outbound smtp broke (connection to host lost)
Stuck on this one. (1) Exch 2003 server that is my SMTP outbound connector (1) Exch 2007 server that only hosts mailboxes For some reason my Exch 2003 server stopped sending outbound emails on Friday. All messages are getting stuck in the queue and show the connection was dropped by the remote host when I look at the queue. I made sure that our outgoing IP (24.56.73.162) is NOT on spamhaus or other blacklist. So everything looks good there. If I try telneting from the Exch 2003 server, it opens successfully to a destination mail server, but as soon as I try typing H (for Helo), it disconnects with a connection to host lost message in the command prompt. I also, just for test purposes, tried telneting from the Exch 2007 server (even though it does NOT deliver outbound mail at this time, it only forwards stuff to the Exch 2003 smtp connector), to various mail servers and the SAME thing happens from the 2007 server. I can telnet, but after typing H, the connection to host is lost. What's more interesting is, on my local machine, I CAN telnet into any internet mail server and typing H does NOT drop the connection at all. I'm doubting it's a firewall issue because telnet isnt blocking the telnet session from Exch 2003. I'm doubting we're on spamhaus, etc. (checked the spamhaus.org website to be sure), and my ISP says it's not them dropping the connection.. So Any ideas?

Re: Sharepoint questions
I would check with your Great Plains consultant to ensure that any third party tools are updated for 2010. Books - the 2010 books are just starting to come out in full force. A few have been out a bit, but remember those were likely based on beta and RC versions. While the GUI has changed quite a bit from 2007, most of the concepts remain the same, so a 2007 book would be helpful as well. Installing 2010 is really simple. It's what you do after that can be confusing. For the newbie, the more difficult concepts I believe are the interactions and limitations of content databases, site collections and sites. Spend some time on Technet trying to grasp those. Install a single server installation (3 clicks is all it takes) on a test server. That will help you relate to the terms. My biggest recommendation is to work on a governance plan. Not doing so, IMHO, is asking for trouble. Sharepoint sites have the potential to grow unontrolled. Technet also has some virtual labs you can work through. BTW, in 2010 it is not MOSS anymore. The free version is SharePoint Foundation. The enterprise version is just SharePoint. I believe GP works with either. So you need to decide if the enterprise features will be needed. Enterprise comes with Excel services, Visio Services, something with Access (haven't toyed with it yet), ability to index across sites and file shares and more out of the box work flow templates.

If you were on a DNS blacklist I would expect you to get a clean 5xx reject, not a disconnect. I'd be looking at your firewall. Do your Exchange servers go out through the same rule as your PC does?

Test your connection to these remote servers without going through the firewall.

At first we were miffed, but after getting IE6 working we found that they are indeed right. In IE6 when you print a text heavy page it wraps the text over the page regardless of the zoom level. That is you can zoom from 50% to 100% and the font size increases but the text wraps reliably. In IE8, no matter what the zoom level, the text doesn't wrap and goes off the page. You can use shrink to page but that reduces the font, in some cases so much that you can't read it. Does anyone know a way to turn on word wrap in prints when using IE8 ?

Re: outbound smtp broke (connection to host lost-fixed)
Appreciate the feedback from everyone. I just figured out the problem. We have an internet filter appliance that is in-line right before the firewall. Servers/Network---Filter Appliance---Firewall---Internet The filter was changed the other day with a setting that blocked all non-HTTP traffic to unknown IP addresses, so the box was effectively blocking all email outbound and dropping the smtp sessions. Turning off that rule on the filter allowed email to flow again. Fun. Thanks for the tips.

Question on Users folder on Windows 2008 server
Folks, A few of my XenApp users are having profile issues. I use roaming profiles, and they seem to work, although the local size is always larger than the network profile size (temp files, etc). Anyway I need to access a few of the local profilese on these XenApp (2008 not R2) servers. I get the access denied message of course. So I add my domain admin account to the local adminstrators group on the server, but I still can't access the profiles. Do I need to take ownership of the folder? Or am I missing something?

OT: DataMax thermal printers
Hey, everyone. We have a DMX-600 here that the print head is going bad quickly. According to the manufacturer, that model is discontinued and parts aren't even available for it any longer. According to our VAR, the replacement is an H-6308. There are apparently two configurations for this, one with a large vertical LCD panel and one with a smaller, horizontal LCD panel. I don't know if there is any functional difference between the two versions. My guess is that there is not. Does anyone on this list have any experience with this printer? Feel free to email me off-list if you'd like. Our VAR says that the tall LCD version isn't going to be available until the end of this month, but we can get the small-LCD version within a week. I just need to know if there is any real difference between the two besides the LCD size. J Thanks..

Re: Question on Users folder on Windows 2008 server
No, I've found it to be quite a PITA. So if you go to C:\ and select Properties on the Users folder you still can't see permissions? I just looked on my server, but it's R2, I wouldn't think that would make a difference...but it might. If you can access the Users folder you could take ownership at that level and have it applied to all subfolders. - WJR On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 14:12, Tom Miller tmil...@hnncsb.org wrote: Correct, I cannot.

RE: OT: DataMax thermal printers
No, but the engineers and/or production team can...if you can get that far. Ant it isn't that they can't tell you, it's that they probably WON'T tell you one way or the other, unless you happen to know or work with the engineer(s) quite a bit at a personal level. Also, in manufacturing, there may be slight enough differences in two different parts that while either would work just fine, they are not the same part. Therefore, the manufacturer cannot use the alternate or even acknowledge its potential use because it would revoke any certifications (such as UL Listing). The manufacturer could get into BIG trouble if they used or substituted a part that wasn't part of the UL Listed design and still included the UL label on the finished product... I'm assuming the European entity (CE, or Conformité Européene) would have similar rules/repercussions...although my understanding is that CE is not quite as strict as UL, and in the US, a CE won't be sufficient. UL is typically required. I know this because I used to work in manufacturing. We needed a particular Square D power transformer to finish out an order for manufacturing. I was a materials controller, and bet the Plant Manager I could find one that would work. I found an IDENTICAL transformer in stock with one exception - there was a tap on the output of the transformer, dividing the secondary winding in two. The rating of the TOTAL of the secondary winding was the same as the needed part, and the engineering team agreed that it would work. He acknowledged that, and I won the bet. However, the sticking point was the UL label. ANY change in design requires UL approval and listing in order to be sold under the classification as being UL Listed. The customer required UL listing on the finished product, and because the transformer was a different part, we could not legally place the UL label on the product. Also, if there had ever been an issue with the finished product, and the customer found out that we made a non-UL approved part substitution, we could have been sued and would probably have lost, even if the part had not caused the problem.

Opinions on Netbooks...
Hey list, I'm curious if any of you have experience with a variety of netbooks. I'm considering the purchase of one as my mobile troubleshooting workstation, such as IP-Camera configuration, Network Device configuration (over local serial port), etc. Here's my questions: I don't think I'll be needing much CPU power, but I'm curious if anybody noticed a speciffic level of processor that is too slow or start to feel functional. For example, will an old N230 work without unbearable sluggishness? What about the AMD Neo's? I plan on running Windows 7. Second, I'm weary of the 1024x600 screens that come on most netbooks. the 10 screen physical size isn't a problem, but do you often run out of screen real-estate with such a resolution? Maybe this one is in my head. If so, let me know. I know that you can pay extra for a 1366x768 screen, but those usually get the netbook near the $500 mark... which is what a cheap Notebook costs. Last, I dislike the Acer's flat keyboard. Any other brands have this style of keys? I want a little definition between the keys for myself, and would not want to end up with this.

Re: Opinions on Netbooks...
I´m used to the Acer ones. Tried some HP minis, but while the keyboard had that space between the keys you talk, the touchpad was too narrow, and the button position seemed wrong, also.

But when analyzing what was the problems, they were trying to run office apps in the poor little machines. Someone even tried to play dvds in one.. After some stern talking , and getting the involvement of management ( or we from IT would spend a lot of hours / week cleaning the machines while the external technicians couldn´t work without the netbooks ) , we got people to stop using the machines for play.

Re: Opinions on Netbooks...
I had no preconceived notion of running Office on one of these. I think a web browser might be the heaviest application I would want to run on one. My question is trying to find the line where the OS no linger feels sluggish. If I need the machine running quickly, will I need the 2 gigs or will 1 gig do? Will the single core Atom 230s do the job with windows 7? How about the hyperthreading Z450s? I would run Linux on this netbook, but so many applications require windows/IE that I think I'll have to stick with Microsoft for compatibility in this case. Seeing that most netbooks come with 7 Starter, I'd find out what runs well (or not so well) on these lower end configs. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District On Oct 4, 2010, at 5:10 PM, Silvio L.

RE: Speaking of Drobo ... (was: SAN question)
As I understand it, a Drobo will intelligently use a combination of raid5 and mirroring. If you have one 500 GB, one 2 TB and two 1 TB drives, You'll wind up with a 3 disk raid 5 across the two 1 TB and half of the 2 TB, plus a mirror of the 500 GB with half space the remaining on the 2 TB drive. 2 TB usable on raid 5 and 500 GB usable on mirror. 2.5 TB total. Pull the 500 GB and put in a 2 TB and it will do a 4 disk raid 5 and a mirror of the remaining 1 GB on each of the large drives. 3 TB usable on raid 5 and 1 TB usable on mirror. 4 TB total.

When I first looked at it, I was like, ok, now THAT's COOL. However, after thinking about it some, it just seemed like some black magic under the covers to get their BeyondRAID to work. When I originally looked at it, I couldn't find any technical detail on how the product *really* worked, as that was proprietary (understandably so, but still, how am I going to get comfortable with it as a sysadmin, especially at the price if I'm on a budget - it would be an expensive toy. Traditional RAID is just much more comforting to me. If you have a big issue with multiple drives of different sizes on a drobo unit, how is data recovery going to go for you? If the controller fails, and you don't have a support agreement, you can't just go on serversuply.com and get parts... Does anyone here have any experience with data recovery on a failed drobo, or for that matter, simply a failed drive within a drobo where you had drives of different sizes in the configuration?

Will the single core Atom 230s do the job with windows 7? How about the hyperthreading Z450s? I would run Linux on this netbook, but so many applications require windows/IE that I think I'll have to stick with Microsoft for compatibility in this case.

Tried some HP minis, but while the keyboard had that space between the keys you talk, the touchpad was too narrow, and the button position seemed wrong, also. One thing that we had to insert into our group is that the netbooks where meant for that, troubleshooting and configuring equipment on the field. In the start, many people would complain about too slow, too small screen, too small disk space ( we went for the 8 and 16 GB SSD ones , to save money battery power ) . But when analyzing what was the problems, they were trying to run office apps in the poor little machines. Someone even tried to play dvds in one.. After some stern talking , and getting the involvement of management ( or we from IT would spend a lot of hours / week cleaning the machines while the external technicians couldn´t work without the netbooks ) , we got people to stop using the machines for play. ( of course, some draconian GPs helped ) . In the end, from first hand experience, it is much better to get used to their shortcomings ( size, speed, keyboard ) then working with a full sized notebook over your lap, or trying to balance it with one hand while you try to connect a cable inside a huge cabinet. And for their intended use ( configuring network equipment through serial port / telnet / http, or interfacing with measuring equipment just to collect data ) , it works ok.
