DFS
Hi all, I am testing DFS on Windows 2003 R2 I have the following set up to simulate an intended outcome. At one 'site' I have a DC and a separate file server (F1). At another site I have a DC with the file server roll installed (F2). There is a router between the two sites, and both sites have local DHCP. I have created the DFS Root on the DC in the first site, and then set it all up so a specific folder at the same path on F1 and F2 replicate via DFS. I have a client PC who's user has their home drive mapped to a folder in the DFS tree (\\dc\home\root\%username% file:///\\dc\home\root\%25username%25 ) What I am gunning for is getting this home drive available offline, and for it to sync when the laptop connects to either site. Most of the time when I am switching between sites offline files say they have sync'd, but have not; it's basically flakey at best. I was wondering if anyone out there is using DFS specifically with home drive access as described above in mind, and if so if you can point out any gotchas I should be looking for, as this is my first crack at DFS in general.

RE: Machine cloning app
Double Take are changing their delivery model. If you are looking for a quick clone you can get a temporary license now which will provide you with enough time to replicate the full machine image online, and then fail it over.

It's an ISO that you download, burn to a blank CD and then pop into a machine to use to create an image on a server (via FTP, by the way - no proprietary transport, but no multicast, either) or copy disk-to-disk. It may not work as well as the paid-for product when you're trying to create a whole office of cloned machines, but if you need to image up a new machine quickly, this is a darn nice tool. It'll clone virtually any O/S or file system, as it does a bit-for-bit copy of the data. It can also image up just a partition.

DFS and Home Drives
Dear all, in a Windows 2003 Environment, and undergoing some infrastructure changes. Our laptop users rely heavily on synchronised offline home directories, and we will be having one office which will work as a satellite from the main data centre. We discussed the concept of simply having one file server in the satellite office, but the 'perfect world' solution is for users to sync their H drive when they are in the satellite office, and when they are in the same offices as the data centre. This got me thinking about DFS, which is not something I have played about with too much. My initial read makes it seem like it could be the ticket, but with one major doubt. With DFS Home directories would be provisioned to the satellite office, but all other functions would be done with RDP. So, if a user was out of one office or another for a long spell (which does happen) and then plugged in, their H drive would sync. If they went in to an RDP session during that sync is there a way to prevent them corrupting the sync from within the RDP session, as they would have H drive access in this session as well? Does that make sense? Any real world deployment stories of DFS for H drives crossing multiple sites would be greatly appreciated, good and bad!

RE: Vendor Question
Sort of. The citrix version of VMotion is indeed powered by a cut down version of Marathon. I had a somewhat hard time figuring out what the benefit of a full version Marathon really was at first. So, Marathon call VMotion or in Citrix parlance Xen Motion, Level 1 protection. If a server failure occurs, the virtual machines will restart elsewhere. Level 2 is the current EverRun VM offering. With this offering you do not use shared storage. The storage is mirrored between the two physical boxes. In fact so is the Memory usage, and CPU I/O. With the system up and running, if you have a network card failure on one of the physical servers Network I/O fails over to the other physical machine and is carried across to the other server on management links between the two. Typically you see one ping packet dropped in this process, and this is due to the switch having to cope with the MAC address of the physical connection changing ports, not the software itself. So perhaps a drawback is that you have to invest in ample localised storage to accommodate your VM's, but what you get is a system that will give you server uptime you won't believe. In the event of a physical server failure, the VM does have to restart on the other physical server, however it is much quicker because there is a standby ghost copy of your running VM already waiting to come out of standby, so your 'boot' time is way less than a fresh VM boot as you would see in VMotion etc. The main advantage of this solution then is that you do not have a single point of failure in terms of a shared storage unit. In the next few weeks I am told that Marathon will have a level three protection offering which will see no server restart for failure at all. Pull the plug out of one of the servers and your virtual machine will just stay up and running. They already have a product called EverRun FT that offers this level of protection, but it needs three windows licenses and costs $16000 just for the Marathon software. The EverRun VM is less than half of that and includes your Citrix Xen Server licenses. In terms of management, it is done by a web page for the Marathon side of it, and the Citrix Xen Management Console can be installed on anything Windows XP and up, so you have no single point of failure for a management console as I understand is the case in an ESX environment? What's more (and this sounds scary, but isn't if you think about it) you can configure your storage on each physical machine as one big volume with no striping or mirroring for the local RAID controller to deal with. Marathon mirrors the storage, so you don't need to worry about local RAID protection, so you get better read/write speeds as an end result. I recently installed this solution for a client, and he pointed out the Marathon as a company struck him as a group of guys that got together and made an awesome product, and then forgot to sell it lol.

Firewall Recommendations
Hi all, for the past few years we have used Watchguard Firewalls quite happily, but over the past few months the machines seem to be getting more problematic, and the problems mount with each successive firmware release. Some of the key functions that we require, over and above being a good firewall of course are below, and I am hoping you can share your opinions on what are the best and worst devices to get the job done? Features: * SSL VPN (needless to say really) * The ability to log in to an https page on the firewall: we have set the watchguard up so that it will not open ports until a user first logs in to the firewall via an https page * The ability to authenticate against active directory in the above scenario: we have a separate forest set up strictly for this purpose (allows the same firewall login across all of our sites this way) * The ability to report web traffic usage on a user by user basis, as opposed to machine IP Address * Some sort of web content filtering, both by type of file, and classic content types, such as gambling etc Many thanks in advance for any and all feedback Clayton Doige IT Project Manager CME Development Corporation T: 020 7430 5355 M: 07949 255062 E:clayton.do...@cme-net.com mailto:clayton.do...@cme-net.com W:www.cetv-net.com http://www.cetv-net.com __ This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

The other plus that EqualLogic has is the lack of adding or changing out controllers over time, with them you just add disk as you grow and the controllers are built in so they grow as the storage does.

Windows 2003 NFS V1.0
I am trying to connect a Citrix Xen 4.1 server to an HP NAS box running MS NFS 1.0 and can't get Citrix to connect. I am pretty confident it is an authentication issue, and am reading the help section regarding setting up user name mappings, but am scratching my head a little. I don't speak much Unix, well, actually, none. The settings reference an NIS Domain, and this is where I think I am coming unstuck, because I have no idea how to determine this on the Xen Server. I have looked at the host parameters to see if this is in there anywhere, and I have also tried just sticking the name and ip in there and it won't connect. So on the odd chance anyone knows anything about this and where I might be going wrong any help would be greatly appreciated J Regards Clayton Doige IT Project Manager CME Development Corporation T: 020 7430 5355 M: 07949 255062 E:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] W:www.cetv-net.com http://www.cetv-net.com __ This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

RE: DR apps
Have a look at SRO from Double Take Clayton Doige IT Project Manager CME Development Corporation T: 020 7430 5355 M: 07949 255062 E:[EMAIL PROTECTED] W:www.cetv-net.com From: Neil Standley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 December 2008 16:39 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DR apps Anyone here using Ultrabac? I’ve been testing a few different DR apps and remembered they have a “universal restore” product that allows you to restore to dissimilar hardware. The other products I’ve been testing are EMC Homebase and Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server. I also have Symantec System Recovery Server 8.5 to test as well. So far I have not been able to get Homebase to deploy a Windows OS image on to my recovery machine after 2 weeks even with help from EMC. With Acronis I’ve encountered corrupt archive errors on several occassions but have been able to restore successfully once to different hardware using that same supposedly corrupt archive file. So there is inconsistency there but at least it’s worked. Haven’t tested Symantec’s SRS, or Ultrabac yet.

SQL SuperSocketList
Sorry if this is a little off topic, just wondering if anyone has had any experience of what I am about to describe. We use Double Take to protect our various apps to a DR site, and last week we migrated an application from SQL to SQL 2005. When I went to set Double Take up to run with the new 2005 Database it threw an error up stating that the registry entry for the SuperSocketList did not match on the source and the target. Google tells me that SuperSocketList is about to be retired in SQL Server and that it is a protocol list for connectivity. Fair enough. So my guess is that in the process of restoring the SQL 2000 database to the 2005 server I restored these legacy settings which of course would not be on the DR Server. So, if anyone out there has come across this I would be grateful to know if this is something that can be ignored from a Double Take perspective, or if there is some registry hacking I need to get started on to put things right.

We fill out an agenda with what we are working on etc. The meeting lasts forever and the DBAs don't want to hear what the Network guys are doing and the techs don't want to hear what the systems guys are doing etc. etc. just awful meetings and nothing gets accomplished. We were told since we don't like the meetings and they are highly ineffective to come up with a better way to hold them. I was thinking about every 2 weeks have the CIO meet with the management in each division together so we still know what is going on with the team.

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ?
Erm, I am no Microsoft employee so not coming from a defensive point of view, but will say that there is no such thing as a secure OS, and as long as there is a will to find exploits in software, for whatever purpose, then the software will be exploited. Yes it's damn frustrating to spend 72 hours cleaning up someone's nice little bit of malware, but it's not the vendor that creates the OS that creates the malware etc. If Linux was top of the pile in terms of OS popularity then they would be the main target out there, but Linux is every bit as breakable, as is any other OS. So, if you are pitted against a collective will to find weaknesses in a product that you make for reasons of hacking, hacktivism, fraud, theft, one-upmanship, script kiddies, and the millions of other motivators for people to exploit your product, are you ever going to get it bullet proof? In a word, yes, when you stick it in a concrete bunker 20 feet underground with no internet connection, and no electricity, else, if you are the manufacturer of anything to do with code you are on a losing battle in terms of creating something that can't be broken. The only hope any vendor has is to catch something before it causes too much damage and hope the new replacement code is up to the job. If any of us could do better we would be in a different job with a hole lot more money after all...

Okay, bear with me for a moment. I just bought what I think is kind of a cool mouse... the Microsoft Arc. It's actually meant to be a portable mouse (it folds, ) but I like it for my desktop because it's lightweight and easy to grip and move. The problem is, it's not *quite* oriented correctly for me (and no, I don't mean that it likes men and I don't.) I mean that when I move the mouse what, for me, is up, it goes off to the right a bit. I seem to remember a mouse driver, or a program, or something (maybe part of PowerToys?) in the past that allowed me to move the mouse in a direction that *I* thought was up and down (it's all about me, you see) and it would then re-orient the mouse. I googled this but only found a few programs that seemed to either allow you to change the orientation by 90, 180 o 270 degrees, or a bunch of stuff meant for Linux, etc.. Any ideas?

Don't Google or use any other internet resource for your answers. 4. Have fun!! I'll post the answers when it looks like all guessing is done. Disclaimer: I didn't write this, it is from a gaming forum that I'm a member of, but I was the winner because I managed to find all the songs. The window lickers went on strike yesterday. I was too sexy for their shirts...too sexy for my shirt...but not too sexy for my Kia. And they didn't like that I wore my sunglasses at night while driving my Little Red Corvette. So they jammed to Panama and told me they were coming back to get me. One window licker pulled his tongue off of the windshield and screamed, If I had a photograph of you...there would be something to remind me... So, with a Rebel Yell I hollered back, I want more, more, more! And I will shake you all night long! So I jammed in my fast machine that I keep the motor clean, and it looks like I will be dancing with myself for awhile. This situation is spinning right 'round...like a record baby...'round, 'round. You don't mess with a missionary man! I know, I know. I hear you dudes - I need to relax and don't do it, but what if I want to go through it? The shortbusians need to know that I am the king of rock, there is none higher, and all their MC's will call me sire...and that to rock my kingdom they must use fire, cause I won't stop rock'in 'til I retire! Until then, they can listen to me on the Mexican Radio as they drive to Panama, and listen in stereo. Besides, they all wear pink and live in pink houses. I know they look pretty in pink, and I tell them all of the time dudes, what I like about you, is that you are the sultans of swing. But I wear my sunglasses at night because you freaks are blinding me with science. Chief window licker stopped the car and pulled out a sledgehammer, she is a goody two shoes, but had a look in her eyes that creeped me out. I think she was thinking about burning down the house. She came at me with pure energy, while turning Japanese. One dude turned up the radio, and chief let out a war cry. She howled, We're not gonna take! No! We ain't gonna take it anymore! She was coming so fast at me I thought, If she hits me, it will cut like a knife, and I wouldn't have the reflex to take these broken wings (I fell earlier in the day on my arms), and bang a gong and get it on. But I did notice that she was a pretty woman, and I thought, She's got legs... And as fast as she was running at me with her sledgehammer, I also thought, And she knows how to use them... In conclusion, I grabbed the little mite, unleashed some TNT on her, and said, I will rock you like a hurricane dude! I would walk 500 miles on your forehead and toss you under the last train to Clarksville! You are now loosing your religion and there ain't no sunshine when she's gone, there ain't no mountain high enough for you to be safe! Ya dig, der kommisar? So they turned and went their way, and I my way. we crossed a bridge over troubled waters and will get back to normal soon. Man, everybody wants to rule the world, they want to be their own personal Jesus. We took one last look at each other I, as I smiled at her, I said, Hey chief, good girls don't...got it.

Odd home drive issue
All, wondering if someone can steer me right on an odd issue with home drive mappings in W2K3 SP2. We recently migrated all users home drive data to a new file server. In updating the AD accounts we selected all users with a home drive on the old server and entered \\server\share\%username% file:///\\server\share\%25username%25 Visual inspection in AD shows that these settings mapped correctly, but when a user opens the home drive in My Computer it opens the root of the share. Would the multiple select and edit have caused this, or has something else happened that anyone might have experienced. Thanks in advance.

I think it's the network engineers toolkit, we got it 995 US$, last time I checked this was $1350 methinks, but as you have probably seem you get a lot more than just band width monitoring, so I guess it depends on if you can benefit from all of the other bits that are in there.

Deploying USB thermal printers that have some very funky drivers on XP Pro SP2 or 3. I've got the install procedure worked out and printer functions as needed. However, if you plug the printer into another USB port than where originally installed, it prompts for drivers. Upon completion of install there are two printers installed. I realize that this is probably by design but I want to prevent this, as very non-technical people will be plugging in these printers and I don't need the headaches of the hundreds of phone calls. Bottom line, I just want these printers to work when they are plugged in and only show up once in the printers container. Merry Friday to all and to all a good day.

OT? HP Server Boot Issue
Dear all, hoping someone out there might have run across this. I have a couple of identical systems on a burn test for about three weeks now, and everything has been fine up until today L Prior to today rebooting the systems has not been a problem, however today when I try to boot the boxes they hang in POST after the first SCSI controller initialises. The boxes are HP DL 360 G5, bios P58. The onboard SCSI controller is a p400i, and then an additional p600 controller has been installed to host an attached MSA 50. The configuration is identical in both machines as is the problem. Trying the basics here of course, but wondering if anyone has seen this and what they did to get round it?

Testing a VM Environment Through a Firewall (OT?)
Hi all, I have a test environment in VMWare running on a Windows Vista Box. The Windows Vista NIC is in the DMZ and has an IP of 10.1.0.10. I have an ISA Server running in VMWare using Bridged Networking with an IP of 10.1.0.221. The Windows Vista Firewall is disabled. The Main Firewall has a NAT to allow the public IP to 10.1.0.221. When I attempt to connect on the appropriate port for the rule, it says denied on the main firewall and references ARP.
