RE: washable keyboard and mouse?

2013-01-09 Thread James Hill 
HP sell a good quality washable keyboard and mouse.  I've got one in use in
an area that has a mixture of dirt, steam etc and it has worked well so far.

Subject: Re: washable keyboard and mouse?

 

Follow up on this if anyone is interested: 

Got them last night (haven't tried washing yet), and they work. Can't say I
love it. That's not a dig on the hardware or the performance. 2 biggest
things I don't like about this particular set: 

- No indicator lights for (Caps, Num Lock), I now realize this is common for
wireless keyboards. 
- The mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel, but uses a sensor to serve the same
function. Works, but not very well. Really miss the scroll wheel. 

So I can't say I recommend this. Already looking to replace, probably with a
Logitech MK710 set (gives me both features). Not washable, but I can live
with that.

Ahh, so your concern is support, not coexistence of AIX/AD? I misread, my bad.

Yeah, gotta learn a new trick sometimes.

At all the CUs I worked at, there were separate support teams for both sides.

Depends on what your level of involvement or support for the system will
be. If you are lucky, your vendor will take care of everything from
migration to support. Or will you be responsible for support of the
hardware and  the underlying OS on the AIX boxes? That can be
challenging if you don't have experience with it. As far as having it
run alongside AD, you shouldn't have any issues. Will the application be
authenticating the users against AD ?

Did you ask how bringing in a wildly different system you have to support

Re: washable keyboard and mouse?

2013-01-09 Thread Christopher Bodnar 
Follow up on this if anyone is interested:

Got them last night (haven't tried washing yet), and they work. Can't say 
I love it. That's not a dig on the hardware or the performance. 2 biggest 
things I don't like about this particular set:

- No indicator lights for (Caps, Num Lock), I now realize this is common 
for wireless keyboards.
- The mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel, but uses a sensor to serve the 
same function. Works, but not very well. Really miss the scroll wheel. 

So I can't say I recommend this. Already looking to replace, probably with 
a Logitech MK710 set (gives me both features). Not washable, but I can 
live with that.

RE: AIX and Windows

2013-01-09 Thread Christopher Bodnar 
Depends on what your level of involvement or support for the system will 
be. If you are lucky, your vendor will take care of everything from 
migration to support. Or will you be responsible for support of the 
hardware and  the underlying OS on the AIX boxes? That can be challenging 
if you don't have experience with it. As far as having it run alongside 
AD, you shouldn't have any issues. Will the application be authenticating 
the users against AD ?

2013-01-09 Thread Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife 
It's a pretty nice place to work.  Unfortunately, I don't go out into the field 
much at all, but it's a really good team that I work with.  We're getting ready 
to start Wave 1 of our massive upgrade from XP on the desktops, Novell for 
file/print and Groupwise for e-mail, moving to Win7 on desktops, Active 
Directory, and Exchange.  Oh, and replacing 400 Blackberries with iPhones.  
Then, when we're done with that, we get to migrate the mail to the cloud, due 
to the Governator making a law requiring it.  Even though we can run it much 
more efficiently and cost effective in-house.

As far as I know, they'll all end up with expired passwords.

Easiest workaround is to reduce the max password age by one day every day for 
the next 30 days.

One more thing I would add about Tech Mentor is that it's muchmuch... 
smaller than TechEd. So the size of the audiences is less intimidating. This 
also gives you more face time with the instructors for one-on-one discussions, 
if that is something that might interest you.

  _  




I have attended TechMentor like 6 times now.  I always get great information 
from the tracks I choose. 
I use SQL, Exchange, Cisco ASA, Cisco IOS, Ironports, LogRhythm SIEM product, 
Windows 2003,2008 and Windows XP and 7.  Active Directory at 2008 R2 level with 
TrendMicro for Antivirus. 
So this is good for me.  I have not ever looked at TechEd, mostly because I 
thought it was for educators and trainers more the System Admins like us.  
After reading some of the responses I will look at Tech Ed and see if it would 
fit for me.  I am really biased on TechMentor though because I take their ideas 
bounce them off this list and my Auditors and then implement my own creative 
ideas from there.  But without the starting place I would be more lost than I 
seem with I post…. 
Hope that helps a little.?

We will most like be going to an AIX solution for our Core employee 
program.  Does anyone work with an AIX system and if so do you also have 
Windows AD 2008R2 running alongside it??
Just trying to get ahead of this.

RE: TechEd vs TechMentor

2013-01-09 Thread Christopher Bodnar 
One more thing I would add about Tech Mentor is that it's muchmuch... 
smaller than TechEd. So the size of the audiences is less intimidating. 
This also gives you more face time with the instructors for one-on-one 
discussions, if that is something that might interest you.

I actually was at Redmond as well last year and in the meet and greets there 
were many admin running either of those and some HyperV guys.  They all had 
there prespectives and were more than will to talk in detail how they were set 
up and how it would best fit your environment.  So you can get that information 
indirectly at probably either .

You will get nothing on the last two at either conference.

 

IMO, TechMentor is for more Beginner to Intermediate level folk.  The one I 
went to in August was an anomaly.  It was at MS HQ and most sessions were 
extremely technical.

 

TechEd runs the range from Beginner to Advanced but the average is Intermediate.

RE: Time sync

2013-01-09 Thread Ken Schaefer 
Hmm - the more I think about this, the more I think this is not really an issue.

You have three options:

a)  Fully provision your VMWare disks (with some spare raw capacity for 
expansion) - what you do today

b)  You thin provision your Hyper-V disks, but leave oodles of spare 
capacity to let them grow to full size (what you don't want to do)
However both (a) and (b) require roughly the same amount of raw disk space, but 
(b) gives you more flexibility IMHO, since across hundreds of servers, not all 
are going to go cuckoo at the same time.

Or you go for option (c):
Implement thin provisioned disks, but don't provision oodles of spare disk 
space - provision enough based on what you expect capacity growth for 6-12 
months will be (whatever your project lifecycle is), plus has a reserve 
capacity domain that you can migrate VMs to in the event that something 
unexpected occurs.

That will involve a bit more up-front architecture to give you that 
flexibility, but save you money in buying spare disk capacity. The flexibility 
would be useful for all sorts of resource constraints (disk, RAM, CPU), and 
also to give you automated ways of dealing with hardware failures as well, 
without having to over provision to start with.

Cheers
Ken

We use SCOM to monitor everything, and we have some homegrown stuff on top of 
that. So, we do monitor.

However, what we saw in the early days of virtualization was that dynamic disks 
could cause things to go south *very* quickly. I personally would not be 
comfortable in a situation where we've over-allocated disk without having a 
fairly large free host disk space buffer. I know at least one of the other 
admins here feels the same way.

As far as I'm concerned, I will not implement thin disks UNLESS I can add up 
all of the file system sizes and verify  the host store has enough capacity to 
handle them fully grown. To do otherwise just seems like an invitation for 
problems.

If I can't add up all the filesystem sizes, we'll either use thick disks and 
overestimate the sizes, or we'll use thin disks and just insure that we keep 
100's of gigs of free space on each host store. Management can worry about the 
explosion of disk costs.

Seriously?

Are you an ITIL shop? Do you not have capacity management plans and 
systems/tools in place? Or do you just fly by the seat of your pants? 
Everything should be monitored, and you're getting nice trending graphs. Sure, 
sometimes things go unexpectedly wrong - but that can happen for all sorts of 
reasons and is a fact of IT - you need a proper incident system and recovery to 
handle it. This whole cloud thing you hear about is making sure you have 
resilient services

How do you "manage your capacity properly"? I'm not being facetious - I really 
want to know since it looks like we are switching to HyperV.

Microsoft's recommendation is to create thin disks for more than you ever think 
you need. Then, when creating the OS, use disk manager to create the file 
system with the minimum you can get by with. This allows the VHD file to only 
grow up to the size of the file system it contains.

Then, if a virtual's file system runs out of space, you can use storage 
management to extend the disk into some the free space you allocated in the VHD 
file.  This allows you to have room for expansion, but keeps any one virtual 
from exhausting free physical disk.

For example: Let's say we need a SQL server. We think we can get by with the 
following disks:
C: - 40GB (os)
D: - 30GB (logs)
E: - 100GB (data)

Microsoft is telling us to create thin disks of, say,  1TB each. However, when 
we install the OS, we create NTFS file systems on each disk with the desired 
sizes of 40GB, 30GB, and 100GB. We now know that in the current state, this 
virtual can only grow its thin disks to a total of 170GB.  If the E:  runs out 
of space, we can use disk manager to extend the NTFS file system, which will 
grow the thin disk up to the new NTFS file system size. This gives you the 
ability to easily grow disks at will, but prevents any one virtual from hogging 
all the free host disk.

This sort of seems reasonable, but it complicates disk management immensely. 
Now, in order to know the max my virtuals might take, I have to look at each 
host store, find all of the virtual machines with VHD files on that store, then 
figure out each virtual's drive letter for that VHD (is that even possible?), 
then add up all the file system sizes. Seems like a lot of work, even if you 
script it up.
