I'm no batch scripter, but admod is complaining that it doesn't like
the DN "$i" when it has no business knowing the names of your

All,

I'm splitting out the large home share on our file server, and
spreading the user directories across three different LUNs (don't ask,
it's a long story...)

So, I've got the files copying now, but I need to reset all of the
user profiles to reflect the new shares to which they'll be directed.

I've got a list with the DN for each user, and the new share name, it
in the format of:

"cn=Chatty 
Kathy,ou=users,ou=companyname-us,dc=company,dc=com"\\fileserver\home1\ckathy

and admod isn't liking it.

This incantation spits up error messages:

 for /f "tokens=1,2 " %i in (change1.txt) do admod -b $i
"homedrive::H:" "homedirectory::%j"

That looks like this:

 DN Count: 1
 Using server: dc4.company.com:389
 Directory: Windows Longhorn

 Modifying specified objects...
DN: $i...: [dc4.company.com] Error 0x22 (34) - Invalid DN Syntax

 ERROR: Too many errors encountered, terminating...

 The command did not complete successfully

And so on...

Does anyone have a better way of doing this that they could share with
me? I really don't want to modify each account manually, since I've
got about 220 of them.

Thanks,

Kurt

RE: Otish Server room disaster.

[Kennedy, Jim]

Amazingly everything is running. So far only one hard drive out of an array is 
bad. But I am sure we will be really paying for this for months/years to come 
as this stuff dies early and in weird ways.

Yea, funds are wide open now. I have been on them for two years about this 
system. It is a brand new building and the HVAC/Emergency power has never been 
right. This is the third or fourth time this has happened. But in the past they 
were minor events like you describe. We were hear and were able to minimize the 
damage.
I think it went better this time because my boss is on vacation. He is a great 
guy but he won't get out the clue by four as often as he should. Nor will he 
hit them with it as hard as he should. Since he is gone my immediate supervisor 
is the man that runs the district...of course I had to contact him directly to 
let him know we were going down hard.

I explained the history in a very firm but professional manner. He has already 
directed operations to do it my way.

You have my sympathy, Jim. We had a similar issue but luckily the servers just 
shut down when their internal temp >100.  We did almost the exact same thing 
you're planning.  We put in a new A\C unit and set up a heat\humidty alarm 
system.  It sends an alert to the Operator who then pages us and Plant 
Operations.

use a Halon tank, that will flood the room if triggered by fire sensors.  The 
yearly maintenance has only been a couple hundred.

Subject: Fire suppression in Server rooms

I have just 2 racks in a 12' * 12' room and also 2 racks in a 12' * 8' room in 
my other building that currently has sprinklers.
What are some cost affective alternatives to fire suppression in Server rooms?
Do you guys have any some recommendations?

Re: Can't send large attachments

[S Powell]

Indeed Sir!

It was the IronPort.  It seems that before AsyncOS 7.6 there was a
larger file size limit, 40M it is now 10M (and as some people
correctly pointed out with MIME encoding accounting for 150%
inflation) you have a functional limit of around 7.5M although YMMV.

The good news it that we know what the issue is;  at least we have
that.  A vague "something is wrong" is not an acceptable answer.

--as always thanks to everyone for your help.

Re: Wow! Don't Get Sick!

[Rankin, James R]

Depends how old. AppSense's AM component can operate back to Windows 2000 I 
think - I can find out if it goes back any further if anyone's interested.

I'm fairly sure SRPs were available in AD GPOs a long time ago though - was 
that under 2000 or 2003? And even NT4 had a list of "allowed applications" you 
could configure in the System Policy Editor, IIRC

Cheers,



JR

Whitelisting has been discussed here many times; for systems dedicated to a
primary task or two, I'd think it would be ideal.  Is there any good way to
do effective whitelisting on the older operating systems?

I suppose you might still run into legal issues and vendor finger pointing;
just curious.
