Re: OT - converting a VMware VM back to a physical box - the plan so far
So here's what I've come up with. I don't know why this didn't click with me before, but we use a PXE server (and LANDesk) to push out workstations images via a network boot. I don't really have anything to do with that side of our ops, so I guess that's why it slipped my mind. Anyway, I will start testing this: Add necessary drivers to the PXE server (for VMware and the target HP server) Make a test VM (same settings - VMware disk adapter, etc) as my production VM Pre-install the HP RAID and NIC drivers to the VM Network boot it into my PXE server Make an image of it (we have scripts to do that for our various workstation models, so one of my guys will just adapt one) Network boot the blade it will end up on (HP BL460 G6) Push the image down onto the blade Power up the blade, and let it reboot as many times as it wants, since it should find all the HP drivers it wants, already installed into Windows, for all the new hardware it will see Cross fingers and hope the application itself works properly. Tweak steps as needed When I see that the new physical box works, I will repeat it with the production VM (after snapshotting it. Maybe also keeping a powered off copy, as well). The new box will have the same SID, so no worries there. No application changes (the big concern), so no worries there. The properly running powered-off VM available as fallback, if and/or when. Thoughts? Flaws? Concerns not covered? ~ 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: QNAP suggestion?
I've had a TS-859U-RP+ for a little over two months and it has been great. I only use it as an iSCSI target, however, so I can't say anything about it as a NAS / file server, and I haven't used the AD integration feature. I do believe that AD integration is built into the firmware for all their current devices, and it is certainly there for the TS-1279U-RP. (See the datasheet at http://www.qnap.com/image/product/pdf/TS-x79_series_datasheet_EN.pdf) By the way, Newegg has the TS-879U-RP-US for $3k, and Provantage is even a little less.

Re: QNAP suggestion?
+100 Caveat - the particulars of the problem I outline below are from my experience of a few years back, and may have changed. The memory of the pain is still vivid, however. Why in particular do I feel so strongly about this? Because NAS units normally run SAMBA. In my experience, SAMBA does *not* deal well with very long file/directory paths - that is, paths something over 253 characters (it's a bit ambiguous as to the exact length, but I try to educate my users that anything over 250 characters will cause problems.[1]) If SAMBA has overcome these limitations, I'd be very happy, but I haven't done the research to find out. See these links: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320081 and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#maxpath It's hard enough dealing with this problem under Windows (though it can be dealt with), but it's horrendous on a NAS. I had to wipe and restore a couple of Dell NAS units some years ago when the file system got fubar'ed because of this issue. Kurt [1] Side note: I don't know if it's Win7 or Office 2010 that does this, but a user reported to me a popup that she received saying that the file/directory specification she was trying to write out to the network would be too long, and to please stop doing that. This made me very happy. On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 12:56, Jonathan Link jonathan.l...@gmail.com wrote: Let your file server be a file server, and serve a lun from the QNAP to it via iSCSI.

MG MG Ideally, I would like the following features: MG MG 1) Text one number that forwards to a group MG 2) A user check-in/out system of cell numbers as staffing may be MG different from week to week MG MG I don't have any requirements as to an online service or local equipment. I MG know there are several novel SMS implementations out there for marketing MG events, voting, etc. So even if there is one that can do what I want, but is MG designed for something else I would interested in knowing about it.

RE: Whitelisting Pros Cons?
Thoughts on AV, white listing, and endpoint security futures... and yes in my classic terrible grammar, stream of conscious, style of writing... sorry NTSYSADMIN'ers! :) Anti-virus does an amazing job for what it was originally created for: The prevention of known bad files. The problem is that most malware these days is highly dynamic and as such we are increasingly living in a world of unknown malware and AV was not made to prevent unknown malware. Anti-virus vendors are trying to Band-Aid their signature problem by having new systems that hopefully generate signatures faster. This is all the stuff the AV companies advertise around their cloud information sharing systems etc... AV still requires some level of companies to be compromised to know there is a new piece of malware that needs a signature. The cloud stuff (I forget everyone's marketing terms) helps to make it so that AV can create a signature but hopefully with less companies compromised and in a shorter amount of time. White listing can help prevent unknown malware because it can prevent unknown executable code from executing. This is of course not without time to manage, configure, and make sure all your legitimate apps at first deployment, and over the course of time, are properly white listed. But we will skip the management aspect for now and focus on what works prevention wise and what the limitations are. Stepping back from a solution perspective let's look at the problem: Systems being compromised and infected with malware. The majority of malware infections happen from one of two ways: 1. User exploitation - User simply runs a piece of malicious code (web/usb/email/etc) and no exploit is involved, only trickery. 2. Vulnerability exploitation - User is either targeted or through normal web browsing, and is infected with malware via an exploit leveraging an unknown or unpatched software vulnerability. User Exploitation - This is a very common reason that malware ends up on systems. Think of all of the times you have had to clean up systems with fake anti-virus type of software etc... This is an area where anti-virus is simply failing because when the malware is delivered to one of your users it is being handed off by a server that is doing automated morphing of the executable in a way as to evade anti-virus signatures. I.E. The malicious executable has the exact same behavior on every system but the signature of that executable is different for every system it is delivered to. White listing is very helpful in preventing this type of malware because essentially it is a user running an unknown program and by virtue of white listing your blocking all unknown programs. This is why you will hear people talk about having installed these solutions and their level of malware has simply gone down. Vulnerability Exploitation - The other way systems are compromised is not by users just clicking on things but by attackers actively leveraging unknown or unpatched software vulnerabilities. In this case what ends up happening is a user will receive something like a PDF document via email or will be served malicious javascript/html/etc via a website and in either case there will be an exploit that leverages a vulnerability within some software you have installed on the system. When the exploit takes place it will start to leverage a software vulnerability typically to run malicious code within the memory space of the vulnerable software. I.E. A user is browsing a website, embedded javascript spawns a window with an Adobe PDF files, the PDF file automatically loads, exploit code leverages a vulnerability within the PDF, exploit code starts running malicious shellcode within that Adobe program, that exploit shellcode then delivers its payload. The payload is typically the exploit downloading a malicious executable from another website and then running that malicious executable which then Trojans a system etc... The problem is that the exploit code does not have to download another executable and rather it could keep performing malicious operations within the vulnerable application (Adobe) and since no new executable code is created, the whitelisting security software does not come into play. The point being that white listing is helpful against a lot of today's vulnerability exploitation because the payload delivered by most vulnerability exploits is to download an unknown executable and run it, which white listing will obviously stop. In the end if white listing replaced anti-virus then attackers would simply raise the bar and make sure that their vulnerability exploits did not simply download and directly execute executable code. They would do behaviors in memory to simply defeat and bypass white listing technology. Vulnerability/exploit prevention is critical and is always missed in discussions because everyone gets caught up in chasing the symptom (malware) and not the

Does anyone in this group have any experience with a product called Untangle? Untangel.com One of my staff came across this product and it almost sound too good to be true It appears to be a firewall product but since that is not my area I am not totally sure if this is any good or not Thanks for any advice about this.

Software Firewalls WAS: software
If it sounds too good to be true...Untangle is a Linux based firewall distribution. There are many of them out there. I have only tried it out as a trial, but I found it limited in its features when compared to other free Linux based firewalls, such as ClearOS, Endian, pfSence (BSD based, not Linux... for the nitpicky), or Zentyal.My opinion is that you should try it and see if you like it. Be aware of the alternatives as well:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_router_or_firewall_distributionsNow if your going for the paid features, I cannot compare. I do not know how well it works compared to other paid software firewalls.--Matt Ross-- Sent from my HP TouchPadOn Nov 16, 2011 9:13 PM, Jack jsmre...@new.rr.com wrote: Does anyone in this group have any experience with a product called Untangle?
