Network access to 2 seperate domains

2011-12-08 Thread Nigel Parker
Hi 
Ok we have a director from a parent company 
Lets  say they have a domain called companyx.local
We have our domain company.local

So totally separate local domains 

The director needs to access files and emails from both domains,
apparently his anti virus and updates come live from the internet

I wanted to setup web access to our exchange and a local account on our
fileserver and shortcut so when he clicks it will prompt for user name
and password to our servers
However I know he will enter his other user name and password?

Thoughts 
Also he want to access files from his network on ours and have exchange
with offline files to ours and his networks.

This is for 6 months only

RE: Network access to 2 seperate domains

2011-12-08 Thread Charlie Kaiser
Create him a domain account in your domain. Don't use a local account. The
domain account will provide Exch and file access. You can provide him the
technical solution. If he can't utilize the proper username and pw, he
shouldn't be a director. It's not rocket science and he probably has many
usernames and pws around the web.

If he's using Outlook 2010, he can access MAPI accounts from both Exch
servers.

This is a workable situation. I'd recommend experimenting with the setup
required on another machine before deploying the solution to him; there may
be some traps regarding DNS or server perms that will need to be resolved...

Hi 
Was hoping not to do this 
Also outlook will only accept 1 exchange server so i would have to create 
another profile for the user (he doesn't want the emails mixed up)

Suppose it would solve the authentication problem 
And I would have to use outlook web access but of course it wouldn't allow off

I made a recommendation to a client of mine - 50-something seats - to move from 
SBS 2K3 Premium to SBS 2011 with Premium Add-on. I even had CDW supply a quote 
so they could plan for it  next fiscal year (over $6K which is a significant 
chunk of their IT improvements budget). Yesterday they tell me here's the 
delivery e-mail from CDW Guess I get a big project sooner than I thought 
:).  Fortunately their current SBS server is a Hyper-V VM so I should be able 
to practice this upgrade in a lab.

Is the swing kit from sbsmigration.com worth it? Or rather, has anyone here 
used this product in their swing? I ask because my other client with SBS 2003 
will likely do the same upgrade next year, but they're small and simple enough 
(they have all of 5 e-mail DL's and three security groups) I might do them by 
hand.

  Just to add one more answer that doesn't really match your givens
and is of limited applicability:

  The recent E-series Dell Latitude laptops we've been getting have a
BIOS option to disable the wireless when the wired link is up.

Re: Be careful what I wish for

2011-12-08 Thread Steve Ens
I bought the kit.  I've done two migrations so far but am also comfortable with 
sbs. The Microsoft step by step guide is pretty good.  I think that if you have 
to migrate share point, then the sbsmigration kit is worth it. If they aren't 
using sharepoint, then I don't think it is worth the extra $. If the company is 
paying for it, then by all means buy it. Do it a few times in a lab and you'll 
be fine. You'll find the gotchas. Also use the sbs diva.com site, there is good 
info there too.

Re: HP Blade server and Win PE 2.0 environment - NIC driver trouble

2011-12-08 Thread Michael Leone
Still having trouble with this. The blade has 2 NIC ports, and we
disable one of them in the BIOS of the blade in question. The Win PE
2.0 environment still reports that there is no network card, tho.
Claims that the network card is not in a permissable state. It shows
no NIC card at all. I don't deal with the Win PE environment we have,
but my co-worker says that the drivers from HP for the NIC in the BL
460 G6 do not support booting into a Win PE environment, so he is
trying the generic drivers from Broadcom (the manufacturers of the
NIC).

My boss thinks that perhaps he might have to configure the Virtual
Connect interface (this is the blade administration interface) to play
with the settings for the virtual switch that the blade uses. I
confess that I am lost at this point (both with this suggestion about
re-configuring Virtual Connect, and where to go from here).

The end result we want to get to: convert a VM to a physical, but
without using the recommended method of using sysprep. This VM is one
of those mission-critical ones, but unfortunately my DBAs have not
been able to re-create a working version of it, so I *have* to use
this VM. And for licensing reasons, I have to move it to a physical
machine. But since it's so fragile, I can't take a chance on using
sysprep (if the transfer to physical doesn't work, I need turn the VM
back on and keep it in production, until I can get it to work. And I
can't take a chance that using sysprep won't screw something up.

Anybody? I'm almost at the point of taking a full backup using EMC
Networker, doing a BMR to the blade, and then doing a repair
installation to add the blade specific drivers, so it'll boot and
work. I am less than confident about that procedure, too ... I'd much
prefer to take an image of the VM using LANDesk, and using Win PE to
put it on the blade.

 Usign the cmdline to test connectivity always worked with all NICs enabled,
 only disabling the extra NICs let the image deployment stuff work.


 Hmm ... OK, I will see if he can disable one of the 2 NIC ports on the blade
 itself. Thanks

 having problems. Apparently, the NIC doesn't seem to support that. We can
 PXE boot properly; we can connect to the PE server. But we can't seem to
 find a driver that will load in the PE environment. We've tried the HP
 drivers and they don't seem to load.

 Anybody using an HP BL460 G6 with a PE 2.0 environment? And if so, what
 drivers did you use in the PE environment? The regular Windows drivers
 don't seem to work in the PE environment.

Re: Be careful what I wish for

I'm moving a client from sbs 2003 standard to sbs 2011 standard later

installed on a separate server. I was planning on just doing the MS

It was worth it for just one.  I rant into what I guess is a common error
and it was detailed in an appendix, IIRC.  This was 4 years ago migrating
SBS 2003 from physical to virtual environment.

Well worth the $200 for a one time deal, and for the other option, I think
it's worth it, too.

I keep an eye on the job listings on LinkedIn, and for my region it has very 
few compared to the likes of Dice, Monster, and CareerBuilder.

 I made a recommendation to a client of mine – 50-something seats – to move
 from SBS 2K3 Premium to SBS 2011 with Premium Add-on. I even had CDW supply
 a quote so they could plan for it  next fiscal year (over $6K which is a
 significant chunk of their IT improvements budget). Yesterday they tell me
 “here’s the delivery e-mail from CDW…”. Guess I get a big project sooner
 than I thought J.  Fortunately their current SBS server is a Hyper-V VM
 so I should be able to practice this upgrade in a lab.

 Is the swing kit from sbsmigration.com worth it? Or rather, has anyone
 here used this product in their swing? I ask because my other client with
 SBS 2003 will likely do the same upgrade next year, but they’re small and
 simple enough (they have all of 5 e-mail DL’s and three security groups) I
 might do them by hand.

RE: RAMDisk Prevalence?

2011-12-08 Thread Crawford, Scott
  I backup to a RAM disk.  It's much faster that way.

At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file and 
need to revert to the previous version rather quickly. Otherwise, as soon as 
that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade rather 
quickly. Some of the compressed-air-ram-freezing techniques may be useful here, 
but unless you're nearby soon, you're out of luck.

Backup Software Recommendation

2011-12-08 Thread Burian, Matthew J. (mjb)
I have a very small business customer (~4 users) who purchased a NAS
device for backups of their Windows 7 machines.  I typically use the
Windows 7 backup utility for situations like this, however the
customer purchased computers before I began working with them that are
running Windows 7 Home Premium, and thus cannot use the Win 7 backup
tool since it won't allow network locations.  They don't want to spend
the money on the Win 7 Pro upgrade.  I have used Acronis in the past,
however I haven't used the latest release and it looks to be getting
mixed reviews.  Any suggestions on an affordable piece of software
that would work in this situation?  It would be ideal if it offered
options for file copy backup and a system image.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Qnap - Connecting to 2nd ethernet port

2011-12-08 Thread Bob Hartung
We've got a Qnap TS-659 Pro II at a remote facility. It's setup as a NAS with 
AD integration and it's working fine.

One thing we use it for is for Disk-to-Disk-Tape backups as well as PC image 
storage. This normally happens after hours so the high network utilization 
isn't an issue but if we need to do these things during regular hours, it is.

Is it possible to connect directly from a 2nd ethernet port on a server to the 
2nd ethernet port on the TS-659 to isolate the LAN from some of the 
backup/image traffic?

I know I could setup an iSCSI connection but then what's stored there is only 
accessible through the iSCSI connected server/pc. Other systems could only 
access the data through the server as a share.

Subject: Be careful what I wish for

I made a recommendation to a client of mine - 50-something seats - to move from 
SBS 2K3 Premium to SBS 2011 with Premium Add-on. I even had CDW supply a quote 
so they could plan for it  next fiscal year (over $6K which is a significant 
chunk of their IT improvements budget). Yesterday they tell me here's the 
delivery e-mail from CDW Guess I get a big project sooner than I thought 
:).  Fortunately their current SBS server is a Hyper-V VM so I should be able 
to practice this upgrade in a lab.

Is the swing kit from sbsmigration.com worth it? Or rather, has anyone here 
used this product in their swing? I ask because my other client with SBS 2003 
will likely do the same upgrade next year, but they're small and simple enough 
(they have all of 5 e-mail DL's and three security groups) I might do them by 
hand.

Subject: Qnap - Connecting to 2nd ethernet port

We've got a Qnap TS-659 Pro II at a remote facility. It's setup as a NAS with 
AD integration and it's working fine.

One thing we use it for is for Disk-to-Disk-Tape backups as well as PC image 
storage. This normally happens after hours so the high network utilization 
isn't an issue but if we need to do these things during regular hours, it is.

Is it possible to connect directly from a 2nd ethernet port on a server to the 
2nd ethernet port on the TS-659 to isolate the LAN from some of the 
backup/image traffic?

I know I could setup an iSCSI connection but then what's stored there is only 
accessible through the iSCSI connected server/pc. Other systems could only 
access the data through the server as a share.

Re: HP Blade server and Win PE 2.0 environment - NIC driver trouble - SOLVED

2011-12-08 Thread Michael Leone
Got it. We downloaded the HP Smatr Start Scripting Kit, and it
included drivers for this blade. My co-worker reports that he was able
to get the Win PE environment to work on the blade using the drivers
from this kit.

On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 9:53 AM, Michael Leone oozerd...@gmail.com wrote:
 Still having trouble with this. The blade has 2 NIC ports, and we
 disable one of them in the BIOS of the blade in question. The Win PE
 2.0 environment still reports that there is no network card, tho.
 Claims that the network card is not in a permissable state. It shows
 no NIC card at all. I don't deal with the Win PE environment we have,
 but my co-worker says that the drivers from HP for the NIC in the BL
 460 G6 do not support booting into a Win PE environment, so he is
 trying the generic drivers from Broadcom (the manufacturers of the
 NIC).

 My boss thinks that perhaps he might have to configure the Virtual
 Connect interface (this is the blade administration interface) to play
 with the settings for the virtual switch that the blade uses. I
 confess that I am lost at this point (both with this suggestion about
 re-configuring Virtual Connect, and where to go from here).

 The end result we want to get to: convert a VM to a physical, but
 without using the recommended method of using sysprep. This VM is one
 of those mission-critical ones, but unfortunately my DBAs have not
 been able to re-create a working version of it, so I *have* to use
 this VM. And for licensing reasons, I have to move it to a physical
 machine. But since it's so fragile, I can't take a chance on using
 sysprep (if the transfer to physical doesn't work, I need turn the VM
 back on and keep it in production, until I can get it to work. And I
 can't take a chance that using sysprep won't screw something up.

 Anybody? I'm almost at the point of taking a full backup using EMC
 Networker, doing a BMR to the blade, and then doing a repair
 installation to add the blade specific drivers, so it'll boot and
 work. I am less than confident about that procedure, too ... I'd much
 prefer to take an image of the VM using LANDesk, and using Win PE to
 put it on the blade.

 Usign the cmdline to test connectivity always worked with all NICs enabled,

 Anybody using an HP BL460 G6 with a PE 2.0 environment? And if so, what

 don't seem to work in the PE environment.

RE: Backup Software Recommendation

2011-12-08 Thread Sam Cayze
Check out Acronis.

Subject: Backup Software Recommendation

I have a very small business customer (~4 users) who purchased a NAS device
for backups of their Windows 7 machines.  I typically use the Windows 7
backup utility for situations like this, however the customer purchased
computers before I began working with them that are running Windows 7 Home
Premium, and thus cannot use the Win 7 backup tool since it won't allow
network locations.  They don't want to spend the money on the Win 7 Pro
upgrade.  I have used Acronis in the past, however I haven't used the latest
release and it looks to be getting mixed reviews.  Any suggestions on an
affordable piece of software that would work in this situation?  It would be
ideal if it offered options for file copy backup and a system image.

Thanks for the suggestions.

You sir, are correct. As our Service Desk guys are in BIOS during system
setup already, this can be another checkbox for them. We will be discussing
this possibility today. I tested it on one system and it works as advertised

  Just to add one more answer that doesn't really match your givens and is
of limited applicability:

  The recent E-series Dell Latitude laptops we've been getting have a BIOS
option to disable the wireless when the wired link is up.

 At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file
 and need to revert to the previous version rather quickly. Otherwise, as
 soon as that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade

Create him a domain account in your domain. Don't use a local account.
The domain account will provide Exch and file access. You can provide him the 
technical solution. If he can't utilize the proper username and pw, he 
shouldn't be a director. It's not rocket science and he probably has many 
usernames and pws around the web.

If he's using Outlook 2010, he can access MAPI accounts from both Exch servers.

This is a workable situation. I'd recommend experimenting with the setup 
required on another machine before deploying the solution to him; there may be 
some traps regarding DNS or server perms that will need to be resolved...

 So totally separate local domains
 
 The director needs to access files and emails from both domains, 
 apparently his anti virus and updates come live from the internet
 
 I wanted to setup web access to our exchange and a local account on 
 our fileserver and shortcut so when he clicks it will prompt for user 
 name and password to our servers However I know he will enter his 
 other user name and password?
 
 Thoughts
 Also he want to access files from his network on ours and have 
 exchange with offline files to ours and his networks.

Perhaps it's all the bad press I have heard about Comodo, but I have a hard 
time trusting them. Many of their products are free or dirt cheap, and have 
some amazing features... so I don't want to have a negative bias... 

Has anybody had good luck with Comodo products? Please help me confirm or

RE: ?? on jobsites

2011-12-08 Thread John Hornbuckle
So how does that work from the hiring side? You see someone with a profile that 
looks interesting, and make a pitch to them?

One thing I've noticed is that 99% of the people on LinkedIn have career 
opportunities listed as something to contact them for-including people who I 
know are very happy with their jobs and aren't really looking elsewhere. I 
suspect that a lot of people who have that aren't, in fact, looking for new 
career opportunities. Although I'm sure that if the offer were good enough, 
they might be persuaded. :)

  I backup to a RAM disk.  It's much faster that way.

At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file and 
need to revert to the previous version rather quickly. Otherwise, as soon as 
that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade rather 
quickly. Some of the compressed-air-ram-freezing techniques may be useful here, 
but unless you're nearby soon, you're out of luck.

Initial problem with Issuing CA solved, but other questions arise

2011-12-08 Thread Kurt Buff
All,

After staring at the configs in
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/10/13/designing-and-implementing-a-pki-part-ii.aspx
for days, and doing lots of reading and searching, I found the
problem.

Simple, really, but sometimes the purloined letter will ruin your day.

In the example CAPolicy.inf file for the issuing CA, the following
line was the problem:

 LoadDefaultTemplates=0

It didn't strike me for the longest time, but there you go. Removed
that line, and it started issuing certs - I see that all of my DCs and
the issuing CA itself have gotten certs, and so have about 18 people,
out of 250+ staff.

So, it's functioning now, and I have a good deal more reading to do to
figure out which templates I want to create, etc.

The more interesting things to understand are:


1) Why am I seeing the following warnings in the event logs, even
though the cert is being issued:

 Log Name:  Application
 Source:Microsoft-Windows-CertificationAuthority
 Date:  2011-12-07 22:13:16
 Event ID:  80
 Task Category: None
 Level: Warning
 Keywords:  Classic
 User:  SYSTEM
 Computer:  cert.example.com
 Description:
 Active Directory Certificate Services could not publish a
Certificate for request 19 to the following location on server
usdc4.example.com: CN=John
Doe,OU=Development,OU=Engineering,OU=Users,OU=ExampleUS,DC=example,DC=com.
 Insufficient access rights to perform the operation. 0x80072098
(WIN32: 8344).
 ldap: 0x32: 2098: SecErr: DSID-03150BB9, problem 4003
(INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

At least, it looks to me as if the certs are being issued, because
certs with user names matching the request numbers are appearing in
the 'Issued Certificates' folder in the management console - they are
of the type 'Basic EFS (EFS)'.


2) What process is invoking these certs? I have no idea how (just a
few) users from such disparate departments and types of machines
(desktops and laptops) are getting the certs, especially since I
haven't announced anything, and don't have anything in place that
requires their use yet.

WMI filter help

have been googling and am so far not able to find anything dumbed down enough 
for me to copy/paste modify and get to work.  There is one existing WMI filter 
here that applies a range of subnets.  I have tried modifying that existing 
filter to point only to the server I am trying to apply the GPO to, it looks 
like this:

Select * FROM Win32_IP4RouteTable
WHERE ((Mask='255.255.255.255' AND NextHop='127.0.0.1' OR NextHop='0.0.0.0')
AND (Destination Like '10.3..61.1' ) )

Anyone care to offer suggestions or resources?  W2k8 R2 server environment.  I 
simply need to create a WMI filter for a GPO that applies to the server at 
internal address: 10.3.61.1.  may need to add others later, but for now the one 
will do.  Thank for any help.

RE: RAMDisk Prevalence? (OT)

2011-12-08 Thread Greg Olson
This whole conversation reminds me of a backup issue I had with Filemaker 
server software (I think it was ver 3 when it first came out). The software had 
a feature we're it didn't flush out changes that it kept in ram, until the 
ram cache filled. So even though it was backed up nightly, it never flushed out 
the changes to disk so it was never really backed up. Move ahead two months and 
a drive failed, so I though Oh will just restore last nights backup. Yea, 
funny it has none of the changes for the last two months. Call Filemaker, ah, 
yea you have to run a cmd to flush the memory out to disk. WTF!%!.. yea that 
was an interesting conversation with my CEO and there support on the phone. It 
was also the end of Filemaker at that job

  I backup to a RAM disk.  It's much faster that way.

At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file and 
need to revert to the previous version rather quickly. Otherwise, as soon as 
that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade rather 
quickly. Some of the compressed-air-ram-freezing techniques may be useful here, 
but unless you're nearby soon, you're out of luck.

RE: WMI filter help

2011-12-08 Thread Kennedy, Jim
I am not going to be able to help you skin it the way you want via IP. But 
maybe some alternatives that come to mind may get you where you are going.

Use security filtering on the GPO and only give that specific machine rights to 
that GPO. So on the scope tab of GPM modify the Security filtering area to only 
include that machine.

Or maybe Item level targeting will help you, although I have never used that.

Both are discussed here:

 Probably others too.

 Yah, I know I've seen several FOSS captive portals.  Off the top of
my head, NoCat was one of the originals.  Still seems to be around.

  I'm sure one could find any number of companies willing to take lots
of money for a solution, too.  Quite possibly using the free tools,
even.

2011-12-08 Thread Joseph L. Casale
You're asking two different things?

A client for an iPad exists as a paid app.

An appliance for your home can mean many things? What do you currently have for 
your gateway?

FWIW, I have OpenWRT with a openvpn server running at several locations 
reliably, some of which are used continuously through the day and night and 
never hiccup. I also have several pfSense appliances and a few RHEL servers 
running a server as well. Openvpn runs on just about anything...

If you need root file access, just set up an SSH server at home.

OT - Looking for new job guidance

2011-12-08 Thread Jacob Kisner
I am using my personal email, not my other one on the list.  Do not
want the big boss man to find out...

I am currently an IT manager for a company with 120 employees with a
team of 15 IT professionals (internet/ecommerce company). I have been
looking at IT manager positions for other companies, but it always
comes down to one drawback... they want someone from a larger
environment/company. What are some ways I can present myself to say I
can do the job?
One company said that they have 10 remote locations to support. I have
supported five remote locations and said that 10 would not be an
issue. I even had companies say no even if the team I would be
managing consists of 5 or 6 people.

All say that as an individual contributor, I would fit in perfect. But
not for a management position for a large company. As much as I
probably would not mind, it would be a step back in career progression
and pay.  But it is something am thinking about.
Just looking for a little guidance...

Thanks

things to include in a vm server template?

2011-12-08 Thread Jonathan
Hi everyone!

It has been a whileI've been quite busy and haven't had much time to do
anything here other than occasionally lurk

I'm in the midst of building some Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 templates
for my new vSphere 5 environment. I'm close to being done, but am thinking
about tools i should include over and above the stock OS install. I'm
interested to hear what you guys install when you build servers...

For instance, perhaps things like:

primopdf
msinfo
a telnet client, such as putty
adobe reader (I'm torn on this one because of how many security concerns
there are with Adobe Reader, historically, but it sure would be handy to be
able to view a PDF on the fly)
Portscanner, such as SuperScan or AngryIP

I'm curious to hear about your add-ons and tweaks. I've already got the
builds pretty well tweaked for performance, but if you have any specific
tweaks that have been helpful, I'd love to hear those too. I used this as a
sort of base guide:

http://www.jasonsamuel.com/2010/05/07/how-to-build-a-vmware-vsphere-vm-template-for-windows-server-2008-r2/

I made a few of my own modifications, but didn't stray too far from this
one. A lot of the tweaks and settings already in this made sense to me.

Thanks,

A DR Tools Folder.  (Random tools I have found myself using when doing test
DR Restores.  Great if you restored but are stuck in safe mode or something)

 All,

 After staring at the configs in

 http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/10/13/designing-and-implementing-a-pki-part-ii.aspx
 for days, and doing lots of reading and searching, I found the
 problem.

 Simple, really, but sometimes the purloined letter will ruin your day.

 In the example CAPolicy.inf file for the issuing CA, the following
 line was the problem:

 LoadDefaultTemplates=0

 It didn't strike me for the longest time, but there you go. Removed
 that line, and it started issuing certs - I see that all of my DCs and
 the issuing CA itself have gotten certs, and so have about 18 people,
 out of 250+ staff.

 So, it's functioning now, and I have a good deal more reading to do to
 figure out which templates I want to create, etc.

 The more interesting things to understand are:


 1) Why am I seeing the following warnings in the event logs, even
 though the cert is being issued:

 Log Name:  Application
 Source:Microsoft-Windows-CertificationAuthority
 Date:  2011-12-07 22:13:16
 Event ID:  80
 Task Category: None
 Level: Warning
 Keywords:  Classic
 User:  SYSTEM
 Computer:  cert.example.com
 Description:
 Active Directory Certificate Services could not publish a
 Certificate for request 19 to the following location on server
 usdc4.example.com: CN=John
 Doe,OU=Development,OU=Engineering,OU=Users,OU=ExampleUS,DC=example,DC=com.
  Insufficient access rights to perform the operation. 0x80072098
 (WIN32: 8344).
 ldap: 0x32: 2098: SecErr: DSID-03150BB9, problem 4003
 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

 At least, it looks to me as if the certs are being issued, because
 certs with user names matching the request numbers are appearing in
 the 'Issued Certificates' folder in the management console - they are
 of the type 'Basic EFS (EFS)'.


 2) What process is invoking these certs? I have no idea how (just a
 few) users from such disparate departments and types of machines
 (desktops and laptops) are getting the certs, especially since I
 haven't announced anything, and don't have anything in place that
 requires their use yet.

 looking at IT manager positions for other companies, but it always
 comes down to one drawback... they want someone from a larger
 environment/company. What are some ways I can present myself to say I
 can do the job?
 One company said that they have 10 remote locations to support. I have
 supported five remote locations and said that 10 would not be an
 issue. I even had companies say no even if the team I would be
 managing consists of 5 or 6 people.

 All say that as an individual contributor, I would fit in perfect. But
 not for a management position for a large company. As much as I
 probably would not mind, it would be a step back in career progression
 and pay.  But it is something am thinking about.
 Just looking for a little guidance...

Re: Initial problem with Issuing CA solved, but other questions arise

I have been playing with PKI off and on for about 2 months and thought it
was a keeper as well.  I am looking at PKI for Direct Access usage.
A requirement for Direct Access is a Cert and the ability to control the
Cert for both users and machines.  Microsoft recommends a local Cert server
and against the use of commercial Certs for control purposes.

DA/UAG is probably the first project out of the gate for me, after I

BTW - the lastest post on that blog is Windows PowerShell script for
Setting up a CA on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 -

Now that looks pretty dang cool.

Re: things to include in a vm server template?

2011-12-08 Thread Kurt Buff
portscanner == nmap, but do you really need that on all of your
machines? Probably more useful would be wireshark.

Instead, I'd include a utils/tools directory, with the psexec stuff,
and probably the gnuwin32 and/or unxutils and/or cygwin stuff
installed in it, and perhaps a few miscellaneous tools like
windirstat.

 Hi everyone!

 It has been a whileI've been quite busy and haven't had much time to do
 anything here other than occasionally lurk

 I'm in the midst of building some Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 templates for
 my new vSphere 5 environment. I'm close to being done, but am thinking about
 tools i should include over and above the stock OS install. I'm interested
 to hear what you guys install when you build servers...

 For instance, perhaps things like:

 primopdf
 msinfo
 a telnet client, such as putty
 adobe reader (I'm torn on this one because of how many security concerns
 there are with Adobe Reader, historically, but it sure would be handy to be
 able to view a PDF on the fly)
 Portscanner, such as SuperScan or AngryIP

 I'm curious to hear about your add-ons and tweaks. I've already got the
 builds pretty well tweaked for performance, but if you have any specific
 tweaks that have been helpful, I'd love to hear those too. I used this as a
 sort of base guide:

 http://www.jasonsamuel.com/2010/05/07/how-to-build-a-vmware-vsphere-vm-template-for-windows-server-2008-r2/

 I made a few of my own modifications, but didn't stray too far from this
 one. A lot of the tweaks and settings already in this made sense to me.

 Thanks,

RE: RAMDisk Prevalence?

Hmm - but seriously, if you were doing Disk-Disk-Tape, why not look at 
Disk-Ram-Disk/Tape

If the service is down whilst you make the backup, then backing up to a RAM 
disk would be faster than any alternative (provided the source can provide the 
data fast enough). Then move the backup to another disk or tape

At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file and

that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade rather
