Re: Switch / Firewall / Wireless

[Matthew W. Ross]

How many switch ports do you need? 4? 8? More?

What kind of Wireless speed are you looking for?

Need any special features on the firewall? Logging, perhaps? or VPN? Perhaps a 
price limit?

The more details on what you need, better the possible responses will be. I'll 
throw in the NetGear SRXN3205 for your consideration, as it fits your stated 
needs for an inexpensive price.

  SOHO router running DD-WRT.

  (Those $50, 5-port routers are actually a lightly-managed switch
(VLANs); the "Internet" port is just a different VLAN internally.
Speed within the switch is usually fair to good.  Wireless speed and
reliability is usually fair to bad.  Performance across the firewall
is good enough for most connections.  Features vary, but you get a lot
for $50 and free firmware.  Would I run a business on this?  Depends
on the business.  I'd sooner use one of these than one with stock
firmware.  I'd put a small office, e.g., handful of users on one, if
they didn't need anything special.  Would I run a 100 person company
on one?  No.)

I have a Server 2003 DC, and a Server 2008 DC (not R2)


I've found some Powershell stuff that uses the AD module, but all I can find
references R2.  Is there a way to get that module for 2008, not R2?  Or is
there another way of getting the info I'm looking for easily?


What I'm trying to find is the last login time for a user, to find out if
the account is needed anymore.  Doing it one-by-one would be fine, as that's
how I'm doing the first step of this process.

I am a Powershell noob, but very willing, and desiring to learn more.


Thanks.

Subject: User last login info

I have a Server 2003 DC, and a Server 2008 DC (not R2)


I've found some Powershell stuff that uses the AD module, but all I can find
references R2.  Is there a way to get that module for 2008, not R2?  Or is
there another way of getting the info I'm looking for easily?


What I'm trying to find is the last login time for a user, to find out if
the account is needed anymore.  Doing it one-by-one would be fine, as that's
how I'm doing the first step of this process.

I am a Powershell noob, but very willing, and desiring to learn more.


Thanks.

RE: User last login info

[Mayo, Bill]

Line breaks blew me up.  Also messed up the quotes when editing from my
code.  The GetObject line should look like (one line only):

Set lobjUser = GetObject("WinNT://DomainControllerX/TheUserName,User")

You can do this with VBScript/ADSI.  You will have to inquire with each
domain controller and take the highest value.  The very base code is:

Dim lobjUser, lstrLogons
Set lobjUser = GetObject("WinNT://DomainController1/TheUserName &
",User")
lstrLogons = lstrLogons & "DomainController1 last logon: " &
lobjUser.LastLogin & vbNewLine
Set lobjUser = GetObject("WinNT://DomainController2/TheUserName &

lstrLogons = lstrLogons & "DomainController2 last logon: " &
lobjUser.LastLogin & vbNewLine
MsgBox lstrLogons

RE: Firewall

[Matthew W. Ross]

For fun, a workmate of mine mirrored the wan port on our main switch and ran a 
little program called driftnet on his linux box that showed all the images 
being accessed over port 80.

http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet/

The program was originally intended to sniff all the traffic on wireless, but 
mirroring the wan port did give a simular result. The images that the program 
produced was quite enlightening to us about the basic browsing habits of our 
district.

It was mostly pictures of shoes and Scarface.

Re: 2K8 DC in 2K3 SBS domain

[Phil Brutsche]

I've done exactly what you are planning on doing and have had no issues.

David Lum  previously uttered:

So it's possible and supported  
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708131(WS.10).aspx)  
has anyone here ever done it, any caveats not noted in the KB? I  
would be adding a 64-bit R2 DC to a SBS 2K3 (non-R2) domain. The SBS  
server has the latest service packs and updates.

RE: Weird mapped drives error

[Carl Houseman]

Do the same or different tests.  Different computer same user, or different
user on same computer.

 

If it sticks to the one computer and the one user only, a new user profile
fixes it.  You might be able to clean up the registry but if the user profile
is disposable, just dispose of it.

Hi There,

 

We have a user with and XP machine, ho is having an unusual problem.

 

He has several mapped drives, and most of them work but one doesnt.

 

say it is f: on \\server\share

 

You double click on F: and it give an access denied error.

 

If you click start and run and enter \\server\share the folder opens.

 

So he has permissions to access the share, the other mapped drives he uses
all work fine, just this one doesnt.

 

It may be nothing but the drive letter also shows up in Windows as a folder
not a drive icon, where the rest of the mapped drives show up as drive icons.

 

We have tried mapping to a different letter and get the same results.

 

Any one got any suggestions.

 

I have tried google and all I can find is UNC not working when mapped drives
are.

 

 

Thanks

Sounds like you want a Content filter.

We use Lightspeed's Total Traffic Control, and have been very impressed with 
it. It's more education based, but it might fit your needs.

I have a college who uses a filter called an iBoss, and he is a fan of that as 
well.

Embedding webcam in website

[Oliver Marshall]

Hi chaps,

Slightly off topic but has anyone come across a webcam that would allow us to 
embed a stream view of our office in our site? We have a security one at the 
moment that has a built in HTTP server which you can use to watch the office 
but it has its own branded site, 4 feeds per page etc. We want something more 
like an embedded youtube style live video on our site.

Any ideas which makes do this?

2K8 DC in 2K3 SBS domain

[David Lum]

So it's possible and supported 
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708131(WS.10).aspx) has anyone 
here ever done it, any caveats not noted in the KB? I would be adding a 64-bit 
R2 DC to a SBS 2K3 (non-R2) domain. The SBS server has the latest service packs 
and updates.

Re: Virtual Machine Disk Configuration

[Richard Stovall]

Are these software raid volumes created on and managed by the VM?  If so,
are all the VHDs on the same LUN?

 The san has 21 FC disks configured as a raid 5 array. There have two
 luns configured from this array. All 15 guest machines are located on one 
 of
 these luns (including exchange). The performance hit appears mainly on
 exchange but other servers are suffering as well. The interesting thing is
 that IOPS for the entire lun holding the 15 VM's is only around 600 at the
 time that the disk busy is around 95%. The disk queue for that lun is 
 around
 4 - I will need to set up longer term monitoring to get the read/write 
 times
 when the disk set gets busy (which is usually first thing in the morning)

 Disk busy warnings buy themselves don't hold much weight, unless of
 course there are noticeable performances issues, which you alluded to.
 You'll want to capture disk queue and disk latency stats ( avg disk queue
 length and avg disk sec/reads and writes). Avg queue depth should below X
 (where X equals the number of physical disks. Read/write times should avg
 below 20ms and not spike above 50ms.



 I'd also recommend running the exbpa and the troubleshooting assistant.



 If you can gather I/O stats you may be able to determine if the disks
 can handle the load. If it doesn't appear Exchange is stressing your
 resources, you may need your SAN monitoring tools to determine if total I/O
 (assuming multiple luns share the same disks) are more than the disks can
 handle. I'm not familiar with EVAs, but overloading disks in a SAN can lead
 to cache flushing which could affect performance of the array itself.

The exchange 2k3 server has operating system - raid 1 , stores raid 5 and
logs are raid 1. I have noticed that when email performance suffers the
entire lun containg all the guest VM's suffers. I have started collecting
stats from the SAN and I have noticed that even with a light load the lun in
question appears to have a queue of 3 (limit should be 3 or less according
to HP notes). Unfortunately load has been very light this afternoon. I will
see what transpires first thing in the morning when load normally increases.
