Re: Fiber splice question
+1 Cisco makes them, but I've never seen one from anywhere else. They are intended to go from a terminated fiber end to a transceiver of the alternate type. My understanding is that the fiber has to be offset very specifically for it to worknot something I would consider very practical in the fieldit may not even be possible outside of a lab/manufacturing environment.not sure. I've successfully installed both multimode and singlemode fiber. It sounds like whoever did that work didn't have a clue what they were doing and a refund or rework should be demanded. I'd even use the responses from this list as ammunition. Jonathan A+, MCSA, MCSE Thumb-typed from my HTC Droid Incredible (and yes, it really is) on the Verizon network.

It is possible to go from one type to the other, *if* you use something called a mode conditioning cable, but I don't recall if you can go back again, and mode conditioning cables aren't used in splices. -- 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

Re: Upgrading Windows in-place - your experiences?
Since it's ridiculously easy to stand up a server I see no reason to do an inplace upgrade ever[1].

I may rebuild them all with 2008 R2 which also solves the fact that right now they're 32bit, but what are peoples experiences of upgrading Windows in-place? As I said I've not had to do so for years now so I'm out of touch with how good/bad of an experience it is these days? The one potentially nice thing is that other than any third-party apps, the VM's are about as clean as you can get, no HP PSP or suchlike to have to deal with.

Re: Upgrading Windows in-place - your experiences?
I've always advised against in-place upgrades. I've done more than a few, and the only ones that went really well long term were the ones where I had built and maintained the original box myself, and then done the upgrade. A clean upgrade, when you can plan for it, it always better, IMO, unless there's some software running that you cannot install new to the new box. Having said that, 2008 to 2008 R2 is the easiest of the Windows upgrades (far better than Vista to Win7). * * *ASB* *http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker* *Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market… * 2011/10/4 Paul Hutchings paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk I haven't upgraded a Windows Server install for years now as typically with physical boxes the box gets replaced after a three year period so the OS is rebuilt/refreshed. Virtualisation has changed that somewhat as we now have VM's with a potentially infinite physical life, and as a result I have quite a few that are still running Windows 2003. I may rebuild them all with 2008 R2 which also solves the fact that right now they're 32bit, but what are peoples experiences of upgrading Windows in-place? As I said I've not had to do so for years now so I'm out of touch with how good/bad of an experience it is these days? The one potentially nice thing is that other than any third-party apps, the VM's are about as clean as you can get, no HP PSP or suchlike to have to deal with. I should add we're talking small role-specific VM's here, nothing crazy like Exchange.

Re: Upgrading Windows in-place - your experiences?
Even licensing may not be a major issue if you can migrate from the old to the new fast enough.

RE: Upgrading Windows in-place - your experiences?
As stated already my first choice is always to do a fresh install, but just as a note I have done a few in place upgrades with no problems. I had one Windows NT server that had an old accounting app on it that was still required. Installed before I got here, no installation disks and the company is out of business. I P2Vd that machine as a VMware VM, then did an in-place upgrade to Win 2003, then converted it to a Hyper-V VM and it is still running great. I also did a couple of in place upgrades of domain controllers when I had zero budget for new hardware, going from Win 2003 to Win 2008 32 bit and both in- place upgrades went smoothly. So while not my preferred choice, it can be done. Just make sure you have a backup of the machine before the upgrade just in case.

IIRC, an upgrade from NT4 was the only way you could get Windows 2000 servers to not run IIS by default.

Re: Upgrading Windows in-place - your experiences?
I have done a few P2V for machines that really could not be rebuilt did not like it either but last I heard they were still available to be run if needed. The hardware was just too old and too far out of date to keep the machines any other way. The original software developer quit the company that sold us the software and no one else knew how to fix the install issues. They always had to get on the phone unless the user was a DA and gave the machine and all users God status.

RE: Needing to encrypt a file
Thanks Ben, I have the basics on private/public key and generating your own key, but I think they are wanting it verified by a CA. I posted the requirements below to make it easier and eliminate the barrier (me) from the actual need.. We used to handle about 300 people worldwide utilizing PGP, missionaries mostly operating in Secure areas of the world and that was a royal pain.. Especially when someone didn't post their key to the centralized key ring, etcWhy cant this person get my email? Point finger here.. This just seemed to be a few steps higher up the PKI knowledge tree than I have experience with.. I just need to know which provider can do what is needed... I appreciate any insight into this, as most of the queries are pulling up ssl certs or verisign for pki infrastructure. I think I just need a smartcard with the software or utilize gnu with the cert they provide Any pointers - To start off line signature you have to click on the button Off line signature or Off line validation instead, thus downloading those new or updated data into a single file with name extension .txt (it has a text format) which you save on a directory of your choice or is automatically saved on the desktop. Please do not change the file name, the file content nor the file name extensions automatically assigned. b) Digitally sign the downloaded file with your smart card or security token, by means of the executable file, software tool or utility usually supplied by the same provider, which you have to install on your computer, in case you sign with a smart card, or which may be available on your security token. You start the execution of that software and digitally sign a file in many ways, for instance by choosing an option from the menu you can see after a right click on the file icon or file name. This signature is performed in asynchronous mode, which means: outside from our web application, with no deadline. This signature must be made by a person delegated from his/her company to register its Medical Devices and/or Medical Devices of other delegating companies, by means of our web application. For instance, if you have downloaded a file called DatiAltreAziende210420091820471411.txt after the digital signature its name should have become DatiAltreAziende210420091820471411.p7m or DatiAltreAziende210420091820471411.txt.p7m Besides .p7m another valid file name extension of the signed file could also be .p7s , which differs because in this case the file is not encrypted, while any other file extension of signed files, as for instance .pdf , can't never be signed or accepted by our web application. After this point of the signature process, do not change, by means of our web application, any data you have previously modified and downloaded in the above mentioned .txt file until the following c) step (upload) has been completed: otherwise that following step will not be successful until the previous step (download) has not been repeated before. For a Medical Device, or a System or assembled kit, the data subject to a single signature also include: - the names of the manufacturer, agent or other delegated subject - the EC certificates - the data of any other Medical Device required for its functioning (as registered in our data base) - the data of any other component of the System or assembled kit. c) Then, using again our web application, through its main menu Off line signature and its option: Upload signed files select and upload in our web application the file you have signed at the previous step. Click on the Browse button to perform the search of the directory which contains the signed file to be selected, then click on the Save button. Then in a short while a message will inform you about the final result of your off line signature, confirming if the signature operation has been successful. In case the mandatory first signature described above at point 1) has not been performed before, a warning message is shown. The same happens in case a manufacturer, agent or other delegated subject has been previously selected during the registration of the data of a Medical Device or System or assembled kit now subject to the signature, but the data of the same manufacturer, agent or other delegated subject has been only saved and not also signed after their registration. Off line signature is properly made only after the completion of this third step of its process: in case you sign a file on your computer but later you never upload the corresponding signed file into our web application, the data included in the signed file will not turn out signed. In case you have signed to validate Medical Devices data, you can check their status, which is shown in the corresponding row of any Medical Devices list using
