RE: [OT] Citibank worse at security than Sony

As a software engineer I would feel rather guilty to develop a system that was 
that poor. I used to have a Citi credit card. I had better check it is no 
long active.

I doubt any fat cat bankers signed off, knowingly, on an insecure site. People 
going to jail would be the IT folks who should have known better.

That said, do you know the ins and outs of every single system you've got 
control over?

Re: Move virtual machines to a new physical host - VMWare Server for Windows

2011-06-14 Thread Bill Humphries
Yeah, not that I have tons of ESXi experience, but I have just removed 
the snapshots prior to the move.  I'm guessing you don't want to do this 
in case you need to rollback the server to a previous snapshot?

I’ve not done this in particular, but I would expect that you
could manually move the vmdk files along with the snapshot deltas
by moving the whole folder to a new machine and it would work fine.

Hi,

 


I have VMWare Server for Windows (the free one)  installed on a
machine which hosts 3 VM’s for test lab purposes.  I want to move
these VM’s to a new machine and decommission the existing
machine.  I have migrated one machine successfully to the new host
and this is running along merrily.  However I suspect the
remaining two VM’s may be a different proposition altogether as
they have had snapshots taken whereas the VM I have migrated
already did not have any snapshots.  Has anyone achieved this
themselves and could give me any pointers?  I have read a couple
of articles around fixing the CID chain.  Is this necessary?  If
so how did you do it?  I am about to folllow this advice:

RE: Dell Powerdge Disk Failure

Thanks Jon.  I sorted it in the end by clearing the foreign config on
two disks from a redundant server in the BIOS configuration utility and
created a mirror whilst preserving the Raid5 array.  However in future I
will bear in mind that Dell support is free!

which one to use.  I had forgotten to clear the on-disk one in my haste

Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 09:45:33 +0100
From: mark.robin...@cips.org
To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for some advice with a Dell PowerEdge server at one of my
clients.  I am a HP man predominantly so my knowledge of Dell disk
configurations is minimal.

 

Issue:

The Dell server in question is reporting a fault on the LED display 

"The following virtual disks are missing: (0)

If you proceed (or load the configuration utility), these virtual disks
will be removed from your configuration. If you wish to use them at a
later time, they will have to be imported. If you believe these virtual
disks should be present, please power off your system and check your
cables to ensure all disks are present. Press any key to continue, or
'C' to load the configuration utility."

The disks have been re-seated and cables have been checked yet the error
still persists.  

 

The server has only four hard disks split into two virtual disks.
Unfortunately I cannot simply hot-swap the hard disk with the fault as
there is only a single system disk - there is no mirroring.  However the
second virtual disk and subsequent 'Data' partition uses a RAID5
configuration split over the three remaining HDDs.  I am not so fussed
about the system disk as I have spares and I can rebuild the system
partition but this time with a mirrored configuration over two disks.
What I am worried about is the data on the disks split over the RAID5
partition.  It is imperative that I retrieve the data on this partition.
I am looking for advice on how best to go about this please. If I remove
the faulty disk, insert two blank spares, create a virtual disk, mirror
them and then build the OS, will the second, existing virtual disk in
the RAID5 partition be available to the OS?  Should I try and retrieve
the data from the disks in the RAID5 partition before attempting to so
anything (if so, what would be the best method for this?)? 

 

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

 

Many thanks,

 

Mark

RE: Move virtual machines to a new physical host - VMWare Server for Windows

2011-06-14 Thread Mark Robinson
Thanks Scott.  Yes that's what I thought!  However I've just fired up
one of the VM's (with Snapshots) that I copied over to the new host and
the VM is only utilizing the original virtual disks, not the data
subsequently stored within the snapshots.  So I have a running VM, just
without half of the data I had previously. So I need to somehow
encourage VMServer to acknowledge the snapshots.

 

Has anyone successfully migrated VM's with snapshots to a new
installation of VMWare Server before?

I've not done this in particular, but I would expect that you could
manually move the vmdk files along with the snapshot deltas by moving
the whole folder to a new machine and it would work fine.

Hi,

 

I have VMWare Server for Windows (the free one)  installed on a machine
which hosts 3 VM's for test lab purposes.  I want to move these VM's to
a new machine and decommission the existing machine.  I have migrated
one machine successfully to the new host and this is running along
merrily.  However I suspect the remaining two VM's may be a different
proposition altogether as they have had snapshots taken whereas the VM I
have migrated already did not have any snapshots.  Has anyone achieved
this themselves and could give me any pointers?  I have read a couple of
articles around fixing the CID chain.  Is this necessary?  If so how did
you do it?  I am about to folllow this advice:

RE: GPO Deployed MSI Packages

I uninstall the old package at every upgrade. Most installs are pretty quick

What is you guys practice in the situation where you deploy an MSI, then deploy 
an
upgrade to it, and now receive an upgrade to that?

The gpo starts to get ugly as these add up, and the file server with these apps 
starts to
accumulate data I could otherwise archive/remove.

What's the least obtrusive way to deal with this, I presume remove all the 
packages in
question one by one forcing an uninstallation, then redeploy the new one but 
how do
you ensure the order is met and it works correctly?

RE: Tandberg/Cisco video streaming

2011-06-14 Thread Michael B. Smith
Cisco provides SPIFFs and marketing dollars and some hardware loans for 
projects that could lead to significant revenue down-the-road. Partners are 
expected to put some skin in the game too, in terms of training, deployment, 
and support resources. It sounds as if your partner doesn't want to put their 
skin in the game.
I'd go look for another partner. Minimally I'd have the current partner detail 
the non-zero costs and then have a face-to-face discussion with the Cisco rep 
(without the partner present).

Anyone using Tandberg (Cisco) video conferencing product?  It looks like a good 
fit for our tele-medicine unit we are building.  The problem is a local 
reseller wants us to pay $56k for the system as part of a pilot.  I've worked 
with many vendors and products over the years, and never had to pay for piloted 
products.

The vendor claims "non-zero" costs have to be covered.  As a past contractor, 
that seems like crap to me.  You want my business, provide the product and 
support while we test it.  If it works, we'll go with you.  If not, sorry.  You 
have to spend money to get customers.

Or is this just me?  Or is this just King Cisco's business model?  We are not a 
Cisco shop otherwise.

Re: OT: Capturing video from YouTube?

2011-06-14 Thread Daniel Rodriguez
Also, Flight of the Intruder is pretty good. But those are A4's. Start of
the movie is pretty good. Toward the end is also good. Depending how old
your son is you may want to sit with him while watching it because of some
of the adult themes in the movie.

I would imagine that your son likes the F14 is because of the way the wings
fold back. Some of the Anime, like Robotech and Transformers, used some of
those designs in their drawings, because, back then, it wad considered high
tech and it looked neat/cool/awesome.

Re: User accounts for shared folders

2011-06-14 Thread Kurt Buff
Some classes of mistakes are easier to contain if permissions are
maintained at both points, it's true.

However, it's somewhat harder to manipulate share permissions remotely
than it is NTFS permissions, and it's two things to remember to do
rather than one when setting permissions. I've run into situations
over the years where share permissions have clouded troubleshooting
when others have applied them, and NTFS permissions are robust enough
that they're enough for my purposes.

I suppose it's the different philosophies that are represented by:

 "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket"
and
 "Put all of your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully"

Either works.

Wasn't necessarily stating a should/shoudn't - was stating my

 On every share there is no system account listed. Only Domain admins
 & domain users.

 My google kung-fu seems to be lacking today but is there
 anything/reason why the system account would not show up?

 System account does exist on the machine – non shared directories have it.
 Just the shares that seem affected.

 Windows 2003 domain (if that makes any difference)

 Not just the system with infected files on the shares – all the
 servers are like this including clean ones (that have not been
 touched by the virus yet)

 Anyone have any kb articles or something I can look at that would
 explain this? (and hopefully put them back to normal)

If so, would you mind dropping me an email off list, especially if you have any 
experience with the SQL databases it uses behind the scenes - I need to extract 
some data from the system, and some of the data seems to rather well hidden.

Thanks,

Hey Gary,

Why don't you unsub, no need to be a jag on this list.  It is very common

Re: Capturing video from YouTube?

2011-06-14 Thread Gary Slinger
Perhaps.  My (obnoxious, I grant you) point is that "I agree, and here's why, 
with examples" is useful. 

"+1" comes from lists/boards that maintained a post count. It made a /tiny/ bit 
of sense there - 'please increase my post count by one!!!'.  Here, it's just 
noise. 

And if noise is ok, I figured my comment was just as valuable.

RE: User accounts for shared folders

2011-06-14 Thread Ken Schaefer
LocalSystem has full control over the local machine, and can authenticate as 
machinename$ to remote machines (which is what would be required for services 
that are running as LocalSystem but need to access remote machines, without 
some proxy process). Additionally for LocalSystem to access shares on the same 
machine, it would still have full control (unless you change the perms). 
Anyhoo, the previous is merely technical limitations - i.e. what is possible. 
Am still curious to know why it shouldn't have that access.

Cheers
Ken

I expected that System would have access to shares because they are normally 
for network access, and according to everything I've read, System doesn't have 
that. AFAIK, System is only for access to resources local to the machine.

Someone else noted that System is used in DFS (FRS), which is surprising to me, 
but I don't think he'd be joshing me, so I believe him, because I have never 
had cause to use DFS.

Now, if System can access shares that are local to the machine, that's perhaps 
not quite as surprising, but does seem a fairly odd way of doing things.

It may be common, and can even be said to ease administration somewhat, but
I prefer to apply appropriate security at *both* levels.

Makes containment of mistakes much easier.

Subject: Dell Powerdge Disk Failure
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 09:45:33 +0100
From: mark.robin...@cips.org
To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com



Hi all, I’m looking for some advice with a Dell PowerEdge server at one of my 
clients.  I am a HP man predominantly so my knowledge of Dell disk 
configurations is minimal. Issue:The Dell server in question is reporting a 
fault on the LED display 

“The following virtual disks are missing: (0)If you proceed (or load the 
configuration utility), these virtual disks will be removed from your 
configuration. If you wish to use them at a later time, they will have to be 
imported. If you believe these virtual disks should be present, please power 
off your system and check your cables to ensure all disks are present. Press 
any key to continue, or 'C' to load the configuration utility.”The disks have 
been re-seated and cables have been checked yet the error still persists.   The 
server has only four hard disks split into two virtual disks.  Unfortunately I 
cannot simply hot-swap the hard disk with the fault as there is only a single 
system disk – there is no mirroring.  However the second virtual disk and 
subsequent ‘Data’ partition uses a RAID5 configuration split over the three 
remaining HDDs.  I am not so fussed about the system disk as I have spares and 
I can rebuild the system partition but this time with a mirrored configuration 
over two disks.  What I am worried about is the data on the disks split over 
the RAID5 partition.  It is imperative that I retrieve the data on this 
partition.  I am looking for advice on how best to go about this please. If I 
remove the faulty disk, insert two blank spares, create a virtual disk, mirror 
them and then build the OS, will the second, existing virtual disk in the RAID5 
partition be available to the OS?  Should I try and retrieve the data from the 
disks in the RAID5 partition before attempting to so anything (if so, what 
would be the best method for this?)?  I would greatly appreciate any help on 
this. Many thanks, Mark

Virtual Routing and Hyper-V

2011-06-14 Thread Mark Smith
Hi All,

I have a small server running Server 2008 R2 with the Hyper-V and RRAS (NAT
& Routing options) roles installed.
My server has 2 physical NICS.
I'm trying to create multiple subnets and have the VM's on all the
subnets communicate.
So I've created 5 virtual networks (subnets) within Hyper-V. I have been
able to add 2 of the virtual networks to the Routing config in RRAS, but
when I try to add a 3rd it's not listed. When I right click 'Network
Interfaces' under RRAS in Server Manager and select 'New Interface' I
receive an error that there are no new network interfaces available.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Re: User accounts for shared folders

2011-06-14 Thread Kurt Buff
I expected that System would have access to shares because they are
normally for network access, and according to everything I've read,
System doesn't have that. AFAIK, System is only for access to
resources local to the machine.

Someone else noted that System is used in DFS (FRS), which is
surprising to me, but I don't think he'd be joshing me, so I believe
him, because I have never had cause to use DFS.

Now, if System can access shares that are local to the machine, that's
perhaps not quite as surprising, but does seem a fairly odd way of
doing things.

RE: Windows 7 - Multiple NIC binding order

2011-06-14 Thread Bob Fronk
True, but it wasn't doing that.  It was using the lower bandwidth connection.

For some reason the Interface metric was greyed out for the lower bandwidth 
NIC.  I uninstalled it and re-installed it and can now set a higher metric on 
the USB NIC.  This has resolved the issue.

Subject: Windows 7 - Multiple NIC binding order

Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit with two 1GB NICs.  (NIC 1 is internal.  NIC 2 is 
USB dongle) Each NIC is connected to a different subnet, LAN 1 = Domain LAN.  
LAN 2 = Local Test network.   LAN1 is the domain LAN and has a 45mbps Internet 
connection.  LAN2 is a test network and is connected has a 20mbps Internet 
connection.  LAN1 is 192.168.x.x.  LAN2 is 10.10.x.x.   Both are DHCP.  Both 
are 1Gbit networks.

I have set the binding order for network services to use NIC1(LAN 1) first.  
The wireless (not connected) second.  NIC2 (LAN 2) third.  Windows has 
designated LAN 1 as "Domain Network" and LAN 2 as "Work network".  However, at 
each log on, the OS is using NIC2 for external traffic (Such as WEB, Outlook 
connection, etc.).  I can still connect to the domain LAN, however it is not 
primary.  I have to unplug the network cable for the OS to switch to LAN1.  If 
I plug the cable back in, the OS will switch back to NIC2 at various intervals.

I use the test network for some VMs I run on my PC for testing purposes.  I 
need external access for these VMs, but I do not want them on the domain 
network.

This was working fine for me until my old 100mbps USB NIC experienced a "drop 
and break it" incident.  The new USB NIC is 1Gbit, so I am guessing that 
Windows sees this as a "better or faster" network and somehow makes it priority 
over the Domain network.

Beyond setting the binding order (which I have done), does anyone know another 
way to force Windows to use "think" LAN1 is the best priority network?

Add another mailbox to the distribution list, and then write a simple

Windows 7 - Multiple NIC binding order

2011-06-14 Thread Bob Fronk
Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit with two 1GB NICs.  (NIC 1 is internal.  NIC 2 is 
USB dongle) Each NIC is connected to a different subnet, LAN 1 = Domain LAN.  
LAN 2 = Local Test network.   LAN1 is the domain LAN and has a 45mbps Internet 
connection.  LAN2 is a test network and is connected has a 20mbps Internet 
connection.  LAN1 is 192.168.x.x.  LAN2 is 10.10.x.x.   Both are DHCP.  Both 
are 1Gbit networks.

I have set the binding order for network services to use NIC1(LAN 1) first.  
The wireless (not connected) second.  NIC2 (LAN 2) third.  Windows has 
designated LAN 1 as "Domain Network" and LAN 2 as "Work network".  However, at 
each log on, the OS is using NIC2 for external traffic (Such as WEB, Outlook 
connection, etc.).  I can still connect to the domain LAN, however it is not 
primary.  I have to unplug the network cable for the OS to switch to LAN1.  If 
I plug the cable back in, the OS will switch back to NIC2 at various intervals.

I use the test network for some VMs I run on my PC for testing purposes.  I 
need external access for these VMs, but I do not want them on the domain 
network.

This was working fine for me until my old 100mbps USB NIC experienced a "drop 
and break it" incident.  The new USB NIC is 1Gbit, so I am guessing that 
Windows sees this as a "better or faster" network and somehow makes it priority 
over the Domain network.

Beyond setting the binding order (which I have done), does anyone know another 
way to force Windows to use "think" LAN1 is the best priority network?

  Well, 10 GB/month, 50 years, 10 * 12 * 50 = 6000 GB (plus the 300 GB

  You can buy 6 TB for, what, $300 these days?  ;-)  Seriously, that's
not a lot of storage, even at current SAN prices.  And it's only going
to get cheaper.  50 years from now that will prolly fit on a $2 flash
drive (or whatever the equivalent is then).

  My first thought is to keep it all online (with regular read
verifications, if your storage doesn't do that already) and be done
with it.

  How often they need access is really the important one.  A cave in
Nevada is cheap, but access time stinks.

  If you do go with offline archiving, I would store the data
redundantly, and at different times.  For example, burn a few copies
now.  Then in 5 years, burn another set of copies, and check the first
set.  Only then remove the originals from online storage.  Then check
all copies every year or so.

  Multiple copies at once means a single element failure doesn't kill
you.  Multiple generations means if the DVDs start to die after X
years, you'll have time to regenerate on to new media.

  The cost of the above compared to the cost of keeping it online
likely means taking it offline isn't worth it.

  You might be able to outsource this effectively.  You'd have to
really trust the contractor, though.  If it's privacy sensitive, I'd
suggest using your own encryption, and giving the ciphertext to the
contractor.  Just make sure you protect the keys well.

  I'm trying to figure this out.  So...

Virtual Disk 1 = Physical Disk 1 (single disk) Virtual Disk 2 = Physical Disks 
2, 3, 4 (RAID 5)

  Why would you do that?  :)

  Since it sounds like you don't have a backup of some important data, I would 
start there before I started changing things.

  I would boot from CD and see if I could copy the data off to network or 
external media.  Linux supports all the Dell RAID controllers, last I knew, so 
I'd prolly start there.  If you're not a Linux guy, you could try UBCD4Win.

  Call Dell tech support.  It's free forever.  No contract needed.

  Here's my guesswork:

  I'm trying to figure this out.  So...

Virtual Disk 1 = Physical Disk 1 (single disk)
Virtual Disk 2 = Physical Disks 2, 3, 4 (RAID 5)

  Why would you do that?  :)

Re: Dell Powerdge Disk Failure

2011-06-14 Thread RichardMcClary
Contact Dell Server Support.  They don't care how old the machine is; they 
simply want a Dell server back up and running.  A current service contract 
only becomes an issue if you need a new disk, or if you want to call 
first.  Their chat sessions are pretty responive.

Dell Powerdge Disk Failure






Hi all,
 
I?m looking for some advice with a Dell PowerEdge server at one of my 
clients.  I am a HP man predominantly so my knowledge of Dell disk 
configurations is minimal.
 
Issue:
The Dell server in question is reporting a fault on the LED display 

?The following virtual disks are missing: (0)
If you proceed (or load the configuration utility), these virtual disks 
will be removed from your configuration. If you wish to use them at a 
later time, they will have to be imported. If you believe these virtual 
disks should be present, please power off your system and check your 
cables to ensure all disks are present. Press any key to continue, or 'C' 
to load the configuration utility.?
The disks have been re-seated and cables have been checked yet the error 
still persists. 
 
The server has only four hard disks split into two virtual disks. 
Unfortunately I cannot simply hot-swap the hard disk with the fault as 
there is only a single system disk ? there is no mirroring.  However the 
second virtual disk and subsequent ?Data? partition uses a RAID5 
configuration split over the three remaining HDDs.  I am not so fussed 
about the system disk as I have spares and I can rebuild the system 
partition but this time with a mirrored configuration over two disks. What 
I am worried about is the data on the disks split over the RAID5 
partition.  It is imperative that I retrieve the data on this partition. I 
am looking for advice on how best to go about this please. If I remove the 
faulty disk, insert two blank spares, create a virtual disk, mirror them 
and then build the OS, will the second, existing virtual disk in the RAID5 
partition be available to the OS?  Should I try and retrieve the data from 
the disks in the RAID5 partition before attempting to so anything (if so, 
what would be the best method for this?)? 
 
I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
 
Many thanks,
 
Mark

In Outlook rules, you can set up a rule to print the email when conditions

Don't know whether this includes the attachment - give it a try!

Dell Powerdge Disk Failure

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for some advice with a Dell PowerEdge server at one of my

configurations is minimal.

 

Issue:

The Dell server in question is reporting a fault on the LED display 

"The following virtual disks are missing: (0)

The disks have been re-seated and cables have been checked yet the error
still persists.  

 

The server has only four hard disks split into two virtual disks.
Unfortunately I cannot simply hot-swap the hard disk with the fault as
there is only a single system disk - there is no mirroring.  However the
second virtual disk and subsequent 'Data' partition uses a RAID5

I am looking for advice on how best to go about this please. If I remove
the faulty disk, insert two blank spares, create a virtual disk, mirror

the RAID5 partition be available to the OS?  Should I try and retrieve
the data from the disks in the RAID5 partition before attempting to so
anything (if so, what would be the best method for this?)? 

 

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
