RE: Who in your org creates server shares?

RE: Who in your org creates server shares?
In our agency it would depend on where the share will reside. We have a central office and we have offices. The local offices have their own non-domain admin IT people that can create shares on their servers as necessary. The domain admin team handles the big central office shares. In theory, a department manager puts in a request for a new share, and who needs access to it. A group is created and members added. Additional membership requests must be approved by the dept manager that made the original request. This all sounds reasonable until we realized that nobody wrote down who requested what when. I started at least putting comments on the shares and groups to help keep track of this. We stopped allowing individuals to have access. Sounds like you're doing what I had started to do. We were also a Novell shop, so some of this was leftovers. I am no longer on that domain admin team, having moved to one of the offices. My predecessor was completely clueless about shares, permissions, etc. and I'm still bumping in some odd workarounds.

This was one _HUGE_ plus of the existing ACL's being wiped out - we previously had hundreds (yes, multiple hundreds, lol) of this user is on this folders ACL list because the SD guys were never told that if a folder needed a specific ACL they needed to create a group and assign the group to the new folder's ACL. I ran an ACL report on our primary file share a couple years ago and almost needed a Depends because of what I found After last week's ACL wipeout debacle I had a quick 30 minute meeting with them explaining: 1. If a folder needs a different permission set than the one above it, create a group, assign that group to the folder and turn off inheritance if necessary (yes, even if it's just one user). 2. Groups for this should be Domain Local and no other kind 3.

Re: OT x2 - Your opinion a recommendation, please
As for your camera questions:
I recommend Axis and Toshiba.
Axis is the premium brand, and they will have exactly the camera you need. You
won't find anybody recommending not to pick Axis.
Toshiba is much more cost effective. We have been choosing the Toshiba models
over the Axis, based primarily on price. The cameras have been working well for
us.
What software are you using to record? Make sure whatever software you choose
(or have chosen) supports your camera choice.

A good practice to get into is the creation of technical requirement matrices and business requirement matrices. It helps you put on paper what capabilities you need in a solution and gives the vendor a uniform method of informing you of the strengths and weaknesses of their platform. We typically tier our requirements into 3 categories that allows us to weigh the importance of features. For example, a tier 1 requirement might be that the solution support fiber channel or iscsi where a tier 2 or 3 requirement might be support for sub-lun tiering or a 64bit OS to leverage larger cache. This is EMC for crying out loud - arguably the leader in the field, and it's a software issue. We're not talking about going with lesser hardware, which can steeply influence the costs. As well, I was given to understand that this is a relatively new line for them. They have the software in hand, and my 4 year old Lefthands don't have this limitation. I do place this 99% on them (split in some fashion between EMC and the reseller). I'll hand the 1% to my manager, who had used them before, doesn't like the Lefthands, and trusted the reseller rep he's worked with at his prior company. I was given no say in the matter - I suggested another LH unit. It may be too little too late but I'd be happy to share the template we used for our last storage purchase.

Re: Printer/Copier/MFP Contract Renewal
I have to second Ben's opinion on the copiers. We currently have two different vendors and one is far and away better than the other. Both brand copiers have their issues but I would want to go with the better vendor for the support. FYI, in my situation the better vendor supports the Toshiba copiers and the other vendor support Konica-Minolta.

RE: Printer/Copier/MFP Contract Renewal
A very fair point, but there has to be some through the door criteria to start with as you just can't talk to every single vendor.

RE: Who in your org creates server shares?
I'd say whoever has the best understanding of how workflows should best be taking place in the environment. I've seen too many users ask for something, but a much better system could be applied that will save them more time and keep things more organized, secure, etc. Hence the importance of having the IT dept. closely aware of how the company runs, and how their technology needs to be properly aligned to keep things flowing correctly. I'd be weary of having a Help Desk Techs grant share requests whenever they see a request.

Re: OT - ugh!
Just as a follow-up to this I have to say thanks to everyone for giving me the guts to ask a client to wait if they want me to do a job for them. Just managed to negotiate with someone to hold off for a few weeks till I become available, so now I have four very interesting projects on the go at once. Before I went through this thread I'd probably have been afraid to ask them to wait in case they just went and found someone else, I guess if they think they've got someone lined up with the required expertise they will be willing to hold off a bit. Now just gotta make sure I don't disappoint them. :-) But I really appreciate all the advice on this thread (and others), they've really helped me out bettering myself quite a bit over the last year and a half.

RE: Reinstallation of Windows 7
This article states you CAN upgrade/repair from the DVD. It lists the steps. Looks hopeful. http://www.pcworld.com/article/243190-2/how_to_repair_a_corrupt_windows_7_in stallation.html (See page 2) To begin the repair installation process, insert the installation media and run Setup (if it doesn't launch automatically). In the Setup window, click the Install Now button, and you'll have the choice of continuing the installation with downloadable updates or without them. If your Internet connection is working, you should probably choose to download the updates, but you can choose whichever option suits your fancy. Next you must accept the terms of the license and then choose whether to perform an Upgrade installation or a Custom installation. You're repairing a corrupt install, so choose Upgrade (the Custom option won't save your personal files or settings). -Original Message- From: HELP_PC [mailto:g...@enter.it] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 12:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: R: Reinstallation of Windows 7 Upgrade option requires you start from within Windows Guido Elia HELPPC - HELPPC SERVICE -Messaggio originale- Da: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Inviato: giovedì 9 febbraio 2012 18.39 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: Re: Reinstallation of Windows 7 On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 12:13 PM, HELP_PC g...@enter.it wrote: Is there a way to install over Windows 7 starting from the DVD (In case of troubles of booting) http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=reinstallation+of+Windows+7 -- Ben ~ 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 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 listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

Our parent agency uses Toshiba's, which seem to be fine until of course they aren't. We seemed to have a couple that were chronically broken, and the vendor should've just replaced them.

RE: SMS chasing clients
Yes, it's SMS because when I tried to upgrade to SCCM in the test environment it gave some error about Setup failed to install SMS provider: And there's some setspn command I tried that didn't work, and then I got called off that project so we could blow up Exchange via outsourcing it and from there other projects have taken over...

Survey says Heartbeat (3 days), Network (every 2 hours...and I see valid IP ranges), AD system (our two domains listed) every hour AD security group (every day). AD System group (every day) Brian...I was wrong, there's only two, but often at least one of them is wrong, usually the one on LAN (vs. WLAN) since their LAN IP changes if the go to a different floor and plug in CAT5.

Re: Printer/Copier/MFP Contract Renewal
If possible stay away from Konica-Minota they have a fair product when it works but you have to know what questions to ask and read the fine print you will find on the back of the page that says this page is blank. (It will look blank but if you use a microscope you will find the small print.) Last job purchased 2 of the same model at the same time. This was at the time that Vista was released. Printer/copier/scanner in one building was down more than up. Postscript was a $2k additional purchase and since we had two of the same model we had to purchase for both ($4k addition). (This was NOT reveled to us until we asked about it a month post purchase.) The building with the machine down most of the time was the one that needed the capacity the printer was rated for but only for 2 months out of the year otherwise it was used at maybe 1% of capacity. The other building used the printer at maybe 20% capacity and it basically stayed up unless someone got a wild hair and put in paper made from recycled paper, then it would go down within 3 reams of paper. It would also go down if we pushed to or over the capacity due to the other printer being down. Scanning was to either an SMB share or internal FTP server. I could never get the internal FTP server to delete anything unless I went to the machine and did it from the control panel. The SMB share had to be full and no security! Since the stuff being copied and scanned was covered under NDA's that was not going to happen and the internal FTP would not take/use any security either. The software they offered up to deal with the scanning issue required full admin access to the disk and to run. I dumped it without even trying to deal with that. The drivers were for Windows 2000. It took maybe 6 months post purchase before they finally released the XP drivers but they really seemed to me to be beta with the first time they offered them up when you attempted to load them plainly saying they were Windows 2000 drivers. About the time Windows 7 was released they finally had drivers for Vista that did not crash the system. Their sales people may forget to mention that the machine is EOL and if you don't ask they don't tell. We got bit by that one. Turned out the machines had been sitting in a warehouse for months. Up side was these were both color machines and did a great job of printing or copying in color. The shading was not adjustable within the printer (well maybe if we had gotten the Postscript addition it might have been) but we had other ways to adjust the shading to do what was needed. BTW the Postscript piece was a physical add on to the machine and once attached needed a service call to detach and would not migrate to another machine unless the service tech reset something inside the device.

RE: Printer/Copier/MFP Contract Renewal
You raise a good point. Driver reliability and availability can be crucial. Particularly as any contract entered into now would be current when an organisation might be deploying Windows 8. Admittedly as far as I know this won't be as big a change as XP -Vista in regards to printer drives but it is important. I was pleased with Ricoh MFP's in my last %dayjob%. I was also impressed by Xerox Phaser's (3428 and 3435) for A4 printing. So much so that they reminded me of the good old HP Laserjet 4000/4050. James.

Re: Printer/Copier/MFP Contract Renewal
My point on the driver was XP was on its way out and the company did not have readily available drivers for it but did for the LAST OS before that. I spent over a year waiting and b1tching about the lack of current OS drivers. I made sure that the staff that had made the decision on purchase (I was not among them) were the ones answering the questions on why it would not print Postscript and why their machines kept crashing when they printed anything more than simple documents. Hey, I am not perfect but I also will not take the blame or deal with the political heat for others mistakes. A couple of the PhD's asked why I was not on the search committee to the Executive Director. I never heard what he said but the technical person on the committee lost a lot of support. I personally think it was because I questioned purchase of a MacBook that cost more than the last server purchased. It was for the ED and Applehead.

The building with the machine down most of the time was the one that needed the capacity the printer was rated for but only for 2 months out of the year otherwise it was used at maybe 1% of capacity. The other building used the printer at maybe 20% capacity and it basically stayed up unless someone got a wild hair and put in paper made from recycled paper, then it would go down within 3 reams of paper. It would also go down if we pushed to or over the capacity due to the other printer being down. Scanning was to either an SMB share or internal FTP server.

Their sales people may forget to mention that the machine is EOL and if you don't ask they don't tell. We got bit by that one. Turned out the machines had been sitting in a warehouse for months.

The shading was not adjustable within the printer (well maybe if we had gotten the Postscript addition it might have been) but we had other ways to adjust the shading to do what was needed.

We’re interested in what I expect are the usual things, click count costs, service levels, is colour usage tiered on coverage or flat fee per page etc. Given the side of the pond I’m on I’d like to stick to the technology and the manufacturers rather than resellers, but of course if anyone from the UK is lurking I’d be interested to know your experiences on the service side when something’s broken.
