Hi Guys,

The boss just got back from a tradeshow.  One of the vendors was a company 
called Storagecraft.  Their software seems to offer an Acronis like 
functionality.

Does anyone have any experience with it?  Good or bad?

R: About network admin password

[HELP_PC]

That is the point.
The password should be in a sealed envelope. But unless I resign or GDF wants 
access, and I am the only person responsible for the network can I ask to be 
notified if the envelope Is unsealed?

Oggetto: Re: About network admin password

Under Italian law any company must record in sealed envelopes ALL passwords, be 
it users or administrators, without any regards whether they are internal or 
external.

This obligation is intended to document the entire company network, and allow 
GdF (the local IRS) to avoid answers that amount to denial of access like 
"sorry, cannot remember my password ...", and finally avoid the need of a 
complete seizure of company computers for the sake of fiscal investigation in 
lieu of access by properly instructed law enforcer to force access to the 
company network.

Should an external network admin release to the boss the password ?

 Should he get a warranty that no other access the network as admin if he 
didn't leave the job with the company ?

 The updates are also for Office 2010.  The title is wrong.

Re: About network admin password

[Jon Harris]

I would say it would depend.  Previous $dayjob$ each Admin (DA or local) had
their own password and only shared access to the Enterprise password that
was kept sealed and changed after each use.  Any DA could change any other
password and get access but doing so would leave an audit trail.  Current
$dayjob$ has things a lot different DA and Enterprise Admin passwords are
kept in a software repository kept on site with any admin being able to get
into the password safe but doing so will send out alerts to the Security
staff and IT administration staff.  If they see you just looking around you
get called in and questioned about your access.  If you go in get a specific
password and get out they don't question it nearly as much if you notify one
of the administrator's afterwards of the reason you went into the safe they
don't question it at all.

Re: Insert into beginning of CSV file

[Kurt Buff]

I'd not call that clunky. I'd call that just the right solution. Why?
Because it preserves the file that contains the header information
you'll likely need again, so you don't have to recreate it.

I suppose you could make a batch file out of the whole operation, as in:

echo "text of header file" > ReadyToFtp.csv
adfind [command] >> ReadyToFtp.csv

to make it a bit cleaner, but that's not a huge win, as you can do
roughly the same thing with the copy command you're doing.

RE: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[Crawford, Scott]

Let's hope he's not using a C64 or this thread's not gonna fit in RAM. I think 
we're fairly safe in assuming he isn't though since he said he has a "text 
file", which is pretty uncommon verbiage for a C64 since they would generally 
be called SEQ files. Plus, his text file is in mixed case, which can be quite a 
trick on C64.

Not perfect, but still enough to scratch the commodore itch.  Oh, Aztec 
Challenge, how you frustrated me.

  True, true.  For that matter, he never said he was using NT.  Maybe he's got 
a Commodore 64 and needs a solution that works there, and was just curious if 
there were any DOS people around incidentally.  ;-)

  Or maybe he meant DOS/360.

Re: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Anders Blomgren]

No, we just use the cli or the builtin web GUI, which isn't bad at all.
There ain't nothing you can do in the cli which isn't exposed in some form
in the GUI. A neat thing is port profiles which saves your techs from having
to assign vlan and voice vlan. Just define once and use on ports.

Our whole network is basically a bunch of EX-4200's in various stacks. Smb,
afp, nfs, iscsi, you name it. Except for voip. :) But the gui has settings
for voice vlan for a simple switchport and they come in all-POE versions as
well so I have a hard time seeing why they wouldn't work well for voip.
We're pleased with both the performance and features, which is at the higher
end of access switches. Think Cisco 3750 if it means anything to you. We
even do all our routing except for bgp peering in a pair of stacks using
vrrp.



I have no experience with EX2200, EX2500, EX3200 or EX3300. I do know that
some features that are included in the EX4200 are licensed separately for
the others. You'll have to ask your reseller for what those are.

Our needs are reasonably simple on a technical level (I think!).



What we are keen on, if possible, is to try and get a vendor with one OS
across their range.  Right now we have an eclectic mix of vendors kit and
frankly it's a nightmare.  Moving to a single vendor won't happen quickly
but it's what we're trying to aim for and it seems that if you take HP and
Cisco as two examples, you can buy two different models and you're not
necessarily running the same OS.



I suspect we'll get a vendor in who can offer a solution with what currently
looks like the phone platform we're going for - that's the other fun part,
finding a one stop shop so the phone vendor doesn't point fingers at the
switch vendor and vice versa.

  In a word: No.

  Inserting data into a file -- any kind of file -- always requires
rewriting the entire file from that point on.[1]  That's just how
computers work.[2]

  Programs which provide the illusion of insert are either (A1)
rewriting the entire file all the time anyway, or (A2) doing things
behind the scenes to make it look like an insert.

  An example of A1 would be almost all text editors: When you save,
the entire file is overwritten each time.

  A2 typically means the program does updates in random-access
fashion, and keeps some kind of index or reference list that provides
a perceived order.  Inserting new data would actually append to the
end of the file, and then the index is updated to say where the new
data should appear in the perceived order.  Most databases work this
way.

-- Ben

[1] Well, maybe there's a way to tell some OSes to reorganize things
at the block level, but it would only be useful for block-aligned
data, in which case you're already doing your own file housekeeping,
so you wouldn't need the syscall in the first place.

[2] The world's a big place.  It wouldn't surprise me to find out that
some obscure computers, or obscure filesystems, work differently.  But
as a general rule, this applies.

  Yah, we just bought a 50 kilobuck analyzer from Agilent a few months
ago.  It has a floppy drive.  It runs Win 2000 Pro.  I asked the sales
guy (before purchase) what their plan was to upgrade to a newer
Windows release.  After a few weeks, he got back to me and said
engineering has no formal plan to upgrade yet.

  We've got our share of CNC stuff like that, too.  The Mitsubishi

from stock.  IIRC, the Windows directory is "J:\WINNT".  O.o

Filea.txt has the line I need to add
file1.csv is the export (from ADFIND)
readytoftp.csv is the file that's ready to ship

This works fine but strikes me as overly clunky, is there a more elegant way to

We've brought up paired T3's between our 2 sites, and we have failover to other

DC out in the branch.  We want to do this for replication performance and to 
have a single site to present to Exchange 2010 for our DAG/mailbox servers.

In checking on TechNet it seems the process would be:


1. Move the remote DC into the main site in AD Sites and Services.

2. Assign the IP subnets from the branch site to the main site in Sites and

3. Delete the branch site object in Sites and Services.

Is it this simple?  Would the systems and PCs in the branch all need to be

afp, nfs, iscsi, you name it. Except for voip. :) But the gui has settings for 
voice vlan for a simple switchport and they come in all-POE versions as well so 
I have a hard time seeing why they wouldn't work well for voip. We're pleased 
with both the performance and features, which is at the higher end of access 
switches. Think Cisco 3750 if it means anything to you. We even do all our 
routing except for bgp peering in a pair of stacks using vrrp.

I have no experience with EX2200, EX2500, EX3200 or EX3300. I do know that some 
features that are included in the EX4200 are licensed separately for the 
others. You'll have to ask your reseller for what those are.

We use EX switches in a stacked configuration. Juniper calls it a Virtual

RE: About network admin password

[Orland, Kathleen]

For what I think I’m reading: 

 

Yes, the IT director or whoever you report to should have a list of all
passwords: Domain Admin, service accounts, local admin, etc. They should be
recorded and ideally kept in a safe. Failing that, the head of the
department should at least have a soft copy of the information. 

 

If you get hit by a bus, have a family emergency, get sick, etc. these
passwords and your documentation should be available. 

 

That being said, no one should access the network using the admin passwords,
etc. without your knowledge. Effective communication is the key here, when
it comes to something like this then having at the very least an email of
understanding would document it.

Should an external network admin release to the boss the password of the

Should he get a warranty that no other access the network as admin if he

It was actually two groups of duplicates. For some reason there were two

Re: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Anders Blomgren]

Please let me know what you think after a little hands on. I love working
with the Junos cli. Commits instead of direct edits, automated rollback if
you don't confirm commits and so on. And like any stacked product, you
manage it as one switch. 38 physical switches here but only 6 stacks to
manage.

I assume you're going to install 5.0 on your VCenter (it's fully backwards

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[Kurt Buff]

I had totally forgotten about find - it's normally a very lame
utility, and I don't like it, but that's a perfect use for this.

However, it's simpler to do this - don't need to use the type command.

c:\>find /c /v OK filename.txt

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[Kurt Buff]

The simplest way is to get the wc.exe utility from either
http://gnuwin32.sf.net or http://unxutils.sf.net.

Then do the following:

c:\>findstr /v OK filename.txt | wc -l

That will spit out the number of lines that don't contain OK.

Re: I: About network admin password

[Kurt Buff]

If I'm understanding your question correctly, then I'd say yes.

However, whether you're employed externally or internally shouldn't matter.

If you want a measure of security, give the admin password to the
manager inside a sealed envelope, and then if you have reason to
believe that the admin password has been used without notification or
sufficient reason, then you can ask to see the envelope to see if the
seal has been broken.

This gives assurance to the manager that if you're unavailable that
they can still get at the system, and gives you assurance that they
won't unnecessarily perform admin functions, or at least that if they
do that you can show that there's a reasonable chance that it wasn't
you that FUBARed something.

 The updates are also for Office 2010.  The title is wrong.

 (Or so the people on the patch-management mailing list say.)

Re: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Kurt Buff]

Yes, the permissions are actually part of the file's entry in the MFT
- each ACE contains the relevant GUIDs, but you don't normally see
those because most times you're using a tool (such as explorer.exe)
that resolves them against the domain and shows you the name.

Re: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Kurt Buff]

Nah. I plan to have the new machine already a part of the domain, and
just rename it after removing the old one from the domain. That way
all of the GPOs will already be applied, etc.

Re: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Kurt Buff]

I've known for a long time that the shares are kept in the registry,
but I've always done something a bit different.

 c:\>net share > shares.txt

I then edit that so that each line grants Everyone,Full - such as:

 net share disappear=j:\temp /grant:Everyone,FULL /unlimited

Can't remember why I do it that way, but I've done it for many years.

Duplicate SPN's

[Cameron]

Good morning all,

I'm trying to get an error sorted out and need confirmation from one of you
fine folks!

Win2k8r2
Error: The KDC encountered duplicate names while processing a Kerberos
authentication request. The duplicate name is
MSSQLSvc/server.domain.ca:1433(of type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPLE_NAME).
This may result in authentication
failures or downgrades to NTLM. In order to prevent this from occuring
remove the duplicate entries for MSSQLSvc/server.domain.ca:1433 in Active
Directory.

So with all the reading that I've been doing, I found the following.
- logged into the offending server
- ran the following command >setspn -X

the output shows two entries for MSSQLSvc
1. MSSQLSvc/server.domain.ca:1433
2. MSSQLSvc/server.domain.ca

This machine is running SQL 2008r2

I'm thinking the one I need to remove is #2, but would like a second
opinion!

As always, TIA!

Cameron

RE: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[N Parr]

We modernized that years ago, our CNC's all communicate over CAT5 with RS232 
adapters on each end to rocketport serial hubs. ;^)  Hopefully going to 
wireless RS232 soon so I can virtualize all the 13 year old hardware.

Here is a scarey thought for many of you:  There are full motion flight
simulators out there, training pilots, that are running on Gould computers
using tape, big cartridge drives, and yes, floppies.

Re: About network admin password

[Jonathan Link]

If I'm unterstanding you, a client of yours is asking for the admin password
for his system.  Yes.  If it is the sole administrator account, then yes, he
has a right to it.

Sounds like you might be disengaging from a messy client, though.  You
should generate a signed checklist and go through things with him, the last
one being changing the administrator password, (not necessarily giving it to
him).  If the password isn't changed, you have less of a defense of being
able to access that network.

Re: slightly OT : WINS question

[Christopher Bodnar]

A host will register a WINS record with the WINS server it's configured 
for. So if you don't configure a server with a WINS server, it' won't 
register. I would be careful with that. You specifically mentioned that 
this may be a NetBIOS app. If so there might be WINS entries for the 
application that are required. Check with the vendor first. If you have a 
test environment for this application, test there first before moving into 
production with a change.

Re: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Christopher Bodnar]

Sounds like a well thought out plan. Not sure if anyone brought this up, 
but you may want to start considering fail over clustering for the file 
server down the road. It will eventually remove the reliance on a real 
server name. then you can just swap servers in and out of the cluster, and 
its' totally invisible to the user.

YMMV

Subject:Possibly a brilliant mistake...



A scenario for y'all to consider...

I've got a file server (Win2003 R2) running as a VM. It's using the MS
iSCSI connector to connect with the 4 data partitions it's running.

My cunning plan to upgrade is to:


o- Bring up a Win2008 R2 VM
o- Configure all of the print queues on it to match the old server
o- Gin up a batch file that will recreate the shares on new machine to
match the shares on the old machine
o- Down the the original 2003 R2 server and delete the account from AD
o- Change the name of the new 2008 R2 server to match the old server
o- Connect the LUNs on the iSCSI devices to the new machine and give
them the same drive letters
o- Run the batch file on the new machine to create the shares
o- Go home and drink a few glasses of the nice wine I have stashed for
just such an occasion

I'm sure someone out there has done something like this and can tell
me if it's a viable upgrade method.

Anyone care to comment?

Kurt

I have a problem with step #4:

4. Type a new file name (a file extension is not necessary), and then save
the file to a floppy disk.

This was edited in Sept. 2011, maybe the could have change the floppy drive
to other storage.

I can't remember last time I used a floppy drive!

Should an external network admin release to the boss the password of the server

Should he get a warranty that no other access the network as admin if he didn't

This is a lot easier, in my opinion:

RE: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Kim Longenbaugh]

We typically use the method in the article you quoted, and it works well, even 
when going from W2K3 to W2K8.
Doing that instead of the batch scripting is the only thing I'd change in your 
plan.  I think you also plan to add the new server to the domain after removing 
the old one and making the name change, but you didn't mention that explicitly.

A scenario for y'all to consider...

I've got a file server (Win2003 R2) running as a VM. It's using the MS iSCSI 
connector to connect with the 4 data partitions it's running.

My cunning plan to upgrade is to:


o- Bring up a Win2008 R2 VM
o- Configure all of the print queues on it to match the old server
o- Gin up a batch file that will recreate the shares on new machine to match 
the shares on the old machine
o- Down the the original 2003 R2 server and delete the account from AD
o- Change the name of the new 2008 R2 server to match the old server
o- Connect the LUNs on the iSCSI devices to the new machine and give them the 
same drive letters
o- Run the batch file on the new machine to create the shares
o- Go home and drink a few glasses of the nice wine I have stashed for just 
such an occasion

I'm sure someone out there has done something like this and can tell me if it's 
a viable upgrade method.

Anyone care to comment?

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[KenM]

and pipe it to measure-object to get your line count


gc c:\test.txt | select-string -SimpleMatch -NotMatch -Pattern "OK" |
Measure-Object


or to just get line count

(gc c:\test.txt | select-string -SimpleMatch -NotMatch -Pattern "OK" |
Measure-Object).count

 In the Unix world, we have something called "useless use of cat".  I
guess in the NT world, we have "useless use of TYPE".  :-)

 FIND can accept a filename as an argument.  There's no need to
invoke TYPE and pipe the output.

   FIND /C "OK" textfile.txt

 If something can only read standard input, you're better off using
input redirection, e.g.:

   FIND /C "OK" < textfile.txt

Or, if you prefer your input file first on the command line:

   < textfile.txt FIND /V /C "OK"

 Invoking TYPE and piping means a buffer or temporary file is
allocated, the input file is spooled into that, and then the buffer is
fed into the next program.  In a small file it doesn't really matter,
but on a big file it's rather inefficient.  Giving a file argument, or
re-assigning standard input, means the file is just read.  :)

 In the Unix world, we have something called "useless use of cat".  I
guess in the NT world, we have "useless use of TYPE".  :-)

 FIND can accept a filename as an argument.  There's no need to
invoke TYPE and pipe the output.

   FIND /C "OK" textfile.txt

 If something can only read standard input, you're better off using
input redirection, e.g.:

   FIND /C "OK" < textfile.txt

Or, if you prefer your input file first on the command line:

   < textfile.txt FIND /V /C "OK"

 Invoking TYPE and piping means a buffer or temporary file is
allocated, the input file is spooled into that, and then the buffer is
fed into the next program.  In a small file it doesn't really matter,
but on a big file it's rather inefficient.  Giving a file argument, or

RE: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Paul Hutchings]

Thanks Anders, appreciate the info.  We've spoken to a reseller who is 
accredited with Juniper and the phone vendor we have in mind and we're going to 
go speak to them and try and get a little hands on.

Management capability is probably going to be the key to any decision.

Thanks again,

Our whole network is basically a bunch of EX-4200's in various stacks. Smb, 
afp, nfs, iscsi, you name it. Except for voip. :) But the gui has settings for 
voice vlan for a simple switchport and they come in all-POE versions as well so 
I have a hard time seeing why they wouldn't work well for voip. We're pleased 
with both the performance and features, which is at the higher end of access 
switches. Think Cisco 3750 if it means anything to you. We even do all our 
routing except for bgp peering in a pair of stacks using vrrp.

I have no experience with EX2200, EX2500, EX3200 or EX3300. I do know that some 
features that are included in the EX4200 are licensed separately for the 
others. You'll have to ask your reseller for what those are.

Thanks Anders.  I guess the basic question is whether it's any good?

Our needs are reasonably simple on a technical level (I think!).

What we are keen on, if possible, is to try and get a vendor with one OS across 
their range.  Right now we have an eclectic mix of vendors kit and frankly it's 
a nightmare.  Moving to a single vendor won't happen quickly but it's what 
we're trying to aim for and it seems that if you take HP and Cisco as two 
examples, you can buy two different models and you're not necessarily running 
the same OS.

I suspect we'll get a vendor in who can offer a solution with what currently 
looks like the phone platform we're going for - that's the other fun part, 
finding a one stop shop so the phone vendor doesn't point fingers at the switch 
vendor and vice versa.

We use EX switches in a stacked configuration. Juniper calls it a Virtual 
Chassis. Our VoIP network is totally separate as its a hosted solution and the 
vendor wouldn't commit to full responsibility if we put it on the
same switches. That said, what do you want to know?

We're looking at vendors for some core switch replacements which is also tied

be taking a look at, but I don't know enough about their switch range.

Before I stick a pin in the reseller list, if anyone has any direct experience 
I'd like to hear from you (on-list is preferred but off is fine if it's 
something you'd prefer not to be public).

  In the Unix world, we have something called "useless use of cat".  I
guess in the NT world, we have "useless use of TYPE".  :-)

  FIND can accept a filename as an argument.  There's no need to
invoke TYPE and pipe the output.

FIND /C "OK" textfile.txt

  If something can only read standard input, you're better off using
input redirection, e.g.:

FIND /C "OK" < textfile.txt

Or, if you prefer your input file first on the command line:

< textfile.txt FIND /V /C "OK"

  Invoking TYPE and piping means a buffer or temporary file is
allocated, the input file is spooled into that, and then the buffer is
fed into the next program.  In a small file it doesn't really matter,
but on a big file it's rather inefficient.  Giving a file argument, or
re-assigning standard input, means the file is just read.  :)

It's very likely that you do have piece-parts of Office 2007 installed. A 
common one is "Microsoft Office 2007 Web Components", which requires the Office 
2007 patching. Another is "Microsoft Office Live Meeting". Etc.

Greetings,

Woke up today to find that both systems at home have updates scheduled for 2007 
Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3.   However, I don't have that installed, 
I have Office 2010.

I've checked out KB articles 2526086 and 2591039 and didn't find any indication 
that it was suitable for Office 2010.

I've never seen this situation before, so I'm just curious if others noticed 
the same thing, if the two packages are so similar that the SPs cover both, or 
basically other opinions on the situation.

Thanks in advance,

Hehe. Maybe I should check things once in a while. Although when you just
cut and paste from batch files going back fifteen years or so, you get stuck
into doing things certain ways.

(Yes, the simple way does work)

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

Does it? For years I've worked on the premise that the /c switch displays
only the count of lines containing the string, and doesn't work
intelligently with /v. If it does work the other way, I've wasted years with
useless routines :-)

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[James Rankin]

There's probably a much easier and quicker way to do this which you'll find
when our friends in the US come online, but for now

*@echo off
setlocal

set count=
set total=
for /f %%a in ('type textfile.txt ^| find /c "OK"') do set count=%%a
for /f %%a in ('type textfile.txt ^| find /c /v "~"') do set total=%%a

set /a count=%total%-%count%

echo Number of lines in file not containing OK is %count%
echo.

set count=
set total=
endlocal
goto :eof
*
might do what you want a bit more elegantly if you bung this into a .cmd or
.bat file. You can prompt for the input of the text file or set it as a
parameter to be passed if you want to get more advanced.

(You can tell I am bored watching Postman Pat with the kids)

Cheers,



JR

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[Mark Thatcher]

Or just use:

type textfile.txt | find /c /v "OK"

which does give the correct count of lines without "OK"

Re: Show lines in a text file that DONT contain OK

[James Rankin]

DIdn't read your post properly

try

type textfile.txt | find /c /v "~"

(assuming ~ isn't used in any lines in the file)

and then subtract from that the number you got from my first command I sent.
Not elegant but should tell you what you want
