Re: [Bulk] RE: Remote control software
A few years ago I found a computer running DOS 5 on a system. It was in a lab quietly running a program for research. As far as I know, it is still chunking along. I think all of our Win 98 eagle eye systems finally have died. $100K+ to replace. you should try getting data off of a IBM microchannel pc. I was unsuccessful. We still have data on 250mb iomega zip drives. we had a piece of equipment in which the fan went out. the fan was special and could not be replaced with an off the shelf version without getting errors on the equipment. the manufacturer said that they could get us a 3 muffin fan for $4000.00. I dont know if it is still running with errors or it got replaced. If you have a production server running Win NT, they need to be constantly informed of what will happen when it dies. i.e - everything goes down, you might not be able to fix it, it might take X days to fix it, a plan should be in place just in case, with costs... Andy-0 - Original Message - So, it *was* possible - they just didn't want to pay the price. Let's hope they mitigated the risk somehow - perhaps by making sure it wasn't connected to a network and by making sure they had replacement hardware on the shelf.

And I understand that there has to be a fee for this. And I even agree that MS isn't really making money off this. But just doing some basic numbers (I may be way off on these figures so don't crucify me on this). If there are 4 sessions a year in any given track (SQL, Messaging, DS, etc...)That's 100 people that need to pay for the course. Thats' $1.4milliion. Even say they cut this in half, they would only be reducing their revenue by $750K per track. In terms of MS, that is peanuts. This is not a revenue stream for MS, they are just trying to recoup some of the costs. But this would open it up to a much larger pool of potential candidates.

If people ask why malware is crated or why they should protect their computer, I usually point them to this blog. It is just a compilation of stuff you guys posted and some that I found. andyy-blogg.blogspot.com andy0 - Original Message - It’s never occurred to me to mention this to people when explaining why security is important: “There are those who believe that the security issues facing home users are greatly exaggerated, and that the only entities which need to be concerned about desktop and network security are businesses which have critical data on their machines. And many think that only broadband users or folks with high-speed connections need to be concerned. Truth is, the vast majority of computer systems, including corporate ones, are not compromised for the data they may contain. Rather, they are often compromised for practice purposes, such as storage space for warez, or to create remote zombies for large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against other networks. Compromised systems today are even being used to send SPAM. Most systems are not necessarily compromised by a dedicated cracker trying a variety of remote commands until he/she successfully cracks the system password. Instead, most attacks today are performed using automated tools which attempt to exploit known vulnerabilities in various OSes and applications. On a number of occasions, Internet traffic has been bogged down by the propagation of Viruses and Worms via unpatched systems. Among the more notable instances are Code Red, NIMDA, SQL Slammer, MSBlaster, and the Sasser worms. Given the rapid growth of home networks, this situation will only get worse if security does not become more important to more people -- vendors and users alike. “ http://www.brainwavecc.com/techdocs/Security.html David Lum Sr. Systems Engineer // NWEA TM Office 503.548.5229 // Cell (voice/text) 503.267.9764 ~ 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: Quickbooks getting slower and slower
Well, we have standalone clients, so its not the server. On a couple of machines I worked on reinstalling .NET 1, 1.1,2,3,3.5 seemed to fix a quickbooks problem. On others I have noticed that Quickbooks sometimes updated or installed some .NET software. On others I noticed that there are .NET updates that have not installed, but quickbooks runs ok. So I am not sure it is .NET, but suspecting it *might* have something to do with some of the slowness and popups we are seeing on some computers. So I am thinking that Quickbooks has some .NET code in it. Maybe, but, not a lot of time has been spent on Quickbooks. Just looking for verification, so I threw it out there.

In my previous position within my current employer, I was responsible for interviewing the last 10 vacancies for Systems Engineers, so I have a decent amount of experience over the last few years related to this. My first question is whether you should be targeting a larger company, instead of a similar small business. If you have 11 years experience, and your main issue is a greater challenge. I'm not sure switching to another SMB environment is the way to go. I'd target medium sized environments in the 2K-10K user range. You will get a significantly greater range of experiences and much more room for career advancement. If you are happy and want to stay in the SMB market, that is great. Just a suggestion. As for the questions you want to ask during the 2nd interview. Always a very good idea. Just keep it to a minimum. You have over 20 questions listed. Don't ask all of them. I would limit it to 2 or 3 at the most. From your list my suggestions would be: What do you like about working here? How long was the previous Sys Admin employed here? (Has there been a lot of turnaround?) I think most of the technical questions you could work into the interview itself as you are answering questions. Here are a few other suggestions, going on the assumption that the first interview was over the phone and this will be the first face-to-face interview: Wear a suit and tie (assuming male gender) or similar business attire if female. Don't wear a polo shirt and kaki's, even if the environment is jeans and t-shirt. Good handshake and direct eye contact. Bring a copy of your resume with you Don't be vague. Answer questions directly. If you don't know something TELL THEM Never try to BS on a topic you don't know. Good luck with the interview.

Computer system administrator or sysadmin is a career that is difficult to explain and I'm sure my attempts have left you even more confused. I have good news. Oxford University Press has just published a book by 4 scientists who video taped sysadmins doing their job, analysed what they do, and explains it to the non-computer person. They do it by telling compelling stories of sysadmins at work plus they give interesting analysis with great insight. Why did they do this? Because businesses depend on technology more and more and that means they depend on sysadmins more and more. Yet most CEOs don't understand what we do. The scientists made some interesting discoveries: that our jobs are high-stress, high-risk, and highly collaborative. We invent our own tools, often on the spot, to solve complex problems. We are men and women of every age group. It is a career unlike any other. These are things that most people don't know about our profession. The book is very engaging: Some of the chapters read like the opening scene of Indiana Jones; others like Gorillas in the Mist. Kandogan, Maglio, Haber and Bailey have put together a very serious, scientific book with care and compassion. I'm not one of the sysadmins they studied but every story they tell reminds me of real experiences I have had. I hope you enjoy reading this book. I know I did. Pre-order it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0195374126/tomontime-20 Sincerely, Tom P.S. In all seriousness, I read a draft of this book and highly recommend it to others. You may have seen the authors speak at Usenix LISA or LOPSA PICC conferences where they showed clips of the video tapes they made. The book conveys the same stories, plus many more, with interesting analysis. If you think that the profession of system administration would benefit from non-sysadmins better understanding what we do, I highly recommend you pre-order this book and share it.

The OS is Windows 7 enterprise. Ran cmd/msi as admin, didnt work. Ran cmd/msi as admin and did a runas admin/msi within the admin cmd window, didnt work, redundant I know, but I was trying everything. As far as I know you cannot run a msi under a command prompt, unless there is a switch somewhere to do it. What does /K do? You can run an msi under a command prompt if you use msiexec. I tried running msiexec under the command prompt as admin and as runas domain\admin. I would ask what are the differences between gotoassist and teamviewer, but This is the 2nd program that I ran into that would not install under a restricted user.

Re: OT - ugh!
I agree with this, unfortunately I find looking for a job to be a job. Not quite my passion... But I am looking for a job so my plan over the next 9 years would be to 1st 3 years - get a certification in VMware (or on any virtualized platform) and from this list it looks like a Citrix Certification would be a good addition. The next 3 year job - get a up to date certification in CCNE and MCSE. The next 3 year job - to be determined. Or insert you own views for my development at your company. I am pretty good with the basics and consider myself very knowledgeable in most... Contact me offline for the positions you want me in. Also provide the information for each 3 year period you would want me to work. Of course I expect a decent salary and significant increases when changing jobs. Even though I have been at my present job for quite a while, we have had a lot of diversification with the system admins that have gone through our network. Each one brings in his own ideas and setups, then moves on after setting up his own opinion. Then we are left to troubleshoot the problems and try to provide reliability with what was left. They bring in their own new ways so we do see different ways to do and not to do things. We are exposed. I am looking to make it in your next review cycle. Andy0 - Original Message - I am sympathetic to the company doing the interview here. If you've been in one place for 15 years straight doing internal IT, you are unlikely to have much in the way of diversified experience. Every time you work with a new customer or take a new position at a new company, you're going to see new ways to do things. Some will be better, some will be worse, but, you'll see them, and even more so, you'll be exposed to the goods/bads. Some large companies have expectations that you'll move around internally every few years to change things up and when people don't, they have a way of not making it in review cycles.

Re: Dump NetBIOS?
I tried this on a new server setup and domain setup. I figured why enable WINS if I have Netbios over TCP. Everything worked fine, but there were intermittent problems connecting to shares. It was a small group so there was only file sharing, nothing complicated. Due to another directive, I enabled WinS to check a problem, and since I enabled WINS I dont get calls about shares not connecting or being available. Andy - Original Message - Some of mine too... That was my first annoyance. Yes, there are alternatives, but the APIs involved are much slower, for reasons that I haven't looked into.

Re: Whoa...wkikpedia.
yea, too bad that wikipedia is the only place online to get information. Maybe somebody could look into this problem. Is wikipedia a monopoly? Maybe the government should look into it and split it up. It is not a good idea to just have one website with all of the worlds information. What happens if they have a network problem or a computer outage. All of the worlds information would be lost. Andy0 - Original Message - I was responding directly to your assertion that they do “off-line lookups”, so other online sources wasn’t part of your original argument. I think you assume that everyone has access to a well-stocked library, but that is not the case for everyone. I know several municipalities around here either have no library or one with just a few hundred books. So a fifth grader that doesn’t have a local library should bicycle 20 miles (or more) to a larger city and do their research or they deserve to fail? We’ll just have to disagree on that. Should kids learn how to use a library? Sure, but I wonder if we will even have as many of those as we do today in 10-20 years. Things are going in a different direction. Look to New York today and see what is likely the beginning of the end of traditional textbooks. Kindles and iPads are already killing all the bookstores. Printed books aren’t likely to go away anytime in the near future, but they will certainly be diminished. Public libraries will probably have less and less physical books and become more and more just public places to go for internet access.
