I found this on the blog from Coretrace, and they said: This week, McAfee, one of the two dominant forces in reactive, blacklist-based endpoint security, actively and unequivocally endorsed Application Whitelisting. Ironically, in hard coverage of Symantec's recent problems with pcAnywhere, the industry is actively recommending application whitelisting too. Here is the link: http://www.coretraceblogs.com/2012-01/security-earthquake-that-nobody- felt-mcafee-endorses-application-whitelisting/ So, what is the big news? It turns security on its head. Instead of keeping bad code out, with application whitelisting (also known as Application Control) you only allow known-good code to run. That's really a 180, and very, very interesting from a system admin perspective. I have done some research in this area and have written a whitepaper about whitelisting, and why as a system admin you should look into this for the near future.

RE: Patch management software...
I'm not running any SBS servers here and wasn't really concerned about patching servers anyway. Most of my clients are so small that they have only one or two servers and patching is done manually. I was reading the product's support forum last night and the techs seem to be very knowledgeable and responsive to user requests and feature requests. I feel like I've struck gold finding this... Thanks again to the person that posted about Desktop Central. From: James Hill [mailto:falc...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 12:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Patch management software... I doesn't list SBS as a supported OS though, which is a concern. From: ntsysadmin [mailto:ntsysad...@rccs.org] Sent: Wednesday, 1 February 2012 4:35 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Patch management software... Thanks for all of the replies. I'm looking over the recommended apps and installing the demos. So far ManageEngine (http://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/) looks like the winner. The functionality is awesome, web-based UI is beautiful and easy to read/navigate, feature-set - looks like it does so much I will have to read the docs to discover all the features. It does look like it's still free for 25 or fewer PCs, which is just amazing. This will work for most of my clients, I will get quotes for the larger ones. If you're not familiar with this product, I would highly recommend installing the free demo and trying it out. I am VERY impressed.

Dennis From: ntsysadmin [mailto:ntsysad...@rccs.org] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 3:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Patch management software... I'm looking for affordable patch management software for several of my small business clients. Workstation numbers range from 4-80 PCs running XP, Vista, Windows7 and a few Macs. It's okay if I can't find anything to work with the Macs. I like the Secunia product but I didn't see an offering for users with very small number of workstations. What are people using? Are there any free options out there that are worthwhile?

Microsoft VM - 5 ways of backing up?
After reading numerous articles, it seems to me that there may be 5 ways of backing up a Microsoft VM: 1. Doing an on-line backup using a VSS-aware software like Microsoft's SCVMM or Altaro, etc. 2. Doing an on-line backup from the host machine, of all VMs, of all critical disks, using built-in WBadmin. (Many conditions must be met for this to work, but they are doable in most cases.) 3. Saving the VM (not quite stopping it, but neither is VM on-line; perhaps we can think that VM is in sleep mode.) 4. Exporting a VM after stopping it. 5. Copying VHD file (along with XML BIN files?) after stopping it. Where am I wrong here? May be some of these methods should not be characterized as backups. Of the valid methods, which is most reliable and which is most easy to accomplish? Thanks. Jay Kulsh So.

More to the point, pings to multiple addresses on the same remote subnet are treated the same, and when he's doing the unsuccessful pings, there's nothing in tcpdump - just nothing. AFAICT, it's simply not reaching the office's firewall at all. Also, no other machine is having this difficulty - if they can ping one address on the remote subnet, they can ping all. I even went so far as to have him specify the TTL in the pings at 254, with a timeout of 300ms (usual response time is ~200m, and I didn't want to wait the full 1000ms). As further background, the network firewalls I have are Sidewinders (now known as McAfee Enterprise Secure firewalls, since the acquisition) and are a hardened version of FreeBSD. I can ssh into the box, run tcpdump just like any other *nix and see what's coming across the wire.

Re: OT - ugh!
I do not agree with the mentality, but I have heard the argument: If they were any good, they would be changing jobs every 2-5 years to expand their skills. Depending on the environment, most companies change (refresh technology) every 2-5 years so that would force some expansion of skills. Another scenario is that you started in one role and changed your role, probably more than once in that 15 years. Sorry for the bad news, hopefully you will find something.

RE: Microsoft VM - 5 ways of backing up?
If you have moved to 2008 R2 the backup is pretty great. We have some scheduled straight out of the GUI Interface, and Many scheduled with command line and task scheduler. The Command line is more flexible and you can setup up multiple instances, where the GUI is limited to only one job. We backup most of our VM's to onsite and offsite storage weekly. Once you set them up just check in once in a while and make sure that are no errors like space issues you are good. There are also many software vendors that have a solution, but I have not tried them yet. ~ 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

I've NEVER ever heard of a company offering a job and then withdrawing the offer, period, much less before total background check. I believe that I can fully understand the idea of wanting IT staff that has a varied background which would include more than one job over a decade. I think you are fortunate that you didn't take the job because it sounds to me that the organization isn't of the highest quality, if you catch my drift.

Re: The Security Earthquake That Nobody Felt
We had ePO - it was one of the driving reasons for us to abandon it. The other reason was the unreasonable amount of resources the client sucked out of the workstations. Yet another reason was the price - we got VIPRE Enterprise for the renewal price of McAfee, and the renewal price on VIPRE was hard to beat. Hard to say which reason topped the others - kind of a 3-way tie... Kurt On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 10:56, Mathew Shember mathew.shem...@synopsys.com wrote: I guess the snark wasn't obvious.

RE: Cron for Windows 2008
Not quite that simple, as wget is a very capable utility with lots of options. That being said, System.Net.WebClient has most of the capabilities that are exposed by wget.

Re: OT - ugh!
I been in four positions with the company.. web development, sys admin, it manager and just recently director (which really is the same at the IT manger, just a restructuring of positions). I actually started when the web just started. And, yes, as we grow and refreshed out technology, obviously I have to keep abreast of newer technologies and plan/implement them. The only issue I had was.. do not call me saying you are going to offer me the position and then back out because of how long I stayed at my current company. You figure that the high school grad getting paid $9 an hour to forward/reject resumes would have known this.. or the recruiter of the company that did the phone screen... or the HR person in the 1st interview and the CTO in the second interview would have seen this on my resume/application. Four people did not realize I worked at the same company for 15 years until they thought about offering me the position.. little unprofessional if you ask me. But hey.. probably not a place I want to work at anyways now that I think about it...

Another scenario is that you started in one role and changed your role, probably more than once in that 15 years. Sorry for the bad news, hopefully you will find something.

Sounds like an older version as I remember the push problem. I think we solved it with multiple pushes or was it hand installs? Most of the machines were local. We didn't see the update problems.. It did get better. I wouldn't recommend mcafee more for the AV being at best middle of the pack... -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 8:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: The Security Earthquake That Nobody Felt We found that it didn't actually push the clients out as we wanted - it was quite erratic, and would fail more often than we could tolerate - and was *very* slow to update client definitions. The interface was not intuitive, either. It's been about 3 years since I worked with it, so it might have gotten better, but I still won't recommend it.

The other reason was the unreasonable amount of resources the client sucked out of the workstations. Yet another reason was the price - we got VIPRE Enterprise for the renewal price of McAfee, and the renewal price on VIPRE was hard to beat. Hard to say which reason topped the others - kind of a 3-way tie... Kurt On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 10:56, Mathew Shember mathew.shem...@synopsys.com wrote: I guess the snark wasn't obvious. The AV is tolerable as long as you have ePO going. However, my enlightenment happened when there was a fast moving version of sdbot which snuck by and I had to user higher tiered support. They identified it with Kaspersky. We were going to use ironmail (another company) but decided against it after hearing the announcement. -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 4:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: The Security Earthquake That Nobody Felt Well, yes, actually, and they are part of Intel, and have been acquiring companies for themselves - for instance, Secure Computing a few years ago, for their Sidewinder firewalls (which are now McAfee Secure Enterprise Firewalls), among others. I still don't like their AV product, but they haven't yet ruined the firewall...

I found this on the blog from Coretrace, and they said: This week, McAfee, one of the two dominant forces in reactive, blacklist-based endpoint security, actively and unequivocally endorsed Application Whitelisting. Ironically, in hard coverage of Symantec's recent problems with pcAnywhere, the industry is actively recommending application whitelisting too. Here is the link: http://www.coretraceblogs.com/2012-01/security-earthquake-that-nobod y - felt-mcafee-endorses-application-whitelisting/ So, what is the big news? It turns security on its head. Instead of keeping bad code out, with application whitelisting (also known as Application Control) you only allow known-good code to run. That's really a 180, and very, very interesting from a system admin perspective. I have done some research in this area and have written a whitepaper about whitelisting, and why as a system admin you should look into this for the near future. This is a new security layer for your 'defense-in-depth'. You will hear more from me about whitelisting this year: http://www.knowbe4.com/resources/the-endpoint-security-advantages-of - w hitelisting-a-whitepaper-for-system-administrators/ Warm regards, Stu ~ 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
RE: Microsoft VM - 5 ways of backing up?
Terry, I think you are backing up your VMs from the host machine which is Windows 2008 R2. Right? Even with command-line of OBadmin, it is my understanding that you need to backup all VMs and entire partions where their files are. Is there option to backup individual VMs with command line of OBAdmin in R2? (I am using 2008 host without R2.) Thanks.
