SBS 2008 Configured w/RAID 10 - Disk Failure - Restore Options
Folks, I need some help. Our SBS 2008 server (Dell Poweredge t 300) is configured with RAID 10, 4x250GB drives on a PERC 6 i controller. It appears we have one drive that is on it's way out, it started producing errors earlier in the week and on Wednesday about 2 PM it took the RAID off line and would not restore with all 4 drives in a foreign state. After clearing the preserved cache, it would not allow the foreign config to be imported, the RAID came back with 3 of the 4 on and one rebuilding. After the server was restarted a chkdsk was ran and the process found quite a few error that it appeared to correct on the OS partition. The server came up online with users able to log in and get to the Church Management software but not able to connect to the Exchange server. I have not parsed through all the error events but there were several stating registry problems and we also do not have DHCP any more. I can not seem to get DHCP running at all. The next bump on this road is the most recent known good backup is about 2 months old and there has of course been quite a bit of activity in the CMS over the 2 months, as well as some other stuff, but that data is stored on the data partition which had very few errors on chkdsk. The CMS data seems to be ok, and I can use it's backup utility to to recover it over it's data up to last week or early this week so if I had to use the 2 month old system backup to recover the OS partition. My real question is what are my recovery options? (1) A system state restore? (2) OS partition restore? (3) OS partition and system state restore? (4) other?

Most of our desktops here are either IBM or Lenovo and are rock solid.

RE: lenovo workstations/desktops?
I have *little* experience with Lenovo/IBM machines. We have a couple older machines, and I have to say, I have no problems with the hardware, other than it is a few generations out of date (i.e. P3/P4 instead of the latest multi-core CPU, etc.) Lenovo/IBM have a reputation for being rock-solid hardware, which I think is probably mostly well-deserved. On the other hand, you're definitely paying for that reputation. Still, if you're wanting to buy some hardware that will last for a VERY long time with little maintenance, I think you could do a lot worse than Lenovo/IBM. OTOH, you'll probably end up paying a good premium over, say Dell or some other name-brand PC. You might look at refurbished IBM/Lenovo hardware if you want to get IBM/Lenovo hardware but don't really want to pay the full price. Off-lease stuff like that still has a lot of life left in it and so might be a good value. -Original Message- From: Bill Humphries [mailto:nt...@hedgedigger.com] Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 4:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: lenovo workstations/desktops?

First step: Back a full backup of the current state, to *new media*. (Keep that old backup around untouched.) If the regular backup solution won't work, use a plain file copy of everything you can, to an external medium (external USB-attach hard drive, for example). It may have some bad data, but if the RAID array acts up again, something may be better than nothing. If there are data export options in the software, use those as well (in addition to, not instead of). This may be helpful if you have to restore an old backup and then try and feed the more recent changes back in to it. I suspect you're going to have to restore the system from the backup. It sounds like the system's fairly well hosed. Putting a system back together at that point is often like putting Humpty Dumpty back together. Call experts. Call Dell for help with the RAID controller. You should have done that when things first went nuts; there may have been a better way to revive the RAID array. There may also be firmware updates you need to install on the controller or drives. Call your application software vendors for assistance analyzing the state of their software, and figuring out where to go from here. They may have ways to test the integrity of their database, or to export data in a way Call Microsoft on Exchange and Windows issues. -- 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

Well, my point was that off-lease stuff typically still has a LOT of life left in it, for a fraction of the price of brand new. :D But I see your point. Just pointing out that anyone that is budget conscious might want to consider it.

Re: lenovo workstations/desktops?
Actually, there is a good reason to go 'off-lease' ...depending of course... One place had a mix'o'crap (VERY old crap) and they would not let me refresh everything, so I found a good deal on off-lease and bought about 250 of them (all identical models). Since they were the same, ghosting them was a snap...no fuss, no muss...1 image required and I had 10 or so sitting on the shelf pre-imaged and ready to go in case of any failures (which there were almost none).

RE: Powershell help
So I replied to him offlist. But the application issue is pretty generic.
Note that I am not a master-developer. I just get by.
There are 3 things at play here:
1] COM+, while it can be easily used within PowerShell, doesn't
really respect the garbage collector (nor will it ever - it's not a managed
interface)
2] .Net holds file locks until the object owning the file lock
is disposed and its memory is garbage collected
3] NTFS doesn't allow you to actually remove a file while a
file lock still exists - however it does allow you to enqueue a single pending
file removal operation
And I guess a fourth one:
4] Unless you specifically tell PowerShell to clean up, it
doesn't clean up until the PowerShell session exits
Now, the first three items are not PowerShell specific. They are true in all
Windows programming and something that any developer eventually learns to
handle (or they just release crappy code, that happens too).
PowerShell hides most of this from you because of item (4). You close your
PowerShell session - and most things get cleaned up. Most PowerShell scripts do
not illustrate proper cleanup because of this. COM doesn't get automatically
cleaned up, but that's RELATIVELY low-use.
So, the first thing I illustrate is about items 1 - 3 (you need a writable
c:\temp directory for this to work):
Echo hi`nhi`nhi`n c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file.txt ) ## bp stands
for body part, I is for interface
$iBP.SaveToFile( c:\temp\file2.txt ) ## create owner-lock on
file2.txt
$iBP = $null
[GC]::Collect() ## this releases lock on file2.txt but not on
file.txt, because iBP is simply an interface on imsg.
Erase c:\temp\file2.txt ## does remove file
Erase c:\temp\file.txt ## does not remove file - but does
create a pending remove operation
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)
$imsg = $null
[GC]::Collect()
## file should be gone
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)
This example show how NTFS allows you to create a pending delete operation and
it will execute that operation when the file lock is removed. But the file
doesn't actually get removed until the lock is released.
It also illustrates how to clean up these specific COM objects and release
their memory and it proves the operation of each of items 1 - 3.
The second example is more complicated. In this case, we have a CDO.Message
object that has zero or more attachments. So the example can be self-contained,
we create the message and it's attachments. Where is message actually comes
from is irrelevant to the example.
# part A
Echo hi`nhi`nhi`n c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP1 = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file.txt ) ## bp stands
for body part, I is for interface
cp c:\temp\file.txt c:\temp\file1.txt ## to have a second file
to attach
$iBP2 = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file1.txt )
In the second part of the example, we process the message and split out each
attachment and forward that attachment (using email) to someone else. Note that
the message itself is a COM+ object, but we use a .Net mechanism for sending
email. In order for this to interop between COM and .Net properly, we save the
message to a file as an intermediate location, and we want to clean up that
file when we are done.
# part B
$i = 2
Foreach( $attach in $imsg.Attachments ) ## examine each
attachment in the message
{
$attach.SaveToFile(
c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt )
$fileattachment =
c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt
$i++
$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient(
win2008r2ex2010, 25 )
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage(
mich...@theessentialexchange.commailto:mich...@theessentialexchange.com,
mich...@smithcons.commailto:mich...@smithcons.com, Attachment test , )
$attachment = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment(
$fileattachment )
$msg.attachments.add( $attachment )
$mailer.send($msg)
# clean up mailer - but note - I CANNOT fully
clean up $attach because $imsg doesn't belong to my scope!
# most powershell scripts don't bother to
do this
$attachment.Dispose() ## we force-dispose of
the attachment. Otherwise, because of the interop, we have a hanging file lock

RE: Powershell help
Except for the email stuff, it worked perfect on my Win7 PC.
Webster
From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com]
Subject: RE: Powershell help
So.. I replied to him offlist. But the application issue is pretty generic.
Note that I am not a master-developer. I just get by.
There are 3 things at play here:
1] COM+, while it can be easily used within PowerShell,
doesn't really respect the garbage collector (nor will it ever - it's not a
managed interface)
2] .Net holds file locks until the object owning the file
lock is disposed and its memory is garbage collected
3] NTFS doesn't allow you to actually remove a file while a
file lock still exists - however it does allow you to enqueue a single
pending file removal operation
And I guess a fourth one:
4] Unless you specifically tell PowerShell to clean up, it
doesn't clean up until the PowerShell session exits
Now, the first three items are not PowerShell specific. They are true in all
Windows programming and something that any developer eventually learns to
handle (or they just release crappy code, that happens too).
PowerShell hides most of this from you because of item (4). You close your
PowerShell session - and most things get cleaned up. Most PowerShell scripts
do not illustrate proper cleanup because of this. COM doesn't get
automatically cleaned up, but that's RELATIVELY low-use.
So, the first thing I illustrate is about items 1 - 3 (you need a writable
c:\temp directory for this to work):
Echo hi`nhi`nhi`n c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file.txt ) ## bp
stands for body part, I is for interface
$iBP.SaveToFile( c:\temp\file2.txt ) ## create owner-lock
on file2.txt
$iBP = $null
[GC]::Collect() ## this releases lock on file2.txt but not
on file.txt, because iBP is simply an interface on imsg.
Erase c:\temp\file2.txt ## does remove file
Erase c:\temp\file.txt ## does not remove file - but does
create a pending remove operation
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)
$imsg = $null
[GC]::Collect()
## file should be gone
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)
This example show how NTFS allows you to create a pending delete operation
and it will execute that operation when the file lock is removed. But the
file doesn't actually get removed until the lock is released.
It also illustrates how to clean up these specific COM objects and release
their memory and it proves the operation of each of items 1 - 3.
The second example is more complicated. In this case, we have a CDO.Message
object that has zero or more attachments. So the example can be
self-contained, we create the message and it's attachments. Where is message
actually comes from is irrelevant to the example.
# part A
Echo hi`nhi`nhi`n c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP1 = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file.txt ) ## bp
stands for body part, I is for interface
cp c:\temp\file.txt c:\temp\file1.txt ## to have a second
file to attach
$iBP2 = $imsg.AddAttachment( c:\temp\file1.txt )
In the second part of the example, we process the message and split out each
attachment and forward that attachment (using email) to someone else. Note
that the message itself is a COM+ object, but we use a .Net mechanism for
sending email. In order for this to interop between COM and .Net properly,
we save the message to a file as an intermediate location, and we want to
clean up that file when we are done.
# part B
$i = 2
Foreach( $attach in $imsg.Attachments ) ## examine each
attachment in the message
{
$attach.SaveToFile(
c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt )
$fileattachment =
c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt
$i++
$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient(
win2008r2ex2010, 25 )
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage(
mich...@theessentialexchange.com, mich...@smithcons.com, Attachment
test , )
$attachment = new-object
Net.Mail.Attachment( $fileattachment )
$msg.attachments.add( $attachment )
$mailer.send($msg)
# clean up mailer - but note - I CANNOT
fully clean up $attach because $imsg doesn't belong to my scope!
# most powershell scripts don't bother

On the other hand, you're definitely paying for that reputation. Still, if you're wanting to buy some hardware that will last for a VERY long time with little maintenance, I think you could do a lot worse than Lenovo/IBM.

Host is a Dell Inspiron Laptop XP Professional 32 bit NIC- is Broadcom 440x 10/100. Connected to the laptop is a Western digital 500GB USB Drive (not sure of the speed but think it is 7200). Method I use is on the Host Server (the Laptop) use GhostServer and boot the client from a USB Pen Drive go to ghost application/ghostcast/Multicast connect via predetermined Static IP. (2)Also does anyone know if sysprep still needs to be incorporated in Windows 7 images?

Re: Contingency For Home Workers
Considering where I work most of the non-IT users and all of the customers would not want anyone other than IT controlling the hardware and software for all the machines at work. Think HIPPA, SOX, and a couple more. Even the IT users using non-company hardware cann't do much without connecting to Office machines to do what they want. A select few only have direct access to the servers and that only thru company controlled machines. The rest only have access to a set of machines that could be used to control/manage the servers. Remote access to servers and desktops is restricted to a central set of machines with very tight controls. IT users using non-company machines like iPads are severely restricted in what they can and can not do. Sure makes it nice that the company supplies IT users needing remote access nice laptops but if you are out an about and get an alert of an issue looking at what the issue is can be done from a iPad or BB without having to get an Internet connection and only find out it is something fairly minor that would wait until you get home to deal with. The redundancies are very nice something major happens and the entire network could be switched to the redundant network in seconds if not less.

If it needed rebuilding the owner was required to supply all original disks for the reinstall. Best effort only even then and at IT's convience.

We have a number of home workers who have remote access capability based around Oracle’s Secure Global Desktop (a Tarantella WebTop derivative) and RSA SecurID token technology. The setup is ideal: we give the users a SecurID token and they use their own home broadband connection and hardware (PC/Laptop) to access the company systems. However we had a scenario over last weekend whereby one home worker decided to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9 and yes you’ve guessed it Oracle’s Secure Global Desktop stopped working due to Java issues. I’ve now been asked to come up with a “cost effective” contingency plan should such a situation arise again. My initial thoughts would be to get the users to use Firefox or Safari instead of IE. Although I don’t think you can force users to use something they may be do not want to, especially as it their own personal kit. So, it brings me to the question of how do other people/businesses deal with the whole home worker scenario, especially when faced with hardware issues or software upgrades gone bad?

RE: Auto Archive Loosing Email
My first thought is how big is his Archive, is it over 2GB? From: Shawn Everett [sh...@tandac.com] Sent: Friday, May 13, 2011 3:54 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Auto Archive Loosing Email Hi Guys, I'm very confused and hope someone can help shed some light on the situation. I have a client who has AutoArchive turned on within Outlook 2007. Connected to Exchange 2003. Suposedly and I haven't seen this myself emails are autoarchiving and NOT being put into his archive folders. For example under: Inbox\Projects\Client X there are several emails that have been auto archived. Checking Archive Folders\Projects\Client X shows none of the missing emails. Can anyone provide a suggestion or two?
