RE: Exchange Server 2013: Not quite ready for the data center - Computerworld
LOL, I know--hence not ordering any hardware yet. Hard to know what to buy to support a vaporware migration. But, from rumors, migration compatibility will likely show up in the March/April timeframe, and then there will probably be a rollup or two after that to fix issues. If that actually comes to fruition, with our business cycle, that probably means a June/July migration for us. -Original Message- From: Michael B.

RE: Domain upgrade: 2008 R2 or 2012 ?
Eventually I will be responsible for both. My biggest fear at this point is that we find some kind of incompatibility with 2012 down the road. As you mentioned the 2012 will be a new build that needs to be certified in our environment. Where as 2008 R2 has been in our environment and stable for 3 years now. I'm leaning towards 2012, just think there will be more testing and evaluation work needed for that since it will be a new OS for our environment. I think we are at least 6 months out from this project, so I have time. Just starting to think about it now.

Are you doing a technical evaluation or a business case? From a technical PoV, I think the posts already have this covered: there are some incremental enhancements and no real downsides (platform is stable, covered in your EA etc.) From a broader perspective, is your project going to have to pick up shared costs like a new Win2k12 build, updating CMDB, deployment and support capability blah, blah? That might impact your business case. Cheers Ken From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:christopher_bod...@glic.com] Sent: Friday, 8 February 2013 8:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Domain upgrade: 2008 R2 or 2012 ? Has anyone done this evaluation recently? We are a 2003 R2 shop. We were in the process of planning a migration to a 2008 R2 domain last year (hardware was bought and deployed), when the funds got cut. From what I hear, we will have funding and approval this year for the project. So the question is now, 2008 R2 or 2012. I've had very little time with 2012 so far. Hopefully that will change in the near future. The benefits of going from 2003 to 2008 R2 i've already captured. From what I've seen so far, 2012 seems stable and an incremental upgrade for our environment. Some of the things that might push me towards 2012 don't apply in our environment. for Example RDS and Hyper-V. We are a big Citrix and VMWare shop. So I don't really see us making use of those specific features, or the enhancements in them from previous versions. From my understanding 2012 is included in our EA agreement. So I don't think it will really be a licensing issue. Love to hear thoughts and comments from others who are going through this right now, or have done this evaluation recently.

I set up a small FreeBSD machine to serve IP addresses via DHCP, and that was dead simple. It is a layer2 VLAN, traversing our backbone, and terminating on our corporate firewall. However, there are now other tenants in our building, and the subnet is getting too much bandwidth and address consumption - the range I set up is completely filled, and the VLAN is consuming about half of our Internet pipe, which is far too much for my comfort. I suspect the other tenants are leeching. What I've read of captive portals seems to indicate that the portal is part of the firewall. I could be wrong about that, though. Regardless, the corporate firewall will not be allowed to be part of this solution. The only other alternative I see right now is to set up a password on the SSID, and have the front desk hand it out to guests, after mailing it to staff, and I'm getting pushback on that from my manager.

I set up a small FreeBSD machine to serve IP addresses via DHCP, and that was dead simple. It is a layer2 VLAN, traversing our backbone, and terminating on our corporate firewall. However, there are now other tenants in our building, and the subnet is getting too much bandwidth and address consumption - the range I set up is completely filled, and the VLAN is consuming about half of our Internet pipe, which is far too much for my comfort. I suspect the other tenants are leeching. What I've read of captive portals seems to indicate that the portal is part of the firewall. I could be wrong about that, though. Regardless, the corporate firewall will not be allowed to be part of this solution. The only other alternative I see right now is to set up a password on the SSID, and have the front desk hand it out to guests, after mailing it to staff, and I'm getting pushback on that from my manager. Does anyone have some ideas I could pursue on this?

People would find a useful chapter online and then buy the book to have it as a reference. Wiley and I agreed to do the same with the second edition, and now, four years after publication, I am putting all the chapters online for free. Enjoy them - and I hope you'll buy the paper version to have as a conveient shelf reference: Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Wiley Buy from Amazon.co.uk (Kindle version) Here are the errata for the second edition, and here's a page of notes and links concerning relevant topics that I've come across since publication. Supplementary materials: If you're a college professor thinking of using my book in class, note that we use my book in three courses at Cambridge: * the first part in second-year Introduction to Security (course material and past exam questions) * the second in third-year Security (course material and questions), and * the third part in our second-year Software Engineering (course, questions and still more questions). I hope you find these useful. You're welcome to use and adapt any of my slides if you wish under this Creative Commons license. Also, if you're an instructor at an accredited institution, you can request an evaluation copy via Wiley's website. __ Visit the InfoSec News Security Bookstore Best Selling Security Books and More! http://www.shopinfosecnews.org ~ 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

RE: Java
I was also told that they were not doing any more updates to version 6 after this month, so we're going to need to make the jump sooner or later, just wanted to make sure there's no blaring, remote code execution holes at the moment.
