RE: www.msn.com eating up memory

[Alex Carroll]

IE 8.0.7 Beta
Win 7 ultimate beta

Maxed out at 405MB and then went down to 70MB and started climbing again
- did this over and over again.  

In FireFox 3.0.5 it hovered around 140MB.

Windows XP SP3
Adobe Flash 10.0.12.36

I'm not signed in, FWIW.

It loads around 28-29MB (Private bytes) for both IE7 and Firefox 3.0.5

  Unable to reproduce on MSIE 6 on Win XP Pro SP2.  Consumes around 17
MB in IEXPLORE.EXE.

  Unable to reproduce with Firefox 3.0.5 on same computer.
FIREFOX.EXE starts at around 30 MB, shoots up to between 50 and 60 MB
when I go to MSN, but then stays in that neighborhood without growing.

  The above numbers are "Private Bytes" as reported by Process Explorer.

I was just saying to be careful with the vendor he chooses without
vetting them properly.  There are quite a few websites out there that
are scams.  For instance www.justnovo.com <http://www.justnovo.com/>
offers a trial of their software.  I loaded it into a VM not too long
ago and it seemed to work very well.  I did a whois of their domain and
their address and phone number came back as the same as google's
corporate address and phone number.

Been running smoothly here. Have it both on a test desktop, and threw it

for me, installed FireFox. Office 2007 works with no problems. So far, I
have not come across any software that I use normally that does not run
in Windows 7. Much quicker boot time than XP/Vista on the same machine.
Getting in the lower teens for boot time on the desktop, low 20's on the
laptop.

 

So... so far, so good.

We've had builds for about 4 months via TAP. Been running it on my main

The icon grouping thing takes a while getting used to (some ways it's
faster, but if you had pet ways of using the older-style taskbar, some
things are slower). Explorer doesn't lose folder column preferences
anymore (thank goodness). IE8 has a bunch of bugs (and the IE task bar
icon randomly doesn't display some tabs, which is really annoying). The
positioning of the "show desktop" in the bottom right corner is great
(you can drag your mouse there) unless you have a second monitor that
extends your desktop to the right. Dunno if it's my chipset drivers but
I have a heap of problems with USB power after a random number of
sleep/resume cycles.

BITS can do peer-to-peer and I know it can do the multiple-master thing;
but I can't claim to be anything close to an expert on it.

I do know that it has mucho logic designed to not impact "user
experience"
while file transfers are ongoing.

DFS R2 is a BITS server. It can be securely exposed (so say the white
papers), but I've never done it.

I'm not qualified to compare BITS to BT, but I think it's a "neato"
technology to have built-in to Windows.

  Oh!  I forgot about BITS.  And doesn't BITS in Vista SP1 have the
capability of doing peer-to-peer file sharing, just like BitTorrent
does?  Microsoft could release a stand-alone BITS client to let people
without Vista download big things like this Win 7 Beta.  They could even
offer a stand-alone BITS *server* for other companies to use.
That would be downright useful.

  (Just to tie in to a previous topic in this thread: But instead of
that, Vista gives us transparent window trim.)

  BitTorrent can generally deliver a 650 MB CD image in around ten
minutes on my nuttin' special cable Internet feed.  And unlike
conventional file transfer methods, the more people downloading a
torrent at once, the *faster* it goes.

  I dunno if BITS was intended for that kind of massive share swarm,
high-speed transfer though.  BitTorrent has caused a lot of cheap
routers and network drivers to fail under the load it can generate.
Trying to use BITS that way might violate the design assumption.

Auditing Everything

[Alex Carroll]

I have a request from my CEO to audit everything that happens on our
network.  When users open files, when they change files, delete files,
use any programs, go to any websites (we use ie7, firefox), etc etc etc.
Do any of you have a good solution you can recommend for that?  I can
google all I want, but I won't know the real world experience by doing
that.  We are a smaller company - 16 users.  Right now we have 3 servers
(1 SBS 03, 2 that are 2003) in production.  We use XP and Vista.

 

Thanks in advance!

I work for a company with ~300 employees, is there a reason to
discourage a few of our employees from installing LogMeIn Free on their
systems so they can remote control their work machine and bypass the
need to use a VPN license?

 

I've used LogMeIn Free for years to connect to all my own business
clients, but it's one thing to use it myself and small businesses,
another to recommend it's use to a larger company with resources for
VPN, etc.

 

My kneejerk reaction is "no", but damned if I can come up with a viable
excuse for that opinion.

RE: Search software

[Alex Carroll]

You could always go for a Document Management System.  If you import the
documents into one of these - something like Laserfiche - the documents
can be OCR'd and searchable whether they be TIFF, PDF (created by word
or scanned in), etc.

 Huh?  The Google appliance does search within files.  Including PDF.
For MS search (desktop or server) you can get a filter for PDF.  Adobe
has iFilters, but the filter from FoxIT is recommended.

 

Of course, it depends on how the PDF was created.  If the file was just
scanned from paper into PDF, it will not search as the PDF is just an
image.  However, if it was created from a file (Word or something) and
then create the PDF, it will work just fine.

The key to any search software is based on how you name your files.
Traditional searches will be limited, especially if want to search
within pdf or tif files.  Windows search will search within Microsoft
documents, but you'll have to OCR all the files to get the functionality
within PDF's, tifs, or traditional scanned documents.  Google search
appliances won't even search within the files as of yet.  

 

We've used imaging products like imagenow or Lexis Nexis LAW to produce
these results, but your budget may limit this type of solution.

You could always do a "wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow" on
the client - that will force it to report to the WSUS server and then it
will go away now instead of having to wait for them to report... just to
make sure that waiting will work.

Subject: Declining an already approved WSUS update

 


I made a bonehead mistake, and approved the installation of .NET
Framework 3.0 (I wanted to just approve the updates to it, so that any
system that had it was updated,  but didn't want to just generally
install it). Luckily, none of my WSUS clients auto-install., so it
didn't get pushed out to the clients. But I did see that WSUS thought a
substantial number of clients needed it, and now I see that update on
the clients, as an update waiting to be downloaded.. 

Now I've gone back into the list of approved updates, and declined that
specific item. I'm hoping that any of the systems that had been listed
as "needing installation" from when it was approved, will now just
remove that item from the list of needed updates, the next time the
clients check into the WSUS server? For example, I still see it in the
list of updates waiting to be downloaded on the WSUS server itself, even
after declining the update and rebooting. 

What else do I need to do, to ensure that the v3 Framework is not
installed on the clients? 

Thanks

I am having issues here.  This has been going on for a while and is just
a rather large annoyance but I am starting to wonder if something more

then locks his account out after it reaches the maximum bad password
limit.  This seems to happen every hour and a half or so (between 1-2
hours).

It happens on a 1-2 hour interval.  The latest few that are in the event
log as of this AM are:

6:09:48 AM

4:19:44 AM

2:42:41 AM

1:06:38 AM

 

This happens regardless of whether he is logged in to the server or not
- I do not know of any processes running under his account on either one
of the two machines in question.  If it is the AV, it is using the
correct account (the domain admin account) on the problem server.  And
to be honest I am pretty sure the AV is not installed on this machine
either...

How often???  We had an issue that some people tried to pass off and say
it was our teams fault and when I finally had time to dig into the issue
it turned out those same people change some settings in the antivirus
policy and had it using the local administrator account instead of the
domain account to access a network share.  

 

Point to be had is there a pattern with these logs.  Knowing the pattern
may help to find out what process runs that often.

Subject: Looking for packet shaping/viewer appliance/sotware


At one of my clients we have the need to try and determine how the
internet is being utilized.  The 10mb is constantly swamped and I have a
hard time believing it's for work-related reasons.

I'm looking at putting in some kind of software/device that analyzes the
internet traffic and can tell me how much is being used for basic web
surfing, streaming video, webcam usage, p2p programs, internet radio, or
whatever else might be happening.

I know packeteer has a product that does this, but we are NOT looking to
"shape" the bandwidth at this time, merely view it so we can make a
determination of what to do from there.  They used to have a "viewer"
product in the past long ago called PacketPup but I'm not sure if they
do anymore...

Any recommendations on how I can determine what the internet is being
used for as it relates to Applications?

Thanks
JR

RE: Wasabi VMX 2000 vs. HP EVA 4400

[Alex Carroll]

For full disclosure I should mention that I worked there for a summer
for an internship redesigning their web page... but that does not
discount that they do have a pretty great SAN (I never deal with SAN, so
from my limited research and from talking with people, they do seem to
have a good thing going).

Compellent also guarantees that you will get about a 40% reduction in
the space required for your SAN or they will make up the difference in
drives for free.

Have you looked into Compellent?  From what I hear they are a good SAN
to use.

  Try an uninstall and reinstall of Adobe Acrobat.  That seems to be
Adobe's fix for everything.

Adobe Acrobat won't convert files to PDF after MS Update

[Alex Carroll]

I have a single user here that converts a lot of documents into PDF
files.  Everything was running smoothly until we installed Service Pack
3 on his XP system.  Now every time a Microsoft update is run he is
unable to convert files to PDF using Adobe Acrobat - it just hangs in
the creation process.  The temporary fix for this is to delete the
Application Date (C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application
Data\Adobe).  This is starting to get rather annoying as our updates are
run every Sunday.  Has anyone else here encountered this?  I have tried
looking on the Adobe forums and have found nothing (even googling has
failed me!)  I have gone as far as granting him local admin rights but
this failed as well.

 

Thanks in advance :-)

The Death of Windows 3.x

[Alex Carroll]

Just found this interesting...

Microsoft has just stopped issuing licenses for Windows 3.x on Nov.1.

Ahh the memories of windows 3.x I remember back in the day when it
was just coming out.  I was still a youngster back then :).
