Re: Another NT problem
Eric, I would get a copy of Steve Gibson's SpinRite (http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm) and run it on each individual disk.

Mike, I was speaking with our Network Admin and found out that we aren't currently load balancing with the Elfiq's but using their failover algorithm with our different. Currently it appears that if you use the Elfiq for load balancing it is done with DNS so if there are any changes on the circuit provider side, it will affect your load balancing. HTH.

Re: smart phone sync with Vista
Len, are you running a 64 bit version of Vista by chance. I have an 8525 and initially had issues with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I will admit that I am running WM6.0 (or is it 6.1?) and have not tried it with WM 5.0. I was running some custom cooked ROMs on my 8525 when I took it WM6.0 and didn't see any negative effects. HTH.

I did download WM6 but as their documentation for that upgrade indicated that it was a one-way trip from WM5 to WM6 and that not all devices would work with WM6, I elected not to perform the upgrade. As I use this device as my primary phone for my IT business, their notes did not give me warm fuzzies on the success of the upgrade. At the time, as now, the device is working fine and syncing fine with my XP desktop. This is not a mandatory change for continued functionality. My Cingular (ATT) contract is in the last 3 or 4 months so I would be eligible for device upgrade with contract renewal almost anytime.

Hard Drives for Dell Servers
I have been tasked with finding the maximum capacity of drives that we can put in some PowerEdge 6800's that we are going to be re-using. Right now I have 146GB U320 drives in them. I'm imagining that I should be able to get 300GB U320's from Dell, but I'm looking to be able to save some money on this. Since the carrier for the Dell drives is really just a bezel as the drives have an 80 pin SCA connection, should I be able to get away with using any 80 pin SCA U320 drive? Or is their some proprietary firmware in the Dell drives that would prevent me from doing that? Thanks in advance!

Re: HIPPA and wireless
Shook: Based on my experience at my last gig (working in Long Term Healthcare), wireless should not be an issue as long as you are using some form of encryption.

We had quite a few mobile users that would travel from facility to facility and using the wireless in facility.

That should do the trick. Just make sure that you are using the highest level of encryption afforded by the devices. Also take all the other necessary precautions, hidding the SSID, turning off beaconing, etc. Of course this means that you'll have to manually configure the wireless on each workstation, but that can just means more hours that can be billed for, and that can't be all bad ;) -Joe On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 9:51 AM, Andy Shook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nice but I don't need anything that sexy.

Re: HIPPA and wireless
Ok, so I missed that thread. I already had advised Shook to use the highest level of encryption afforded by the device in my followup and in my original post said that most devices support WPA2. If you're using the highest level of encryption afforded by the device, in this case WPA2, then hiding the SSID can't hurt. In George Ou's articles on ZDNet, when he was referring to hiding SSID's as a security measure, I believe that he was referring to using that as your only security measure, without any type of encryption (read as Open Network). Same goes for MAC address filtering - not effective if there is no encryption is involved. As far as LEAP being useless, it is only useless when combined with weak passwords. Since we were using Cisco ACS to hook into AD, our password policy required strong passwords, with a very aggressive password expiration and history policy. Hopefully this clears up any confusion that may have been in my initial responses. -Joe On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 10:10 AM, Phillip Partipilo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sidenote, it was recently talked about here that hiding the SSID is worthless.

Re: HIPPA and wireless
Where did I ever say that leap was the way to go? I just stated that it was implemented at my last gig, using strong passwords and an aggressive password change/history policy for the wireless users. I wasn't the one that set it up, and the C-Level did not want changes made to it due to the amount that they had spent on the infrastructure based on the recommendations of the prior network admin. Now had we been newly implementing wireless in our facilities, I'd have gone the WPA2 route and used the built in NICs in the notebooks and WPA2 supported APs. For an added layer of security I'd use self-signed SSL Cert and configure PEAP via GPO. Another option is using IAS with a self-signed cert as well. To each their own. -Joe On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 11:18 AM, Ziots, Edward [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Look at this, and tell me if you really think LEAP is the way to go. http://truesecurity.se/blogs/murray/archive/2008/06/12/teched-us-2008-draft-for-session-quot-why-i-can-hack-wireless-quot.aspx Leap and a few other protocols that where commonly used in Wireless networks, was successfully deleted at Tech Ed this year, and it wasn't that hard to do it.

Networker and Quantum Scalar Problem
I have a brand new Quantum Scalar 50, with 2 HP LTO 3 drives in it and 2 18 slot magazines. The library is connected to a Adaptec 39160 in a Dell PowerEdge 1850. I am running Networker 7.3.2 on Windows 2003 R2 SP2. Networker does have the proper Autoloader licenses installed and activated. The problem that I am having is that in Networker after I configure the library, I am only seeing 2 of the 25 slots I am licensed for. In the Device Manager I can see an Unknown Media changer with the Microsoft Driver, and I have the HP drivers installed for the LTO Drives. The drives show up fine in Networker. EMC tells me I need a driver for the library, Quantum tells me that they don't have one. The Removable Storage service is disabled. Has anyone seen this before and know of a fix? I've been going round and round with EMC and Quantum for 3 days now, and am getting a little tired of it.

Visio Side by Side Install
I was wondering if there was a way to do a side by side install of Visio 2003 with Visio 2007. I have some Visio 2003 diagrams of my datacenter that have been modified by the MBSA 2.0 Visio plug-in and the 2.1 version under 2007 breaks the diagrams, so I would like to keep the 2.0 version.

OT: Unlocked Mobile Phones on eBay
I was looking for a little bit of insight. I have decided to downgrade my phone from a HTC8525 (Windows Mobile 5) to just a regular mobile (Motorola RAZR3). I was wondering other than being unlocked and sometimes have some goodies thrown in (charger, earpiece, etc.) are there any other differences from the models sold by the mobile vendors/authorized reps?

Re: Removing SBS2003.
Once again I'd like to thank everyone for their advice. Just to clarify, this is a development lab that I have at home. What I finally wound up doing last night was unjoining the 5 machines (both physical and virtual) from the domain, after I exported their mail to .PSTs, and just deleted the SBS VM. Since I was not going to be using Exchange in the new environment, I just brought up a new DC and started joining machines to the domain. All seems to be running swimmingly. Thanks.

Removing SBS2003.
I guess the subject says it all. I have a SBS2003 server on my network, and want to replace it with a 2003 Server. Is it as simple as bringing the new 2003 box online, promoting it to domain controller, and then transferring the FSMO roles to it from SBS? The only concern I have about putting the new 2003 box into AD is that the schema has been extended for Exchange. Will this cause any problems if I want to bring up Exchange at a later date?

Re: LTO Ultrium 2 Tape question
Most LTO drives use hardware compression, so software compression is not necessary. As JLC said, it depends on what you're backing up. If you're backing up JPEG images for example, they are already a compressed file format that will not compress any more. Text files I have seen 2:1 compression if not better. HTH. Joe On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Joseph L. Casale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do I get 400 GB of compressed data on these? Backup text files :) Seriously depends on the type of data. Highly compressed or incompressible data can actually increase in size when compressed. Would this be a setting in Arcserve and then the data is compressed during the backup to fit more data? You will have an option for software or hardware compression somewhere I assume, but I never used that app before. If this is possible, would this slow down restore time if data is compressed on the tape? You wont notice an increase in time, but under some scenarios you are writing to less linear tape length, so it can speed it up actually. jlc -- Joe Fox Systems/Network Administrator Mobile# (716) 846-9308 http://www.linkedin.com/in/josephfoxjr The information contained in this e-mail message, including any attached files, is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Re: Axis IP Cameras and Software
One thing to keep in mind - if you have a lot of cameras and a decent frame rate, you are going to need a ton of disk space. In order to accomodate the storage we have, we had to drop the frame rate to 4fps for a facility with 36 cameras. We use about a 1TB for a 30 day archive, and approximately 16GB daily. This isn't taking into account any overlap between the daily storage and the archiving. Additionally, these products are bandwidth hogs, so you'll need to put them and the server on a gigabit ethernet switch. Just something to keep in mind.

RE: Tech Resume
75% of all jobs obtained are not obtained through classifieds, job search engines, or recruiters. They are obtained my networking. Most of the time it's about who you know, and more importantly, who they know. I've done some extensive networking in the past and it has really paid off for me. I really don't like using recruiters, as they aren't looking out for my interests, but just their commission from putting someone in a position. Just my $0.02 -Joe From: MarvinC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 9:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Tech Resume I've never heard of a 1 page technical resume but I guess it all depends. I don't see how that can be effective with the way recruiters scan and process resumes. I've found over the years that most of the recruiters don't even read the resume and instead scan it based on the buzz words specified by the client. They then call you up and ask you questions that they may have found had they simply read the resume. From here a determination is made on whether your info is forwarded to the client. So I say instead of limiting yourself, sell yourself because in the end all the recruiter is trying to do is line up as many cadidates that are necessary to grab that business. There's no such thing as the perfect resume. You may get lucky and run into a batch of recruiters that know what you want but again why limit yourself. Just be conservative about how you describe your skillsets and experiences. I've found that bullet points are a lot more effective than sentences that run long when trying to explain a project or task. In the end it comes down to your own judgement and how much info you're trying to publish.

Of course a potential employer will request references prior to an interview, no need to waste important space on the paper. One more resume killer - templates. Don't use them.

Also, if you are anything like me, and already in a career, and know what direction it is going in, there is no need for a Career Objective, that can be replaced with a Summary of Qualifications.

RE: Tech Resume
I guess that you missed my post that said that my resume was just the Table of Contents to my portfolio that I've amassed over 15 years. And if you are wondering what I'm hiding, isn't that generating interest in your mind? Which is the point of a resume - generate enough interest to get in for an interview. From my experience with people, just the fact that I might be hiding something would be enough for some people to grant an interview, just to find out if I was hiding anything. People are interesting creatures. -Joe From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Tech Resume I've held one job in my entire career based on someone I knew...

RE: Tech Resume
It is a leather bound 3 ring book/binder with specific project samples/plates, my letters of recommendations, certifications, accreditations, etc. I bring it with me to every interview. When an interviewer starts bringing up some aspect of the job, I can just turn to that section of my portfolio and have proof that I've done the work that I've said I've done. It's really no different than an artist or a fashion designer's portfolio - it showcases my work. -Joe From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Tech Resume I'd be interested in seeing what you mean by your portfolio? Is this some huge document, showing specific project experiences? It's an interesting idea, but I'm wondering how you would actually use it. Do you bring it with you to an interview?

Vitualizing a DC
I was thinking about virtualizing my 2003 Domain Controller (3 User network) and running it under VMWare. I'm debating as to which way to do this. Would it be better to P2V the existing DC with the VMWare converter and import it, or would it be better to just put up another VM, promote to DC, and then move the FMSO roles from the existing DC and then decommission it? Thanks in advance.
