Re: ALERT : NTSYSADMIN LIST MIGRATION

[Graeme Carstairs]

Here here Gene


I have been very dissatisfied with gfi before they bought sunbelt and dud
not buy or sell their products
But they bought hound dog which we used heavily
And sunbelt which we sold heavily so had no choice
But this lost debacle is further proof of how shoddy a company gfi are

Re: file limitation error

[Graeme Carstairs]

I Love how windows lets you make the files and folders have too long a path
name but then refuses to let you move them out again, cos the paths too big.

some should have fixed that a long time ago

Also how some things balk at the 256 character limit and others are quite
happy to continue past.

It seems like its a limit but not really.

Re: Tech support call from "Microsoft"

[Graeme Carstairs]

Some of Those calls in the UK are apparently from a "Legit Company" who
sell you service contracts such as £90 to fix the current problem, or £120
to cover you for the year,

One  of my friends dads spent 8 hours on the call (the company had called
back) and paid £120, and the problem he had want resolved. they called back
the next day and spent another 14 hours on his PC.

2 minutes looking at it I said its a backup and reinstall job, and fixed it
in 2 hours

He got his money back, paid by Visa, and claimed they sold services which
didnt achieve what he was told.

The selling methods are underhand and possibly illegal but this one company
did actually attempt to carry out what they had sold

But I would do a full malware and rootkit check.

Re: Networking stuff.....oo-er

[Graeme Carstairs]

We have just moved several customers who were on BT Broadband of to other
providers becasu their routers and the way they deal with static public IP's

the router gets its IP from DHCP and if you pay for static it is "passed
through" to the dynamic one"

The router then will only allow you to port forward to internal IP's if
they are DHCP assigned from the router, or you assignt hte public IP direct
to the Host and then it passes through.

The router has to hand out the IP address for it to work, or your server
say SBS has to have the public IP on its NIC.

now this causes grief and headaches incofniguring so we got the lcient to
change.

This was on the 2Wire Business Hub but If I remember correctly yhe home hub
is even more restricted, and will be expecting to assign the ip address to
any device you want acting as a destination for port forwarding.

My advise, get another router.

Re: Google Maps for iOS. Was: RE: iOS6 devices erroneously take ownership of meetings - Exchange Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

[Graeme Carstairs]

Agreed but not just on the iOS app, this is on the web page as well.

Poor. show.

And apple get their data from Tom - Tom who own teleatlas, who is who
Google get their mapping data from.

It took 6 years and 3 after me reporting it for them to get my street name
correct.

18 months, of them saying they have seen the error and are fixing it.

Its only as good as the data used.

Re: DPM licensing questions

[Graeme Carstairs]

That's the thing we are a VAR but I've never done System centre

And the disties don't seem to have a clue.
And neither do MS partner licensing team.

I thougt it would be a simple question with a simple answer but everyone
starts going in about CAKS for their users to protect them. And I'm like
but we just want to back up the servers FFS can't believe I'm gonna say
this but may end up quoting Symantec BE CPS

Thanks

Re: No more SBS

[Graeme Carstairs]

I just done a speedtest on my 3g iphone and got 135ms ping, 1.5Mbps down,
and 0.5Mbps up.

Which is fair enough its faster than some DSLs in and around Aberdeen.

But you see my point.

Re: No more SBS

[Graeme Carstairs]

There is 3G,

But 3G speeds for a single phone user are poor neve mind trying to run 10
people or more through a 3G dongle to access their e-mails, and SharePoint

Dial up is also a non started people are now getting used to sending
e-mails of any size and them appearing almost instanlty,

Someone sends a 5?MB file and everyone stops working for 15 minutes as your
dongle is maxed out, plus mobile data charges are horrendous as well.

For areas in the UK SBS with Exchange onsite is still the best
options for small businesses.

Re: No more SBS

[Graeme Carstairs]

My big problem in the UK and in Aberdeen is that the only affordable
internet service is DSL and the majority of Exchanges are not LLU, so its
BT Wholesale service, where the SLA is"we will make a best effort to fix in
a reasonable timeframe"

Now on premises SBS 2011 with Exchange links go down, you get no e-mail
from outside.

Office 365 for file and and e-mail and Sharepoint, Links go down you get no
e-mail plus cant get at the rest of your stuff either.

Backup DSL?? yeh from the same exchange on the same 50pair cable at the
cabinet, probably ont he same DSLAM even if you go to a different ISP its
still the BT wholesale service, so the chances are when DSL1 goes down the
backup one goes down too.

Get a leased line with SLA looking into £9000 plus depending on distance
and bandwidth, per year, oh you could have a server for that and not need
the leased line.

We have 5% of our Small business clients on Office 365, we did have 10% but
the 1st 2 days DSL outage and they wanted their servers back.

Cloud is only as good as the links to the cloud, and unfortunately good
reliable fast links are not cost acceptable in some parts of the world.

I know that 95% of our SBS customers will not be happy and will make the
move from Exchange to a.n. other e-mail server, and may move from MS all
together.

Re: Weird SSL issues on existing IIS6 WSS 3 site

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi Ken,

I replied that the SSL Diagnostic showed that the verisign Certs had no
private key, as did the internal corp CA issued one.
and that I believed this was because we were breaking the CCR request due
to trying to keep the site running by generating the CCR and the reapplying
the old cert.

Next step is to arrange a time with corporate to take the cert off,
generate CCR and leave the site down until I can get the new cert and
finish the request process.

Re: Weird SSL issues on existing IIS6 WSS 3 site

[Graeme Carstairs]

Ok so I need to take sit offline generate ccr and wait on corporate to
generate the cert.

I meant that the cert generated by internal CA was no use as internal
domain is company.com and was sit us on portal.oldcompany.com

Re: Weird SSL issues on existing IIS6 WSS 3 site

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi We tried the SSL Diagnositcs.

The Verisign ones have no private key, so I have passed back to corporate
to resolve this issue, along with a new CCR

I ahve a question

when you use IIS to generate a CCR, if you cancel the request on the IIS
server after the CCR has been sent to the registrar so you can install a
certificate just to get the site back working, does that invalidate the CCR
generated certs?

FYI the internal CA ones cant validate the DNS domain that the site is
accessed on.

Thanks guys

hopefully the Cert guy at corporate can resolve this.

Re: Cisco PBXs

[Graeme Carstairs]

Ok,


That will be running CME and those are beyond my level of expertise.

But what I do know about them is that if you are on an ISDN input the ISDN
has to be confiured correclty on the the ISR to match your countries ISDN
(not all ISDNS are equal)

the units we work with the UC500 series are basically a bundled ISR with
Call Manager Express (CME) and Unity Expres (CUE) running on them, and sold
as an appliance.

I know that there are specific config steps on the ISDN2 Versions and the
T1/E1 versions depending on which country you are in.

the software used to config the UC system is supposed to set the country
specific ISDN stuff up when you tell it what country you are in, but with
the ISR, the CME config will be done from CLI.

You will need someone who is trained on these units to config them via CLI,
and Cisco would suggest you get a local authorised partner to do it for you.

Your parent company in the US should have appropraitely trained staff on
board, or access to a partner who should be able to help.

Re: Cisco PBXs

[Graeme Carstairs]

hi There,

We sell and support cisco Small Business PBX systems the UC500 series adn
Business Eddition 3000 series.

With these units the basic unit is the same no matter which country, the
difference in the country code on the part code is down to the power supply
or power cable you get.


What unit is it you have and what interface are you using to connect to
the telephone network. ISDN, POTS, T1/E1 or SIP

Re: SOHO Firewall

[Graeme Carstairs]

In the uk the unit is about half the price and licensing is cheaper
And as long as you keep the software license, the unit is warranty
You get it swapped if it breaks

Re: Discovering apps that need admin privs

[Graeme Carstairs]

one of our customers uses and App, that has an SQL back end, and the front
end client stores various settings locally in an ini along with a whole
heap of files, and central files etc  on a mapped drve

This package is updated by the vendor at least once a month, and the update
has top be run on each client.

On Widnows XP no Probs login as domain admin with local admin rights and
update works.

windows 7 No probs login as domain admin with local admin rights and run up
date elevated and it works.

Windows Vista you get a pop telling you "Due to enhanced security in
Windows Vista this update has to be run as local Administrator"

Yep you actually have to login as the local administrator, no other account
the actual local administrator account, and then from there connect and map
the drive to the share, and the run the install as and elevated user.

I dont get how, it works on 7 as a user in the local admins group but in
Vista it has to be the actual local admin.


But hey the client pays us money to do this.

:)

Re: Looking for an odd item

[Graeme Carstairs]

Sorry but I may be missing something but aren't all these suggestions for
connecting a Parralel printer to a USB port on a PC.

My understanding is he was wanting to connect a USB printer to
a parallel port on a PC


I may be wrong

Re: Sophisticated Phising attempt?

[Graeme Carstairs]

we have went trhough this process with 2 of our customers and I tell you it
was a painful process.

SME tend to use largely OEM, but one client had MS Subscrptions for Office
mixed iwth OEM windows, Oem SERVERS, and other licensing for MS products,
and it took 10 resubmits of the forms and many calls to get MS to accept
that the license list was valid.

with every response from them, very very stern about unlicensed software
and and immediate requirement to be come licensed.

Even to the point of sending through order forms for 25 copies of Office
enterprise when the client only had 17 users, and were full y licensed
through the rental scheme direct with MS for Office Pro.

Its was a very frustrating process.

Re: Reverse Proxy

[Graeme Carstairs]

Pricing is going up in uk anyway

They are changing volume licensing Across the eu to euros so prices in the
uk will shoot up, as it was previously priced in $

I think there is some other major licensing changes coming with some of the
2012 server versions as well

Re: Reverse Proxy

[Graeme Carstairs]

Reading between the lines of what was said the implication was that it was
becoming one product./

When you install UAG, TMG comes along for the ride.

I think they are moving to a single firewall/gateway application.

But dont quote me and YMMV

Re: Reverse Proxy

[Graeme Carstairs]

Im involved with a large project rolling out latest version of all MS
servers, Win 2008 R2, SQL2008 R2, Exchange 2010, Lync, UAG, DA etc.

MS representatives mentioned about TMG going but UAg will be the product of
choice.

Re: Early Friday Funnny

[Graeme Carstairs]

At a previous company,

We were invited in by the FD to install web monitoring, to see who was
misusing the company internet, wasting time, that sort of thing.

What did we find on analasys,

the only recurring and actionable misuse was someone on the FD's computer,
using the Fd's login name and password, on the nights the FD worked light
cos his wife had a bridge night, searching through the local working girls
review site, and several message posted about hooing up later that evening.

needless to say, we were paid and were never invited back to do any work
for that company.

:)

Question for any SQL gurus out there

[Graeme Carstairs]

hi there,

I am trying out SQL server mirroring,

I have setup a test lab, installed SQL server 2008 R2 on 3 different
machines in the VMWare, and included in an AD domain.

Installed SQL Server as defaults, and with dedicated domain service
accounts accross all machines (they are in and AD domain)

And every time I start the mirroring process i get a 1418 error connecting
to the primary machine, when the primary machine is the one im running the
SQL management studio from.

I have followed MS technet articles, and various step by step guides, and
they dont work,

Has anyone done this successfully and willing to talk me through it or
point me to a step by step guide that works, preferably from installing the
SQL onwards.

Thanks in advance

Graeme

Re: SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Accounts during setup

[Graeme Carstairs]

I thought something like that,


The MS Page is not very helpful surprise surprise,

I will spin up a couple of VM's in my Sandbox and test it out, including
mirroring to see I fI can get that to work.

Thanks

Graeme

SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Accounts during setup

[Graeme Carstairs]

HI There,

I have been asked by our DBA to set-up a VM for each of some SQL servers on
our VMWare farm.

The SQL instances are to be used as

1  SharePoint
2  Management services such as AV, LanDesk ETc
2 Lync

Now its been a while since I installed SQL and 2008 R2 asks about a whole
heap of services and what accounts to be assigned to these.

I also beleive at some point the SharePoint and
possibly Management SQL databases will be set-up as mirrored instances


I asked the DBa and he says just go with whatevers normal.

Useful not.

So is there a standard set-up for these accounts?

Is it best to set-up a service account and have everything running under
that?

I been googling for a while but cant find anything concrete.

Thanks

Re: Disable wireless when wired connection detected

[Graeme Carstairs]

Yep Tried that.

Say for example home network, using opendns to block the kiddies from
accessing nasties, so DHCP gives out open DNS addresses.

So for me I want to have static for firewall and nat rules on my laptop,
and non open dns servers.

If I set this on the adapter, then that is the settings it uses for any
wireless network.

If I set the adapter to dynamic, and the static as an alternative, then on
home network it picks up the DHCP an voila no alternative.

I believe this is by design, as the alternative kicks in when there is no
DHCP server.

On My Iphone.

I can set

Wireless1
DHCP for IP and manual DNS.

Wireless2
DHCP all through.

Wireless3 Static.

And so on and so forth.

Who would have thought that a phone would have better networking support
than Windows

Disable wireless when wired connection detected

[Graeme Carstairs]

Yeh I Want to too.

Another thing I want to do is change ip settings based on network.

My iPhone I can have static ip on some wireless networks and dhcp on others.

Can't be done on windows at least not that I know of.

Re: Can you have all members of and OU automatically not be members of Domain users

What part of SCCM would do this?

I have a call with MS today, and I will ask them about it?

Re: Can you have all members of and OU automatically not be members of Domain users

[Graeme Carstairs]

The client is looking to decide between SC and its various modules and
landesk but if SCCM can do it I think that thats a +1000 for SCCM.

Do you know what the feature of SCCM is called so I can research and dig
out the info, I also have a conf call with MS on Monday so can ask them,
but better If I have an idea of the moule/function.


Cheers

Graeme

Re: Can you have all members of and OU automatically not be members of Domain users

[Graeme Carstairs]

We have a project in hand that the client is looking for someway to do
either of the following 2 optons for authenticating 3rd party contractors
who need access to the system.

1. An authenticaiton database and system that doesnt store the user
accounts in AD and uses an alternative user account system but still has
the capability to allow access as if it was a main AD account to file
shares, applications and even Exchange if requried.
2. A second domain for the 3rd party contractos with a trust.
3. Locked down OU, with the accounts not having domain users and was
mentioned but not decided as absolutely must have "authenticated user"
rights.

I think 3 will be the easiest to manage on going, but the client has
expressed that they would like it to be systematically controlled by the
software and not just left to the people creating accounts in case
something is missed.

Does that help :)

Re: OT - converting a VMware VM back to a physical box

[Graeme Carstairs]

We have use Platespin to migrate from P2P and P2V, and V2P before.

Nice and easy and depending on the server setup, old one stays live, until
new one starts last quick sync and new one is live, exactly as the old one
was.

Query re old server that has died and replcing it with new one (sorry for the crosspost)

[Graeme Carstairs]

Sorry for cross posting to both lists.


We have a client who had a 6 year old HP server with an Adaptec 21960i SCSI
card with 2 disks in RAID 1.

We have been hassling him to replace it for 5 of those 6 years, and this
year he finally decided to start thinking about it.

All well and good, but the server died 2 days ago.

Now we are happy that the backups are ok

The system was running OEM SBS 2003.

Of course we cannot buy that now so his new server will be OEM SBS 2011.



1. The SCSI card does not fit in and get detected by any PC or server we
currently have so we cannot bring the server up in other hardware and then
do a migration.

2. If we setup as 2011 how do we get the exchange mail data from the backup
and into Exchange 2011.

If any one has any suggestions on how to do this it would be appreciated.

Thanks

graeme

Hi Folks,

My wife has been making jewellery for a little while now, and has just

Would appreciate it if some of you could pop on and like it

Drive the like count up a bit and make it stand out a bit more.

Cheers and thanks to all you who did.

OT: Iphone headphone adapter to use with PC

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi There,

I was wondering if anyone on the list had come accross an adapter to split
an iPhone headphone (with Mic) into a standard 3.5mm headphone and 3.5 mic
jack to connect to the sound card on a PC?

Its one of those things that I'm sure someone must make, but I have been
unable to find.

Thanks

Graeme

Re: Thoughts on this pitch from Trend

[Graeme Carstairs]

Office scan was and still is great but they don't sell that for less
than100 licenses.

Worry free was and still is broken, they keep adding features and never fix it.

Do not buy is my advise

Re: Thoughts on this pitch from Trend

[Graeme Carstairs]

Yeh happened all over apart from on the sites, that had brand new over
specced servers, with brand new fast PC's with an abundance of memory but
even they exhibited a measurable slowdown.

I personally do not like any software package that at 850MB when downloaded
expands to take up 8.5GB on the server within 4 days.

And the supports advise is to switch off the new features, and leave you
with the functionality of the old version, but doesn't improve performance.

It also seriously corrupted a DFS share, and database on one site, again
there are technet articles and such that state that Trend needs to be
disabled from scanning DFS databases and shares, but that was only after teh
damage was done.

Version 4 -5 issues on upgrade, and a rapid release of 5.1 to solve them. 5
- 6 serious issues on upgrade, no fix, even 6.1 didnt solve the problems.
The only fix was complete removal, and replace with a different product.

I have raised the issues with Trend, and told them we were stopping selling
their product, and would only continue renewing existing licenses who wanted
to stay with Trend, and nothing was done.

They keep phoning every couple of months, to see why were not selling and I
keep telling them, but they never respond, until its chase sales figures
time.

YMMV but they have seriously burnt my birdges, and indirectly cost my
company money, in fixing issues caused by their software.

Would avoid Tren Worry Free like the plague.

It killed (literally stopped servers and clients talking, due to scan
overload, and resource hogging) 4 networks when it was upgraded from 5 to 6,

Had to remove it and install vipre which made very angry clients very happy

Re: IPhone attack reveals passwords in six minutes

[Graeme Carstairs]

Yeh but remember if you hook and android up to an PC, you can access their
passwords even easier than that.

You have to have physical access to the device and physical access to any
device means you can pretty much access anything any way, unless encrypted,
and as far as I am aware no phone has a fully encrypted file system..

Re: RE: 2008 Server Ran DCPROMO into existing domain and it says it completed succesfully but on reboot, NLA, Base filtering etc wont start

[Graeme Carstairs]

If I was to add that they are virualised, the probelm iwth bringing up a new
one was there was not resources left on the virtual hosts, so either more
disks/ram needed bought, or a new physical box.

They wanted the least used virtual to be promod.

Also found out that the snapshots we took before upgrade didnt work :)

And that this unit is not in the backup cycle after I was told it was :)

Re: 2008 Server Ran DCPROMO into existing domain and it says it completed succesfully but on reboot, NLA, Base filtering etc wont start

[Graeme Carstairs]

HI Jonathan,

It was running for 8 Months, with no reported errors prior to promoing, it
was decided by mgmt that it would be quick fix to an unresponsive DC on site
causing login problems.
We did recommend that it would be better to commission a new box, as DC, as
though it wasnt overloaded doing print, Symantec End point console, an
archive file dump, it would be better to set up a new box and go with that.

Guess who was proved right? Glad we had the recommendations in writing.

Never seen this happen before.

So were no wiping and then doing meta data removal, before a reinstall.

Thnaks to the list for the advise.

Graeme

Re: 2008 Server Ran DCPROMO into existing domain and it says it completed succesfully but on reboot, NLA, Base filtering etc wont start

[Graeme Carstairs]

were going to attempt to restore the C: Drive, to a previous state, metadata
clean up rejoin and leave it as is, doing its print server job, and AV
management console, then commision a new DC.


Thanks for the advice.

It was what I was thinking of doing but, wanted to check there was no way to
fix the system.

Cheers.

Graeme

Re: 2008 Server Ran DCPROMO into existing domain and it says it completed succesfully but on reboot, NLA, Base filtering etc wont start

[Graeme Carstairs]

Tried that,

It wont remove as the File replication service wont start, due to dependancy
service not being ound or being marked for deletion.

Its a pain,

Thanks

Graeme

2008 Server Ran DCPROMO into existing domain and it says it completed succesfully but on reboot, NLA, Base filtering etc wont start

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi,

I am having some serious issues with a newley promoted 2008 DC.

DCPROMO completed succesfully, and then I restarted the server, and
from there it all went wrong.


The following services wont start giving access denied errors,

Base Filering Engine
DHCP Client
Diagnostic Policy Service
Windows Time




The following give the Dependency service doesnt exist or has been marked
for Deletion.
DNS Server
File Replication Services
IKE and Auth IP
Intersite Messaging
Kerberos



Dependancy Service or Group Failed ot Start

IPSEC Policy Agent
Windows FIrewall


The NLS and NLA services also werent starting but I fixed them but the only
way I could get them to start was to give everyon full control to the reg
key, but I tried for BFE and that didnt work, and for obvious reason I dont
want that to work,.

I tried to DCPROMO it down but it would not let me as it was running domain
services.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Graeme

OT and Cross Post Latest Video of my son rocking out live

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi Lists,

Sorry to go off topic, but I posted a previous performance of my son, and
promised some people I would post when he performs again.

Here is a link to his latest performance, of East Jesus Nowhere by Greenday.

His guitar teacher is on backing guitar, another student is on Bass, and
other teacher on drums and hired in singer.

Also as he's 13, and life's such a popularity contest at that age, getting
more views than his class mate would make him well chuffed.


Enjoy,

And again apologies for my intrusion into your work, in this busy Christmas
period :)

Re: part domain migration to SBS2008

23 users and PC's.

Plus one Terminal Server, but I think we will just nix that and start again.

part domain migration to SBS2008

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi List,

We have a client who used to be one company with a 2008 AD domain
group.local

The company has now split into two parts, and on part is retaining the
server and domain for company.local.

The other part is buying new servers and went with SBS 2008.

I know you can migrate 2003 SBS fully to SBS 2008, using ADMT and various
other migration tools, by microsoft, but this ends up switching of the
previous domain controllers, and moves the whole domain to SBS2008.


We are looking to move, the user accounts, files, mail boxes and PC's only
for the users in the 2nd part, and setup and entirely new AD domain, and
Exchange infrastructure, leaving the old one intact and functioning.

Is this do-able?

Any suggestions on where to look for help, as my google fu is lacking today
and i can only find whole domain migrations.

Thanks in advance.

Graeme

Weird mapped drives error

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi There,

We have a user with and XP machine, ho is having an unusual problem.

He has several mapped drives, and most of them work but one doesnt.

say it is f: on \\server\share

You double click on F: and it give an access denied error.

If you click start and run and enter \\server\share the folder opens.

So he has permissions to access the share, the other mapped drives he uses
all work fine, just this one doesnt.

It may be nothing but the drive letter also shows up in Windows as a folder
not a drive icon, where the rest of the mapped drives show up as drive
icons.

We have tried mapping to a different letter and get the same results.

Any one got any suggestions.

I have tried google and all I can find is UNC not working when mapped drives
are.


Thanks

Graeme

Re: Office Printers

[Graeme Carstairs]

We've had no probes with xerox drivers.
Scan to e-mail just works
Scan to folder also
Scan to sharepoint is awesome

Re: I Thought Just The Toys Were Plastic

[Graeme Carstairs]

The cool thing is the papers in the UK now report internet rumour as fact
cos its on the internet, but dont say it was reported on the net, just say
"a source claims" and then the internet forums, take their rumours as fact
as its printed in the press.

Its self perpetuating nonsense.

Look at some of the QNAP SOHO NAS/SAN Boxes.

Have lot of built in software for media sharing and server capabilities, and

Re: Spam appliances/services

[Graeme Carstairs]

+10 for the Barracuda.

90% of our SPAM is blocked by reputation services, and doesnt even get to
the appliance so not using bandwidth.

Out the box it just works, and with a little tweaking you may never see SPAM
again.

The only time I personally see spam is when I decide to check the message
logs and see whats happening.


We run 28 domains on ours, filtering for our customers, and have per domain
whitelisting, blacklisting and quarantine, as well as per use for a couple
of clients.

Cant recomend them highly enough.

Re: It appears that the Symantec Virus has affected PGP already

[Graeme Carstairs]

Gotta love Symantec support.

we recently put in a client who would require Backup Exec 2010, 4 Remote
agents, 2 Echange Agents, 1 SQL agent and 4 hyper-v agents.

We installed the trial, and the backup failed constantly, with losing
communication to the tape drive.

Tape tested out with  HP L&TT no issues.

So contacted Symantec for pre-sales support for approximately  £4,000 worth
of sale.

Symantec response "You haven't bought the software or any maintenance
therefore no support."

Suffice to say we didn't buy the software and sold them DPM instead to run
off one of their old servers.

Not what the client wanted but they are happy in the end.

Re: Twitter

[Graeme Carstairs]

It only affects twitter.com

It was a XSS exploit, that loaded random pages, and now some people were
adding porn etc.

It didnt effect any API aps.

And Twitter claim they have fixed it now.

I have used restricted groups before and would be not be keen to use them on

Further discussions with the client and he revealed it was a "hypothetical"

Re: Heres a weird one - customer wants to give domain admin rights to non domain admin group members.

[Graeme Carstairs]

yeh thats what I thought.

I think they are wanting to make sure that if someone had the
admin account they couldn't set themselves up with full domain admin rights,
without having the account in the domain admin and local admin groups.

Its a security check thing, i think they are preparing to remove someone or
someone is leaving who had domain admin rights on a second admin account and
want to be sure they haven't set anything else up.

Ill check the GPO's

Heres a weird one - customer wants to give domain admin rights to non domain admin group members.

[Graeme Carstairs]

I have been asked by a customer if on their 2003 AD domain it is possible
for someone to have admin rights to the servers and not be a member of
domain admins.

and local admin groups on member servers.

Any one know if it can be done

Hi there,

I know no ones probably watching this list but if any one can provide
me with he following I would be so grateful.

Server 2003 has crashed, cant get it to boot up at all.

Managed to get access to the hard disks using a Linux live CD, and currently
transferring the data off.

But to save a huge amount of time it would be handy to get the DHCP
reservations, and the printer configuration, driver names, ports, shared
names etc

But dont know which file or files these are stored in or if they are even
readable.

TIA for any help anyone can give.

RRAS 2008 Demand Dial VPN

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi There,

I am trying to set-up a demand dial VPN from a 2008 R2 server RRAS to a SBS
2008 Server.

I can make a connection via normal VPN, and putting the exact same config
into the demand dial interface gives and error of
"An error occured during connection of the interface. A connection to the
remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the
network settings for this connection."


I have turned on full logging on the RRAS server and have looked through the
15 different logs created but can find anything but I don't know what I'm
looking for.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to look.

thanks

Graeme

Re: File transfer program suggestions request.

[Graeme Carstairs]

I have tried to use RDP via Vsat before and it was not great.

I think that transferring the file is the only workable solution, but need
to find the file transfer solution, its the keeping the file open at both
ends of the link thats the issue, as the viewing software will need to read
the file to display the data.

I am a bit dissapointed with the software vendor, as I thought they would
have been able to make a suggestion as to a transfer package to use.

Thanks

Re: File transfer program suggestions request.

[Graeme Carstairs]

We thought of RDP but dont think thats viable via sattelite link.

Initial discussions were around to servers on the same network so we were
thinking of DFS.


We think a package that can just transfer file changes without copying the
whole file, each time it changes, without locking either the source or
destination file then we should be able to achive the goal.

Netcat has been suggested but can be problematic due to AV vendors detecting
it.

Thanks for your input.

File transfer program suggestions request.

[Graeme Carstairs]

HI all,

We have a customer who is going to be operating a drilling ship and has the
following file transfer requirements and I was hoping someone on the list
could give me some suggestions.

Scenario

Ship is running a data acquisition program to log data from the well its
drilling.

The data is logged to an asii text file.

On board the ship a software package continuously reads the data to display
information about the well in real time.

The owner of the field is on shore and needs to see the same information as
the ship does, and will be using the same viewing package.

There will be a sattelite link to the internet on the vessel.

So what we require is a file transfer program that can monitor the log file
on the vessel, without locking it, and transfer deltas to a similar file on
the beach that again is not locked.

On the vessel will be windows, on the shore we are assuming windows at the
moment but it could be linux.

Can any one suggest anything.

Thanks

Graeme

Re: Hijack : RE: VIPRE 4 - bad updated installer (4275)

[Graeme Carstairs]

I have tried that.

Setup  the ultimate windows Boot CD to boot from USB.

And when booted, Viprerescue scans the USB not the C:Drive

It would appear that Viprerescue is using scanning the boot drive no matter
which drive you boot from,

So an option to specify drive to be scanned would be easy to implement
surely :)

Trend V's Vipre

[Graeme Carstairs]

I know this does not tie in directly with the Trend V's Vipre discussion as
its Officescan thats being compare but I sent this to Stu last month and
thought I would share it with the list, to give you my opinion of Trend

To: s...@sunbelt-software.com


Hi Stu,

I have participated in the Sunbelt hosted lists for many years, and we have
spoke by e-mail a few times.

I currently work for an IT reseller the UK

Up until this week.

I have used Trend since Office Scan and Server Protect days and really liked
it, then started to not like it so much when the cut it down to small
business editions, they seemed to loose functionality but the price was
right, and it wasn't possible to buy the Enterprise products for less than
75 users so we carried on, Small business version 3 was bad, then 3.1 fixed
the issues quickly, 3.5 was Ok and 3.6 was better. Still better than
anything else I had looked at but not a patch on the OfficeScan product.
Then they released Worry Free Small Business Version 5, which has some
faults, but 5.1 fixed those and quickly.

At this point I started to play with Vipre home and liked it small fast and
effective.

Trend released Worry Free V6 and the only network we had it on was a dual
quad core server, and PC's with 4GB RAM and quad cores, with Gig bit to the
desktop and it was ok didnt seem to be anything major wrong with it.

Now I was using Vipre rescue to clean up machines, and loved thast, looked
back to Vipre home, loved that as well, was thinking about changing but we
have 4 plus customers running Trend who all seemed to think better the
Devile you know.

Trend then announce that all versions prior to 5.1 were no longer going to
receive updates, so we thought ok well upgrade everyone to 6... BIG
MISTAKE.

Trend Worry Free 6 is broken there is no other way to describe it.

This is the reason for me e-mail, I upgrade a client on Thursday, 800MB
donwload, 2.5 hours to install, and when finished there network was to all
intents and purposes dead. So slow as to be unusable.
Removed the Agent from the server, and configured it down so that minimal
scanning was happening and switched off behaviour monitoring, and all the
other new bells and whistles, and got it working enough so the clients could
work.

I I received a phone call on Monday that the server was out of Disk Space,
the 800MB download was now taking up 6.9GB on the server all engine files
and files required by Trend to work.

I received a phone call from the same client on Tuesday that the network was
ridiculously slow, PC's taking 20 minutes to logon.

At this point I manually removed Trend from all PC's, and uninstalled from
the server once they were all restarted, the client commented "Wow, its back
to the speed it used to be years ago."

My 1st thought was Vipre, downloaded Vipre Enterprise (very small) installed
it (very quickly) but it was only 5 users, a quick call to Interactive Ideas
and we had a 25 user trial license, pushed the agent to the clients (very
simple), ran scans on all the clients (no impact to the users) picked up 3
viruses that on Machines Trend said were clean.

Its bedded in now all definitions up to date and only taking up 500MB on the
server. The memory footprint on the server is less for everything Vipre has
running, than just one service from Trend.

I am delighted, the client is over the moon, he feels like hes just upgraded
all his PC's and servers.

I just thought I should write and let you know that Vipre is brilliant and
the service from both Sunbelt and your UK distributor has been fantastic and
to top it all off I just found out that Vipre is cheaper than Trend.

Its wins all round.

Thanks again and keep up the good work. Please do not spoil the product by
adding to much too it, unless it can be added with out affecting the
performance.

Regards

Graeme

Looking to create a SharePoint explorer link in My Network Places and My Docs.

[Graeme Carstairs]

HI All,

We have a client who are part of a large corp, and on their AD domain, so
the client has restricted access to AD.

What they do have is Their Own OU and delegate access to this and get manage
GPO's ADUC in that OU and its sub OU's

The client is looking to do the following.

In SharePoint set up a site called http://wss/peopleweb/joe.bloggs for each
user

and then have a a shortcut in "My Network Places" and in "My Documents"  for
each user

I can handle the SharePoint side but not sure how to set up the shortcuts,
as it would be http://wss/peopleweb/%USERNAME% and don't know how to push
that to each users PC by policy or script.

We also have access to Landesk but not sure how to use that to achieve what
I want either, and when we ask things from Corporate we get bogged down in
why do you want its for months before getting solutions or help.

TIA

Graeme

Re: SBS2008 backup is there something similar available for 2008 R2

[Graeme Carstairs]

Ok Sounds good,

Will have a look.

the SBS 2008 backup is amazing, with the full system to one disk then
differentials from there.

And the price is excellent as well.

We tested it out by rebuilding a clients system and we had the test server
up and running in 1.5 hours.

Love it.

Thanks

Graeme

SBS2008 backup is there something similar available for 2008 R2

[Graeme Carstairs]

To all,

Having been impressed with the simplicity and speed of Windows SBS 2008
backup solution (backing up to USB drives) is there something the same or
similar available for Windows Server 2008 R2?

Cheers

Graeme

Easy way to scan all security logs on Domain connected PC's

[Graeme Carstairs]

Hi,

We have a requirement to scan all the security logs for all the PC's,
laptops and servers in a domain to see if a user attempted to logon to any
off them over a weekend.

Does anyone know of something that could pull all the logon failures from
these logs and let me look at them to see if that use is listed.

Thanks

Graeme
