When they go to start the meeting, they login and everything seems to work as normal. As the meeting is in process to start, the user receives a UAC prompt asking to enter in administrative credentials. Issue here is that the user isn't a domain admin or an admin on their laptop and can't install the update. Which in turn they can't host the meeting. Question: Is there a way to allow the user to install the updates without being prompted for admin credentials and not making them an admin on that laptop/workstation? I know that you can setup a GPO to install a MSI package, However am not sure on how to resolve this when the user is offsite and not connected to the network.

Re: Picking up file server tuning again
Late to the game (and I didn't see anything to indicate solved), but have you checked your NIC speeds? Reason I ask is that my backups suddenly went from 4 hours to 12 in a day. It drove me absolutely mental (there was a lot of developer work going on and they had made some *innocent changes*) trying to track down what happened. Turns out...for whatever reason, the NIC has spontaneously changed it's port speed from gig/full to 100/full Just a thought...

AFAICT, probably the highest-use machines on the ESXi 4.1 box are the secondary DC (no FSMO roles, but does do DNS and WINS) and the issuing CA box. It's currently a VM on what I believe to be an underpowered ESX 3.5 box - I think it's possible that it's simply starved for resources on that ESX box.

Good news. The snapshot took about 2 and a half hours, but finished
successfully. The machine powered up. I checked one location on the
file
server and a new folder added today to the share was still there.
So I think this should be a good indicator that the snapshot and server
vmdk combined successfully. If anyone with more ESXi experience thinks
I
should check some other method, please let me know.
Regarding the size of the snapshot, like I said I made a mistake and
never
deleted the snapshot when I was building the SBS. I think I created the
snaphot before I migrated some shares, so that might explain the size.
I don't typically use snapshots and thusly haven't really dug into how
they work. To be honest I had assumed a snapshot would be a static
vmdk of
that point in time, but from this experience I now know that isn't the
case.
Thanks for all the assistance guys. Really. I just had a few minutes
of
freak out when it happened. The past couple of weeks I've neglected
clients
a bit. My dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, so life was

filled with a lot of sad tasks and being there for mom.
This client has been super understanding, but I didn't want to tell this
client that I made a silly mistake and your new server is hosed.
Everything is back up and everyone at client is now asking if I can make
that happen every other Friday so they can go home early.

So...I'm guessing that A) I need to generate a CSR from the device itself for the two that I need (again guessing that I should use 2048 bit instead of 1024 bit?), B) send those CSR's to GoDaddy and wait for them to send me the Certificates, C) Install the certificates on the VPN device. I'm guessing that the certificates will be installed in the Device Certificate portion?

OT: Juniper Netscreen config issue
Good afternoon all, I have a working Juniper NS-5GT that I have used to create a VPN tunnel back to HO using an ADSL connection (I have verified that everything is functioning correctly). NowWhat I'm trying to do is put a smart hub in the mix so that if I lose an ADSL line I could put one of these in place (wi-fi connection) until the ADSL gets repaired. I've tried all sorts of configuration changes but can't get it to allow the tunnel. So here's the setup. NS-5GT IP 10.240.30.1 DHCP 10.240.30.100-110 Smart Hub IP scheme can't be changed apparently Hub IP 192.168.20.1 It will hand out DHCP addresses It does have a static internet address Setup as a gateway I've tried setting the untrust IP as 192.168.20.1 and the default route to use the public IP, setting the untrust ip as the public ippretty much all the different combinations that I could think of. As far as I know there is no filtering going on with this smart hub. It looks like it's hitting my main firewall across the Internet, but it's not going any further than telling me Phase 1: Retransmission limit has been reached. Now nothing on the two firewalls have changed so I know that the security settings DO work when I take the smarthub out and use an ADSL connection. If there is any information that I've forgotten to include, please let me know. Any ideas? TIA!

Environment: 6 host EX 4.1 U1 cluster. VM in question - Win2003 Enterprise, 32 bit My boss tells me that I need to convert this from a VM back onto a physical machine - for licensing reasons, this needs to be a physical box, apparently. So here's the big rub ... this VM is one of those mission-critical VMs. Ordinarily, what I might have done is do a sysprep of the VM, and - before shutting it down - do a full backup using EMC Networker. Then, I would do a BMR (Bare Metal Recovery) of Windows on the new physical hardware. (when doing a BMR, you install Windows and your backup client on the new hardware. Then do a full restore, using the backup client, of everything except the backup client program files). That way, after the reboot at the end of the BMR, sysprep would run, find the new disk controller drivers, etc, and not blue screen with inaccessible boot device errors. However, my boss has vetoed that idea, since we can't take any chances with the VM perhaps not working after the sysprep. If that BMR doesn't work, then I would need to turn the VM back on. and we have no guarantees that it would continue to work the same after the sysprep, etc. So my hands are tied that way. Then I thought - well, we could still do a BMR, but without the sysprep first. Just do a regular full backup, and then the BMR to the physical box. And if it fails to boot, we would (maybe) do a Windows repair installation, using the drivers for whatever disk controllers are in the physical box. Doing the BMR won't overwrite any drives that would be installed for the clean first-time Windows install, and so they'd still be there for the repair installation to find. That way, either the physical box would work, and I'd leave the VM powered off, or the physical box would fail, and I would power the VM back up. So: any hints on how I can take this VM, and put it on a new physical box, make it work .. and still get the VM to boot afterwards, in case the conversion to physical did not work? Basically, I need the reverse of the P2V converter, where - if the virtualization fails - you can still turn the physical box back on. I just need to do exactly that, but in the other direction.

Defense-in-depth is usually the only way to stay fairly safe. YMMV, etc. On 11 November 2011 12:11, Paul Hutchings paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk wrote: Our Avira Antivir license is up for renewal in a couple of months.

We use folder redirection here, and I’m trying to get a handle on which
users have the most stuff.
** **
So we have something like:
** **
x:\path\user1
x:\path\user2
x:\path\user3
** **
and so on.
** **
I’d like to look at x:\path and sort all the folders in it by size,
displaying the size in MB. So the results would be something like:
** **
x:\path\user3500 MB
x:\path\user1200 MB
x:\path\user2100 MB
** **
What’s the easiest way to do this?
** **
I’ll need specifics (e.g., don’t tell me I can do it with PS unless
you’re gonna tell me precisely how).

I was using BE2010 to backup (to tape) my Windows boxes as well as the
Unix
clients but I don't *have* to stick with this. I have a spare server
(Windows) that has a tape library attached that I could use (gigbit
backbone

I would generally prefer to do a disk-to-disk backup to the one
server, and then backup that one server to tape for offline/offsite
backups.
Email of completion status, ease of use for backup/restore.
Email is super-easy. Most scheduled things in Unix-land are kicked
off from cron, and cron automatically emails job output to the job
owner.
You will have to be more specific for ease of use. In particular,
note that easy to use and easy to learn are often inversely
proportional, and different people find different UIs easy/hard.
The most common drawbacks with a simple tar involve restores:
* tar is a sequential format. If the file you want is near the end of
the archive, it has to read through everything else first to find it.
It is simple and robust, but slow.
* Cherry-picking files during a restore can be tedious, if you don't
know the exact name. You have to list the archive to get the exact
name, then run it again to extract.

If the applications keep their files hot all the time, you will
have to find a way to get said apps to either (1) do an online backup
to separate files which you can then backup or (2) temporarily quiesce
and make consistent their files on-disk during the backup.
Am I reading correctly that with 'tar', if you wanted to exclude
directories you have to create a file and within that file list them out?
It depends on the variant of tar you're using. I'm not familiar
with the one that comes with AIX, but GNU tar supports wildcards in
its exclusions.
What I wonder is how the performance would be
doing it that way. Would it be better performance to tar on the box and
then
copy it to the windows share?
It will likely be overall faster to tar directly to the target
system. That way you're reading from a local disk and writing to the
network, once each. Doing it to local disk first would mean twice as
many read operations (once to create the tar archive, then to copy
it), and will also cause I/O contention unless you have separate
spindles (it will be writing to the same disks it's reading from).
I may have missed reading it, but is there a
way to produce a text file listing of all the files that were sucessfully
tarred?
Add the --verbose (-v) switch.
Here is an example, using GNU tar and GNU date. AIX variants may
not support all the GNU features. However, the GNU variants are
available for AIX, so if you don't already have them, get them. :)
TODAY=$(date --iso-8601)
tar --create --gzip --verbose --totals \
--file=/mnt/backupserver/${HOSTNAME}_${TODAY}.tar.gz \
--files-from=/etc/backup/include \
--exclude-from=/etc/backup/exclude \
/mnt/backupserver/${HOSTNAME}_${TODAY}.log
The first command just saves the date, in -MM-DD format. The
second command does the backup. The option switches are:
--createcreate archive (as opposed to --list, --extract,
--diff, etc.)
--gzip compress with GNU gzip (if you have more I/O than you do
CPU,
omit this for speed)
--verbose list file paths as they are written (use twice to
get file details)
--totalsprint total bytes written and performance at end
The last part of the command rewrites output to a file, so you get a
log with the file list. Significant messages (errors, etc.) will
still print to standard error, so you'll get those on the console or
in the cron job email, without being flooded with every single file
backed up.
The /etc/backup/include file could look like:
/etc/
/home/
/usr/local/
The /etc/backup/exclude file could look like:
/usr/local/tmp/
*.mp3

You get the idea.

Re: Placement and spacing of server racks
My racks are set side by side touching each other (3 racks + stand up APC UPS). I've got room to open the backs but the wall is probably 6 behind the open doors. On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 4:40 PM, John Aldrich jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.comwrote: I can’t say much about my current situation as we only have one rack. However, at a previous position, we had a **bunch** of racks literally side-by-side jammed so close together you couldn’t fit a sheet of paper between them. Of course, those racks had open bottoms with forced-air cooling coming up from the raised floor (about 6” or so off “ground” level, presumably for cabling and ventilation.) Granted these were running older servers (old Compaq Proliants – quad PII Xeons, IIRC in some of them) so the cooling might not have been as critical as it is with newer CPUs. That being said, it was almost always cold enough to hang meat in there (OK, not really.. more like about 60-65 degrees F.) ** ** YMMV.

Our server room is finally getting some badly needed upgrades (including the removal of a partial wall, more power, and a real server room cooling unit). We currently have three server racks. Once this renovation project is complete, we will be adding two fairly full server racks. We are hoping to have these upgrades keep the room adequate for another 5 years. So, depending on the recommendations of rack spacing, it may be necessary to take out another wall and expand into what is currently an office. So, the questions are: 1. How closely together do you space your server racks? That is, how much space between each rack? 2. How far out from the walls to you have them (both for air flow and for rear access)? I believe the current dimensions of the room would allow 7 racks (and we are already claiming space for 5) along one wall and with room for another 1-2 on another wall. Your recommendations may force us to re-consider.

Re: Open source monitor with Agent
Nagios has a client that will run on machines and report back to Nagios (haven't tried it on 2008 or Win 7). It allows you to monitor CPU/HDD space/RAM usage etc. On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 10:00 AM, gro...@beachcomp.com wrote: Morning folks! Hope everyone is well. I am familiar with Nagios (somewhat) and how it works but I was wondering Is there anything like Nagios that allows you to put an agent on a machine and have the machine call the server to update? The downside to Nagios is having to deal with firewall issues, so if there was something that went outbound, it would be perfect. I have looked used SpiceWorks but it just can't do what Nagios does, and not feasible to run on each workstation by itself. Thanks for your input.

Re: Password expirations
There is a free one that works pretty well. www.netwrix.com (check the freeware section). It actually emails the users to tell them...I think the default is 14 days before...it will also send you an email with all the passwords that are going to expire within that period. The only thing I had to do was block the website on our ISA server, because as much as I tell/email NOT to click on the link that the paid version enables they still do. Then I get an email from them saying hey..my password expired and the link doesn't work! So I forward off my latest email to them. HTH! Cameron On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Michael B.

Re: Printer/Print server migration from 2003 32 bit to 2008R2 64 bit
Why not just use a new name for the server? If you are using a login script, tis easy enough to change user by user...and takes the pressure off of you. Just a thought... On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 11:11 AM, Don Kuhlman drkuhl...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi folks. Happy Friday. At the new gig now and have been assigned another project which I haven't worked on before. We're migrating a 2003 32 bit Windows file/print server to 2008R2. I've never had to move printers/print servers before because we never used Windows Print servers at old j0b. My question is this - to migrate printers/print drivers from 32 bit 2003 server to 64 bit 2008R2, do you have to first put 64 bit drivers on the old server that has the 32 bit drivers, and do they have to have the exact same names as the existing 32 bit drivers in order to migrate successfully to 64 bit? Thanks! Here is the background (long) synopsis... I've been researching this since yesterday, and haven't come up with a solid answer that is clear. I've got a server migration scheduled for this weekend and the printers are a major part of it, so I'm hoping the list can point me in the right direction. I've built the new 2008 server, gave it a temporary name, etc. Plan is to ship it to the site, migrate the data, shares, permissions, and printers, then rename the old one, rename the new one to the old one's name, and be done. While tyring to do the printer piece, I used printmig to backup and restore the printers from the 32 bit box to the new 64 bit box. However, the new 2008 R2 server isn't importing or restoring any of the printers - I guess because they are all 32 bit drivers but not sure. So in my research I see that you can use Printbrm.exe on 2008 to try it, or the Print Migration features of the 2008 Print Management role. The printer migration tool is also failing - errors like 0x80070705 and 0x80070c6 are showing on that tool. I checked around and ended up on the MS Print blogs here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379557(WS.10).aspx and another site here - http://blogs.technet.com/b/print/archive/2009/08/17/print-services-migration-guide.aspx This was listed as a tip in the blog - As a best practice, you need to install a driver with the same name as the native architecture. To add the x86-based driver to the x64-based destination server, use the x86-based client to remotely open the x64-based server using Windows Explorer and navigate to the remote printer folder and add the driver. To install an x64-based driver on the x86-based source server, use the x64-based client to remotely open the x86-based server using Windows Explorer and navigate to the remote printer folder and add the driver. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Re: OT: BB Playbook
The PB doesn't just use the data package from the BB (which can browse the internet)?

I originally liked the marketing blurb about how the bridging protects documents. When the bridge is broken, nothing remains on the Playbook (think if someone walked away from the PB at Starbucks). However, I'm disappointed in how that actually works. It works by downloading documents to the SD card on the BB. We have our BES to configure encryption on all BB. We haven't found that the PB can access BB encrypted files. That may be our lack of time with it, but seems to be a weakness. We are heavy Sharepoint users. Access to internal sites is OK via the bridge browser. But I downloaded an app from the appstore that is supposed to optimize performance of Sharepoint sites to the PB. Works very well for public Sharepoint sites. However, it doesn't work over the bridge - the vendor says it is a current RIM bridge limitation. I like the multitasking, and the HDMI out. I actually like the smaller size compared to iPad. I haven't tried VPN yet. On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 2:24 PM, Cameron cameron.orl...@gmail.comwrote: Good afternoon all!

Re: Proliant RAID config question
Just as a thought...build one for grins giggles and then try and add the hot spare (I seem to recall doing something similar in the past couple of years and didn't have any problems)...worst case...you're redoing one server Cheers, Cameron On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 3:55 PM, Eric Wittenberg eric.wittenb...@gmail.comwrote: Of all the RAID controllers I've worked with (Proliant server and Dell PowerEdge) there has never been a problem adding a hotspare.

Re: Image Editing software
Wouldn't Picasa pretty much handle your needs? You don't want the files opened for editing by more than one person at a time (first person can edit, 2nd is read-only sort of thing). If they are on a share, then everyone should be able to access the latest versions? Am I missing something here?

They take tons of photos that they have to edit and tag for things such as brochures, catalogs, etc. They are about to implement Masterpiece as their Point of Sale system, but I don't know if it handles images in that way. Currently they are using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 for their editing, but Elements has a slow, cumbersome Online synchronization tool that really doesn't work very well with multiple PC's accessing centralized photo data (located in a data share on their server). But before Masterpiece can be implemented properly they need some sort of photo-editing software that not only allows them to handle large amounts of photo editing and tagging but also can support network access and sharing. I have very little experience with photo software, so I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
