From: Ben Scott [mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 6:43 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Get rid of Favorites gold star in MSIE 8 Okay, we're finally starting to tackle the process of upgrading to MSIE 8 from MSIE 6, having been given the green light by all our customer SCI portals. One challenge I face is the widow of the company's founder, who is a nice old lady who unfortunately does not get computers *at all*. I'm trying to make MSIE 8 as much like the MSIE 6 she is used to, and as simple as possible. I've turned off most of the new toolbar icons and menus and search box and other stuff, turned off tabbed browsing, and turned the traditional menu bar back on. PROBLEM: I cannot find a way to remove the Favorites button, with its gold star icon, and the giant toolbar strip which holds it. When clicked, this button folds out a panel on the left of the window, listing favorites. This is redundant to the Favorites menu, and (more importantly) will just confuse her. The giant toolbar strip would otherwise have tabs and/or new menu icons on it, except all that is disabled, so it's just a mostly-empty gray block of nothing. It eats up a ton of screen space, which is important on the laptop she has. If I right-click the toolbar strip and choose Customize, I have the option to show the Favorites bar (formerly known as the Links bar). If I do that, a new toolbar strip appears, the Favorites button moves there, and the first giant toolbar strip disappears. But I don't want to display the Favorites bar, either. The Favorites button does not appear in Add or Remove Commands under Customize. It's simply not there. When tabbed browsing is enabled, the Favorites button will appear on the tab bar, which at least keeps it from wasting space. But like I said, tabbed browsing is disabled (because otherwise this person will continually lose her web pages and my phone will never stop ringing). I found some people suggesting I disable the Command Bar via Group Policy. I tried invoking that policy, which did cause the Command Bar to become grayed out in the list of available toolbars, but it didn't hide the Favorites button. I found a GP setting to disable the Favorites bar. Invoking that, Favorites Bar became grayed out in the toolbar list, but the button and its toolbar is still there. If I do that when Favorites Bar was previously selected, upon GP application, the other bar comes back, with the button. Is there a way to do this, or am I just doomed to more support headaches because Microsoft decided you shouldn't be able to remove a button? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: Get rid of Favorites gold star in MSIE 8
Hi Ben, Yes, it worked for me. You have to restart IE for the change to take effect.

Hey folks, Looking for thoughts/experience/opinions on paging file usage on systems with large amounts of RAM. Primary application will be SQL Server 2005. We have a pair of new Dell R910 servers, each has 256GB of RAM. The default swap file created by Win2008 R2 Enterprise basically filled ¾ of the local storage that we bought with the server (primary storage will be SSD drives on our CX4 array). We’ve been kicking around the idea of either: disabling the swap file altogether, forcing it to something smaller, or purchasing some additional local storage to dedicate to swap. I’m concerned with application crashing if/when memory gets filled and has no swap to move to – but at the same time, it’s 256GB of RAM – should take quite a bit to fill. Right now, I’m leaning toward buying some additional local storage and dedicating it to swap. Seems like a waste of resources, but this is an essential business application so money is easier to come by for this. Interested in hearing your thoughts or experiences.

Re: Anyone leaving their current AV and returning back to Symantec enterprise?
We are running SAV because we are a Symantec Partner, therefore I assume we get it for free. But, if I had the decision I would switch to VIPRE in a flash. I have nothing against Symantec, in fact they have a strong portfolio of solutions. However, their Antivirus / Endpoint Protection is unwieldy, badly designed and above all a bloated resource drainer. I would be very surprised if anyone here came out strongly in favour of SAV, but I would be very interested to hear if anyone has positive experiences. Always want to be open minded.

Re: Domain controllers, what is supposed to happen.
Hi Mark, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Firstly why have you split the FSMO roles out on to two different domain controllers? It's not that it's wrong or anything, it's just simpler (and Microsoft's recommendation) to keep them all on one domain controller unless there is a specific need to do otherwise. Secondly, which server(s) is/are your DHCP server? Another server right? Not one of the domain controllers? Thirdly, what is your requirement for WINS, out of interest? To answer your questions, yes the DNS/WINS services on the remaining domain controller should have fulfilled client requests, so I would certainly look into why that didn't happen. Did anyone try rebooting their PCs, as that may have helped? If you had been unable to get Server1 running again then yes you would have had to seize the domain-wide FSMO roles (RIP) from Server1 on to Server2 and modify your DNS/WINS. But don't try and bring Server1 back up at this point (Then work on getting Server1 running again, or replacing it.), you must rebuild or replace it.

Hi Mark, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Firstly why have you split the FSMO roles out on to two different domain controllers? It's not that it's wrong or anything, it's just simpler (and Microsoft's recommendation) to keep them all on one domain controller unless there is a specific need to do otherwise. Secondly, which server(s) is/are your DHCP server? Another server right? Not one of the domain controllers? Thirdly, what is your requirement for WINS, out of interest? To answer your questions, yes the DNS/WINS services on the remaining domain controller should have fulfilled client requests, so I would certainly look into why that didn't happen.

You could equally say the same about c.h.o.u.s.e.m@gmail.com , ch.ou.s...e.m.@gmail.com, you get the idea. They also ignore anything after a plus symbol [ + ], therefore c.h.o.u.s.e.m.a.n+anything_you_like_in_h...@gmail.comc.h.o.u.s.e.m.a.n%2banything_you_like_in_h...@gmail.comequally goes the same way. Feel free to try the above and see if it works. I hope this helps. Andrew On 11 February 2010 06:25, Carl Houseman c.house...@gmail.com wrote: OK, this seems very weird to me. For some time, mail addressed to chouse...@gmail.com has been delivered to my c.house...@gmail.com mailbox. I thought, at some point, I created the chouseman mailbox and configured forwarding. But I couldn't sign in to Google with the chouseman address and no attempts to use their automatic password reset worked. About 3 months ago I went the distance trying to reset the password, using the last resort method several times. Each time I received an automatic message telling me I should be able to access the account, but of course, I never could. And then today this comes in: From: accounts-nore...@google.com [mailto:accounts-nore...@google.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 3:55 PM To: chouse...@gmail.com Subject: Google Username Assistance We searched our database but we were unable to find any usernames associated with your email address chouse...@gmail.com. snipped instructions for accessing my account, which apparently doesn't exist So the takeaway from that message is what, exactly? There's no username, therefore there is no account associated with chouse...@gmail.com? And nonetheless, I have to keep receiving e-mail for that address? I don't see where a Google account can have multiple e-mail addresses tied to it as Exchange can, but apparently that's what has happened? It's crap like this that will keep me from ever recommending cloud services from Google.

Re: Had to share this...
We recently ordered a Cisco ASA appliance and the very next day a huge box was delivered which contained only a power cable. The ASA itself arrived in a *smaller *box the next day. I asked the sales rep about this and it turns out that all Cisco equipment ships with only an American power plug so if purchased outside the States, the power cable is ordered and shipped separately.

By default computers that are members of a Windows 2003 domain change their machine account passwords every 30 days.

Will this prevent domain users from logging into the PC? I’m pretty sure the answer is yes, but wanting verification.

Re: OT: can't get BB to initalize to BES
Hi Dave,
This is one of the joys of BlackBerries, I'm afraid. It's not unusual to
have this situation. Because of the many things that can go wrong during
activation, these things can happen. What I would do is this:
- delete the user from BlackBerry Enterprise Server
- on the handset, go to Options, Security Options, General Settings, Wipe
Handheld
- reboot the BlackBerry Enterprise Server server hardware or at least
restart the BlackBerry services in services.msc
- recreate the user on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and set activation
password rather than generate and email password.
This normally does the trick for us when this happens.
Good luck!
Andrew

Is the activation message (not the password message) ever showing up in
the inbox? Are you setting the pw or autogenerating it?

I am still new at this BES thing. My first two phones activated just fine
but I have one that sits at initalizing on both the phone and server sides.
I have tried both the wireless and wired/usb methods. I have also removed
the activation and recreated the user. Still no luck.
This phone is about 6 months old and it did upgrade a bunch of apps when I
hooked it up to the usb cable.
Anyone with some insights to get this phone activated?

Re: OT: Getting back into IT
Hi Philip, I can help you with your online Cisco discussion group: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/community/certifications Certainly helped me when I was studying for the CCNA. As regards how far to go with Microsoft or Cisco certification, it's up to you, your mileage may vary etc. I know some great people who have never taken a vendor exam and I know some people who studied very hard for exams but have no real knowledge or skills to speak of. Not sure that helps. I know others will have plenty to say about that and your other questions... Regards, Andrew 2009/12/21 Philip Brothwell philip.brothw...@gmail.com Hi, Sorry for the off topic (if it is) post. I am getting back into IT full time after doing it as a secondary job for a decade or so and I have a number of questions. My goal is to get the skills necessary to become a modern Systems Admin and/or Network Admin in the SMB market. I currently have both the MCSA and MCSE for Windows 2000 and a Cisco CCENT. I plan on updating the Microsoft certifications to their modern counter parts and to take the Cisco certificate to at least to CCNA. Now the questions. - Any recommendations for a good online Cisco discussion group? - For my target job, how high should I go in the Microsoft and Cisco certification tracks? - Other certifications? - Recommendations for training sources? - Recommendations for lab equipment? I'm thinking a virtual server farm but real Cisco equipment. Question is, which Cisco equipment. I already have a 871W that I got for the CCENT but it hurt as much as it helped -- integrated routers have command sets that are similar, but different, from their non-integrated counterparts -- so I'm looking for other equipment to train with. Any suggestions? - Is TechNet still the best way to Microsoft lab software on the cheap? I think that covers it, at least for now. :-) Any help you be greatly appreciated!

Re: OT: Cisco ASA and NAT
Hi Jason, We just recently got a Cisco ASA 5505 and I remember having a few joyous configuration opportunities with it. Could I ask you to post your running-config here please? (obviously mask / delete any public IP addresses, passwords, etc). I'm sure it's likely a very small configuration error either with the NAT rules, the ACLs or maybe even somewhere else. A fresh pair of eyes can't hurt. Regards, Andrew 2009/12/21 Jason Morris jmor...@mjmc.com Yes I have verified it’s not a DNS problem. No I can’t ping/traceroute out when statically natted. But the second I remove the static nat rule, I can without having to clear xlate/local/arp. I have verified I’m using the correct public and private IP addresses. The static rule exactly matches all the other rules that work fine.

Hopefully someone here has run across it. We’re running a Cisco ASA for a firewall. On DMZ1 we have a bunch of servers. A bunch of those servers have static nat translations to public IP addresses. Then we have access-lists controlling what ports are open on each of the static addresses. IE: web/pop/smtp. I have a global rule set on DMZ1 stating if something doesn’t have a static translation, give it the address of the external interface. I have a new mail server we’ve been running in the DMZ for awhile. It works fine without a static NAT translation on it…minus the fact I can’t connect to OWA. As soon as I add a static translation to it, it stops browsing the Internet and the queues sending out stop. My static looks like this: Static (DMZ1,OUTSIDE) 1.1.1.1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 I’ve cleared the xlate table and local tables hoping it was just an ARP issue. I’ve rebooted the ASA with the static command active so it would take it on reboot and still no luck. The server is 2008 Enterprise with multiple interfaces and I’m stuck. L I have verified the routing table is ok to send all traffic destined for 0.0.0.0 to the proper ASA gateway. -- Jason Morris MJMC, Inc.

Re: MP3 players!
Hi Glen, I won a Creative Zen Vision M 30GBhttp://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zenvisionm/about 5 years ago and have never had any problems with it at all. There's plenty of room to put my favourite music on and I can always swap music to and from an external hard drive. The Windows driver support is excellent as is the Creative support website. In that time many of my friends have been through about 3 different models of iPod or other similar Sony models. Aside from the fact that I won it, I've done very well with this and I know a couple of other people who paid for theirs and are also still enjoying their Zen. Highly recommended. I'm sure there are larger capacities available in the series now, too. Regards, Andrew 2009/12/15 Glen Johnson gjohn...@vhcc.edu Humm. I’ve owned 3 and never had to reformat any of them. When you re-format, are you formatting NTFS or FAT. I’m thinking there may be an issued with 2gig and FAT. Also, are you using the computer to reformat or a menu/utility on the device? Might be an issue. I think you’ve just proven the old adage, “You get what you pay for”. Buy cheap Chinese mp3 player, don’t expect a Cadillac.

Sorry about this rant, but I’m frustrated! I can’t seem to keep an MP3 player that works for any amount of time! I keep killing them! I just bought a new touch-screen MP3 player off eBay and it arrived last week. Today, I went to add some songs to it, and it wouldn’t finish “booting” up. My last one I cracked the LCD display. The one previous to that fell out of my jacket pocket onto the kitchen floor. Despite no obvious signs of damage it wouldn’t boot up. And so it goes! Also, if I try to put more than about 2 Gb of music on an MP3 player, it corrupts the file system and I have to reformat it and reload it! Is there such a thing as a MP3 player that just works and doesn’t break if you look at it wrong? Or am I just cursed by cheap Chinese MP3 players??? Any recommendations for an MP3 player that won’t break if I look at it wrong or corrupt if I try to put too many songs on it???

Re: I don't normally do this, but...
Kurt, thanks very much for this. I haven't got time to look at this right away as I am studying for an Exchange 2007 exam tomorrow, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing this. This is what we're all signed up here for, sharing knowledge. Soon we will all have strong traceroute-fu..! Regards, Andrew 2009/11/13 Kurt Buff kurt.b...@gmail.com An excellent post, and well worth the understanding. I am a member of SAGE and USENIX, BTW, and highly recommend the orgs, even if you can't attend their functions. Kurt -- Forwarded message -- From: Brent Chapman Date: Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 10:56 Subject: [SAGE] So you think you know traceroute... To: sage-memb...@sage.org Most network engineers and sysadmins would probably say that they're intimately familiar with 'traceroute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceroute', and consider it one of their fundamental network troubleshooting tools... I certainly do. But you might be amazed to learn, as I did, how much you * don't* know about traceroute. Richard Steenbergen of nLayer Communications, Inc., did an *excellent* presentation on traceroute http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/RAS_Traceroute_N47_Sun.pdf at this month's NANOG http://www.nanog.org/ (North American Network Operators Group) meeting: - A Practical Guide to (Correctly) Troubleshooting with Traceroute http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/RAS_Traceroute_N47_Sun.pdf , by Richard A. Steenbergenhttp://www.linkedin.com/pub/richard-steenbergen/0/8b/398 of nLayer Communications http://www.nlayer.net/. Among other things, this presentation shows you: - How traceroute works - What you can learn from the DNS hostnames returned by traceroute - Where the ISP/carrier boundaries are - Where the equipment is located, geographically (do you know what a CLLI code is?) - What type of equipment the ISP/carrier is using - What the round trip times reported by traceroute *really* mean - How you can be led astray by ICMP prioritization, rate limiting, asymmetric paths, and load balancing One of the coolest tricks I learned from this presentation is, to find out more about what's at the other end of some hop that appears to be a point-to-point link, assume that the IP address you see is one of the two addresses in a /30 subnet (as is commonly assigned to point-to-point links), and do a DNS reverse lookup of the other address in the /30. This is useful, for example, in figuring out which egress port a packet went out on, since traceroute normally only shows you the ingress ports for each device along the way. For example, let's say I was looking at the following traceroute output, and wanted to know the egress port on router #3, as the packet moved to router #4: *brent%* traceroute www.google.com traceroute: Warning: www.google.com has multiple addresses; using 208.67.219.230 traceroute to google.navigation.opendns.com (208.67.219.230), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 3.145 ms 2.573 ms 2.382 ms 2 75-101-29-1.dsl.static.sonic.net (75.101.29.1) 9.555 ms 9.054 ms 9.089 ms 3 127.at-X-X-X.gw3.200p-sf.sonic.net (208.106.96.193) 9.510 ms 9.871 ms 9.194 ms 4 200.ge-0-1-0.gw.equinix-sj.sonic.net (64.142.0.210) 11.965 ms 11.870 ms 11.839 ms 5 0.as0.gw2.equinix-sj.sonic.net (64.142.0.150) 11.928 ms 12.519 ms 12.394 ms 6 GigabitEthernet3-1.GW2.SJC7.ALTER.NET (157.130.194.17) 11.360 ms 16.257 ms 11.268 ms 7 0.so-0-0-1.XL4.SJC7.ALTER.NET (152.63.51.50) 11.729 ms 11.679 ms 11.403 ms 8 0.so-7-0-0.XL2.PAO1.ALTER.NET (152.63.113.21) 14.775 ms 17.455 ms 0.so-5-0-0.XL2.PAO1.ALTER.NET (152.63.48.9) 15.548 ms 9 POS7-0.GW6.PAO1.ALTER.NET (152.63.55.14) 12.886 ms 13.143 ms 13.029 ms 10 65.203.37.46 (65.203.37.46) 13.517 ms 14.708 ms 16.566 ms 11 * * * 12 * * * ^C To find out more about router #3's egress port, I look at the IP address for router #4 (64.142.0.210), figure out what would be the other IP address in the same /30 (64.142.0.209; hint: the lower address in a /30 pair always ends in an odd number, and the higher address always ends in an even number, so if the address you know ends in an odd number, the other address in the same /30 is going to be the next *higher* number, and if the address you know is even, the other is going to be the next *lower* number), and do a DNS reverse lookup of that address: *brent%* dig -x 64.142.0.209 ; DiG 9.4.3-P3 -x 64.142.0.209 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 49382 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;209.0.142.64.in-addr.arpa.

Re: HP to acquire 3com

Re: R: New DHCP scope
In this instance you should set reservation or class options, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc958929.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc958929.aspxHave a look at that and if you need any more help then come back to us. But I would urge you to go this route rather than a second DHCP server for two reasons (1) the KISS principle and (2) when your successor comes and sees what you did, you want them to think you were the greatest sys admin that ever walked the earth, right?

Re: Large File transfer

User who doesn't like logging off / shutting down
Hi, I've got a user who doesn't want to log off let alone shut down their computer. They claim that it takes too long and they haven't got time to wait to log on again or start up. They're important enough that I can't force them to do so, but I'm worried about possible problems. The only detrimental effects that I can think of are added power consumption and ticket expiration. Can anybody else think of any other pitfalls or even have any experience of this and how did you deal with it?

Re: User who doesn't like logging off / shutting down
Ah a misunderstanding on my part, I didn't realise that Kerberos renewed tickets automatically. So my only real point is the power consumption. I just want them to do what everyone else manages to do which is turn off at night. 2009/10/22 Michael B. Smith mich...@owa.smithcons.com I ASSume you push patches. He/she may lose whatever they were working on when a patch session forces a reboot.

Re: User who doesn't like logging off / shutting down
Thanks for all the input, serious or otherwise. Good point about power management, that will address the power consumption issue. I will look into that. So, I'm still left with the software updates and deployments, which require restarts. They do lock their workstation, luckily. Maybe you're right, Ben, maybe I've got better things to worry about. Anyway, case closed. I'll look into power management and I won't be forcing shutdowns / installing pron / sending emails to the CEO! Thanks guys, Andrew 2009/10/22 Mike Gill lis...@canbyfoursquare.com Locking the workstation doesn’t address software updates or deployments being missed, among other things. Andrew should look into why it takes the computer so long to log in that someone would complain. My 3+ year old Dell desktop takes 5 seconds or a little more to be at a useable desktop in Vista. He could also tell her she at least needs to log out on the weekends, or restart the computer as she leaves on Friday.
