Add/Remove programs showing blank on Windows 2003 SP2 Server

[Haritwal, Dhiraj]

Hello Everybody,

I am unable to see programs list under Add/Remove programs in one of our 
Windows 2003 SP2 server. I have tried to run regsvr32 appwiz.cpl also, not no 
difference. There was a Fixit for this on MS Site, tried that also but still no 
solution. Tried to run sfc /scannow / checkdisk also but no solution. It's only 
showing "please wait while the list is being populated". tried to restart 
this server as well, but no luck.

Kindly let me know what could be the problem & how to resolve it.


Regards,

Dhiraj

RE: show arp table on netgear GS716T?

[Carl Houseman]

There are 3 different versions of the GS716T.  The v1 manual mentions telnet, 
the v2/v3 manual does not.  Most likely they forgot to remove some references 
to telnet and CLI commands in the v1 manual.

The v2/v3 manual does talk about searching the MAC address table through the 
web GUI.

According to the index in the FM that you could RT, there is a CLI presented 
when you telnet to the device, and there's a CLI command "show 
mac-address-table".

Unfortunately, the manual fails to describe any of the CLI commands that are 
referenced in the index... the pages referenced do not exist in the manual.  
Netgear quality at its finest.

I'm not very familiar with these Netgear switches.  Is there a way to view the

I need to locate where a machine is with a given IP address.. any tips on this

We put them in the description field in AD, as you mentioned. If we are
troubleshooting "general use" computers where we need to know who's

For names, we use geographical_location-position-number (Phila-IT-01,

RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to

[Ray]

We're government agency so everything has an asset tag. Our naming
convention is pretty much 3 letters (site) with the asset tag number.

We have a login script that writes login info to a centralized location in
the rare case we actually want to associate a name to a machine.

  We've got an ad-hoc MS Access database which keeps track of which user a
computer is assigned to.

  We're a small shop, so we don't have site codes or anything like that.
Just "FooPCnnn", where "Foo" is the abbreviated name of the company, and
"nnn" is a sequence number.  I started counting at 100, for no particular
reason beyond "it looked cooler".

  I learned a while ago that embedding details into a computer ID is usually
not worth it.  Especially not a user ID -- equipment changes assignment too
often.

RE: Loooooong ping times

[Jesse Rink]

I'd recommend this as well.I've had issues at various clients where they
could only download at a fraction of their available internet speed
available and it always turns out they have multiple port mismatch errors
(duplexing and speed) between the internet handoff, firewall, and potential
in-line web filters.   Granted that's sort of the opposite of what you're
experiencing but.  Worth a mention I thought.

I'd start with disconnecting from your SonicWall, configuring and connecting
a laptop direct, firewall up of course, and see if you still see the latency
issues.  Assuming you do, you've pretty much eliminated your network as an
issue and need to point the finger at Comcast..

Subject: Loong ping times

 

Hi peoples,

 

I have a weird issue, and I've had it for about 3 weeks (don't worry, it's
work related!)

 

Our Internet connection has been really slow. Web sites time out half the
time, and just load really slowly other times.

 

Our connection is a Comcast connection, and I called then to see if they
could test the speed. They did, and it seemed okay to them, but then said
that we had an old cable modem. They replaced the modem, but it made no
difference.

 

When I use speedtest.net, or speedtest.comcast.net. I usually get good
throughput times (36 Mbps up, 7 Mbps down) but I get a ping time that is
almost ALWAYS 3146 ms. Sometimes it's 3147, sometimes it's 3145, but it's
3146 90% of the time. Weird, huh?!

 

So, I went to my SonicWALL and unchecked the check box that was set to
enable the DHCP server. I thought maybe having two DHCP servers (the
SonicWALL and my own internal DHCP server) was an issue. I don't even know
why the DHCP server was enabled on the firewall.

 

So I disabled that, and I'm still having the same issue - very long ping
times, though now it's somewhat intermittent. At times, I get a ping time of
72ms, and the others, it's right back to 3146,

 

So my question is, where should I be looking to fix this? Essentially, I
have two DNS servers, one DHCP server (not including the SonicWALL,) Then I
have our firewall, and then the cable modem. That's it.

 

Help? I have no clue how to troubleshoot this. 

 

Evan

  We've got an ad-hoc MS Access database which keeps track of which
user a computer is assigned to.

  We're a small shop, so we don't have site codes or anything like
that.  Just "FooPCnnn", where "Foo" is the abbreviated name of the
company, and "nnn" is a sequence number.  I started counting at 100,
for no particular reason beyond "it looked cooler".

  I learned a while ago that embedding details into a computer ID is
usually not worth it.  Especially not a user ID -- equipment changes
assignment too often.

RE: show arp table on netgear GS716T?

[Carl Houseman]

According to the index in the FM that you could RT, there is a CLI presented 
when you telnet to the device, and there's a CLI command "show 
mac-address-table".

Unfortunately, the manual fails to describe any of the CLI commands that are 
referenced in the index... the pages referenced do not exist in the manual.  
Netgear quality at its finest.

I'm not very familiar with these Netgear switches.  Is there a way to view the 
arp table? I can't find it in the web interface.. Not even sure if there's a 
command line interface on this device?

I need to locate where a machine is with a given IP address.. any tips on this

RE: Backup exec 2010 r2

[John Aldrich]

The plan was to have VEEAM running to keep two physical machines in sync 
running the same VMs on both (or at least having a "hot backup" of the other 
server on another physical machine) and to use something like Backup Exec to 
back up the VMs.

No, I think the idea was that it would keep two boxes synchronous, so that if 
the VM failed on one, I could bring the same, exact VM up on another machine 
easily.

Hijack - Veeam - was RE: Backup exec 2010 r2

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

Veeam is good for monitoring and mapping your vmware environment. It (Veeam 
reporter, at least) is licensed per processor (not per core) if you're over 6 
procs.

Its good stuff, but it is also quite expensive. If you need to be able to 
monitor server sprawl (if that is a problem for you) then I would recommend it.

Needless to say, it is a luxury, not a requirement. In my little ideal world, I 
wouldn't want to run without it. But could I? Sure thing.

Re: Backup exec 2010 r2

[Cameron]

I've played with VEEAM fairly recently for my ESXi box. Seemed to work ok
and the speed on this version was not bad at all. I remember trying it
before and the version then had REALLY bad performance.

show arp table on netgear GS716T?

[jesse-rink]

I'm not very familiar with these Netgear switches.  Is there a way to view the 
arp table? I can't find it in the web interface.. Not even sure if there's a 
command line interface on this device?

I need to locate where a machine is with a given IP address.. any tips on this 
netgear gs716t box?

Thanks

Sure, it's just a bit of vbscript, I'll have a look when I'm back in the office

haven't touched since so I can't remember much about it at all.

I have our logon script set to automatically populate the machine description

RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to

[Paul Hutchings]

We have lots that are shared, that's one of the main drivers for doing it that 
way, it doesn't matter who logs on, if you know you need machine XYZ but that's 
all you know, you can just look in ADUC and see who is/was on it, not have to 
consult a spreadsheet/database and still only know who you think should be 
using it.

Re: Workstation names and who it belongs to

[Don Kuhlman]

We don't relate user names to machine names, but keep a spreadsheet or 
inventory 
list to say who has what equipment.

We have used some different naming standards over time. An example is:

1st char = C (computer), L (Laptop), S (Server), P (Printer)
2nd/3rd char = geographical (either state or other code for the site)
4th - 6th char = OS or other descriptor - eg WXP, SBS, 2K3
7th - 9th char = sequence 001, 002, 003

So a windows xp computer (desktop) in Georgia would be CGAWXP001
A Server in California running 2008 could be SCA2K8001

etc...

RE: Network migration advice

[Raper, Jonathan - Eagle]

I would lean toward starting from scratch, or upgrading the larger domain and 
then removing users and computers from the smaller domain and adding them to 
the larger. It would be a piece of cake to export user accounts from both 
domains, double check the list against HR, and then import into the new AD 
infrastructure. You could use Exmerge 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=429163ec-dcdf-47dc-96da-1c12d67327d5&displaylang=en
 to get PSTs from the smaller Exchange environment and then use the 
import-mailbox command to pull them back into the new Exchange 2010 environment.

How many OUs, how many machines, how many GPOs in each domain?

My new thought:
Choose one of the existing domains, and upgrade it.  Install a new DC, and

Rinse, and repeat.

Which option makes more sense?  Any other better ways to tackle this?

Especially if users share PCs, as they do here. We have a number of
staff who rotate between various sites, so each PC could have any of a
dozen users.

We use LANDesk, tho, and can usually match up users by searching on
login name ...

Actually, it didn't seem to work (perhaps I should say it didn't do what
I needed it to do). This, however, did work the way I was hoping:

Z:\>adfind -default -f "&(objectcategory=computer)(name=2012-ACD)"
useraccountcontrol -adcsv | admod -sc ad-disable -move ou=DISABLED,DC=etc

Instead of "uacSet:2", I used the shortcut "-sc ad-disable". The latter
made the account disabled, and the former didn't - "useraccountcontrol"
stayed at 4096/0x1000 - 'WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT'. I guess I was using
it wrong. The "-sc ad-disable" did change the useraccountcontrol to 4098
(i.e., it added in the "2" for ACCOUNTDISABLE).

No, just the names.

I did see that, but got confused. :-)  So I fell back on what I knew
should work.

So now, after lunch, a quick script to open the CSV, read each name,
pass it to ADFIND, and I should be good.

RE: Disabling a large number of computer accounts at once - ADMOD?

You have to pass userAccountControl over because uacSet:2 is actually doing an 
OR - (userAccountrControl OR 2) => userAccountControl. I imagine you should be 
able to do the move in the same operation. 

Does your CSV have a list of DNs? I believe you would actually want to use the

RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to

Besides the actual workstation name, I used to run a Kixtart script ( use
your favorite scripting tho’ ) and appended/piped information on login to a
CSV file, including logged in username and workstation name.  That way I
always had a fairly current cross reference regardless of what moves (
personnel and hardware ) were made without me knowing.

Re: Network migration advice

[Andrew S. Baker]

How much do you trust either of the existing domains?

In the short-term, upgrading one of the existing will be faster.   If you
are concerned about configurations, however, started from scratch would be
better long-term.

Either of your two approaches could be made to work, depending on your
comfort level with the environment.

Might make a HUGE difference if one of the domains has small number of
users?

RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to

[Don Guyer]

We put them in the description field in AD, as you mentioned. If we are
troubleshooting "general use" computers where we need to know who's
logged into a particular machine, I use Hyena.

 

For names, we use geographical_location-position-number (Phila-IT-01,
etc, etc).

RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to

[Ames Matthew B]

We do:
 
-
 
Where:
letter1 = domain the machine sits in
letter2 = d for desktop, l for laptop
username = my logon name.
 
Each machine is assigned to a member of staff and when they leave the
machine is rebuild before assigning to someone else.  If I had multiple
machines, we add a -1, -2, -3, etc onto the end of the string.

Network migration advice

[Eric Brouwer]

Greetings,

I just started work for a company with two local domains.  The second domain
was acquired in a merger.  Here's where it gets weird.  The same guy setup
both original domains/networks so the servers have the same names.  All the
servers ar old, and running Server 2003.  Each domain also has an Exchange
2003 server.

I've been tasked with getting new hardware, updating the network to Server
2008 and Exchange 2010, and eliminating one of the domains.  I'm not sure
what the best plan of attack would be.

My original thought:
Create a third domain, and migrate servers and roles one box at a time,
decommissioning as I go.  I'm just not sure if it's possible to move
mailboxes from an Exchange 2003 server in Domain A to 2010 in Domain C.

My new thought:
Choose one of the existing domains, and upgrade it.  Install a new DC, and
remove the existing one.  Install Exchange, migrate users, and remove 2003.
Rinse, and repeat.

Which option makes more sense?  Any other better ways to tackle this?

Thanks!

Eric
