Re: Skype question
I have used Skype in the past to call my wife when she is out of the country on travel. No real issues there and never a reboot needed. Is this user hanging up properly? Which icon? Taskbar or something within the Skype application itself? He could just exit out of Skype, be sure to close the taskbar icon, and re-load it. This is with free version, no experience with other versions. Tom Miller Engineer, Information Technology Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board 757-788-0528 John Aldrich jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com 8/19/2010 4:33 PM Anyone here using Skype? One of my users is using it to make international calls (our International Sales Manager) and he says that every time he makes a call in Skype the first one works fine, but he has to reboot the computer after the first one in order to make another call as the icon for Skype changes. I have not witnessed this for myself, only going by his reports. I'm *assuming* from what he said that it's not just a case of the icon changing, but rather Skype not working. He said it just started it this week, and it happens whether he's at home or at the office (remote office) so it doesn't appear to be related to the corporate firewall nor to the internet connection. At the office we have a 5 Mbit/sec Metro-E circuit and I don't know what he has for internet at home, other than some type of DSL connection. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Re: 200 + Windows applications trivial to exploit bugs
It's the old adage where a guy leaves his expensive Rolex in his trouser pocket, and his wife picks the trousers up, doesn't check the pockets, and ruins his Rolex in the washing machine. They both blame each other for the damage and subsequent loss. How can you mitigate against it happening again? Well, the only way is to make sure that he checks his pockets before putting the trousers in the washing pile, and she checks the pockets before putting the garment in the washing machine. It might be a wasteful duplication of effort, but it's the only way to be sure the fiscal loss doesn't happen again. It's a good way of getting execs to see that email filters, desktop antivirus, software restriction policies and the like are all necessary, and are not all just doing the same thing.

Re: Let's have some fun and configure a brand new server.
What is this server supposed to be doing? (What are the ALL OTHER APPS you expect to put on E:) If this is supposed to be the latest and greatest, here are some things I would change or attempt to change. - Use 64-bit Windows (preferably 2008 R2, but even 2003 R2 would be acceptable for all this RAM) - Use dual i7 CPU, preferably quad-core. Two of them. - RAID10 requires an even # of disks (3x60GB won't work unless you mean RAID1 with a local hotspare) - I wouldn't put reporting databases on the same server as the primary databases, but perhaps capacity is not a problem. - You don't seem to need a separate volume for Indexing, but that is an option. - Use disk space more efficiently. - C: 2ea x 146GB RAID1 for OS - D: 2ea x 146GB RAID1 for SQL and other applications - J: 4ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID10 for SQL databases - L: 2ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID1 for Database Logs - R: 2ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID1 for Reporting Databases (really should be on different servers, but...) - S: 4ea x 146GB (or 300GB) RAID5 for Database Backups (I'd put on a NAS or some other less costly storage ideally, or make a smaller partition for the local backup copy that is copied off regularly) Overall, it seems like a whole lot of complexity at the disk level for no clear benefit.Did you obtain any metrics from perfmon to establish the I/O needs?

RE: Let's have some fun and configure a brand new server.
Other apps are specifically our Core Business App (CUBE from Fiserv). It doesn't take a lot of RAM or processor but I wanted it separate from SQL and the OS so that is why it is segregated. My only issue with the Reporting database is that it is created dynamically throughout the day so extra network IO may not be nice for all the users. However, I do know of one of my sister companies, that use CUBE, has this dual setup thing with their IBM's. They complain about throughput issues as much as I do. Thanks for the input. Mostly this is a SQL server with a transactional database. From: Andrew S.

Subject: Re: Let's have some fun and configure a brand new server. What is this server supposed to be doing? (What are the ALL OTHER APPS you expect to put on E:) If this is supposed to be the latest and greatest, here are some things I would change or attempt to change. * Use 64-bit Windows (preferably 2008 R2, but even 2003 R2 would be acceptable for all this RAM) * Use dual i7 CPU, preferably quad-core. Two of them. * RAID10 requires an even # of disks (3x60GB won't work unless you mean RAID1 with a local hotspare) * I wouldn't put reporting databases on the same server as the primary databases, but perhaps capacity is not a problem. * You don't seem to need a separate volume for Indexing, but that is an option. * Use disk space more efficiently. * C: 2ea x 146GB RAID1 for OS * D: 2ea x 146GB RAID1 for SQL and other applications * J: 4ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID10 for SQL databases * L: 2ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID1 for Database Logs * R: 2ea x 72GB (or 146GB) RAID1 for Reporting Databases (really should be on different servers, but...) * S: 4ea x 146GB (or 300GB) RAID5 for Database Backups (I'd put on a NAS or some other less costly storage ideally, or make a smaller partition for the local backup copy that is copied off regularly) Overall, it seems like a whole lot of complexity at the disk level for no clear benefit.Did you obtain any metrics from perfmon to establish the I/O needs?

Well, the only way is to make sure that he checks his pockets before putting the trousers in the washing pile, and she checks the pockets before putting the garment in the washing machine. It might be a wasteful duplication of effort, but it's the only way to be sure the fiscal loss doesn't happen again.

RE: Wireless Machine Authentication
If you are using AD credentials for your users, the easiest thing is to just use AD credentials for the computers as well. I assume you have your users in some AD groups that are authenticated by RADIUS. Create another group (or use Domain Computers) that is also authenticated by RADIUS. Add the PCs you want to that group. Make sure the wireless 802.1x configuration on the PCs is set properly so the authentication mode is user or computer. That should do it. -Malcolm From: Kelsey, John [mailto:jckel...@drmc.org] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 09:07 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Wireless Machine Authentication I'm still striking out on making this work.

RE: GPO for service not listed
Yeah this is my experience as well. If you want to avoid installing GPMC on the
box, you can just launch gpedit.msc targeting the GPO in question.
Gpedit.msc /gpobject:LDAP://cn={policy guid
here},cn=policies,cn=system,dc=yourdomain,dc=com
You can grab the GUID to paste in there from the details tab I think it is in
GPMC. This is how I deal with Windows Firewall policies too - same problem as
you identified with services.

RE: Merging Departments
I'm pretty sure we have what you refer to as split DNS. We have AD Integrated DNS but it isn't accessible outside the subnet/firewall.

But, if I were to speculate... $7.7 Billion is no chump change, but they made $4.4 Billion in net income last year, so they can afford it. Also, McAfee may be known to us as slow, bloated and not as effective as some other AV suites, but to the rest of the world they're the #2 AntiVirus company. And they make $2 Billion a year. If I know intel, they will keep the very smart people at McAfee, and a few of the higher-up muckidy-mucks as well... then let the others go through attrition. They will take the McAfee product and immediately slap their logo on the box, (but won't replace the McAfee logo or name just yet) and leave the product unchanged for now. Finally, they will use this new IP and braintrust that they have purchased and integrate it with something on their hardware. Works best on intel antivirus, or built in protection on smartphone chips. (i.e.: Remember, intel is the #1 seller of graphics hardware.) Also, there may be something up McAfee's sleave which we are unaware of that intel wants. That's always a possibility. It could be anything from an emerging technology to patents. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District - Original Message - From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysad...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:27:50 -0700 Subject: RE: Will AMD buy NORTON next???

I never said it wasn't silly, I think it is, but my point was about symantec. Symantec doesn't show any signs of being interested in hardware. Intel's dallied with software in the past, at least. I can imagine a room full of Intel executives. We have piles of cash here, and we're hitting a wall on delivering ever faster chips. We need to broaden our exposure to new markets or find ways to vertically integrate along our product line more, or find a way to enter into untapped markets, especially in this wireless devices area. Let's buy a company. Someone knows someone who knows someone who knows that McAfee might be interested in being bought out.

Re: GPO for service not listed
You can do this with Security Policy Templates from the machine with the
services you want to manage:
1) Launch an MMC.
2) Add the Security Policy Templates snap-in.
3) Create a new template.
4) Edit the templates 'System Services' node and you'll see the services on
that mahcine.
5) Configure the service behavior how ever you want. (Don't modify anything
else).
6) Save the file.
7) Launch GPMC and edit the appropriate policy.
8) Right-click Security and select 'Import'.
9) Choose the template you saved previously.
10) The service should be configurable within your policy.

Re: The arrrgghhhness of it all...
OK - here's what I did, and it seems to have worked - but it's really brutal, and I *don't* recommend it: I used the IP address I manually resolved to start the updates again. They timed out - hung on installing something or other, so I cancelled the updates. The updates didn't actually cancel, however, so I initiated shutdown. Shutdown hung, too, so I killed some processes. It still hung. So, I got really brutal and just powered off the VM, then powered it back up again and did a checkdisk. I then had DNS resolution going again, and started the patching process once more, and it proceeded just fine after that. All patches installed cleanly. I suppose I should patch ESX, but I'm actually on a day off right now, so will look into that after I get back into the office... On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 04:12, Joseph L.

Before going down too many roads with this, what happens when you telnet to

For example:

Do you get a response, or a timeout?

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help please? I have an issue on a clients XP
SP3 machine in that they are able to successfully connect to the
internet via an ADSL router, and ping hosts on the internet via hostname and
IP address.
However they are unable to browse web pages using any browser.
I have tried all the tricks that I know to resolve this, but the issue
still persists.
The steps I have tried are:
Ensured no proxy server settings are checked
Ensured that DHCP and DNS are working correctly
Ensured that ping responses are successful via both hostname and IP
address
Flushed the DNS cache
Released and renewed IP via DHCP
Tried multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome)
Dumped the IE cache
Installed all the latest patches
Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has
been a cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home
Edition)
Switched off any personal firewalls
Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old
Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation
Reset the winsock catalog
Removed the winsock and winsock2 registry entries
Reinstalled the TCP stack
Swearing at it
I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and
rebuild the machine, but I thought I’d see if anyone on this list had
resolved this issue before?
Many thanks!

You can do this with Security Policy Templates from the machine with the
services you want to manage:
1) Launch an MMC.
2) Add the Security Policy Templates snap-in.
3) Create a new template.
4) Edit the templates 'System Services' node and you'll see the services
on that mahcine.
5) Configure the service behavior how ever you want. (Don't modify
anything else).
6) Save the file.
7) Launch GPMC and edit the appropriate policy.
8) Right-click Security and select 'Import'.
9) Choose the template you saved previously.
10) The service should be configurable within your policy.

Gpedit.msc /gpobject:LDAP://cn={policy guid

You can grab the GUID to paste in there from the details tab I think it

But, if I were to speculate... $7.7 Billion is no chump change, but they made $4.4 Billion in net income last year, so they can afford it. Also, McAfee may be known to us as slow, bloated and not as effective as some other AV suites, but to the rest of the world they're the #2 AntiVirus company. And they make $2 Billion a year. If I know intel, they will keep the very smart people at McAfee, and a few of the higher-up muckidy-mucks as well... then let the others go through attrition. They will take the McAfee product and immediately slap their logo on the box, (but won't replace the McAfee logo or name just yet) and leave the product unchanged for now. Finally, they will use this new IP and braintrust that they have purchased and integrate it with something on their hardware. Works best on intel antivirus, or built in protection on smartphone chips. (i.e.: Remember, intel is the #1 seller of graphics hardware.) Also, there may be something up McAfee's sleave which we are unaware of that intel wants. That's always a possibility.

Yes - the proper command is 'quit' - what you got means you got a
connection to the web site.
Actually, typing almost anything and pressing enter at that point
should get you something this:

Before going down too many roads with this, what happens when you telnet to

For example:

Do you get a response, or a timeout?

RE: Intel to buy McAfee for $7.68 billion
As you can see, I stayed away from making any comments... but I did make some comments to PC Mag here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2368056,00.asp More likely is the fact that the MBAs drove a good part of this decision: http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/19/technology/intel_mcafee_deal/ Value for Intel shareholders. Intel has $17.8 billion cash on hand, which is just sitting there, earning very little for the company's shareholders. So what to do with that cash? Intel could buy a company that it thinks will generate income for its investors. Ken Hackel, president of CreditTrends.com and author of Security Valuation and Risk Analysis, estimated that Intel's total cost of capital on the McAfee purchase would be about 4%, but the cash return on its invested capital would probably be around 8%.Software in general is a much higher-margin business than hardware, and McAfee is no exception, with a gross margin near 75%. Intel's is around 55%. Other than that, it doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Intel has had a weak track record buying software companies, and many are scratching their heads.

RE: Sophos vs. Vipre Enterprise (now that we have tested both)

This will sound odd, but I like having VIPRE compared to Sophos, as opposed to many others. It's a very decent product and a product we look at as being in the same class as VIPRE. With regard to your points: Exclusions -- the next major release of VIPRE (Q4) will have best-practices templates, which will pre-define roles for various types of systems. This will dramatically help in pre-defining exclusions for servers. Updates -- We actually turned on hourly updates a few months ago, and found users didn't like it. I think a lot of that had to do with the updating scheme inside the product, which spiked CPU usage when applying the update. The next minor update to VIPRE has code written in it to allow going back to hourly updates. 24/7 support -- Got it. We are working on improving weekend support, and I expect you'll find things getting quite a bit better. Your general comments about support are also perfectly reasonable and we will continue to improve. Reboots -- New code is being written to separate non-boot required functions from boot-required functions, which will enable us to only require a reboot in certain occasions. Our developers have been beaten into submission on this subject, and they are now terrified of releasing update which requires a reboot ;-) Sophos actually does require reboots, but they schedule it around major upgrades, and they push all the reboot-required functions into one release (I believe they have a policy of only doing reboots once a year). Might be the case...and a schedule that we can live with. However, not doing a reboot around a deployment --- I would like some more information on this. Was this on Vista/Windows 7 machines? Or on XP machines? On XP and below, it is technically impossible not to require a reboot, based on the driver model (there are some exceptions to this, but it's a long technical discussion). Empirically yes, NO reboots are required for the agent deployment of XP and Server 2003 only... http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/11006.html Once again, thanks for the frank evaluation, and I can assure you this email has plenty of readers inside the organization.
