RE: Utility to Access all Registry Keys remotely
If you connect to the admin on that workstation share you can browse to the %systemroot%\system32\config folder and see all the hives. In regedit click on HKLM or HLC and the choose file-load hive, then open them from that admin share.

Enabling File and Folder Compression
Can anyone share experiences on enabling file and folder compression in Vista and whether or not the old rules apply about speeding up performance on systems by doing so? There doesn't seem to be a lot of information or real world testing talking about it. I realize the NTFS version is 3.1 still, but with features like BitLocker in Vista, I'm sure there are some underlying changes. I can't remember where I read 'way back when' that compression sped up / tweaked the system, but any links I can use to document pros/cons would be appreciated.

RE: LogMeIn
LogMeInRescue FTW for supporting remote users. Sonicwall SSL VPN Products for remote access. Using the Java or ActiveX RDP agents provide a more productive user experience than logmein free. In logmein free's defense as a security measure... I had a customer who used logmein on their systems, it was a small business. Someone stole a computer, and since LogMeIn auto connects from anywhere on the net, they were able to track the system down. Kind of a free lowjack utility. Before I worked for myself, I would have argued that software like this was not useful, but it has it's place in the SMB. The corporate compliance set forbids it, but I have found that the ultimate question is how productive your users are, and how secure are their passwords. LogMeIn is just another door to the building, another key to keep track of, so depending on the business type/model, and it's obligations for compliance, it may or may not have its place. I know lots of network admins who keep it on their servers but yell at every user that wants to use it. Sometimes productivity demands it. If you've got a user who needs to print at home to a Multifunction device to be more productive, sometimes logmein pro is the best solution, since RDP doesn't support certain printers. In these rare cases, a simple signed policy will suffice to cover your ___. It's about helping your users use technology to be more productive, not having a power trip. The company must survive tight economic times, so use all your tools to provide them ways to produce from anywhere at anytime, and you'll be a hero to your users and company management. -Original Message- From: Graeme Carstairs [mailto:loonyto...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 8:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: LogMeIn You wouldn't allow any support via logmein rescue or webec etc. Do the install through web use and then no further access type solutions?

I have a W2K Pro laptop logging onto an NT 4.0 domain. We use Kixtart for the logon script. When the machine logs onto the network locally, i.e. via ethernet connection, it works beautifully. The problem occurs when the user tries working remotely. They can start their laptop fine. They then try to use Dial Up Networking to connect to the network. This also seems to work fine, but the logon script is not executed. The biggest problem with this is drives are not being mapped. The user can browse the network however, and get to their files that way. As most of you probably know, this will be "unacceptable" to the end user. Laptops running Windows 9x also work fine in both instances. Any ideas what might be wrong? A possible workaround? Are UNC's not supported via DUN between 2000 and NT machines? EricWant to unsub?

There are a very few people that connect directly to it maybe once or twice a month. They are not users on the system. Quite frankly, I have no idea about the mechanics of how these people connect, but I assumed that IIS must have something to do with the process. I shut down IIS on Tuesday when Nimda was new. I had the patches applied to IIS, so Nimda should not have effected me anyway. Anyway, there is never any information in the IIS log files when a user connects to SQL. A user has connected during the time that I have had IIS services shut down. However, I get a constant error in the system log that says with event ID 10005 -- DCOM got error, The specified service is disabled and cannot be started attempting to start the service IISAdmin with arguments in order to run server.

Anyhow, FWIW, here's my take on the situation: trust HP more than Compaq many times over. I use them for all my major servers and printers. HP support, after youblow through the 'We assume you're an idiot so here are 40 hoops to jump through' part, is pretty decent generally. Late last year, they goofed and sent me two CPUs that had different voltages for the same NetServer and that caused some internal damage. After immediately acknowledging the mistake, they really stepped to the plate and ended up sending me every internal part to rebuild the server and a tech to do it. Would they have done it without my having a full, on-site warranty? Not sure. I do, however, remember calling tech support once and telling THEM that a new model of laptop had shipped the month before then hung up, since if I knew that much more, they couldn't tell me how to fix it... Bottom line/Summary: Most support can use some major bolstering, but until they're willing to pay a bit more for the frontline staff and internal communication, you're going to get some major headaches from talking to people whose primary job qualification was having a pulse Thus concludes my tale and cynicism for the day Gary Whitten Systems Administrator Eprise Corporation V508 661 5234 F508 661 5400 http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

Ghost and 2000
Has anyone had any experiences with Ghosting and Win2k in this scenario: I want to create a standard machine configuration for my developers with 2000. I want to have 1 image, that will work with different hardware configurations. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know it wasn't with NT, and before I dive in and just try it, I'm wondering if anyone has done or is doing this. I don't mind taking the ghost of 2000 and reconfiguring the hardware, but will it freak out if the hardware has changed? Thanks.

RE: Ghost and 2000
They are all Dell's, pretty much Optiplex and Dimensions. The motherboard will be different. I currently don't have a 2k AD setup, NT still controls my domain. I'm reading up on sysprep, and it appears that Sysprep will work with an NT controlled domain since it's mainly looking for share names for the packages. I don't know, I'm not through the whole article yet. From what I understand, the RIS features of a 2K AD environment replace the need for sysprep, correct? Anyhow, we own a copy of Norton Ghost 2001, and I'd like to use it since I've used it in the past. However, I'd like to do this the best way possible, and in a way that will work later on. I don't have an available box to test the image on right now, so that's why I'm asking. I guess I could just try it here in the near future. I'll be moving to AD soon, but for now I'm dealing with 2k clients and NT servers.

You can get a patch from MS that allows NT to see FAT32 drives, or at least there is a utility I have I got from somewhere that allows it to happen. The best option is to just install W2k. You can dual boot it if you like, or just upgrade.

I would love to be able to repartition this machine so I can add NT to this machine but I'm not sure of the best way to do this without losing the 98 setup. PartitionMagic 4.0 was initially used to setup the drives on this machine so that is available to me. Has anyone done this or seen any good documentation on how to accomplish this without losing my 98 configuration?

I wonder how many people remember the exact ip address of there routers off the top of there head. Actually, I do know my IP address for my home DSL connection. But this situation was for a client of my company that another engineer handles and I didn't have a record of it anywhere.

Obviously I don't keep that address on the top of my head as it has nothing to do with my local boxes address. Just an example.

A server or pc will take that addressing if it doesnt have a static ip address or cant get one from dhcp. Port 138 is NetBios stuff I believe (LanManger updates, stuff like that) - but others please correct me if I'm incorrect about port 138fyi Joe D. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
