Re: Weird folder redirection issue

[James Rankin]

I was thinking along the same sort of lines - there are an awful lot of
issues linked to users needing Full Control on profile folders. The problem
is once I grant Full Control they start removing and adding stuff from the
standard desktop. I might have to have a rethink of my strategy :-(

 down to the fact that the Desktop is really part of the profile, which
 requires full control.  So for example, if the folder is redirected to
 \\stafffiles\stafffolder\, it should create the desktop folder
 underneath.  If either the share or NTFS permissions are not full control,
 it can’t create the desktop folder or files within it and the entire
 redirection process fails.  Just thinking this might be what is happening in
 your case.  Maybe something specific to the permissions those users have?



 BTW, the above stuff for us is all XP and WS03—we’ll have to test things
 out still with W7.

 I have configured Start Menu and Desktop redirection to a shared area on a
 fileserver via GPO. The idea is that the shortcuts for all our applications
 sit in this shared area, and the NTFS permissions on the shortcuts control
 what users can see/use. This seems to be working quite well - however, for
 one or two users, I get the error shown below when they log on

 [image: redirection.JPG]

 This only seems to happen on certain terminal servers (the users are
 logging in via Citrix XenApp), but whenever I try to recreate it with a test
 user, it works fine. Google is not showing me very many hints - has anyone
 seen this before, or have any idea what is causing it?

the drives would idle the heads in a single track.  Under typical home luser

tweak the firmware to occasionally move the actuator arm, even when idle.

  Some HDD models are marked for media use, like in DVRs.  What they do is

Typical hard drives will keep retrying, often for several seconds.
For a Word document, that's what you want, but for streaming media, it's more

Re: mid-tower cases

[Don Kuhlman]

Wow - what timing for this thread. A family member just brought his HP over. Said itjust died one day with a popping sound. I checked it out and had to replace the power supply. While looking inside the thing, you couldn't even see through the heat sink fins under the fan due to solidified dust build up. The thing smells like the inside of a vacuum cleaner bag ;) I believe this one fried it's power supply and is running hot due to the dirt blocking airflow.
Anyway, the moral of the post is that I would definitely suggest you clean the dust out if it's built up in there.

RE: Weird folder redirection issue

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Yeah-the way we got around that was to implement an extremely restrictive quota 
(WS03 R2+ has FSRM built in, schema extensions for R2 required.) on that 
folder.  It's not perfect, but does a pretty good job of keeping things clean.

First use the FSRM tool to see how much space it is using, and then start 
locking down until nothing can be added.  IIRC, 100kb is a good starting point, 
but I think you can go smaller, depending on how much stuff you are putting up 
there.  When we used this method with kids a few years back we left room to 
create a few shortcuts, and that was it.

Re: Cannot access shares on a server

[James Rankin]

I can remember an instance many years ago where share and NTFS permissions
on one of our file servers simply stopped working. I remember applying the
latest Windows Service Pack to fix this (IIRC, it was Windows NT4 SP5, and
it contained some sort of NTFS update).

In these situations where perms seem to be not behaving as intended, I'd be
tempted to install all the latest updates and/or reinstall the file server
role.

RE: DNS Issues

Nothing on either. 

In the DHCP logs it shows 32,05/19/10,16:59:01,DNS Update Successful but
it is not correct.  We looked through the DNS servers and saw one
machine we are having problems listed correctly in the Reverse Lookup
Zone but not the Forward Lookup Zone.

In WINS it is also correct.  

We just ran SolarWinds DNS Audit on one of the subnets and it is a MESS.

RE: DNS Issues

Looking in the SolarWinds DNS Audit we have several IP addresses with
multiple machines showing under the Reverse Resolve IP - Domain Name
field.  In the one subnet I am looking at there are probably 15 IP
addresses that are showing this.  Anywhere from 2 to 5 machines are
showing up.

  Define special.

  The HDA (hard disk assembly) and PCB (printed circuit board) are almost 
certainly the same as you would get if you bought a similar spec'ed drive from 
Wal-Mart.

  Some Dell drives have firmware which identifies themselves as Dell, thus 
allowing them to work with Dell RAID controllers which refuse anything else.

  Some enterprise hard disk drives have tweaked firmware, supposedly to 
optimize them for enterprise usage.  Exactly how much, if any, benefit 
there is to such tweaks is a subject of considerable debate.

  Firmware tweaks *can* make a difference.  Examples:

  One of the reported problems in the infamous IBM DeathStar debacle was that 
the drives would idle the heads in a single track.  Under typical home luser 
usage patterns, that wasn't a problem.  For a PC left on all the time but 
largely idle, though, it could lead to wear on that one track.  The fix was to 
tweak the firmware to occasionally move the actuator arm, even when idle.

  Some HDD models are marked for media use, like in DVRs.  What they do is 
tweak the firmware to quickly give up on a read/write error.
Typical hard drives will keep retrying, often for several seconds.
For a Word document, that's what you want, but for streaming media, it's more 
important to keep the stream streaming.  A single lost block will be a barely 
noticeable glitch in the audio or picture.

 First, thanks for all of the feedback. Some interesting opinions out there.
 I've always been open to change so it's good to hear all of the
 positives/negatives regarding which route to take. It sounds like DHCP would
 be the way to go with the majority of our servers, excluding the
 infrastructure servers.


 With that said, it's probably a change that will occur through attrition
 rather than changing our current method all at once. The main reason for
 that is our network services department wants us to change the subnets our
 servers currently reside on to further segment stuff. We've got way too much
 work on our plates to investigate changing the addresses on all of our
 servers so that will already be a slow transition.



 In the meantime, a co-worker and I put together what we hope is a
 functional VB script that will make the necessary changes to the existing
 WINs and DNS settings. If anyone's interested in seeing it (and maybe
 reviewing it for validity), I'd be happy to pass it along.

  What are some of the pros/cons of using DHCP for servers...?

  For an environment like you describe, with hundreds of servers, I
 would recommend DHCP for all but critical network infrastructure
 servers.  I'd use manual configuration for anything serving DHCP, DNS,
 WINS, or Active Directory.  Everything else, DHCP, with reservations.

  Just to be clear: DHCP does not have to mean a dynamic IP address.
 You can statically assign an IP address via a DHCP reservation.  And
 there are tools to help you do things like automatically provision the
 reservations, based on name or MAC address or whatever.


  I've heard mention of not using DHCP to prevent DHCP broadcasts
  but with a properly designed lease interval, I can't imagine the DHCP
  traffic being that much of burden on today's networks

  As ME2 says, it really depends on the environment, but I would
 generally agree.  You'll already be needing infrastructure to support
 DNS, prolly Active Directory, possibly WINS, Window Updates, etc.,
 etc.  If DHCP is going to push you over the edge you're already way
 too close to the edge.  :)

  The one thing you *may* notice is a surge in broadcast traffic after
 rebooting or starting a large group of servers -- say, after a
 software update, or a long power outage.  In general, though, you're
 already going to be seeing that due to ARP and maybe NetBIOS
 registration.  So again, if this is a problem you're likely already
 experiencing it.  The usual solution is to stagger reboot/startup.

Remote Desktop Management for School Environment

[Matthew W. Ross]

Hey list,

I have been charged with looking for a good remote desktop support solution for 
our District. While I'm about to start my googlefu for solutions, I figure it 
wouldn't hurt for a little wisdom from the crowd about various solutions.

Currently, we use DameWare Mini Remote Control. DameWare is an excellent tool, 
but doesn't do everything we want it to do.

Here's what we _need_:

 * Remote Control (Without asking permission)
 * Remote Viewing (Hopefully without the user knowing we're viewing)
 * View Thumbnails of a group of computers (what's missing in DameWare)

Here's what we _want_:

 * Remote install of software/running of scripts.
 * Who's logged in?
 * A sortable/searchable list of computers.
 * Remote system inventory (CPU, memory, HD, software optional)
 * Support for Windows, Mac (and maybe Linux.)
 * ...And features we're not even thinking of, but we probably want.

(Basically, we want the functionality of Apple Remote Desktop on our Windows 
desktops. As I don't see Apple making an ARD client for Windows anytime soon, 
we need to see what else is out there.)

Price is a factor in our decision making, but we're willing to look at any 
solution which provides what we need. Any recommendations you guys can give, or 
solutions we should probably avoid, are appreciated.

In WINS it is also correct.  

We just ran SolarWinds DNS Audit on one of the subnets and it is a MESS.

Windows 2003 Domain
3 local DNS servers, 2 at remote locations Active Directory integrated
 
We have been noticing lately that our DNS seems to be a little bit messed up.  
Machines dont seem to be registering correctly.  I did some digging into it the 
past few days and it looks like when a DHCP renewal happens the Reverse Lookup 
Zone is being updated but not the Forward Lookup Zone.  I have done some 
Googling but havent found anything that has helped.
 
Any ideas?

Firewall for small biz

[David Lum]

I have a 17-user client (one SBS server, same one discussed with the PE840) 
with a 5+yr old SonicWALL SOHO firewall and I believe it's time to upgrade them 
to something more current. They used to VPN but have found SBS remote access 
much faster.

What kinds of things should I look for in a new workgroup firewall? Budget is 
probably in the $500-$700 range. Anyone have some good links for me to read up 
on? Recommendations? I just watched a McAfee/Gartner on Next Generation 
firewalls 
(HEREhttp://www.itbriefingcenter.com/programs/gartner_1135_mcafee_bd.html), 
but some if it seems a bit complex to manage for a small shop.

However I want to be aware of current thinking in SMB firewall/IPS devices.

Re: Remote Desktop Management for School Environment

[Matthew W. Ross]

Yeah, it's never a good sign when pricing information seems to be the last 
thing they wan to tell you on the website...

Have you used Viewfinity? Is it a resource hog? Seeing that it actually records 
all of the user's actions (so that you can review what they did, and reverse 
any problems) seems like it might use a lot of cpu time/hard drive space.

The freeware SpiceWorks will help you with at least some of that.

Microsoft's System Center Essentials can as well. It would be pretty
cheap on your educational discount. Be warned, it can be a bit of a
memory hog.

Excel 2003 strangeness

[Cameron]

G'day all!
Here's a strange one.
Windows XP, SP3, fully patched
Office 2003 Std, fully patched
Yesterday the user went into Excel and formatted a column for date and
selected m/dd (I was there and actually saw that option). Today, that option
is no longer there. I checked my version (Excel 2007) and that option isn't
there. I checked another machine with 2003 and the option IS there. Simple
answer to said user...use what is available, but she prefers the other.

Any ideas?

Hello:

We have recently upgraded Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 DCs and it seems that 
most workstations (mostly vista with few W2k) are indvertantly connecting to 
legasy Win2k3 DCs and it seems that the some of the GPOs with WMI filters are 
not working. 

Where are the options in the GPO, where I can mentioned i.e. DC1, DC2, DC3 and

Sadly, this broadcast will have less than a +2.5% positive impact.   The

Windows 2003 Domain
3 local DNS servers, 2 at remote locations Active Directory integrated
 
We have been noticing lately that our DNS seems to be a little bit
messed up.  Machines dont seem to be registering correctly.  I did some
digging into it the past few days and it looks like when a DHCP renewal
happens the Reverse Lookup Zone is being updated but not the Forward
Lookup Zone.  I have done some Googling but havent found anything that
has helped.
 
Any ideas?

Hey list,

I have been charged with looking for a good remote desktop support
solution for our District. While I'm about to start my googlefu for
solutions, I figure it wouldn't hurt for a little wisdom from the crowd
about various solutions.

Currently, we use DameWare Mini Remote Control. DameWare is an excellent
tool, but doesn't do everything we want it to do.

Here's what we _need_:

 * Remote Control (Without asking permission)
 * Remote Viewing (Hopefully without the user knowing we're viewing)
 * View Thumbnails of a group of computers (what's missing in DameWare)

Here's what we _want_:

 * Remote install of software/running of scripts.
 * Who's logged in?
 * A sortable/searchable list of computers.
 * Remote system inventory (CPU, memory, HD, software optional)
 * Support for Windows, Mac (and maybe Linux.)
 * ...And features we're not even thinking of, but we probably want.

(Basically, we want the functionality of Apple Remote Desktop on our
Windows desktops. As I don't see Apple making an ARD client for Windows
anytime soon, we need to see what else is out there.)

Price is a factor in our decision making, but we're willing to look at
any solution which provides what we need. Any recommendations you guys
can give, or solutions we should probably avoid, are appreciated.

RE: enforcing preferred DC

[Malcolm Reitz]

Your Windows 2000 clients won't be able to read the WMI filters no matter what 
DC they authenticate to. The Vista clients should be fine regardless of which 
DC authenticates them - WMI filters are not a new Windows 2008 function. If the 
Vista clients aren't getting policies when they authenticate to Windows 2003 
DCs, check replication.

Where are the options in the GPO, where I can mentioned i.e. DC1, DC2, DC3 and

Idle question?

[Kurt Buff]

Does anyone have experience with Win7 and really long file/path
specifications- that is, beyond 254 characters?

The Win32 API  doesn't support longer than that, and I was wondering
if it was fixed with Win7.

If the problem is fixed for Win7, will I have to move my file server
to Win2k8 to take advantage of the increased length?

Spelling error on license?

[Phillip Partipilo]

Curious.  Just got a great deal on a copy of Server 2008, almost too good to be 
true.  Holograms on disc are fine, the license has the hologram thread passing 
thru the paper, irregular shaped holes, all looks fine.  But reading the Client 
Access License paper, at the very bottom, there's an obvious spelling error.

...information about Mictosoft's tefund policies. See www.microsoft.com/

If anyone's curious, and has a 5 user CAL sheet that came with a copy of 2008, 
might check it out.  I find it strange MS would not have proofread this.

RE: Idle question?

[Michael B. Smith]

Eh.it depends.

The limits that Rod quoted are accurate - for Windows Explorer and anything 
that uses the .NET framework. Changing the Win32 API is not done lightly.

However, from the venerable cmd.exe (or in any native compiled language) you 
can prefix anything with \\?\ and get up to 32,767 bytes supported in your 
path (with up to 255 characters per path component). This has been true 
forever. Since around Vista, though, these are Unicode, so the actual path 
limit is about half that in characters. So, c:\temp\file.txt becomes 
\\?\c:\temp\file.txt etc. in absurdium.

A pretty good coverage of this topic is found here: 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx

Raymond Chen has covered various pieces of this puzzle on his blog several 
times. Might be a good thing to check out if you are interested.

That's just wrong, or sad, or something.

The native API (which is what robocopy uses) supports something like 1024, IIRC.

I was hoping for better, but a 4 character jump is ludicrous.

Single Live Comm Server 2005 upgrade to OCS 2007

[Bob Fronk]

All the deployment documentation involves much more complicated Live 
Communication Server setups with multiple directors, etc.

I have a single Live Communication Server 2005 server which is used 99.9% for 
IM only.  We need to move to Office Communication Server 2007.  Currently I 
don't need more than a single server as the main use will remain just IM, but 
we will add other services soon.

Has someone performed a simple upgrade like this?  Is it just as simple as 
installing OCS 2007 and moving the users?  Or do I need to do a more 
complicated install with multiple OCS 2007 servers with different roles?

[robbonfig...@gmail.com]

It's been a couple of years since I did this...but from what I remember I'm 
pretty sure it was basically a swing migration. There was documentation for it 
somewhere though.

 I believe you can use Evolution to connect via MAPI to an Exchange server.

  Sort of.  You need an additional commercial product, AFAIK.  Some
kind of translator gateway server thing.  (Then again, I haven't
looked at Evolution in *years*.)

  There are lots of IMAP clients for 'nix, and Exchange supports IMAP.
 And there's Outlook Web Access.  I'm told that in Exchange 2007/2010,
the OWA is much-improved for browsers that are not MSIE.

RE: enforcing preferred DC

[Juned Shaikh]

Thanks for the clarification. 

Since we need to decomission the legacy domain controller anyways, what are the 
ways I can preferred them not be used.

Non AD integrated DNS

[Juned Shaikh]

In one of the projects the ADDC (win2k3) is heavily used and to buy the time, 
thinking to offload the DNS to standalone member server. This new server than 
hold DHCP/WINS and DNS offloading exclusive authentications to DC. 

Is there any disadvantage of running standalone DNS (NON AD integrated); apart 
from security. 

Thanks in advance,

2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Quad Cab Dually - 6.6l Duramax. I've been told to chalk 
it up to the new DPF and other emissions equipment. I've also been told it 
should increase by 5-6 mpg once I hit between 20-30k miles. I just rolled over 
20k so we'll see
