Re: Deploying Vipre 5 by gpo

[Mike Sullivan]

I deploy via GPO and then update the client via the management console. I
have no issues at all.

RE: Deploying Flash 11 msi by GPO

[Joseph L. Casale]

FFS, bad path in gpo to fleserver, wasn't immediately obvious as it is a valid 
path, just not the right one for the context of the installer.

Sorry guys:(

I that case you either need to remove the registry entries or you can run the 
Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup utility.  Unfortunately, that is not 
offered by MS anymore but you can still find it out there for download.

There is a problem with some of the version 10 msi files leaving entries in the 
registry during the uninstall.  If you get the error "InstallAX.exe is not 
marked for installation" or the plugin version that is what your problem is. 
You can delete these entries in HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products.  Once 
those are removed you should not have any issues.

  I saw noise in the tech news that some suppliers might be having
issues due to the natural disasters over there.  And some suppliers
prolly will.  But other suppliers also exist.  These kind of things
are hard to predict.

  But it's also Dell's end-of-quarter right now.  Like most companies
that gauge quarterly sales, Dell will flat out lie to make a sell at
EoQ.  So you can't trust them on this.

  On the third hand, Dell is very big on just-in-time supply chain and
manufacturing, so minor fluctuations in their supply chain can have a
big impact.

I just got this from my Dell Rep. Makes me wonder sometimes if they just
want me to hurry up and order things i have coming up or if this is a real
concern for future orders.


We have an urgent matter and want to ensure I’ve sent this message to all my
clients and addressed the current situation to plan accordingly for your
projects. If you have any orders that need to be deployed within the next
month. Please get those orders in ASAP to ensure we can try to meet the
deadline for deployment. There’s currently an issue with our suppliers due
to the floods in Thailand on HD’s ETC. This is vendor agnostic across the
globe and only have a limited supply of Drives, before we start seeing very
long lead times on builds and equipment shipping, Suppliers are also stating
their will be an increase in price due to supply constraints, below is a
link about the supplier issues currently taking place at this time.

If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know.

RE: Favorite DB hard drive config?

[Brian Desmond]

You should ask the vendor what sort of database performance requirements they 
have so you have a starting point.

Oh right.  Needs to be free.  With purchase.

This is for a new medical records system at will probably be accessed by 800+ 
staff at any given time.  System is client server, so middle-tier app servers 
do the communication with the database, but this will be heavily used.  System 
is fairly complex and we expect constant use from our clinical staff.  While 
it's not SAS, it's big for us.

Hi Folks,

I've been watching the various recent threads about RAID and disk 
configurations.  I've been burned several times on RAID 1 and RAID 5 configs.  
A drive fails, and so doe the entire array.  So much for RAID.

That said, I'm soon to build a new database server (SQL, Windows 2008).   There 
will be a number of large databases on the system (maybe 1T to start).  What 
are your suggestions?  I recall someone mentioned an IBM server that had some 
sort of "grid" disk redundancy and that sounded cool.

Just looking for your thoughts on this.  I usually by Dell but any vendor is 
fine.

Tom

RE: Favorite DB hard drive config?

[Jacob]

Well.. my setup.  SQL 2008 (not R2), 102 GB of data, with about 1200
transactions/sec. (90% read only). All hard drive SAS 15.K. I do have TWO
SQLs if this configuration in active/passive using EMC autostart.

C: RAID1 - o/s and program files (2 x 146 GB)

D: RAID5 - SQL data files (4 x 300 GB)  with 1 300GB spare

E: RAID1 - SQL log files (2 x 300 GB)

F: Simple volume - storage of daily backups (which are moved to a central
storage server every night).

No issues with performance, but ymmv.

What happened with the failed RAIDs? I have lost hard drives before and
never lost a drive. With Adaptec controllers, it is pretty much swap the
hard drive and repair. Repair does degrade performance, but I just failed
over to the second SQL server while the repair was in process.

Look at www.sql-server-performance.com for tons of information in regards to
SQL setups and performance. Also, you may want to look at SSD drives if you
have the money.

Uh, if you have had that kind of failure, then something is really
wrong - and I'd start by looking at the controller, then your power
conditioning.

If "any vendor is fine", then you're not doing your due diligence. I
can't tell you how to run such a large SQL installation, but I do know
that it will require a lot more work than polling this list.

Personally, I'd get vendor reps from Dell, HP and IBM, and perhaps
from Silicon Mechanics or another independent vendor, give them your
requirements and ask for demos of systems that will handle your load.
Make them work for you.

RE: Favorite DB hard drive config?

This isn't about favorites, it's about workload requirements, business

Hi Folks,

I've been watching the various recent threads about RAID and disk 
configurations.  I've been burned several times on RAID 1 and RAID 5 configs.  
A drive fails, and so doe the entire array.  So much for RAID.

That said, I'm soon to build a new database server (SQL, Windows 2008).   There 
will be a number of large databases on the system (maybe 1T to start).  What 
are your suggestions?  I recall someone mentioned an IBM server that had some 
sort of "grid" disk redundancy and that sounded cool.

Just looking for your thoughts on this.  I usually by Dell but any vendor is 
fine.

RE: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Tom Miller]

I have an Extreme Network switch.  I use it at one of my WAN offices. 
It was a real pain to get going compared to my old 3COM switches.  I had
to call support a few times since things I thought should be working by
default I had to enable.  But, once I got it working, no problems at
all.

I love JUNOS. just learned it about a year ago with the SRX Firewalls
and the EX 4200 switches (i have 4 SRX and 12 EX4200). it is a joy to
use after using Cisco IOS for sooo many years. The web GUI is slow, but
the CLI is super fun to use. There isn't a huge difference either
between FW and SW like there is with Cisco IOS for ASA and SW.

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.

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.

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

it on the

RE: Deploying AIM via GPO?

[Sam Cayze]

Not sure if this works on the latest versions.

http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=561

 

Or deploy a general IM app that also supports AIM.  Like 

http://www.pidgin.im/

http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#UnattendedInstallations

 

Or http://www.trillian.im/ or http://www.digsby.com/

 

Probably safer with less garbage than the AOL IM Application.

I that case you either need to remove the registry entries or you can run

There is a problem with some of the version 10 msi files leaving entries

RE: Deploying Flash 11 msi by GPO

I've seen it fail still in that scenario.

If you install it from the web site it will work.  If you try a manual
install from the AIP that it will fail.

There is a problem with some of the version 10 msi files leaving entries in
the registry during the uninstall.  If you get the error "InstallAX.exe is
not marked for installation" or the plugin version that is what your problem
is. You can delete these entries in HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products.
Once those are removed you should not have any issues.

Cisco IOS for sooo many years. The web GUI is slow, but the CLI is super fun to 
use. There isn't a huge difference either between FW and SW like there is with 
Cisco IOS for ASA and SW.

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.

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

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.

What Junos version are you running? Earlier versions had a slower GUI with
auto commit which is a pain on larger stacks. Recent ones have commit in the
GUI as well.

  Track every log on, and immediately log the details to a system they
don't have access to.  (If you only log locally, they can modify the
log records.)

  Possibly less intensive is to not simply give them the password.
Instead, give them a record of the password under opaque seal.
Periodically audit the seal to make sure it hasn't been broken.

  If they need some access normally: Create a separate account, with
separate credentials.  Grant that account the least privilege they
need to do their job.

There is a problem with some of the version 10 msi files leaving entries in
the registry during the uninstall.  If you get the error "InstallAX.exe is
not marked for installation" or the plugin version that is what your problem
is. You can delete these entries in HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products.
Once those are removed you should not have any issues.

You can, but you do not have the right to unless you are the person indicated 
officially as the custodian and keeper of records concerning passwords (in the 
"documento programmatico sulla sicurezza"), the company does not have an 
obligation towards any user/administrator to this respect.

Basically, the system was not designed with "function" and "business 
continuity" in mind.
You can try to tweak the system by obtaining that the company voluntarily 
complies to your request, which puts you more or less in a safe harbour.

May I note that this thread is very local to Italy, others in the list do not 
even get the point of your request.
There are not enough Italians in this list to help you out.
I think you should address Italian resources to understand what you can do or 
not.

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

Re: Deploying Flash 11 msi by GPO

[Eric Wittersheim]

There is a problem with some of the version 10 msi files leaving entries in
the registry during the uninstall.  If you get the error "InstallAX.exe is
not marked for installation" or the plugin version that is what your problem
is. You can delete these entries in HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products.
Once those are removed you should not have any issues.

RE: Storagecraft

[Benjamin Zachary]

We use these BDR units and they use Storagecraft in the units and do hourly
vss snapshots. The interface is a little kludgy but easy enough to navigate.
We haven't had to do any full metal restore but have done exchange items and
files without issue everytime.

Hi Guys,

The boss just got back from a tradeshow.  One of the vendors was a company

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

You can, but you do not have the right to unless you are the person
indicated officially as the custodian and keeper of records concerning
passwords (in the "documento programmatico sulla sicurezza"), the company
does not have an obligation towards any user/administrator to this respect.

Basically, the system was not designed with "function" and "business
continuity" in mind.
You can try to tweak the system by obtaining that the company voluntarily
complies to your request, which puts you more or less in a safe harbour.

>From that point onwards I would definitely accept the suggestions that have

May I note that this thread is very local to Italy, others in the list do
not even get the point of your request.
There are not enough Italians in this list to help you out.
I think you should address Italian resources to understand what you can do
or not.

Start googling from here:

Re: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Ben N]

I love JUNOS. just learned it about a year ago with the SRX Firewalls and
the EX 4200 switches (i have 4 SRX and 12 EX4200). it is a joy to use after
using Cisco IOS for sooo many years. The web GUI is slow, but the CLI is
super fun to use. There isn't a huge difference either between FW and SW
like there is with Cisco IOS for ASA and SW.
