RE: RE: Backup internet access?
I can get a Data T1 for $250/month/no contract here from a local company. Fortunately I've never had to since I've been lucky enough to have access to cable or DSL at all our locations. And I'll soon have 50/25 fiber from the same company. We are in a relatively small town also. But pricing is obviously subjective to your location and all the red tape your carrier has to deal with to get you service.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of Google and Facebook trying to move in on this - using your login for Google, for example, to log on to myriad different websites, therefore only worrying about whether Google get hacked or not.

Sorry if you have already checked these, but I'd start here: Trusting he's not restricted to or trying to use a VPN on the phone... If it's not a 3G connection, you might not get data.

Hex viewer?
Hey all, Can anyone recommend a good hex viewer that can handle files of arbitrary size (i.e., doesn't read the whole file into memory at once)? All I'm looking for is a table of byte values with offsets on the left and ASCII interpretation on the right. If anyone remembers the hex view mode of Vern Buerg's venerable LIST.COM program from the days of DOS, that's exactly what I'm looking for, except for Win32. (I've got a 166 MB text file extracted from an ancient database table. All the utilities I've thrown at it appear to think it consists of one line roughly 170 million characters wide. There must be some kind of record separator, but I can't figure out what it is. Or maybe it's fixed-length, but then I need to view it to determine the length.) I've done the Google, but there are a great many possibilities, hence my desire for a recommendation from people I know. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

* My New Book Is Out: CYBERHEIST
* My New Book Is Out: CYBERHEIST Hi All, I'm very excited to announce my new book: CYBERHEIST. (Keep on reading for the special NTSYSADMIN subscriber offer at the end of this item): Why I wrote it? To increase executive level awareness that the bad guys have moved from simple identity theft to full fledged robbery of corporate bank accounts (non-profits are targets too), using phishing and social engineering. Most business owners, C-level executives and people in HR functions simply do not know this yet, but cyberheists are happening right now as we speak. Organized cyber crime has developed into a very well funded, sophisticated and technically skilled operation, and their results are very damaging. Unfortunately, management still has a false sense of security. With the rapid proliferation of social media and mobile computing, -people- are the new perimeter! The threat is there, and getting worse. Just have a look at this Google map overlaid with cases, and that is only the tip of the iceberg, there are hundreds more unreported cyberheist cases: http://www.knowbe4.com/resources/cyberheist-map/ So, do you need some ammo to get more budget for your IT security?

RE: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption
Not all outages are simple failed component swaps. As a matter of fact, those tend to be the simple issues.

Re: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption
Indeed. But, the market is touting that the cloud is especially suitable for SMBs, and the large/complex failures that Amazon suffered are not normally experienced in those environments. The SMB market is where I live, and by going to the cloud I would subject my company to a risk for which I don't see a good, or indeed any, mitigation. Hence the question: What's the mitigation for a downed cloud? Kurt On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 10:39, Steven M. Caesare scaes...@caesare.com wrote: Not all outages are simple failed component swaps.

RE: Re: Re: Devices and Printers Panel does not populate-- intermittent at boot
Hi- This is not a printer problem. The Devices and Printers control panel is completely vacant-the green bar at the top shows it loading forever. There are no Devices ( monitor, mouse, keyboard etc) as well as no printers. I can get it to not happen (with rare exception) by disabling the on access anti virus scanning during bootup. Once loaded, I can turn it back on without any ill effects. My own workstation (that I have been monitoring since December 2009) has had everything turned back on for the past 7 weeks with only 4 failures during that time. This makes it really hard to troubleshoot-you cannot tell if anything you did actually worked without many weeks of testing. It has been behaving itself for the past week and a half, so I am back to waiting for the next outbreak. What I am hoping to find out is where the data that is displayed in the Devices and Printers comes from, and what process puts it there. Once I know that, I can go back through my saved Procmon files and try to find what exactly is going wrong. Also, our department is a tree in an AD forest-no other parts of the domain are having this issue. This makes me think it has to do with the boot up authentication into our local AD server.

The other day a few users started flipping to rpc/https. Their internal and external dns is the same (.com) so internally I have autodiscover.domain.com mail.domain.com etc etc .. all registered with a UCC cert and pointing to the internal IP of the Exchange server. The clients were all off RPC internally, and the sales laptops obviously use rpc/https. Today the whole company flipped to rpc/https internally. While this wasn't an issue as far as functionality everyone had to put in their credentials so it caused a lot of confusion. In testing it , if I turn off rpc, outlook works, but when I close and re-open its back on rpc again. I checked GPO Results and nothing is there to push this out. Im thinking because of the autodiscover even though we are internal to the server they are getting changed automatically, just not positive how to change it back. We would like to keep it setup this way for when sales people come in they don't have to make any changes and it just works, but the whole office having to put in their credentials or store them etc will get annoying quickly.

To increase executive level awareness that the bad guys have moved from simple identity theft to full fledged robbery of corporate bank accounts (non-profits are targets too), using phishing and social engineering. Most business owners, C-level executives and people in HR functions simply do not know this yet, but cyberheists are happening right now as we speak. Organized cyber crime has developed into a very well funded, sophisticated and technically skilled operation, and their results are very damaging. Unfortunately, management still has a false sense of security. With the rapid proliferation of social media and mobile computing, -people- are the new perimeter! The threat is there, and getting worse. Just have a look at this Google map overlaid with cases, and that is only the tip of the iceberg, there are hundreds more unreported cyberheist cases: http://www.knowbe4.com/resources/cyberheist-map/ So, do you need some ammo to get more budget for your IT security? You need state-of the art endpoint protection, and I strongly recommend VIPRE for that, combined with end-user security awareness training. Please either forward this link to management and tell them to buy a copy. Or better yet, if you really want to make sure they get the message, get a copy yourself and give it to them. It's enlightening, and written for both IT and non-IT people. Everything is explained in normal terms to make sure we don't put anyone to sleep. Please do me a favor and tell all your friends?

Re: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption
*The SMB market is where I live, and by going to the cloud I would subject my company to a risk for which I don't see a good, or indeed any, mitigation. * There is no single mitigation for any problem. Disaster Recovery planning will differ based on the nature of the disaster being mitigated against. Also, the problems you speak of apply to almost *any* hosted scenario, cloud or otherwise. Basically, you're under the impression that having your hands on the hardware guarantees you some sort of ETA. *Just this week,* we had a situation with our Cisco Unity server -- which is in our collocation space -- where it experienced a drive failure that rendered it unusable, even though its a mirrored drive. The 4-hour replacement took 8 hours due to several fiascos with IBM support, and turned out to be the wrong part. Another 4 hours got us the right part. Then, the rebuild and reimport of data failed on numerous levels and required speaking with no less than 8 or 9 technicians. 72 hours later, we're back up an running. This was with ONE server, and my team had physical access to the box, although that had little bearing on successfully getting it back up. We could not change the hardware in the box, because the install is keyed to specific part numbers, and the system refused to install to only one drive as an emergency. Imagine a larger ecosystem of complexity... The problem is not physical proximity. *ASB *(Professional Bio http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker/bio) *Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market... * On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 1:48 PM, Kurt Buff kurt.b...@gmail.com wrote: Indeed.

Baker asbz...@gmail.com wrote: The SMB market is where I live, and by going to the cloud I would subject my company to a risk for which I don't see a good, or indeed any, mitigation. There is no single mitigation for any problem. Disaster Recovery planning will differ based on the nature of the disaster being mitigated against. True, but not a useful statement. Also, the problems you speak of apply to almost *any* hosted scenario, cloud or otherwise. Basically, you're under the impression that having your hands on the hardware guarantees you some sort of ETA. Yes, and in my world, it's true. ATM, I can't think of a failure that I can't remedy - aside from the major disaster recovery scenarios of things like earthquake or fire. Unfortunately, the company refuses to consider those mitigations - I can't even get a colo host a spare DC and a backup file server. It's not what I recommend, but it's out of my hands. OTOH, I generate two sets of tapes for restore, one for local use, one for off-site storage. Just this week, we had a situation with our Cisco Unity server -- which is in our collocation space -- where it experienced a drive failure that rendered it unusable, even though its a mirrored drive. The 4-hour replacement took 8 hours due to several fiascos with IBM support, and turned out to be the wrong part. Another 4 hours got us the right part. Then, the rebuild and reimport of data failed on numerous levels and required speaking with no less than 8 or 9 technicians. 72 hours later, we're back up an running. This was with ONE server, and my team had physical access to the box, although that had little bearing on successfully getting it back up. We could not change the hardware in the box, because the install is keyed to specific part numbers, and the system refused to install to only one drive as an emergency. Imagine a larger ecosystem of complexity... The problem is not physical proximity. Complexity is the enemy of serenity. Give what you've just said about the Cisco Unity infrastructure, I'd recommend getting rid of it. I like my Shoretel - any failure in that I can remedy with parts that I have in house, or a restore, which I've done in test.

RE: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption
The meh has to do with the supposition that the alternative to the cloud for SMB's are not fraught with similar peril. I maintain that your original assertion (having a 4hour response time for your hardware ) is only a fraction of the scenarios for which there can be an extended outage. In your hypothetical scenario to ASB, with their Exchange server hosted in their own environment (with their 4 hour hardware SLA) I've heard of just as many scenarios along the lines of Whoops.. you mean we were supposed to be backing up those log files, and not just deleting them? type scenarios. I'd venture that the redundancy and discipline at a place like Amazon , even with i's increased complexity, provides for a better average uptime guarantees than what many SMB's can muster. -sc -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 4:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption Meh?

The discussions on the N++ section of SF seems to agree, saying it's based on an text edit component called Scintilla which has to have the entire thing in memory. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt- software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt- software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt- software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

RE: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption
ATM, I can't think of a failure that I can't remedy Therein lies the rub Murphy can.[1] -sc [1] This was discussed on another non-existent list recently. -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 4:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 12:13, Andrew S. Baker asbz...@gmail.com wrote: The SMB market is where I live, and by going to the cloud I would subject my company to a risk for which I don't see a good, or indeed any, mitigation. There is no single mitigation for any problem. Disaster Recovery planning will differ based on the nature of the disaster being mitigated against. True, but not a useful statement. Also, the problems you speak of apply to almost *any* hosted scenario, cloud or otherwise. Basically, you're under the impression that having your hands on the hardware guarantees you some sort of ETA. Yes, and in my world, it's true. ATM, I can't think of a failure that I can't remedy - aside from the major disaster recovery scenarios of things like earthquake or fire. Unfortunately, the company refuses to consider those mitigations - I can't even get a colo host a spare DC and a backup file server. It's not what I recommend, but it's out of my hands. OTOH, I generate two sets of tapes for restore, one for local use, one for off-site storage. Just this week, we had a situation with our Cisco Unity server -- which is in our collocation space -- where it experienced a drive failure that rendered it unusable, even though its a mirrored drive. The 4-hour replacement took 8 hours due to several fiascos with IBM support, and turned out to be the wrong part. Another 4 hours got us the right part. Then, the rebuild and reimport of data failed on numerous levels and required speaking with no less than 8 or 9 technicians. 72 hours later, we're back up an running. This was with ONE server, and my team had physical access to the box, although that had little bearing on successfully getting it back up. We could not change the hardware in the box, because the install is keyed to specific part numbers, and the system refused to install to only one drive as an emergency. Imagine a larger ecosystem of complexity... The problem is not physical proximity. Complexity is the enemy of serenity. Give what you've just said about the Cisco Unity infrastructure, I'd recommend getting rid of it. I like my Shoretel - any failure in that I can remedy with parts that I have in house, or a restore, which I've done in test.
