Re: Sophisticated Phising attempt?
we have went trhough this process with 2 of our customers and I tell you it was a painful process. SME tend to use largely OEM, but one client had MS Subscrptions for Office mixed iwth OEM windows, Oem SERVERS, and other licensing for MS products, and it took 10 resubmits of the forms and many calls to get MS to accept that the license list was valid. with every response from them, very very stern about unlicensed software and and immediate requirement to be come licensed. Even to the point of sending through order forms for 25 copies of Office enterprise when the client only had 17 users, and were full y licensed through the rental scheme direct with MS for Office Pro. Its was a very frustrating process. Graeme On 29 March 2012 00:02, Jonathan Link jonathan.l...@gmail.com wrote: Following this up, I did eventually get a followup email and this is legitimate.

One document, our apparent licensing report appears entirely legitimate. I have had a weak password on the eopen site for a while, just hadn't bothered changing it. Second PDF (USA FAQ 2012[2]) is not viewable on my iPhone, it just displays whitespace, as does the excel file. I'm going to take them to a sandboxed computer to view them later. They also want information returned by April 16th. My other concern is some limited googling has suggested that this might be legitimate, that Microsoft has engaged in third parties to do this, and that there are variations of this process, but those could be cleverly built forums with shills indicating the process is legit, so I turn to this list for advice. In the body of the email there aren't any instructions on where to send the information. If the sender can only send email, having another address to receive this information seems to be necessary. [1] The voicemail was extremely static laden and had several gaps in it. [2] That's a poorly named FAQ and about the only poorly phrased or worded item in the email. ~ 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 -- Good news everyone, you have just received an e-mail from me! ~ 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
OT: NetFlix app on Samsung devices
Anyone out there having a problem with their NetFlix app on a Samsung TV or Blu-Ray player this week? Seems very coincidental that it started right after the European DST date of 3/25/2012. First noticed it on 3/26/2012 with my UN46C6400. Everything works great up until the loading screen. Status bar never moves, and then about 30 seconds later you get a message “We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title. Internet connection is fine and other apps work (VuDu, Amazon ). Tested NetFlix on my Sony Blu-Ray player and no issues. Did all the typical troubleshooting steps, reset TV, de-activated the device and re-activated. No luck. Then I went and tried my BD-D6500. Now on this device, nothing seems to happen on the status bar page for about 90 seconds then it starts to load and everything is fine. Never used to be like that, usually started loading immediately. I’m thinking this might be a timeout issue, that the TV has a much lower timeout than the blu-ray player, but no way to prove that. So far support from NetFlix and Samsung haven’t been any help.

We have a library of substances on a server (really old - Dell PE-2650). It has an Adaptec card and a Dell StoreVault(?) LTO2 drive. For years it has been backing the library pre-dawn, M-F using NTBackup as a Scheduled Task. [Windows 2003 SP2] This broke last week. The Events log showed that the system was unable to find the script associated with the job... OK, I go and create the script again (in NTBackup, but finishing with scheduling it to run weekly, each M-F). I right click it and select Run now. NTBackup starts to open, then it vanishes. I check EventLogs, and I see no errors. I repeat the steps above running NTBackup manually, The backup process runs with no issues. Googling, I learned of Scheduled Tasks logs. This is not useful: AnToxSubstances.job (ntbackup.exe) Started 3/28/2012 1:45:01 AM AnToxSubstances.job (ntbackup.exe) Finished 3/28/2012 1:45:17 AM Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0). Other scheduled tasks appear to be running successfully. So, why is it when I create a job in NTBackup, it runs if I click Run now; but if I save it as a scheduled task (and then try to run it from the list of tasks), it fails immediately? Again, this had been running with no such issues for several years (up until last week). Thanks! -- Richard D. McClary Jr Infrastructure Architect, Information Technology Group ASPCA(r) 1717 S.

Re: Sophisticated Phising attempt?
That's not feasible (3rd party to manage MS licensing) for our org. We're ~45 users. I know it is my odd licensing pruchase[1] that triggered this. I just now have to get all of my ducks into a tight row. They are pretty tight, but I need to cross T's and dot my I's. The timing of this is about the worst it could be as I'm ramping up into a busy time for me, while my organization as a whole will be gearing down. [1] I have, from a predecessor, SBS Cals without a server followed by my own purchases of some versions of office 2007, but not at a level consistent with the # of SBS Cals, and the recent purchase of Exchange Server 2010 CALs, but without the purchase of Exchange Server 2010, as I have a Retail license of Exchange Server 2010 available via our Action Pack subscription. All these things together, from a stricly volume licensing perspective looks odd, and I don't blame Microsoft for having a desire[2] to investigate. [2]I just blame them for investigating. I thought this was what BSA was for, to be honest. *shrug* I'll deal, and we'll be fine. I'll just make sure I put sufficient effort into the process upfront so as to minimize questions from them later.

Hyjack - Linux in the Enterprise/Schools (was RE: Sophisticated Phising attempt?)

Centralized management improvements: My boss wants everything to be point-and-click, so no CLI options would work here. If it can't be done in a GUI, she won't go for it... because what if I leave and nobody else knows how to fix things? And how do you deploy a printer to a lab? What about updating Firefox in an entire school? Thus far, Webmin might be the best current solution to this problem, but I can't webmin 20 computers at the same time as far as I know. 2. Network home folders: Everybody loves that their documents are automatically saved to the server... and we like not having to backup 1000+ desktops. Getting this to work in Linux is no cakewalk. Just getting Linux to login using a network LDAP server is difficult (Redhat's 'authconfig' utility is an exception, but still no network home folders).

RE: Hyjack - Linux in the Enterprise/Schools (was RE: Sophisticated Phising attempt?)
If you really think that, then perhaps it's time for me to go back and take another look at Kerio and other products. When I last ran the hosting portion of an ISP (toward the end of 2007), we had 3 different email offerings. A free one, based on one of the free email servers, which had low feature content (free to purchasers of other services of course). One that was $1 / month per mailbox that was based on Icewarp's Merak which had a number of additional features. And finally one based on Exchange and LCS (at the time) that offered a HECK of a lot more features and functionality. If anything has developed to provide the capabilities of Exchange, including the tight Integration with Outlook, Lync, SharePoint, IIS and other Microsoft infrastructure products - then it certainly deserves a serious look. -Original Message- From: Matthew W.

Re: Hyjack - Linux in the Enterprise/Schools (was RE: Sophisticated Phising attempt?)
Here's another shout-out for Kerio and the like—they have a lot of interesting products out now and I've been using their mailserver (now Kerio Connect) for my personal business for a while. It's actually a pretty solid competitor to Exchange and it ties nicely to things like BES and ActiveSync mobile devices. They have some sort of Sharepoint-like product now too, and a repackaged version of Asterisk for people who'd rather spend money instead of building a PBX.

This is true, Exchange costs would be much less expensive for us thanks to the EDU discounts. But exchange support costs are a complete unknown. Kerio support is excellent, and they know their product well. Also, I'm talking about a mail server for ~350 users... not something for 5,000 users.

If you really think that, then perhaps it's time for me to go back and take another look at Kerio and other products. When I last ran the hosting portion of an ISP (toward the end of 2007), we had 3 different email offerings. A free one, based on one of the free email servers, which had low feature content (free to purchasers of other services of course). One that was $1 / month per mailbox that was based on Icewarp's Merak which had a number of additional features. And finally one based on Exchange and LCS (at the time) that offered a HECK of a lot more features and functionality.

RE: Adding an Exchange 2003 Front End server?
With all due respect, I think you should rethink your plan on putting Exchange in the DMZ. If you want to move the connections out to the DMZ then put a proxy out there that relay's the requests back to your inside server. For example an ISA server/Forefront Threat Management Gateway.

RE: Hyjack - Linux in the Enterprise/Schools (was RE: Sophisticated Phising attempt?)
Just responding to a few posts concurrently: I can't comment about schools, but enterprises need a lot more than what is listed below. Pretty much everything needs to be able to be automated. And TBH 350 users is not an enterprise, it's a small/medium business. Somewhere at 10K+ seats are you starting to look at enterprise, depending on industry/technology In terms of Exchange vs Kerio: Kerio's a mailserver. Outlook+Exchange is a lot more than that, and offers a lot more features than Kerio does. You might not need those features, or know what they are, but that doesn't mean that they aren't useful to other people. There probably isn't a single large organisation in the world that doesn't run on Notes/Exchange/Groupwise or similar enterprise messaging/collaboration platform.

RE: Hyjack - Linux in the Enterprise/Schools (was RE: Sophisticated Phising attempt?)
There are still some fairly basic hurdles that Linux needs to get over in order to make it in Enterprise/Schools: 1. Centralized management improvements: My boss wants everything to be point-and-click, so no CLI options would work here. This statement negates the first? Automate, but you want shinny clicky stuff? Frankly, in with windows if it doesn't have a cli alternative, I discount it. It only does excel in Enterprise for these reasons where in reality what your boss wants is what doesn't. If it can't be done in a GUI, she won't go for it... because what if I leave and nobody else knows how to fix things? No comment... So what she wants is not to learn a technology, but to see a gui that points her along so she just has to click next, next, next and not know what she's doing? Wow... And how do you deploy a printer to a lab? What about updating Firefox in an entire school? Trivial in linux. By design even... Updates are something still not as perfect in Windows as it is in Linux. From initial deployment even, I've written kickstarts that not only deployed the machine but setup every running daemon and configured it 100% that I didn't need to back those servers up, if they failed I redeployed in mere minutes. Given all the configuration management tools that exist, the options here limitless. Thus far, Webmin might be the best current solution to this problem, but I can't webmin 20 computers at the same time as far as I know. Honestly bud, no real Linux admin uses webmin, and for what its worth, I have never even setup a Linux server with a gui, oh I worked on one in a rhel class once:) 2. Network home folders: Everybody loves that their documents are automatically saved to the server... and we like not having to backup 1000+ desktops. Getting this to work in Linux is no cakewalk. It is actually, you simply don't how. Automount to name one of several ways that come to mind? I am fine that you don't like Linux, thats cool, but your statements are all factually incorrect. If you just say Linux sucks because you don't like it, thats valid and i can dig it. However it excels in all the areas you point out in reality. jlc ~ 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
