RE: Standing up 2K8DC - finally. Opinions?
May I add Client Side Extensions for GPO's if you still have XP boxes? Some GPO's may or may not work because XP doesn't know about the new GPO's.

RE: GPO Printer install non-admins
This what you are looking for? I finally figured it out. I figured that I'd share: I was sorting my labs AD Computers into OUs. I then assigned a blank group policy for the printers on that OU. Using the Printer Manager, I installed the printers and drivers as a TCP/IP printer on my print server. I then used the Deploy Printer option to configure the until now blank group policy This was all working perfectly. I had not had any problems doing it this way. This installs the printers on the client machines as TCP/IP printers, so none of them are dependent on a print server. My mistake was that I forgot a crucial step in this kind of deployment process: I still had to share the printer from the print server. Doing this allowed the computers to install the necessary drivers from the print server. what I can't figure out is how the administrator accounts could see and use use the printers, but the non-admins could not. Is there a hidden administrative share that holds the drivers? Was Windows able to install local drivers each time? Anyways, as usual, something small and somewhat obvious was preventing it from working.

Server is basically brand new (good specs). For the last 4 months, no issues. Then over the last 3 weeks, their Quickbooks (Enterprise 12.0) has been getting slower and slower when saving invoices and work orders, etc. Initially it would start taking 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, and now 10 minutes just to save a single invoice or work order. Prior to 3 weeks ago, everything was fast as can be Quickbooks support hasn't been too helpful -- they keep pointing at the server itself, but Task Manager and Resource Monitor don't show any areas of bottlenecking (CPU, memory, disk, etc.). Users also say it doesn't matter if only ONE person is in the office, and using Quickbooks, they still get the slowness problems... So it's not load related either. I'm guessing right now there's something corrupt wiht the database maybe or a problem with Quickbooks, but this is just a wild guess at this time. Thoughts?

RE: Dell to acquire Quest
The previous co-owner, Rob, hates how Dell is running the company. As far is the product goes, it hasn't changed much but the support and communications is definitely not the same.

At worst it's FAR better than Symantec buying them.

All 4 offices are independently ran and do not share any files. It's a dental office so its not too complex. Although central administration would be nice, I don't think that is in the road map. However, if the owner decides to centralize management, I think going the route of Server 2008 would be the best bet. -Original Message- From: James Hill [mailto:falc...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 3:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SBS Standard 2011 or Server 2008 R2 How many offices are there?

I suppose you could try that. That may not be all that feasible, since the Apple TV and the iPad will both need connectivity on the same subnet, for that to work.

In very general steps: Grab a PC, load a Server OS on it (no need to activate it, you'll be tearing it down), join to domain, make it a TEMPDC, seize roles, robocopy the folder *structure* (incl perms) , export the reg keys for the lanmanshares, wipe and upgrade the existing DC OS, join to domain, DCPROMO, seize roles, restore file shares, restore files, test new DC, demote the TEMPDC. Add a step or two if this DC also does DNS and DHCP, you need to transfer that over as well. Effectively TEMPDC is a functional clone of YOURDC and allows you to keep UserID's and passwords, AD groups and NTFS ACL's With a couple of extra steps you can bring up the rebuilt DC with the same name as the old one, depending on your environment it might not matter (not having Exchange helps).

If I don't specify a transforms file I can get it to install and it removes the old version fine, but it doesn't take any of the settings I used in the customization wizard. If I open that .MSI with Adobe's Customization Wizard it shows the options I've selected (the tools title even shows AcroPro.msi transformed by AcroPro.mst). Surely it's something very simple.

local subnet routing issue
Hi All, We recently made some routing changes to our network in two of our offices. Some of the machines now, don't see its own local subnet properly. What happens is if the local routing table doesn't have 172.17.0.0/24 though its own NIC. When it routes, it will go to the firewall (default gateway) and then come back. If I manually add the 172.17.0.0/24 network as persistent, it can talk properly to machines on its network. Does anyone know why some of the machines aren't getting this route automatically? Would moving DHCP to a W2k8 server fix this? So far, this has occurred on W7 boxes. 2008 FFL/DFL DHCP is on a r2 server Thanks, Jimmy ~ 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: local subnet routing issue
All we did was re-ip our dedicated site to site routers with a routable ip address. So all our machines default to our firewall which then sends the traffic to the dedicated router. When we got the Juniper firewalls, we initially had trouble getting the routes to work properly over the site to site connection (internal ip). We had to add persistent routes to the local workstations for the routing to route properly. The route we added was 172.17.16.0/24 through 172.17.0.1 (previous dedicated router IP) and vice versa. Now that we have routable IP's, we removed the persistent route and everything works great. Now for some strange reason the local route for the subnet is missing on some workstations. This may have been missing prior to the network changes... Jimmy From: Andrew S.

RE: wds not showing x86 install images
Im actually capturing an x86 image of XP. I just ran sysprep from the GUI tool with mini-setup. What I did was use imagex to capture the image and then importing it into WDS. Apparently WDS doesn't like that. It has to capture its own images with the capture image function. My VM HD controller was set to SCSI and I didn't have the drivers installed in my boot image for that. When I created an IDE HD, it worked. I'll search for those drivers and see how it goes. Worst case, I build a new VM with an IDE HD. From: Joseph L.

DNS Cache Issue
For the past month or so, I've had issues connecting to github.com, about 3 or 4 occurances. Whenever my developers notice this, I can confirm a nslookup for github.com fails with the following error: *** dc.domain can't find github.com: Server failed. The problem seems to be office/site wide. The only way I can resolve this is by clearing the cache on my local DNS server. We are using root hits to resolve DNS with no forwarders. DNS is AD-Integrated and located on the same server as DC. It is running W2K8 R2. Searching Google didn't help much. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can look at?

There are six nameservers delegated authority for github.com.,
with names of the form ns{1..4}.everydns.net. and
ns{1..2}.anchor.net.au.. The two under anchor.net.au try to do
EDNS0, but the resulting answers are malformed. They work fine if
EDNS0 is avoided and DNS datagrams are limited to 512 bytes.
Most likely, they've got an old or misconfigured firewall which
believes all DNS packets are 512 bytes. That was correct in 1987 but
is wrong in 2011.
Ideally, you contact the operators of the domain/nameservers in
question, and have them fix their network/change to a better DNS host.
Failing that, you'll prolly have to disable EDNS0 at your end to
avoid their malfunction.
I don't know of any way to disable EDNS0 only for a given
server/domain in MS-DNS. The following link explains how to disable
EDNS0 for everything. I haven't tried it, I am not familiar with it,
it may cause problems, etc., etc., but I wouldn't expect any trouble.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787130%28WS.10%29.aspx
I discovered this by using dig, the incredibly useful DNS
diagnostic tool that's included with the ISC BIND suite. (It's
available for MS Windows.) Commands which demonstrate the issue:
dig +noall ANY github.com. @ns1.anchor.net.au.
;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
[remaining output omitted]
dig+bufsize=512 ANY github.com. @ns1.anchor.net.au.
[remaining output omitted]
Note the lack of warning in the second command.
(I didn't start with those commands, but they demonstrate the problem.)

RE: 'All Programs' icons missing
I had a case like this last week. You have to go into the users profile and unhide the icons under the start menu... That worked for me. Also, run Malwarebytes to clean up any problems.

Assuming its running XP: 1. you want to change the settings to show hidden files and folders 2. navigate to the following folders (and subfolders) and verify everything is NOT hidden: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\...
