How are you going to manage these devices corporately?  Most of the MDM apps

RE: What is your IT department name?

2012-10-26 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
Our organization is in state government, so take this with a grain of salt.

I work for Department of Fish and Game, which is under the California Resources 
Agency.
Within the Department, we have Divisions (Admin Division, etc.) Under the 
Divisions, we have Branches.  So, I work for ITB (Information Technology 
Branch), which covers the helpdesk, server teams (which I'm on), network team, 
security team, and telecom team.

Subject: RE: What is your IT department name?

When I have this discussion with customers as a consulting working on a re-org 
type initiative in IT, I usually push hard for the name to lean towards 
something that includes Services and to be relatively generic e.g. 
Technology Services. Keep in mind that unless you're working for a technology 
company, IT is a cost center. You're there to provide value and help the 
business execute on its core purpose. In other words, you provide a service. I 
often try and work IT out of the title just because of the reaction the term 
IT often drives with people outside of IT when they hear that term as they move 
from job to job over their career.

As far as the helpdesk scenario, that's another term I despise. The two terms 
I'll go with are Service Desk - same line of thinking here (you're here to 
provide services), or sometimes I've worked with a derivative of Customer 
Support Desk. Same thing here - you're providing a service, and the people who 
work for your company are your internal customers. I can't stand the term 
user that IT generically loves as an industry - that's another no-go for me.

When I get around to deploying this in production, I have an existing WSUS 
server, but in reality I wouldn't object to decommissioning it as a result of 
setting it all up on this single server.

That also being said, I may setup SQL on its own server just for the sake of

RE: This is what I get....

2012-09-18 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
We're going through the same issue here.  For years, while on Novell and XP, 
all of our users have been local admins.  When we roll over to Active 
Directory, and Win 7, no one will be local admins.  We purchased Viewfinity for 
our privilege elevation issues.  Pretty slick software, doesn't need to wait 
for GPO refresh times like some of the other solutions, just need someone being 
responsive to the automated e-mails that come in with elevation requests.  We 
have our first line person responding by creating a ticket in our BMC system, 
then contacting the user and their supervisor to make sure there is licensing, 
the supervisor knows what the user wants to install and actually needs it, etc. 
 When all that checks out, the ticket gets forwarded to me, and I go in and 
either create a new policy for this, or add the user to an existing group if 
the policy for that software already exists.  The user gets an automated e-mail 
when the policy is created, and they are able to install the software.

Please read this article and weigh in on the suggested workarounds.

Microsoft has released a bulletin on this, and has suggested workarounds. Most 
can be achieved via GPO:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2757760

Note 1: An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain 
the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured 
to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who 
operate with administrative user rights.
SD - this exact scenario is the benefit of users not being local administrators.

Note 2: Some of this is already done via the Trusted Site GPO. Their additional 
recommendations recommend disabling ActiveX for Internet and Local Intranet. 
The latter would disable some Commons functionality, but we can disable it on 
the Internet site zone temporarily. Even this will generate Service Desk calls 
but I feel this is worth mitigating the risk.

September 10, 2012

The federal government is strategizing to build a virtual community that would 
prompt computers worldwide to instantly, en mass, suppress cyberattacks, 
sometimes without humans at the keyboard.

The so-called cyber ecosystem would take “collective action” to galvanize 
cooperation among networks, external devices, and consumers, the Obama 
administration announced today.

“Computer systems, devices, applications and users will automatically work 
together in near real time to anticipate and prevent cyberattacks, 
automatically respond to attacks while continuing normal operations, evolve to 
address new threats, limit the spread of attacks across participating devices,” 
as well as share timely security information, a government research 
solicitation stated.

The Homeland Security Department and National Institute of Standards and 
Technology are seeking public input on the potential benefits and challenges of 
the approach before forging ahead with construction.

RE: Where did my HD space go?

2012-07-30 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
Not sure how windirstat works.  Does it show the white space as well?  If not, 
find a tool that does, and see what it says.

Subject: Where did my HD space go?

Ok, I have a strange one.  This is a 64 bit 2008 server with SP2.  It is 
complaining about the C drive being full.  The C drive is 98.5 GB in disk 
management and explorer.  Both claim there is only 400 MB of free space.  When 
I use windirstat to look at the drive and see where the space hog is, it shows 
only 23 GB of files on the drive.

Shadow copies shows as disabled and there are no previous versions listed under 
the previous versions tab.  I have emptied the recycle bin. 
Any ideas?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER

I certainly don't have time to monitor the content of e-mail sent and received 
via this account for the purposes of ensuring compliance with anyone's policies 
and procedures. I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some 
politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails 
or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, 
in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, 
anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified 
or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of 
this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by 
the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted 
for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended 
sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most 
certainly be hung, drawn and quartered.

I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been 
sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't 
responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm 
glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are 
expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of 
expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that 
statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an 
opinion-expressing service. In the event that I did, this discourse would 
provide no guarantee that I would do it anyway, but I don't, so I won't.

This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended 
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. If 
you are not the intended addressee, or the person responsible for delivering it 
to them, aside from the fact that you've clearly got some level of unauthorised 
access to their account or are at least engaged in some sort of fraud, I'm 
obliged to tell you that may not copy, forward disclose or otherwise use it or 
any part of it in any way. To do so may be unlawful, and as you're already 
breaking the law, I am sure that bombshell makes you quake in your boots and 
turn yourself over to law enforcement immediately. If you receive this e-mail 
by mistake, please advise the sender immediately. That would be me, and as I am 
clearly prone to sending emails to completely the wrong person, I should 
instantly be stripped of my status as a technical consultant and sent to do 
something more becoming of my stupidity, such as appearing on Big Brother, the 
X Factor or insert country name here's Got Talent.

Logging on as a domain user: The security database on the server does not have

3 5.0 hosts in main Datacenter and another in a separate future DR location. 
Both setups are iSCSI. Probably 25ish VMs, a mix of XP, W7, Server 2003, 2008 
and 2008R2 running Exchange 2010, SQL 2008, email archiving, BES, AV, DCs,

Which is exactly how we have it set up. A host failure on any level goes 
unnoticed by the end users plus we can do host updates during business hours, 
it really makes life easier to not have to come in after hours to do this and 
with your one man shop (I'm with you) it is essential for not hitting the 
burnout wall trying to keep up.

3 hosts will give me an n+1 configuration.
I assume I will need 2 hosts to run my environment, and having 3 will allow for 
1 to be down.
Unless you are saying 1 host is enough to run everything and the 2nd host would 
still give me redundancy?

The 8 cores vs 6 cores is really not apples to apples in this case, and while 
you will almost always be better off going with the best you can afford at a 
given moment, the truth is that you'll be positively fine with 6-cores.

The key, as others have already mentioned is RAM -- closely followed by disk.  
CPU is a bit further out.  Get tons of RAM.

Now, I have to ask.  Why 3 hosts?  You only have 8 systems to virtualize, plus 
some growth.  Define the reasonable range of growth for 1 year?  4 VMs?  8 VMs? 
   Unless you said, 20 VMs, I'd be very much inclined to tell you to save 
yourself the hardware and licensing costs of one host server right now.

We're running dozens of production VMs across a pair of quad-core host servers. 
For 190 users, you'll be fine.

I second Brian on the NetApp recommendation.

As for the services part of the quote, why do you think the $28K is 
unrealistic?  What are the quoted timeframes for the project?  What is the 
proposed scope of work?

1) I am trying to figure out if I should go with 8 core or 6 core processors in 
my 3 hosts for my upcoming VMware environment.

The price is about double.  And I'm not sure I need 8 cores.

The layout that has been quoted is as follows:

3 hosts connected to a PS4100XV SAN running VMware Essentials Plus Kit.

The host servers I am looking at are either:

HP DL360 G8 2x Intel(r) Xeon(r) E5-2640 (6 core, 2.50 GHz, 15MB, 95W) $5356 each

HP DL360 G8 2x Intel(r) Xeon(r) E5-2690 (8 core, 2.90 GHz, 20MB, 135W) $10,061 
each

I currently have 8 physical servers (Win2003, E2003, Citrix 4.0) that we will 
be P2V'd.

After I P2V the servers, the plan is to begin creating new Windows 2008 R2 VMs

We have a company here called Metro PCS.  Not sure if they're national or not.  
You have to purchase the phones, but their plans are unlimited:
Unlimited talk, text and web.  For smartphones, they start at $50/month.  
There's no limit to the data, but I think they slow you down a bit after around 
2GB or so.  Doesn't look like they have iPhones, though.  Only Android in the 
smartphone arena.  They do offer 4GLTE though.

Staying on the current plan with ATT:
Total cost over the next 2 years:

Total cost over the next 2 years (based on pre-paying yearly for each plan):
$3768

This includes the cost of early termination fee, new SIM cards, and the cost of 
purchasing a refurbished iPhone for ~$350. Also gives my daughter a data plan.

Kills me that I'm paying this much for phone service. Very eye opening. One

Exactly how low-end was this 32 TV?   It is possible to buy them with lower 
than 1080p (1920 x 1080) native panel resolution - if you bought such a thing, 
that's the problem.

If the TV has a 1080p panel, did you insure that the computer display 
resolution is set to 1980 x 1080?

Another fuzzy-display problem is underscanning by the computer's display 
driver.  If the Windows desktop doesn't fill the TV screen right to the edges, 
you have that problem and need to look for an under/over-scan setting in the 
control panel for the display adapter.

Interested if anyone else has run into this.

So one of my home machines is my Media Center PC where I use it as a PC and a 
DVR. Have a 20 LCD hooked up to it and a regular 27 television (boat anchor). 
Have been wanting to get rid of the boat anchor for a while and since the price 
of low end 32 HDTV's have come down so far, I figured I'd just replace both 
with a 32 HDTV. Got a low end video card that has HDMI out, and I thought I 
was all set. Hooked the whole thing up last night and was very disappointed in 
the resolution. Even with the latest drivers. Then I read this:

http://lifehacker.com/5884040/is-it-okay-to-use-an-hdtv-as-a-computer-monitor

It had never really occurred to me that HDTVs run at a lower resolution than a 
monitor. So I think I'll keep the 32 and just use it as a 2nd monitor for 
watching TV, and hook the old 20 back up for day to day use. Ug once again 
my lack of planning rears its ugly head.

o   New Hard drives shipped already encrypted

• Branch Office Direct Printing

we're paid to think, not just fill in checkboxes. For something more concrete: 
if it's business-oriented and heavily used by said business then a 
notification should go out, if not, then no. If in doubt: Ask. There was 
discussion between three departments that happened before the LinkedIn notice 
was sent out, for example.


  *   Do we have a clearly defined idea of where it ends
I do, see above.


  *   Several users are utilizing Dropbox and putting company property/product 
on that site.  If it was hacked, that would be a lot worse than losing your 
online resume from LinkedIn, in my opinion.
If so then I would hope that if you heard about Dropbox passwords being posted 
on the Internet that you would want to send out a note to the org, right? On 
the other hand this is one reason we DON'T want users using Google, Dropbox, 
etc for corporate business - we don't have control of the security. This is one 
area that most employees seem to grasp...


  *   Is Service Desk expected to field calls regarding non-NWEA items 
(LinkedIn for example)
If it's about communications *we* send out, then yes. If we know what we're 
doing (and we do) it should be trivial to respond to these. It's our job to 
support our staff, even if some things are beyond our direct control.


  *   Do we need to survey the Org and find a list of all the business 
related apps/sites and actively monitor them?
No, we're paid to understand and know our environment. If we don't know the 
majority of what's on users' machines and what websites are commonly used by 
our staff then we're not doing our job. Do we know EVERY site they use? No. The 
key phrase is commonly used.

I would highly recommend that you change your LinkedIn password now.  If you 
were using that same password on another internet site, now would be a great 
time to choose a separate password for that site (and other sites) and use a 
password manager like Password Corral, PassKeep or LastPass to manage them.

Basically forget about connecting your tape library to one of the VMware hosts, 
even if it should work it isn't going to be pleasant - far better to use one of 
your existing boxes as a media agent with the tape drive attached to it if you 
stick with the tape drive you have.

If you wouldn't mind doing so it would be beneficial if you went into some 
detail on what you currently do for backups - what software, what backup 
routine etc.?

If you're using something old or basic and are considering backups from scratch 
I'd suggest (in a very rough order) looking at Commvault, Unitrends, Veeam 
(only does VMware or Hyper-V) and AppAssure (only does Windows), then at the 
lower end you have Backup Exec and ArcServe and no doubt a few others.

I really can't stress the point strongly enough about having a solid backup 
plan in place when you virtualise.

Firstly you're talking about spending almost $200k on kit - respectfully I'm a 
little surprised if the VAR hasn't mentioned backups somewhere down the line?

Secondly, your single SAN is your single point of failure.  Sure, it's made not 
to fail but if it does you've just lost every single VM you have so you want to 
be able to get them back as quickly and easily as possible.

I meant more in terms of what backup software are you using?

If you're currently doing backups of your physical boxes you're most likely 
doing it using traditional agents that sit on the boxes and do file or 
application level backups?

Of course you can continue to do that, but you're missing one of the biggest 
benefits of virtualisation if you're not complementing it (or in some cases 
replacing it) with taking image level backups of the entire VM.

It's something you should definitely look into, not least because, well it's 
backups so it's probably the most important part of the whole setup, but also 
because if you do go the Netapp route they also offer a lot of software tools 
(at a cost) that your backup software may be compatible with - basically you 
want to check it out prior to any purchase to avoid any surprises down the line 
(particularly as Netapp aren't the cheapest in terms of software licenses if 
you need to buy anything down the line).

That's something that can be highly variable also, depending on how resource 
hungry the guests will be.  We're running a Dell blade chassis, with M710 
servers, dual 6-core procs, and 96GB of RAM each.  We average around 15-18

Yes!

By physical boxes, we'll presume a box that's running as a DC, and not your 
hosts as Scott pithily responded... :-)  And you may as well run a physical box 
for your vCenter if you're going to maintain a solid box for DC.

The idea behind physical boxes, is it gives you something to authenticate 
against and bring your environment back online.  At your size (three hosts, 
which is what I'm running) you probably don't need it, and can authenticate 
into the hosts and then start the guests that way.

vSphere will see all the RAM, but the amount you'll be able to use (assuming 
vSphere 5) is licensed/controlled by your vRAM entitlement.

It's one of the biggest and most contentious changes moving from 4.1 to 5.

Here's VMware's licensing paper which lists it in all its glorious
detail:

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf

So in a nutshell, yes, you'll have almost 600gb of RAM but will only be able to 
use 1/3rd of it without ponying up for more licenses.  Nice eh?!

OK one more thing:

vSphere Essentials Plus gives you 6 socket licenses for vSphere Standard.

Each license gives you 32gb of vRAM entitlement.

6 x 32 = 192gb vRAM across all three hosts.

So 196gb per host seems slightly excessive (consider we can and occasionally do 
run around 50 VM's on one host with 144gb).

 You can disable the IPv6 stack. If you want. I guess the question is, what 
 are you attempting to accomplish?

 Server discovery and name discovery work differently in IPv6 than they do 
 in IPv4. That's not really a surprise.

 If you have IPv4 addresses, you can use them just fine. With ping, use ping 
 -4 ip-address or ping -4 computer-name.

 It's simply that IPv6 is used preferentially to IPv4.

 I've finished configuration of DA/UAG, and am testing out a couple of laptops

 This was not a simple configuration, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

 I must say, it's kinda weird to ping a server, and get back an IPv6 address.

 I am wondering if there's a way to use internal resources by their
 IPv4 addresses, or if I'm just going to have to populate DNS with a whole

 Anyone else out there worked with this, and can share some opinions?

RE: MDM - Tablet/BYOD

2012-04-05 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
I'm in the same boat right now, looking at different products.  The one that I 
was most impressed by, was Athena, from Odyssey Software (which, unfortunately, 
was recently bought by Symantec).  Athena is an add-in to SCCM, so all 
management is through SCCM.  No additional infrastructure needed.  Also, what 
I've been finding is that with all the MDM products I've looked at so far, 
there are many more policy/management options with the Apple devices as opposed 
to the Android devices.

RE: MDM - Tablet/BYOD

2012-04-05 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
The difficulty with Android devices is that it's an open source platform, and 
every vendor has their own tweaks to the OS.  What works one way for Samsung 
may not work the same on HTC, may not work the same on Motorola, etc.

With Apple, there's one provider, one way of doing things.

amazon, newegg, tigerdirect and Adaptec all have them as EOL.

Lots of things are undermined by poor choices.   Completely random 20 character

By Dan Goodin
Ars Technica
March 14, 2012

Passwords that contain multiple words aren't as resistant as some
researchers expected to certain types of cracking attacks, mainly
because users frequently pick phrases that occur regularly in everyday
speech, a recently published paper concludes.

Security managers have long regarded passphrases as an
easy-to-remember way to pack dozens of characters into the string that
must be entered to access online accounts or to unlock private
encryption keys. The more characters, the thinking goes, the harder it
is for attackers to guess or otherwise crack the code, since there are
orders of magnitude more possible combinations.

But a pair of computer scientists from Cambridge University has found
that a significant percentage of passphrases used in a real-world
scenario were easy to guess. Using a dictionary containing 20,656
phrases of movie titles, sports team names, and other proper nouns,
they were able to find about 8,000 passphrases chosen by users of
Amazon's now-defunct PayPhrase system. That's an estimated 1.13
percent of the available accounts. The promise of passphrases'
increased entropy, it seems, was undone by many users' tendency to
pick phrases that are staples of the everyday lexicon.

Our results suggest that users aren't able to choose phrases made of
completely random words, but are influenced by the probability of a
phrase occurring in natural language, researchers Joseph Bonneau and
Ekaterina Shutova wrote in the paper (PDF), which is titled
Linguistic properties of multi-word passphrases. Examining the
surprisingly weak distribution of phrases in natural language, we can
conclude that even 4-word phrases probably provide less than 30 bits
of security which is insufficient against offline attack, the paper
says.

We had a PSS PFE onsite recently for an AD engagement and we were discussing 
slow boots during a break in the action and he brought up something I had never 
heard of before.

I was always under the assumption that we had what is known as Fast Logon 
Optimization on our XP systems that allows GPOs to process asynchronously in 
the background.

He told us that it is disabled in our environment because we use the profile 
settings to map homeDir and specify login script.

Basically anything that is set on the Profile tab in ADUC is considered legacy 
NT behavior and disables logon optimization. I had heard before that roaming 
profiles or software installation policies disabled it but this was news to me. 
I played around with my account on an old XP box and it rang true, never got 
around to looking into it further or on WIN7.

FWIW, YMMV :)

On the otherhand, a bitch-slap can be a healthy and needed aspect of 
Apprenticeship.  It makes people think - about thinking for themselves and to 
make greater considerations of the details involved with whatever their 
question may be - before they ask an incomplete question, or try to move 
forward with an incomplete thought again.

This list, while very friendly, has been more tolerating than recently than in 
the past of such things.  Not necessarily a bad thing, but also something 
notably annoying to many more experienced professionals.  And there is the rub; 
this is a bitch-slap, not an act of unprofessional - because this is not a

  I don't get this sentiment.  It's perfectly possible to have access to the 
same data on multiple platforms without running the same software on all of 
them.  Indeed, there are plenty of people doing that now, with MSFT on the 
desktop and RIM/APPL/GOOG for mobile.

  Additionally, I don't think trying to force the same UI paradigm everywhere 
is a good idea.  When I'm sitting at my workstation, I have lots of display 
real-estate, a full-sized keyboard.  Lots of windows, lots of foreground 
multi-tasking, lots of in-depth work sessions.
Touchscreen is less useful (gorilla arm).  For my handheld, it's more of a 
quick reference or fast note taking thing.  I'm a lot less likely to be doing 
multiple foreground tasks at once.  Screen real estate is at a premium.  
Touchscreen is preferred.

  While I think it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to try and standardize on 
one platform, I think trying to force the same UI on everyone everywhere would 
be a mistake.

Haven't noticed AVG being that bad on CPU lately, but that might be because I 
rarely watch it run on single cores.   But with lower CPU intensity comes 
lesser detection.  See the virusbtn RAP chart.  MSSE has not been in the same 
league with the other well-known names (the well known names that score well) 
for a while.  It's stayed in the same general spot while the others have 
improved.

However, I'd take it MSSE in a heartbeat over McAfee or Norton.

That's what I meant when I said it's going away.  It's currently a separate 
product, and will be going away as a separate product.  I have looked at that, 
as we will be going to 2012 at some point, but I don't think it's going to have 
enough functionality.  I've looked very briefly at the website for airwatch,

No necessarily going away, but integrating with ConfigMgr 2012.  You'll be able 
to manage apps and settings.  ConfigMgr 2012 will only support those devices 
that can sync through Exchange Active Sync.

However, if you need more capability (and more devices) than ConfigMgr 2012 
will offer (which will be the case for the majority) you'll want to look at a 
3rd party like Athena from Odyssey Software.

Yep, I saw that.  I know the wipe functionality, but that only scratches the 
surface, and most of the other policy stuff requires Enterprise CALs, which we 
don't have.  I think we're going to end up with more Androids than anything 
else, so third party looks like where I'm going to have to head.

Remote wipe is available in Exchange natively, as are a number of policies.

That being said, the various policies properly implemented in various handheld

(Windows Mobile and Windows Phone) but does have an ActiveSync Logo Program 
which includes Windows Phone/Mobile devices, iOS devices, Symbian devices But 
no Android devices - they are broken in a number of ways. (As are the iOS

What MBS said - however, I do still stand out from the crowd, because it's not 
all *that* common. For instance, nobody at work besides me has worn one.

It's still very common that I go to a public venue and get comments from folks 
- always approving and complimentary - regarding how cool it is that I'm so 
brave and daring to wear one. This after wearing it full time for over six 
years.

Some question my wearing one during the winter, but given the weather here it's 
really not a problem, as I don't spend hours upon hours outside during really 
cold weather - the typical trip is between vehicle and building..

Oddly, it's mostly women complimenting me on the the look, and often sighing 
about how they want to get their male friends to wear one.

RE: Speaking of System Center...

2012-01-18 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
Well. it is, but it isn't.  Found a Licensing White Paper yesterday 
afternoon.  On the server side, you'll get the whole suite.  But, there's 
always the client side to worry about.  In our case, we purchased only SCCM in 
our EA, along with Core CALs.  So, we will have access to SCCM, VMM and 
Endpoint Protection only.  We would have to either upgrade to the Enterprise 
CALs, or the other client MLs, which gives you allows you to manage clients 
with Ops Mgr, DPM, etc.  The price listed on the paper I read for those CALs is 
$121 each, which can add up.

Will have to speak with our licensing rep to clarify, but seems pretty 
straightforward to me.

Just went through the licensing paper again.  I think I skipped over a very

Licenses (MLs) are required for managed devices that run non-server OSEs.  So, 
unless I'm going to manage desktops with DPM, Ops Mgr, etc, I should be fine 
and not need the client MLs...

The client side will be announced at MMS 2012.  They'll have a licensing kiosk 
available in the Expo in the Microsoft pavilion, as well as, a Birds of a 
Feather for the new licensing models.

Well. it is, but it isn't.  Found a Licensing White Paper yesterday 
afternoon.  On the server side, you'll get the whole suite.  But, there's 
always the client side to worry about.  In our case, we purchased only SCCM in 
our EA, along with Core CALs.  So, we will have access to SCCM, VMM and 
Endpoint Protection only.  We would have to either upgrade to the Enterprise 
CALs, or the other client MLs, which gives you allows you to manage clients 
with Ops Mgr, DPM, etc.  The price listed on the paper I read for those CALs is 
$121 each, which can add up.

Will have to speak with our licensing rep to clarify, but seems pretty 
straightforward to me.

+1, that is pretty easy one. Also make sure you rename it to something else 
than Administrator and create a dummy admin account which is only a Guest 
and disabled, and audit its attempted use for audit and incident response 
purposes.

Also can script it out with cusrmgr.exe from the Windows 2000 resource kit.

RE: PC that can't Google

In order to edit the Hosts file, you’ll need to Open Notepad by using the Run 
as Administrator option.  Then, using Notepad, you’ll need to open the hosts 
file, then you’ll be able to edit.  Thank you Win 7/Server 2008.  But the ::1

Interesting. Originally I searched for hosts on the C Drive and nothing 
showed up. Now I've navigated to windows\system32\drivers\etc, there's the 
hosts file. I can open it and it looks like the default hosts files with one 
exception, the last line is

 ::1

I tried to edit this out but was denied even though I'm logged in as the local 
administrator.

I went to the command prompt and ran attrib on it and it show as an SHR. 
Checking another PC and normally this file doesn't have these attributes. I 
tried to change the attributes but still no luck.

Finally, I tried renaming the hosts files to hosts.junk and that worked. Go 
figure. Then I copied a default hosts file from a different PC and that enabled 
Google.com.

I don't have a clue as to why this fixed the problem.

Subject: PC that can't Google

One of our VPs brought in his company-supplied home PC (Dell Optiplex WinXP Pro 
SP3). Said it was slow and something had changed his home page and he couldn't 
change it back. He also said he couldn't access Google.

His home page had been taken over by My Web Search. I checked the Vipre 
quarantine and parts of My Web Search had been removed so I could uninstall it. 
I ran a Vipre deep scan and installed the latest version of Malwarebytes and 
ran its deep scan as well. It detected a number of registry My Web Search 
entries.

Everything seemed to be running smoothly and much quicker after the scanning 
and deleting. My Web Search was gone but the Google problem persists. Using 
either Firefox or IE, you can access any website with out problem accept 
Google.com. At the command prompt, you can ping or tracert any website and it 
will resolve the name to it's IP address, accept Google.com. Google.com just 
times out with the error that the host name could not be found. I've checked 
there is no lmhost file. I've also ran ipconfig

The PC is attached to our work network and through DHCP has picked up our 
standard DNS server to use. Everyone else can get to Google.com.

What else could be interfering on just the Google.com name?

RE: OT Gmail rant

2012-01-09 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
I'm not sure what the big deal is, personally.  I've been using the new format 
for a while now.  I applied a theme to it, to separate the mail from the plain 
background.  I have the density settings to comfortable, which gives separation 
from each other.  As far as getting to the older e-mails, there's a big old 
arrow right at the top of the screen.  I haven't noticed a whole lot of 
rollover activity, other than one section on the left side, but that may be 
from a lack of stuff that I'm doing with the client, I don't know...

RE: Expanding a subnet

2012-01-05 Thread Heaton, Joseph@DFG
Nope.  254 is as high as it goes.  255 is the broadcast address for the subnet. 
 But you could add another subnet.  Or you could change your subnet mask, to a 
lower number, and get more endpoints that way.

Subject: w32tm.exe Help Understanding

Hello and Merry Christmas,

I am feeling pretty dumb here and would like to wrap up one of my projects 
before the holiday

Currently I am trying to do some calculations using w32tm.exe to validate my 
math...and my math appears to be wrong.
For example I Google how many nanoseconds in a day. From multiple sources I get 
86,400,000,000,000. Fine then w32tm.exe should match saying 1 daybut it 
doesn't  It says 100 days

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 864000
100 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

A day is a day regardless so I can't see that time zone would matter for this 
simple calculation??

So let's say Google is wrong and I use 864,000,000,000 which does show as one 
day.

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 8640
1 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

Fine w32tm.exe has an epoch of 1-1-1601. I want the number of nanoseconds till 
1-1-1901. That would be

300 (1901-1601)
365 (days in a year)
300 * 365 = 109,500 days

109500 days * 8640 (nanoseconds in a day) = 94,608,000,000,000,000

Close but no dice.

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 94608
109500 00:00:00.000 - 10/20/1900 5:00:00 PM

So I am pretty confused and any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
