consequences of failing to do the restart when requested is just as important. Lastly, employees should not allow IT people not from your company to touch the laptop. You have no idea of what he did, and even if he told you what he did, he likely forgot something unless he was taking notes while he was doing it. There's a huge black hole of missing information that can only be filled in by speculation, or someone who has the same exact printer and also underwent the vipre upgrade and proceeded to ignore the restart warning that it is unlikely you'll have a (satisfactory) answer.

RE: Strangeness with Windows XP laptop
Thanks. That's kind of what I thought. When I rebuilt the laptop, I did NOT add the user to the local admins group, so hopefully this won't happen again. I just find it strange that the D: drive was showing up as unformatted. About the only thing I could attribute this to was some sort of fatal interaction between Vipre and the Embassy Trust Suite which may have been installed on there originally, but why it would ONLY affect the D: drive, I don't know. In any case, I guess we can chalk this up as resolved but still have lots of questions. Note that I did NOT authorize the friend to look at the laptop. The user took it upon himself to do this.

Wireless Routers
This weekend, I spent about 4 hours working at a client's site (side job) trying to get their desktop to link up to their existing wireless router (Netgear.) I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys.

RE: Wireless Routers
Just a quick response to your Anti-Netgear attitude. I've had 2 Netgear WIFI's and they both work just fine. When I moved up to a Rangemax, I gave my old one to a friend and he reports no problems. Oh, that was more than 2 years ago. I've worked on other brands at work, but I'm very happy with my Netgear.I highly recvommend them. BTW, when friends and relatives come over with laptops, we have no problems connecting, and some of these people have MAC's. I'm using WPA2 and I always have radio broadcast turned off.

RE: Wireless Routers
I'm pretty sure the Netgear was an 802.11G router. The Dell laptop has a Dell Wireless Dual-Band WLAN card in it (on-board.) The Desktop machine had an Edimax EX-7128G 802.11 b/g card installed. Once I got the Linksys in, it connected right up and even got an IP address. Not to mention that the client said his Vista laptop had problems getting onto the internet that morning wirelessly. I've had problems with Netgear wireless routers before and that's part of the reason I will refuse to use Netgear wireless routers in the future. Wired, sure. Wireless, no.

RE: Wireless Routers
I had a similar experience with trouble shooting a friend's home network. She had a Netgear set up that was about a year and half old that included a router and additional access point. Nothing I did would get the Netgear to keep a consistent connection; including pushing the reset button(s). Changed to Linksys and everything came up fine.

RE: Wireless Routers
Geek Squad should not set these things up! If they do, they have no business leaving before confirming that the end user connects and gets IP settings, etc from it. (I don't believe they do this stuff for free, either.) Most of these things come with default settings wide-open, broadcasting SSID, no encryption, etc. It is highly desirable to go with a more secure set of security measures offered by the device.

I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys.

RE: Wireless Routers
As to the channel in use, 1,6 11 are the recommended channels for all wifi, but I've used all of them at one time or another. It seems that some of the newer wif's search for a quiet channel if there are a lot of units nearby. I have a dozen neighbors in my area that have wifi and several are always changing channels. I've been using 9 since that one ie rarely ever being switched to or being used at all. BTW, I'm using Inssider software to monitor my area. I've never noticed any difference among the channels, but I just prefer to be alone on a channel.

I can't remember if we changed from channel 11 to 8, or 8 to 11 , but you get the idea. Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

She had a Netgear set up that was about a year and half old that included a router and additional access point. Nothing I did would get the Netgear to keep a consistent connection; including pushing the reset button(s). Changed to Linksys and everything came up fine.

The Dell laptop has a Dell Wireless Dual-Band WLAN card in it (on-board.) The Desktop machine had an Edimax EX-7128G 802.11 b/g card installed. Once I got the Linksys in, it connected right up and even got an IP address. Not to mention that the client said his Vista laptop had problems getting onto the internet that morning wirelessly.

RE: Wireless Routers
Yeah. in this case I'd been messing with it for a couple hours, trying to get everything to connect and when he said he'd had problems connecting to the internet wirelessly on his laptop that morning, that was the final straw. In the future, I'm not going to take as much time to reach that decision. If I have any problems connecting to it, I'll recommend a new router. The customer told me that the Netgear had cost over $100 brand new. 'Course part of that was probably Geek Squad setting it up.

This particular model of Netgear had a history of PS problems but the refurbs came with the 'fixed' PS. Regarding troubleshooting, a factory reset (using the pushbutton) followed by firmware upgrade should be attempted before tossing them in the trash.

It seems most are only good for about 18-24 months and then need to be replaced. I do like the Linksys GUI best but that's probably just because I'm more familiar with it. But for $50, it's not worth the time to mess with them if a simple reset doesn't allow you to connect. Die dulci fruere!

Re: BB Email Delays
Assuming this BES and BE server are separated by a WAN link, you may be running into a common problem with the BES product. RIM usually recommends that the BES is as close to the mailbox as possible. The latency between the BES and the mailbox can prevent the UDP messages from reaching the BES messaging agent in a timely manner so mail isn't picked up and delivered to the handset in real time. The 20 minute delay is the manual mailbox reconciliation process that the BES runs to catch any mail that is missed. See this link in the RIM KB for an explanation of latency impact - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKCdocType=kcexternalId=KB14139sliceId=SAL_PublicdialogID=53728817stateId=0%200%2027577931 and this one for debugging steps - http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/7979/1181821/278286/745137/Capacity_Planning_and_Performance_Tuning_for_Environments_Using_the_BlackBerry_Enterprise_Solution.pdf?nodeid=973626 On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 10:45 AM, Roger Wright rhw...@gmail.com wrote: Our BES server is located in the parent office where the Exchange 2003 FE server resides and the Exchange BE server is in our local office.

Re: BB Email Delays
The BES and BE servers are connected over a WAN link. What confuses us, though, is this delay just started about 10 days ago. Prior to that the messages would sometimes hit my BB a second or two before they'd appear in my Outlook folders. I know, I know... what changed? That's what I'm trying to determine... Perhaps a BE server reboot is in order. Die dulci fruere!

Adding New 2003 DC, DNS, WINs, DHCP Server
Good morning/afternoon, Windows 2003 AD I've been tasked with replacing one of our DCs with new hardware. This DC also services WINs, DNS, DHCP. I'm trying to determine the best order of operations. I thought I came across some information that recommended the installation/configuration of WINs and DHCP services prior to promoting the machine to a domain controller. Can someone confirm that? Also, with specific regards to WINs: Would it be preferable to install WINs and set it up as a push/pull partner or simply migrate the WINs database from the old server to the new. One benefit to adding it as a push/pull partner is that I will be able to modify all of the clients that are currently configured to reference the old server at my own pace. If I migrate the database, I'm worried that I'll need to update all of the clients a lot sooner or risk wierd issue related to netbios. All clients are configured with a secondary WINs server reference but I concerned about the reliability of that config if the primary WINs server was unavailable for an extended period of time. I guess I'm just looking for opinions based on personal experiences. Thanks in advance. - Sean ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Conversely, if you're trying to get other work done, having only 10-20% of system resources available to you likely isn't going to be enough. I think what you're really looking for is lower priority. If the system has nothing else to do, might as well use it to make the AV get done quicker. But if the system has anything else to do, put resources towards that, and make the AV wait. Yah?
