RE: Printing from Web apps under Windows Server 2008R2 & IIS7.5

[David L Herrick]

Did you change the application pool identity from the default? - No, added new 
additional app pool(s) for our apps & Wordpress
Loading User profile - No
Impersonation - I will say no, I have seen that setting somewhere, but can't 
find it at the moment

RE: Printing from Web apps under Windows Server 2008R2 & IIS7.5

[David L Herrick]

It is a custom application that has worked fine since 2007 under earlier 
versions of IIS (pre IIS7).
The error occurs when attempting to open the printer PDF995.

I wrote a quick and dirty in the same language (PLB) to list the available 
printers and dump the list to a file on the webserver. It does show the printer 
I want to access while running from the website.

The application generates a PDF by utilizing  PDF995. PDF995 creates a local 
printer so any application that can access the printer can create a PDF.

I alas know virtually nothing about IIS7.5. I did get all other aspects of our 
website working - a combination of Wordpress and our custom apps.

The Application pool I setup for PLB is Net frame v2.0, classic pipeline

We'd need a lot more info to have a chance at answering this, as printing / 
PDFs are not something built-in to IIS, but could certainly be a function of 
custom application code.  What have you tried as far as application pool 
settings?

Running Facsys here using FOIP on a VM.   Had fun setting it up - In all

We're a medium-ish multi-location healthcare company and we're looking to 
replace all of our POTS fax machines (100 +) with a Fax server solution. I've 
been investigating numerous vendors, most of whom I found through old posts 
here. Those posts are from 2009 and before and I'm wondering if anyone has any 
recent or long term experience with any of them.

The vendors I'm looking at include: RightFax, iFAX, FaxBack and Biscom. We're 
looking at a virtual server solution, which most appear to support, as well as 
Exchange/AD support.

We fired off an advisory e-mail to our staff about LinkedIn and recommending

guys (it was my recommendation to send it) asking why we would want to do such 
a thing since "it's not our website".

I felt the scope was sufficient and the business use adequate enough to warrant 
notifying our employees. I had folks above me agree with me (else it wouldn't 
have been sent), and the front line guys disagree. This is one of those 
judgment calls where everyone is going to handle it differently.

Did any of you guys send a note out to your staff?

That's very easy to do with the native job scheduler, and it can even be done 
via the CLI (schtasks.exe)

It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what your budget is.

Robust, 3rd party Job Schedulers can be quite expensive, especially if you need 
to have multiple responses per job outcome.

That really brings back some memories - are you referring to WinBatch, from 
Wilson WindowWare? That's what (mostly) comes up when I google for it, anyway...


What kind of licensing do you have with MSFT? I am pretty sure they bought the 
product previously known as Opalis Robot, and have integrated it into System 
Center.

Other than that, I see several alternatives, including:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3816537/using-windows-powershell-as-a-batch-scheduler
- see the response to the question

http://www.camelliasoftware.com/ - don't know how expensive it is, but worth a 
look

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_job_scheduler_software

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Scheduler - Version 2 looks especially 
promising for your purposes

I've been thinking about getting DISH for TV.  We have refused to add any extra 
Comcast services for TV.  When I originally got it, we had the basic stuff that 
came along with the cable connection - so we had a bunch of channels - 
including FX and SCI FI for a while.  Since they've went digital, we have about 
10 channels (as we only have Internet and the most "Basic" TV package we can 
get) - no boxes.  Now, they've sent us another msg telling us we had to get 
boxes just to watch TV on our older sets.  So we got 3 of those for free and 
have to put those in.

Looks like DISH has a good deal too now with Blockbuster and all their included 
stuff.

FWIW, I've had Vonage for about 4 years or so.  Originally had their unlimited 
$24.99 single line monthly plan that ended up costing about $28.00 per month 
after fees and taxes.  I called and asked if there were discounts for paying in 
bulk. They said yes so I went with a 1 year contract which put it back to about 
$25.00 per month with all the taxes and fees in there.

The catch was that they automatically renew it.  I didn't want them to, but 
they re-billed me for another year, we had a fight about it, and I had to 
settle with them for $140 for services they charged me.  So I left them, lost 
my phone number and had no service for a few months while I was shopping around 
(AT&T, Comcast package, etc.).

No one seemed to be able to come close so I went back to Vonage.  This time I 
got their basic $14.99 / month package that has about 300 minutes monthly.  
They sent me a new box and the monthly charges are about $17.00 after fees.

The fax seems to work better than it did with the old box I had which sounds 
like the QOS is on the newer hardware.  It didn't work very well with the older 
box.

I'm still trying to see about getting Comcast for the Internet, TV, and phone 
(Midwest market), but they tell me their specials are only for "NEW" customers. 
 That really blows my mind, because I've had their Internet and basic TV for 
almost 9 years.  You would think they would want to keep loyal customers and 
offer some incentives, but they don't.  The sales guy said to cancel your 
service, and then you can come back as a "new" customer.

I've done quite a bit of research on fax/modem capabilities of VOIP services.  
I was trying to find a solution that would give me a analog line at a piece of 
equipment that had a modem for tech support to dial in to.  From what I can 
tell Vonage is the only service that a fax line works well with and is somewhat 
supported.  All the others are a cr@p shoot and if you can connect 
will be flaky and almost unusable speeds.  According to what I read Vonage 
works because they do QOS on the device itself.

Is this possible?  If so, how?

I used to do this all the time in Win XP so the user doesn't have to
pick tray 2 every time they want to print to tray 2.

Oggetto: Adobe Reader 10.1 Woes (9.4, previously)

 

Got a Windows 7 64-bit user who has a perplexing issue opening PDF files:  PDF 
files are correctly associated with Adobe Reader, and I've removed this and 
reassociated a couple times.

 

When he double-clicks a local PDF file it opens and renders fine.

 

When he double-clicks a PDF file on a mapped drive or non-local resource, Adobe 
Reader fails to open.  If I right-click a PDF and choose Adobe Reader it fails 
to open.  There are two Acro32* processes in Task Manager which have to be 
killed.  

 

However, I've been able to open PDFs on a network resource by opening Reader 
first and navigating to the file, or by right-clicking the file and browsing to 
Reader and setting it as the default program (it already is).  Then the file 
opens fine.  I

 

I pinned Reader to his start menu and if he highlights it a menu of recent PDFs 
is displayed and he and he can select even a remote PDF and it opens fine.

 

Obviously, he'd prefer to be able to to just double-click any PDF and have it 
open.

 

FoxIT isn't an option because some of the PDFs he references are encrypted and 
require Adobe Reader.

 

Any suggestions?

RE: Win 7 login problem with trust relationship error

[David L Herrick]

Had this issue with one user on my home test domain whilst testing win 7 
rollout/ I never got to the bottom of it. As I recall the account behaved fine 
if I granted admin rights. Ended up creating new user account and  blowing away 
the profile on the machine. 

Never saw the issue again

I could do that but it's a bit of a hassle between migrating her profile on 
each of the computers she uses as well as her Exchange mailbox and blackberry 
account. It might resolve the immediate problem, but I wouldn't be any closer 
to knowing what is wrong.

The thing is, I really want to understand the root cause of the issue so that 
if there is something in my environment that is causing the problem it can be 
fixed before we roll out Windows 7 to all of our users and find out this isn't 
an isolated incident.

Have you tried deleting the user and recreating her? Since, as you stated, 
other people can log on without problems, it would appear to be primarily the

I thought of that, but this seems to be affecting a specific user account on 
multiple computers, some of which are new and I know don't have duplicate 
names.  It doesn't seem reasonable t have to change the name on every win 7 
computer in the domain.

This sounds familiar.  I had an issue with a PC and it was something like 
this.  Turned out it was a duplicate name.  Try changing the name and see what 
happens.  We just changed the problem PC from something like 4097 to 4097A and 
that did it. 

>>> "Ralph Smith"  6/24/2011 9:34 AM >>>
Has anyone seen a problem like this and found an explanation / solution?

Windows 2008 domain and all Windows XP clients except for five Windows 7 
machines.
Single forest, single domain - no trusts or child domains.

One machine is a laptop we just upgraded to Win 7, and when we went to have the 
user log on to it she got this error:
"The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this 
workstation trust relationship."

The odd thing is that the IT staff and one test account can all log in to the 
machine with no errors, so it doesn't seem like it's the computer.  She has no 
trouble logging on to any windows XP clients or
2003 terminal servers, so it doesn't seem as though her user account is bad.  

She gets the same error logging on to all of the other four Win 7 machines, so 
it seems to be a combination of something with her user account and something 
about Windows 7.

On the laptop we found that if we take it off the domain, reboot, join it to 
the domain, reboot, the user can log on for a limited time and then the error 
comes back.

Also, per some advice we got from Google Tech Support, on another computer we 
used Adsiedit to change the dnshost attribute from "win7pc"
to "win7pc.domain.com", and added "win7pc.domain.com" to servicePrincipalName.  
This also was a temporary resolution.


We also found that sometimes she can successfully log in if we use the 
"usern...@domain.com" format, but sometimes that also results in the same error.

All the information I have been able to find seems to be related to issues 
involving trusts between computers in different domains or errors when joining 
a computer to a domain.  But these issues all seem to affect all users logging 
in to a computer, and don't seem to apply here.

Any ideas?  I greatly appreciate any insight someone may have.

Thanks,

Ralph

Head-busting Word issue

 






Been beating my head against a Word problem all day and thought I would

Before going down too many roads with this, what happens when you telnet to

For example:
c:\>telnet www.sunbeltsoftware.com 80

Do you get a response, or a timeout?

Everything installed fine and it found the updates correctly and it

I have setup 6 Computer Groups under All Computers no problem but when I

RE: FTP server software suggestions

[David L Herrick]

We set something similar up years ago just using IIS, its still active but I 
don't remember all the details of the top of my head  we did use a single IP 
address
Home directory  is   E:\ftpserver\ClientFTP

If you login at the  server and go to that directory you see  a directory named 
Localuser under that you see the individual client folders and the names match 
the username they login with

When they login they go directly to their folder and cannot migrate away

Does it have to be a Windows box?  

Can you run 5 different instances of FileZilla Server in 5 different VMs, each 
of which can only "see" what you want to expose?  That would certainly limit 
your exposure, although I think you'd need 5 Windows OS licenses (unless you 
ran FileZilla in WINE on Linux VMs -- it's gold-rated there: WineHQ - FileZilla 
FTP Server
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8230 ).

No personal experience with these, but this looks like it will work for 99 
euros up front and 39 euros each year:

zFTPServer 
http://www.zftpserver.com/index.php/base/downloadBuy

This old freeware standby has users and limits their access to folders, but I 
don't think it supports multiple IPs:

Hi Folks,

 

I'm looking for a fax appliance that receives faxes and forwards those
to the e-mail address assigned to the DID.  Format should be PDF.  The
system does not have to be fancy.  Basic storage for a day or two,
perhaps allow outbound faxing as well.

 

We have one program that gets about 1,000 sheets of fax a week, a bunch
of nomadic staff with no regular access to fax machines, and also
billing staff who could us this.  In total probably something with 8
ports to start but expandable.

 

I'm looking at the following:

 

Multitech fax finder

 

Ringdate fax receiver.

 

Anyone have any to suggest or comment on the above?  I could also build
a server if there are any Windows solutions (I have a Brooktrout card
here).

 

Thanks,

One of the banks that I consulted with was using it but I never asked
what it was, they included it into AD as a group and would put the
computers in the AD group and they would lock users out at 40 hours.

 

The stuff Im finding just googling is turning up all kind of parental

  Maybe.  The manual should know for sure.  As I recall, the battery
for the 3/Di is in a cartridge on the side/top of the drive cage, and
has leads to the motherboard from there.  So you can get to it by just
removing the system cover; no need to go digging.

  That said, myself, I wouldn't go fscking around with parts of my
RAID card while a system was running.  Seems like an unnecessary risk,
even if the battery is easily accessible.

  The RAID battery isn't used for config data.  It provides power to
RAID cache RAM in the event of loss of power.  That way you can have
write cache enabled without worrying about it destroying the integrity
of your journaled filesystems and databases.

  I would suggest disabling write caching on all RAID volumes (i.e.,
set to "write through") first, just to make sure the battery isn't
protecting uncommitted writes before you pull the plug.  Then turn
same back on after replacement.

> 3. Is this a fairly standard battery, or must I look for a source for

  I don't know what "fairly standard" means to you, but as I recall
it's a Ni-Cad or NiMH, with just two power leads.  It's not a "smart"
battery.  Finding the form factor might be tricky, but you might be
able to fit something else in there.

Inheriting some very problematic XP workstations with embedded applications 
that have no way of being migrated and need to be preserved. I would like to 
make a recommendation to run these as virtualized workstations on a spare 
server that I have the option of dedicating for this task. Outside of the 
hardware, what virtualization software will I need, licensing is required or 
any additional things I should consider to implement this option. If there is a 
white paper called virtualiztion for dummies that you can point me to, that 
would also be a great start. Thanks in advance...

What extra work? For the size of the install, I'll bet you dollars to
donuts that Sunbelt would come up with an automated uninstall of the
CA drek. And, I'll bet the cost savings on the purchase would be
enough to cover that effort, too.

Their pricing has been extremely aggressive, and the product is well worth it.

How 'bout our sponsor's product (VIPRE)? 

Sales is trying to undercut -er- make competitive pricing for switching
from other products.  Centralized control is great... 

Despite claims of low load, running a deep scan will pretty much make a
system unusable for the duration (but competitors will probably do the
same).

Issue: When powering up the server, shows that it is loading, gets to the grey 
screen with status messages. When it gets to 'Network Connections' there is an 
error message stating that a service or drivers did not load and to look at the 
Event View for more details. It then shows the login screen for a split second 
and then Windows performs a shutdown.

 

This happens when I try to go into Safe Mode, as well.

 

Ideas?

RE: Create Rule to notify when a daily email doesn't show in my inbox/folder

[David L Herrick]

I think the best you can do is two scripts One triggered by an outlook
rule that creates a specific file when you do receive the email and the
second that checks for the presence of said file- deletes it if it is
there, so you are set for tomorrow else emails you that it is not there

 

 

Good luck

I have several emails i get every day that notify when a job is
finished;
some of these emails come from legacy systems that don't allow much
control
for me.

Does anyone know of a method to create some type of notification in
Outlook
(probably using rules) that would allow for some extra notification if
one
of these daily emails don't get sent to me?

For instance, i receive a particular email from an email archive product
every morning at 7:30am. But if i don't receive it; i would like to
create
some kind of rule that would implement an action of my choosing (even a
script of my choosing) to notify me that i didn't receive that email
today.
This is especially useful if i'm not at a computer most of that day and
i badly need
to know about a missed job that my email archive didn't perform today.

I've probably over explained this; but i think you guys might get the
jist.

Hey Tim,

Make sure you identify all your needs before you start looking too deep.
In our case we needed the ability to have users send direct from their
email client AND to have the ability to fax out from our custom
applications (custom cover sheets, pulling numbers and names from our
ERP system OR from SQL, etc). 

We chose Faxsys from emFast.com which provides native email client fax
out (via a custom SMTP fax connector in exchange), a desktop application
for sending/managing faxes for powerusers, and a full API for our
developers to play with.  Faxsys has the ability to use analog modem
lines or an IP gateway, and requires its own server to run on.

>From the admin side we basically set it and forget about it, the service
just works.  The few times we have had to call in, tech support is very
understanding that we are not fax experts.

  This looks like a configuration issue, but try the easy test first:
Open a command prompt on the troublesome server, and run NSLOOKUP
queries explicitly against each forwarder target.  Do you get proper
results?

  You might try deleting all the forwarders, and then re-entering them.

  It almost looks like the cache entries the DNS server is pre-loading
(to enable the forwarders and root hints) are corrupt.  It's been
years, but as I recall, that stuff is kept in the registry, but can be
recreated from a file on disk.  Google "cache.dns" to see if I
remember correctly.  :)

  This looks like a configuration issue, but try the easy test first:
Open a command prompt on the troublesome server, and run NSLOOKUP
queries explicitly against each forwarder target.  Do you get proper
results?

  You might try deleting all the forwarders, and then re-entering them.

  It almost looks like the cache entries the DNS server is pre-loading
(to enable the forwarders and root hints) are corrupt.  It's been
years, but as I recall, that stuff is kept in the registry, but can be
recreated from a file on disk.  Google "cache.dns" to see if I
remember correctly.  :)

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

Getting in the lower teens for boot time on the desktop, low 20's on the

Subject: What could cause this VPN issue?

 

Hi guys,

 

I have a weird problem and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting
it.

 

I have a user that bought a new (Vista Ultimate) laptop. I am trying to
set up a VPN connection for them and have been going back and forth to
their house for the better part of the past week trying to get it
working.

 

Basically, this user connects the same way I do with my laptop at home.
Through a wireless router, out to the Internet, in through our
Netscreen, and gets authenticated via our RRAS server. All IP info is
assigned via DHCP.

 

For me, I connect via the VPN, and I can then resolve names on the
company network and attach to server drives. For him, even though he has
all the permissions needed, he can't even resolve his computer name to
connect via RAdmin. 

 

The connection to the VPN works fine and the status in Network
Connections on his laptop indicates that he is connected successfully to
the VPN, but I can't seem to get any DNS services, even though I have it
automatically configured to get all IP and general DNS info via DHCP.

 

It's just so strange... the exact same settings work for me, but not
him. Could his router be somehow blocking DNS info but allowing him to
connect to the VPN? Doesn't seem like it could. It seems like once he
establishes the tunnel, anything should be allowed within that tunnel.

 

Any thoughts on what to try?

 

Thanks,

 

Evan

I just went through this myelf.
Have you changed or altered DHCP server lately?  In our case, this
went on for perhaps years with no one noticing, since the workstations
all function properly.  You just can't see them using DNS.

See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787034.aspx

It is to early for me to state unequivocally that our problem is
cured, but it seems to be declining.  One of the computers
experiencing these symptoms I "fixed" by deleting the PTR record
(there was no host record) then doing ipconfig /release, then
rebooting.  ipconfig /registerdns had no effect -- other than to
occasionally grow a new crop of event as described.

OTOH, I have two W2K workstations that don't get A records in DNS.

Errors I have never seen before!!

[David L Herrick]

Have several XP boxes running scheduled jobs 24/7  have been stable for
years. We cannot figure out what has changed

Starts with a event view message like:

 

The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for
network adapter

with settings:

 

   Adapter Name : {E34F4C11-E89C-4A88-9D4A-631EB25F56F4}

   Host Name : NIN0036

   Primary Domain Suffix : NINCAL.COM

   DNS server list :

10.10.30.1, 10.10.30.22

   Sent update to server : 10.1.1.1

   IP Address(es) :

 10.10.30.38

 

 The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS
server failed the update request. The most likely cause of this is that
the authoritative DNS server required to process this update request has
a lock in place on the zone, probably because a zone transfer is in
progress.

 

 You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its
settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If
problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems
administrator.

 

Sometimes "ipconfig /registerdns works or a release and renew --- more
often the machine reports it cannot do it (insufficient resources or
some such) and a reboot is required

Note I have not a clue as to where the 10.1.1.1 address is coming from L

Additionally if a job was active we get something like:

 

 

Windows cannot access the file \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe for one
of the following reasons:  there is a problem with the network
connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage  drivers
installed on this computer; or the disk is missing.  Windows closed the
program plbwin.exe because of this error.

 

Program: plbwin.exe

File: \\NTS0\c\apps\plb\code\plbwin.exe

 

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.

User Action

1. Open the file again.  This situation might be a temporary problem
that corrects itself when the program runs again.

2.  If the file still cannot be accessed and

- It is on the network,  your network administrator
should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the
server can be contacted.

- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk
or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.

3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK,
click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command
prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.

4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.

5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not,
the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your
administrator or computer hardware vendor for  further assistance.

Additional Data

Error value: C09A

Disk type: 1

 

 

Thanks in advance for any clues

RE: Defrag servers

[David L Herrick]

It does have an additional module if you want to use it to defrag the
"store"  not sure about SQL and not aware of any defragger that handles
open files PD out of the box will try repeatedly to get the open files
eventually skipping them

"exchange"  is on

Well, there aren't any really 'good' machines, there are just 'slow' and

it's so much quicker than notepad.  I was just curious, and so was my
supervisor, as to whether anything recently might have caused Notedpad
to become even slower than it was before.  Video drivers haven't
changed, and Textpad works almost instantly.  Maybe MS decided to
'improve' Notepad, who knows..

What if you try copying notepad.exe from a "good" machine to a "bad"

Notepad question

 






I know, nobody ever asks a question about notepad, so this is weird.
But since we applied some windows updates this last week, notepad
functions have slowed to a crawl.  For instance, we have some folks that
have to do a find & replace operation, notepad has now started to run
quite slowly, line by line, and on a 200K text file may take an hour.
If I do the same function in Textpad, for example, the same function
happens almost instantly.  Not that it's a critical issue, but has
anyone seen that or know why it might be? 
  
Thanks,

You should create this on your own to be certain you have these very
important settings configured properly.

Modify the registry on a test system.  Verify that it is working
appropriately by testing WU/AU on it.  If you are successful in
blocking the update, export the registry settings to a .REG file and
use the REG2ADM.EXE utility to convert the settings into a .ADM

RE: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

Update 2 AMD boxes update without issue - neither one running OEM

Just got this Blue Screen on a Thinkpad T60p after installing SP3:

STOP: c139 {Entry Point Not Found} The procedure entry point
GdiGetBitmapBitSize could not be located in the dynamic link library
GDI32.dll.

 

Solution:

1. boot from a Windows CD and go for the repair option.

2. Copy gdi32.dll from c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\gdi32.dll to
c:\windows\system32\gdi32.dll. 

3. Reboot normally

Has anyone seen issues with SP3 coming through WSUS?  I have it listed
there now, but the approval is Detect Only at the moment.  Would like to
know how that avenue went/is going for some others before I approve the
update.

 

Thanks,

Subject: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

Had a couple family members call last night about SP3 killing their
machines.

They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine it
wouldn't come up.

After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there is
an issue with the WindowsUpdate

version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any other
machine until it is resolved.

They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the
correct SafeMode fix for it.

 

Didn't know what anybody else knew.

 

Good night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT works, 
but keeping IT working is the hard part.  

 

Automation is great, 
until it breaks.
