Remote control software
Hi We are finally moving to windows 7 however one problem we have is that on windows xp we used VNC we even created a batch file that would roll the software out to desktops. We could use remote assistance however! We arrange a time to connect but then find the user has gone to a meeting or is on lunch if this is the case we can then connect and do what we have to while they are out. In our IT policy it does say we can control you machine at any time for updates. question is then does anyone use VNC or similar on windows 7, all I get when connecting is a black screen Recommendations are very welcome Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: www.ultraframe.com Email: mailto:nigel.par...@ultraframe.co.uk Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Re: Remote control software
You will need to configure (off the top of my head) Computer Config | Admin Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Services | Remote Desktop Session Host | Connections | Allow users to connect remotely using Remote Desktop Services You may also need to configure the firewall using Computer Config | Admin Templates | Network | Network Connectuons | Windows Firewall | Domain Profile | Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote Desktop exceptions As for the Win95 and NT4 stuff, could you not virtualize them via a P2V and then use the console connections in your hypervisor software rather than any remote control software?

I use VNC with a custom script that does a silent install before it executes, and uninstall when it's done. It's pretty clean. You have the right ports open on Win7 right?

We are a food production company with several facilities. Each facility currently has disparate systems for staff that allow them entry into parking lots, exterior doors (some with magnetic locks), some interior doors. Criteria: - swipe units must be environmentally hardy: very hot or very cold for exterior units. Some units would be inside freezing or near freezing cooling units. - Active Directory integration would be a bonus, although not required. - Bonus: the ability to interface with external systems such as timekeeping, ADP payroll, etc - Centralized management: management of devices here in HQ and configuration may replicate/reside on a local controller. - Local support on the East Coast and Central regions of USA critical. We currently use the badges for photo ID as well as access. Most systems seem to accommodate this nowadays. At my last place I used Hirsch systems and they worked okay, but I had issues with remote controllers. So I'm looking to at least learn what the rest of you use.

RE: Badging systems
Check out Windsx. Or any system that uses proximity cards. No physical contact between the reader and cards, so temp extremes should not be an issue. I think their enterprise version will integrate with AD. Not sure about external integration, but I'm guessing it is there. Wasn't a concern for us. Main company is in Texas, but our local installer is very knowledgeable. I know several local schools and hospitals use this and they are both managing several sites from one central location. From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@sfgtrust.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 9:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Badging systems I'm in the market for a new badge system. We are a food production company with several facilities. Each facility currently has disparate systems for staff that allow them entry into parking lots, exterior doors (some with magnetic locks), some interior doors. Criteria: - swipe units must be environmentally hardy: very hot or very cold for exterior units. Some units would be inside freezing or near freezing cooling units. - Active Directory integration would be a bonus, although not required. - Bonus: the ability to interface with external systems such as timekeeping, ADP payroll, etc - Centralized management: management of devices here in HQ and configuration may replicate/reside on a local controller. - Local support on the East Coast and Central regions of USA critical. We currently use the badges for photo ID as well as access. Most systems seem to accommodate this nowadays. At my last place I used Hirsch systems and they worked okay, but I had issues with remote controllers. So I'm looking to at least learn what the rest of you use.

RE: This can't be right (2008R2 - 2012)
Still pretty easy. Just install 2012, install updates, add hyper-v role, configure networking as before, import vms and you are done. Don't have to export vms. This is assuming vms aren't on same drive as OS. We had 2008r2 core, and hated it. Seemed the remote hyper-v console was always losing connection to the host. 08r2 full install and 2012 has never had that problem. Then if you want to go back to core, turn off gui in 2012.

Re: Remote control software
Uh - I wasn't suggesting that I (or you) would or should bring your environement down with malware. However, it is indubitably true if malware gets into your network, given the out of date OSes and applications being run, that you could easily have a disaster on your hands where so much damage was inflicted that rectifying the situation could easily equal or exceed the cost of getting all of your kit up to date, if not outright put the company out of business. And just one person with a USB stick could get it done, or, depending on the architecture of the network, possibly an errant email or web browsing session. The latter scenario depends on the user network connected to the manufacturing network, which is all too common. *That* was the point of my comment.

Re: Powershell witth Quest - listing group memberships of users
I ended up doing this:
$AllUsers = Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 | Select
givenName,LastName,DisplayName,description,mail,ParentContainer,SAMAccountName,homeDirectory,AccountIsDisabled,MemberOf
| sort AccountIsDisabled,LastName,FirstName
ForEach ($User in $AllUsers)
{
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) = $User.displayName
$CurrentCol++
$ListOfGroups = Get-QADMemberOf $User.sAMAccountName
$UsersGroups =
ForEach ($GroupName in $ListOfGroups)
{
$UsersGroups += | + $GroupName.Name + |,
}
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) = $UsersGroups
$Sheet.columns.item($CurrentCol).columnWidth = 52
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol).WrapText = $True
}
So I nested a couple loops, and I broke out each group, enclosed it in
| - which I found makes it more readable - and stored it in an Excel
cell, which I widen and wrap, for readability.
Basically this gives me a spreadsheet of all users, their home
folders, and group memberships. I keep it as a sort of snapshot of AD,
so that in 5 years, when I get a request to restore the home folder of
some user that doesn't work here anymore, and who has been deleted out
of AD, I have a way to find out where that home folder was, and I can
query the backup system for that location and time frame. (and yes, I
have had that happen, which is why I wrote the script).

I sort this, and export to CSV. When I import the CSV into Excel, the
MemberOf, NestedMemberOf and AllMemberOf are showing as
System.String[].
What am I doing wrong? I want that MemberOf to actually list what
groups the user is a member of.
So here is where I am. I am trying to output into an Excel spreadsheet:
$AllUsers = Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 LeoneM | Select
givenName,LastName,DisplayName,description,mail,ParentContainer,SAMAccountName,homeDirectory,AccountIsDisabled,MemberOf,NestedMemberOf,AllMemberOf
| sort AccountIsDisabled,LastName,FirstName

{

$CurrentCol++
$ListOfGroups = Get-QADMemberOf $User.sAMAccountName
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) = $ListOfGroups
Write-Host $User.displayName $ListOfGroups
$CurrentRow++
$CurrentCol = 1
}
And my $ListOfGroups writes out on my screen, but does NOT get written
into the spreadsheet.
What's that about?

Subject: Re: Powershell witth Quest - listing group memberships of users
I ended up doing this:
$AllUsers = Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 | Select
givenName,LastName,DisplayName,description,mail,ParentContainer,SAMAccountName,homeDirectory,AccountIsDisabled,MemberOf
| sort AccountIsDisabled,LastName,FirstName
ForEach ($User in $AllUsers)
{
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) = $User.displayName $CurrentCol++
$ListOfGroups = Get-QADMemberOf $User.sAMAccountName $UsersGroups =
ForEach ($GroupName in $ListOfGroups)
{
$UsersGroups += | + $GroupName.Name + |,
}
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) = $UsersGroups
$Sheet.columns.item($CurrentCol).columnWidth = 52 $Cells.Item($CurrentRow,
$CurrentCol).WrapText = $True
}
So I nested a couple loops, and I broke out each group, enclosed it in | -
which I found makes it more readable - and stored it in an Excel cell, which I
widen and wrap, for readability.
Basically this gives me a spreadsheet of all users, their home folders, and
group memberships. I keep it as a sort of snapshot of AD, so that in 5 years,
when I get a request to restore the home folder of some user that doesn't work
here anymore, and who has been deleted out of AD, I have a way to find out
where that home folder was, and I can query the backup system for that location
and time frame. (and yes, I have had that happen, which is why I wrote the
script).

I sort this, and export to CSV. When I import the CSV into Excel,

$CurrentRow++

Re: Remote control software
Guaranteed immune from all malware? No. Guaranteed to be immune to malware that attacks unpatched vulnerabilities for unsupported OSes and applications? Absolutely. More likely to be recoverable? Oh hell yes. Unless the environment has been extraordinarily well maintained, from before when OP came onto the scene (we'll assume that OP is a perfect admin, for the sake of argument), how many license keys for both OSes and applications have gone missing? How many configs are well documented and understood? Install disks? There's even a further risk here for the machines that are running on hardware that can't (easily, or even at all) be replaced.

With the returned IP, do an NBTSTAT -A to check the NetBIOS name to see if it

I have to do this because frequently our VPN'd systems don't have a correct DNS

I could do a search for free ping tools, but figured a query here might save me
time if someone has a tool they do that already meets this requirement.
Advanced IP scanner comes close, but only accepts IP's and not host names as
what to ping.
Ideally the output would be in a CSV format. I'm guessing PowerShell can do
this too?

RE: IIS reporting/monitoring free tool
The best way you are going to get a true picture of this if is you run the tool on the client machine, or at the client's location. Not on the server. On the server you can look at the Time-Taken field in the IIS logs to get some idea of how long it takes IIS to put the page onto the wire. That's not the same as the client actually receiving the packet, and doesn't take into account any proxies, accelerators, caches etc. between the server and the client. Anyway, if you have some more requirements, then perhaps we can help with your searching.

Lync issue - something I don't quite understand...
All, We've got a Lync 2010 infrastructure set up, but it's doing one little thing that I'm not liking. The server has two NICs - each in a different subnet. One is in the same subnet as the rest of our servers. The other is in a subnet that sits between our L3 switch and our firewall - it's not a DMZ. I didn't set this up, but I was told that the intention was to set up the second connection in the DMZ at the appropriate time for external access - that hasn't happened yet, and I wasn't involved in the install, and know little to nothing about Lync. The behavior I'm seeing is that I cannot ping the interface that's on the server subnet at all, including from machines on that subnet (I can't RDP to that IP address either). The name of the Lync server resolves to an IP address, and which one you get depends on the state of DNS - you might get back the one for the server subnet, or you might get back the other address. I can ping the other address just fine. So, where I'm going with this is: Both NICs have default gateways assigned, and in my experience, that's a largish mistake - only one interface should have a DG. I suspect this is causing some other problems that we are seeing as well However, the fellow who set this up swears that if I remove the DG from either NIC, Lync will break. So, do any of you here know enough about Lync to say if having only one DG will break it?

RE: Lync issue - something I don't quite understand...
Having multiple DGs is wrong. There can only be one default. Windows behavior is non-deterministic when you have specified multiple default gateways. Almost certainly, the interior one needs to be eliminated and replaced by either a routing table or a set of manual routes. -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 7:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Lync issue - something I don't quite understand...

Re: Lync issue - something I don't quite understand...
That's exactly what I thought - I just couldn't think of a reason why Lync would be different than any other application. So, right now there are in effect two interior connections, which also seems problematic. I think I'll start the process of setting up the second NIC in the DMZ, giving it the DG, and setting the routes up manually for the NIC on the server subnet. That seems the cleanest way to me.

Re: Lync issue - something I don't quite understand...
Good idea on the DNS setting on the NIC. Thanks for that. I'll do that for the one with the DG when I switch it to the DMZ. I've managed many static routes (including on UAG 2010), so that's not a problem. But, I've noticed that Win2k8 R2 didn't seem to like it when I added them via netsh - I probably used the wrong incantation for my UAG machine, and ended up using the old route command I know and love. Got a tip for me there?

RE: [Bulk] RE: Remote control software
I hate to tell you this but sometimes it just is not possible to do upgrades whether is it due to no budget or there is just no software to run the attached hardware to run on newer systems. I faced this at former $dayjob$. Attached hardware was antique X-ray diffractmeter. Last software upgrade was to Windows 98, and I really mean Windows 98 not 98 SE, but the company had managed to get it to function with XP. $dayjob$ was told to either replace hardware, $150k+ just for the hardware and maybe $300k for the software, or pay them to custom write an upgrade or patch to get it to run under Vista, and they would not even estimate that price. Needless to say no upgrades were done.

All, We've got a Lync 2010 infrastructure set up, but it's doing one little thing that I'm not liking. The server has two NICs - each in a different subnet. One is in the same subnet as the rest of our servers. The other is in a subnet that sits between our L3 switch and our firewall - it's not a DMZ. I didn't set this up, but I was told that the intention was to set up the second connection in the DMZ at the appropriate time for external access - that hasn't happened yet, and I wasn't involved in the install, and know little to nothing about Lync. The behavior I'm seeing is that I cannot ping the interface that's on the server subnet at all, including from machines on that subnet (I can't RDP to that IP address either). The name of the Lync server resolves to an IP address, and which one you get depends on the state of DNS - you might get back the one for the server subnet, or you might get back the other address. I can ping the other address just fine. So, where I'm going with this is: Both NICs have default gateways assigned, and in my experience, that's a largish mistake - only one interface should have a DG. I suspect this is causing some other problems that we are seeing as well However, the fellow who set this up swears that if I remove the DG from either NIC, Lync will break.

In my case we kept really old systems and I pulled as much hardware out of retiring systems as possible to keep the existing one running.

He had the idea that all systems in the lab were his personal property and I should not be managing HIS systems but he should. The principle operator of the system had a bad habit of browsing to sites that he had been repeately warned to stay off of from office systems. Upper Management only backed me up to a certain point.
