RE: OTish? - Building a home lab from scratch
From the OP: I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I'm probably one of the few tech heads out there that doesn't have a home lab setup Why be ashamed? Is someone questioning your skill set or dedication because you don't have a home lab setup? I'm not ashamed at all that I don't have one setup. At the moment, one of my workstations at home cannot connect to the WWW and I could care less, quite frankly. As long as one in my house can, great. The last thing I want to do in my free time is work on computers at home, or anywhere else for that matter, unless necessary. As long as I have a test environment at my place of employment, I'm all set. No need to burn out outside of work, gotta have outside interests/hobbies.

From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:k...@adopenstatic.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 7:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OTish? - Building a home lab from scratch You don't really need CPU power. You need RAM to cater for your VMs. You need a decent disk subsystem unless you want everything to crawl. My home setup is a Dell PowerEdge (a low end model). It's a quad core CPU, but barely uses anything, so don't worry too much about this part. It has 12GB of RAM in it. I think most high end consumer boards will support 16+ GB of RAM, so I'd look for something like that. Exchange 2010 or MOSS 2010 would be 2GB VMs. SCOM would also be. So factor getting a board that gives you up to 16GB of RAM (or at least 8 as a minimum). Disk is the next thing to focus on. If you want to run all of these OSes off one or two disks, things will crawl. Either get multiple SATS disks and put them into a RAID array -or- consider getting a couple of SSDs for the most disk I/O intensive VMs. I bought 2 x 120GB SSDs for my home server, and keep 2 x 2TB regular drives. The 2TB drives hold the VHDs for Windows Home Server, the VHD for WSUS patch storage and other bulk storage. But the SSDs hold everything that doesn't require a lot of space (e.g. Forefront TMG, Exchange 2010). Brian's suggestion of getting something like a Precision or low-end PowerEdge (or even an XPS) from the outlet store is a good one.

I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I'm probably one of the few tech heads out there that doesn't have a home lab setup, and I think it's about time that I change that. We've had numerous discussions on this list about home vmware setups and personal SANs etc, and I'd like to hear some suggestions on what I should start with, mistakes to avoid, etc. I'm on a budget - I don't have thousands to spend, but I've got to start somewhere. Here's what I've got right now that is potentially useable (I'm not set on using this stuff, but right now it is just collecting dust): * 3 or 4 old Dell Optiplex desktops (one MT form factor, and 2 desktop form factor) with P4 procs and a couple Gigs of RAM * Broadband Cable connection @ 10 Mbps * (my wireless router just recently died) * 2 free standing two post 7 foot racks (that I was thinking about tying together to make a 4 post rack) I'd like to focus on Windows Server 2003/2008 Powershell. Exchange, Sharepoint, and SCCM are of particular interest, and so is vmware (I will probably want to play with Hyper-V, but don't have much need for it.) Ultimately, I'd like to include some Cisco as well, as I have a good (albeit basic) Cisco background with PIXes, ASAs, and Catalyst switches. Oh yeah, and Linux too... Finally, I'd also be interested in suggestions for how to [legally] obtain MS licensing on the cheap if that's possible - 120 day evals aren't really going to cut it. Action Pack? MSDN?

RE: Recommendation for new server (or two)
We have a quad-core blade handling both VCenter and CommVault. Our environment is 100+ VMs and about 4TB of data. There's not a lot of backups going on during the day when we are managing VMs, but we always try to over engineer servers a little, if possible.

I plan on continuing my search on this issue (as well as contacting the VMUser group forum), but as this group generally has somebody giving a quick AND USEFUL response, I thought I'd post here... = Currently, we have an old PE-850 with one Pentium III, 1.266 GHz and 3 Gb RAM. It runs two applications... UltraBac backup software (and it feeds a Quantum PX-502 tape library) VMware vCenter 2.5 We are looking to replace the PX-502. The library at which we are looking requires an external SAS port. Given the nature of the slots on the PE (regular, circa 2003 PCI slots), we've been told it is difficult to find a SAS adapter for these slots. Consequently (and also due to its age), we are now server shopping. vCenter functions would be for management only. However, we will need to go to VMWare products 4.1 and beyond (ESX would be on other host servers). Specific questions: 1. Would it be a mistake to continue to use a single server for both vCenter management and for running network-wide backups to the local tape library? In other words, should we replace the PE-850 with two servers instead? 2. For the vCenter, what would be an optimal minimum for CPU? That is, how many cores in how many processors? (That is, single quad, dual quad, single single core, etc)? We can't really shoot the moon on this as we do have a limited budget for this. Thanks! -- Richard D.

While what I make is nothing to sneeze at, physicians make more - even first year non-shareholder general practice physicians right out of residency make more (here anyway) than I do. Let's not even talk about specialists. While I know that money certainly isn't everything, it is a motivating factor much of the time.

I've brought a cheesecake (that I made) three years in a row. It is always the most stolen gift[1], and people have been eyeing me to see which gift I bring. The wrapped object is a certificate/photo of said cheescake, which is housed at a secure location until the end of the exchange to prevent a cheescake fight. Although, this year it might be entertaining to see if a fight ensues... This year's cheesecake will be a vanilla chocolate swirl on a brownie crust. [1] One year someone brought a six pack of some beer which was stolen the max number of times, the final one was by me. It was tasty, but the brand escapes me now...

We have a parent-child domain structure. We have a VM DC in each domain. So I made copies of one of each, and separated them onto an isolated subnet. Then I seized all the FSMO roles. All that is pretty much what I would do in a D/R situation. And it all worked - each server is showing the correct values when listing role holders. Each VM is Win2003 R2, BTW, with SP2. Forest and domain levels are Win2003. Before I upgrade the domains to Win2008, I need to remove the references to the other DCs, which will never exist anymore in this isolated testing environment. And I was going to do it this way: How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain controller demotion - KB 216498 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498 which shows you how to delete DCs using NTDSUTIL, and the metadata cleanup command, and which DNS records to delete. Is this the best set of steps to follow? I ask because there's also KB 555846, How to remove completely orphaned Domain Controller http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555846. But this gives no step-by-step instructions. For example, it says Remove old computer account by using Active Directory Sites and Services tool. But you can't just delete the server entries in Sites and Services; it won't let you just hilight the server, and hit delete. So should I follow 216498 to remove those orphaned servers, or something else? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

RE: Home Folder Permissions reset
Yes, I was talking NTFS perms. For new users here, we map their home drives using AD, which automagically gives them Full Perms to this folder. We've never ran into any issues doing it this way and don't see a need to change it up, for fear of the user messing with their folder.

Each admin has to decide whether they want their users to have full control to their individual user folders (business may also dictate). Yes, full control would allow them to change the permissions on his/her folder, including removing the local admin group. From my experience, I usually do the following for the NTFS permissions: -For the top-level Homes folder (we call it Users), we usually just do domain users - read/list folder contents plus administrators - full control -for the individual user folders, I do administrators - full control and the individual user - modify. I also remove any inherited permissions when the folder is originally created, including Creator/Owner. Regarding share permissions, everyone has a different opinion on this. Some go the route of just leaving the share permissions at Everyone - Full Control and restricting permissions using the NTFS permissions. Some go a step further and restrict both Share and NTFS permissions. The thing to keep in mind is that when combining Share and NTFS permissions, the most restrictive always wins. So if Share permissions are set to Everyone - Full Control, and NTFS permissions for a certain group are set to read only, members of that group (assuming they don't have explicit permissions or are not members of another group that has more permissions) would have read only access. As for SYSTEM, I did some researching on this a while back, and found that for a volume containing only files/folders, it does not appear to be necessary. We have removed it from our data volumes without noticing any issues at all. HTH, James -Original Message- From: Matthew W.

They are both great for relatively simple - or not so simple - backups. The beauty of LiveSync is that it will let you link folders of various PCs via the Internet and it will then move files as needed to keep all the folders on all the PCs in sync - and it is fast.It appears that neither SyncBack or SyncToy can do this without access to an FTP server. Am I reading this right for SyncBack and SyncToy? I suppose I could use SyncBack or SyncToy if I were to map drives on the various PCs through Hamachi, but that's a bit spotty.I've done something similar in the past with a VPN server and SecondCopy, but it's tedious and seems to suck up a lot of bandwidth.

RE: Opinions on Netbooks...
I bought an HP Mini last year as a family Xmas present, more for the kids than for the wife and myself. Overall it's decent for what it's used for, which is mainly WWW surfing. I did upgrade the RAM to 2GB and upgraded Windows 7 to Ultimate. Word has been run on it a few times and it's not bad. But, when you factor in the cost of an external DVD drive on top of everything already mentioned, you're fairly close to buying a low-end full-size laptop.

Ross [mailto:mr...@ephrataschools.org] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 6:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Opinions on Netbooks... Hey list, I'm curious if any of you have experience with a variety of netbooks. I'm considering the purchase of one as my mobile troubleshooting workstation, such as IP-Camera configuration, Network Device configuration (over local serial port), etc. Here's my questions: I don't think I'll be needing much CPU power, but I'm curious if anybody noticed a speciffic level of processor that is too slow or start to feel functional. For example, will an old N230 work without unbearable sluggishness? What about the AMD Neo's? I plan on running Windows 7. Second, I'm weary of the 1024x600 screens that come on most netbooks. the 10 screen physical size isn't a problem, but do you often run out of screen real-estate with such a resolution? Maybe this one is in my head. If so, let me know. I know that you can pay extra for a 1366x768 screen, but those usually get the netbook near the $500 mark... which is what a cheap Notebook costs. Last, I dislike the Acer's flat keyboard. Any other brands have this style of keys? I want a little definition between the keys for myself, and would not want to end up with this.

I look at certs with the same view as a college degree. The majority of the content learned is not retained, but successfully completing these items does show one's ability to learn.

RE: OT: Your Friday Night Wiring p0rn
Last time I ran cables, about 3 years ago, it was for a private homeowner (multi-Million $$ house). It was about 50 data runs, 25 telecom runs and 15 or so coax. We terminated all data telecom, cable company did the coax. That was a 2-3 week job. Some of the runs were 4 stories, communicating with coworker via walkie-talkie (cell didn't work in basement location where patch panel was).

RE: W2k3 DHCP redundancy / high availability
Setup secondary as a hot spare but disable the DHCP service unless and until the primary becomes available. Use netsh dhcp server export c:\dhcpdatabase.txt all on a daily basis to ensure a valid backup of the primary, and copy that file over to the secondary as part of one scheduled task. This is kinda what we do currently. We have 2 other AD Controllers in the same Site as our DHCP server that we would just configure DHCP on and restore the backup to it.

You might want to change this to say 2-3 days which will enable you to fix the original problem if there is one. From: Raper, Jonathan - Eagle [mailto:jra...@eaglemds.com] Sent: 09 September 2010 22:55 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: W2k3 DHCP redundancy / high availability Ok, here goes... Present environment - pure Windows 2003 AD, with two DCs. One is virtual (vmware esx 3.5), 2003 Enterprise Edition. The other is physical, 2003 Standard Edition (not sure why - I didn't set it up). Virtual DC is running DHCP for our entire organization, and would be a pain to go through and setup split scopes (many sites, multiple vlans per site, and thus, multiple DHCP scopes for each site.) A year ago, we were using Cisco devices at each remote site to handle DHCP for each subnet. We performed a major network overhaul and had to centralize, so here we are. I've now been tasked with building redundancy for our DHCP services. Moving to Server 2008 is not an option right now. We MAY be able to upgrade the 2003 Standard server to 2003 Enterprise, but that isn't a given just yet. Issues... Can't cluster, because of the Std Edition OS, (but even then, how would that impact AD DNS?) Can't backup from Primary and restore to Secondary, again, because of different OS (M$ says, not supported to backup from Enterprise and try to restore to Standard) As mentioned, split scopes would be a major admin pain (it wouldn't be so bad if we had 2008, since there is a wizard in 2008, but I digress) So, the way I see it, I have a couple of options... Setup secondary as a hot spare but disable the DHCP service unless and until the primary becomes available. Use netsh dhcp server export c:\dhcpdatabase.txt all on a daily basis to ensure a valid backup of the primary, and copy that file over to the secondary as part of one scheduled task. -or- Setup secondary, authorize it, configure it, turn it on, (hear me out here) and setup IP Address Conflict Resolution at the server level on both servers, and let them work it out on their own. I realize that I wouldn't have any lease synchronization, and that there is a slight risk of duplicate IP, but I can't imagine there would be much. My WAN links are solid. Also, any scope or option changes made on the primary would have to be duplicated on the secondary...administrative overhead yes, but still less than dealing with split scope, IMO. Even then, couldn't I just export from the primary after I've made changes and then import to the secondary? I know lease information is contained in the exported file...trying to decide whether or not that would be good or bad... if it wouldn't be a problem, why not take it a step further and schedule an export/import from the primary to the secondary?

RE: dcpromo 2 old W2K dc's
Are they going to be repurposed (wiped and reloaded) or just tossed? If so, I would just leave them offline and remove any references to them in the current AD environment.

I have the 2 W2k dc's off-line right now. I want to demote both. My question is: since the W2K dc's have been off-line for a while, should I bring them on-line and then leave it be for a while so the fRS can complete or I can bring it on-line and run dc-promo right away? Note that DNS is not running on the W2K dc's; that was moved to the W2003. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
