Re: This can't be right (2008R2 - 2012)

Re: PC lifecycle?
I work for an architectural firm, with architects, engineers, and graphic designers. Like Jonathan the staff are the revenue producers, and they run the latest in design software. If their computer isn't keeping up, we're losing money. With a two year lease cycle we are able to respond to the cycles of business since 1/8th of the computers are up for lease renewal each quarter. Also this gives us a very homogeneous environment, since we have standard hardware, and every nearly every workstation has the software on it. The users can move from machine to machine/office to office with no disruption. The helpdesk has few problems.

Re: Boot from SAN
I have 16 blades booting from SAN. It works, but when I originally set them up they were running WS2003 and holy crap what a pain. With 2008 most of that is gone, but it's still a bit iffy sometimes. My only caveat is that you have support from one vendor for both the SAN and the servers. @Brian, at the time we set this up the intention was to have a spare blade on hand, and move the LUNs over if we had a hardware failure. We did do this once. That no longer is the case, and I'm not sure I would do it again.

Re: Anti-virus boot-up disks?
It does not require an internet connection for the infected PC, and seems to update at download, requiring a new CD each time, unless you go with the USB option. The following requirements apply only to the computer infected by a virus or malware: - The computer infected with a virus or malware must have the same Windows operating system architecture as Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta, either 32-bit or 64-bit. - In addition, BitLocker must be disabled to use Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta. The following requirements apply only to the computer on which you are creating the bootable media: - Internet connection: Required for installation and download of the latest virus and spyware definitions for Standalone System Sweeper. - Internet Browser: Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or higher.

Re: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU
Also not much different than the servers from Dell.

yes and yes. It's been a couple of years now, but we used SCCM to push out NoNav, and Forefront installed through WSUS and GP. We couldn't get real tight integration of the whole thing, so some folks were running both for a period of time. With all of that I suspect we visited at least 10% of the machines personally.

Re: Forefront Client Security
That about sums up our experience. I last heard the long awaited next version is due out the second half of this year. It's been pushed back a number of times, as they add requested features. I'm hoping that means improved reporting, and more granular control from the console. On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 7:47 AM, John Hornbuckle john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us wrote: I agree on all counts. Very easy to deploy and update via WSUS, and the client software seems to work fine--doesn't overtax the workstations or cause weirdness. The MOM console is, indeed, a smidge complicated. I'd go further than that and say that it's just plain badly-designed, and not at all user-friendly. Roger mentioned false negatives. I've faced that with the SecurityTools malware. Microsoft's argument is that whoever makes SecurityTools is regularly modifying the executable just enough to make it undetectable with FCS's definitions. So one version of the malware comes out, Microsoft modifies defs to detect it, then another slightly different version comes out. The malware always seems to be a step ahead of FCS. Now, I should mention that we run our machines tightly-locked. Not a single one of our users runs with admin rights, and our students run with software restriction policies on top of that. Plus, our e-mail antivirus is quite effective, and our machines stay full-patched. So our layered approach to security probably helps reduce our odds of being infected with malware regardless of the AV product we use. And on those occasions where we did get infected (i.e., with SecurityTools) there was no real damage and cleanup took about 30 seconds.

Re: National broadband
I read lots of comments here about this subsidizing the poor. Maybe it will, but I also think it will help those that live too far from the telco. My sister owns a small ranch in rural Missouri. She's not some corporate farmer, nor is she living in a McMansion on the outskirts of an urban area. She has dial up, and that's all that is available. If this were 70 years ago she wouldn't even have electricty, because it didn't pay to run those electric lines to every small farm in America. I don't see this as any different. The telcos will never make back their investment running broadband down that country road. She'll do without until something like national broadband comes along.

We definitely don't plan on shutting the servers down completely, and for the reason you mention. While their functions won't be needed over each 3-day weekend since no one will be working, I'm not comfortable shutting them down, leaving them off for a few days, then bringing them back up again when it can be avoided. That's why we decided to go with the plan where we bump up the thermostat (to, say, 85 degrees) rather than turning off the A/C altogether. So what I'm worried about at this stage is what effect heat in that range will have on the servers. We'll be looking at 3 days of it at a time for a period of around 8 weeks. So let's say 24 days. Again, 85 degrees is within the servers' listed operation range. It's 10 degrees below the max of 95 degrees that Dell lists. Still, it's on the warm side, and it's a good 10-15 degrees warmer than the servers normally run at.

That just really sounds like a bad idea. My goal is to rarely, if ever, shut down a server. Sure, they get rebooted periodically (more than I would like - thanks MS), but for the most part I think it is better for servers to stay powered up and the hard disks spinning for as long as possible. It has been my experience that equipment failures follow power off events. I usually use the light bulb analogy. A light bulb, for the most part, will blow out upon turning it back on. But usually does not blow out when lit. This is due to the heat/cool effect that was mentioned in an earlier post. My advice to you is to request proper server room cooling, and leave your systems up and running. By the way.. what was your plan for email during the shut down weekend? Were you just going to reject all mail until Monday when you power back up? Bob Fronk -Original Message- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 4:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Speaking of server heat... I had mentioned in an earlier thread we're looking at going to a 4- day work week over the summer so that air conditioning in our buildings could be shut off Thursday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Since our server rooms (aside from our NOC) aren't on separate A/C systems, this would mean completely shutting the servers down every Thursday and bringing them back up on Monday. We'd also need to do the same with all of the switches in our wiring closets. Upper management has seen the problems this could create, and it looks as though instead we'll be leaving the A/C on, but at a higher temperature. Our Dell servers are rated to run at up to 95 degrees with 80% humidity. I don't want to hit those levels, though, and am pushing for us to let temps get no higher than 85 degrees. My question is, could even this lead to problems down the road? I understand that it's within the operating range of the servers. However, it's still on the high side. It will result in higher-than-usual temperatures for the servers, and their fans will run at higher speeds (which, ironically, will consume more electricity and partially offset the money we're trying to save). The fans are mechanical devices, so running at higher speeds would have to reduce their lifespans somewhat, I would think. Any other considerations? Effects on other components of the servers?

Re: FW: Tape drive - Tandberg?
*28: What are the backward compatibility characteristics of the Ultrium format?* The LTO Ultrium compatibility is defined with two concepts demonstrating investment protection: 1) An Ultrium drive can read data from a cartridge in its own generation and two prior generations. 2) An Ultrium drive can write data to a cartridge in its own generation and to a cartridge from the immediate prior generation in the prior generation format. For example: - An Ultrium format Generation 4 drive will read and write data on an Ultrium format Generation 3 cartridge as specified by the Generation 3 format and read data on an Ultrium format Generation 2 drive. - An Ultrium format Generation 3 drive will read and write data on an Ultrium format Generation 2 cartridge as specified by the Generation 2 format and read data on an Ultrium format Generation 1 drive http://www.ultrium.com/About/faq.php On Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 4:57 PM, Sean Houston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Evan, I have heard some good stuff about Tandberg stuff from a couple people, but I haven't had any direct experience with it myself. I may not be 100% correct on this, but I've heard there are a few considerations to make about going with an LTO4. LTO2 and LTO3 tape loaders and media are compatible with each other. However LTO4 is not in both it will not read tapes that currently have media on them, and will not write to them either. This means you have to buy all new media and get copies of your current tapes or keep the old tape loader.
