AT&T Standard Cisco ASA for MPLS?

[Marty Nelson]

Does anyone happen to know what the standard Cisco ASA box that AT&T uses for 
their MPLS lines?  We're trying to figure out who's paying, and exactly what 
they're paying for?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Dial-up Settings...Anyway to move usernames AND passwords?

[Marty Nelson]

Greetings all;

Here's the story, I have a Windows XP machine that is starting to show its age 
so I'm thinking about retiring it.  The problem with retiring it is that this 
machine is my companies' primary dial-out machine for us to support our 
customers that don't have high speed connections.  It has three dozen or so 
connections, and while I know I can move the .pbk to the new machine, that only 
brings over the names and phone numbers.  Don't get me wrong, that's extremely 
helpful, however it's only half of what I need.  This is a prime example of why 
documenting everything is 100% necessary...well ok, maybe not everything.

I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone know of a hack, a shareware/freeware 
program, or any way of getting those passwords over to a new computer (Probably 
Windows 7)?

Thanks so much,

-Marty

New to VIPRE - how to uninstall old AV product automatically

[Marty Nelson]

How's it going?

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to uninstall Symantec's AV from a 
machine automatically using the VIPRE install agent.  I've downloaded the 
uninstaller from Sunbelt; I just don't know what to do with it!  I've followed 
the instructions about changing the packages folder to .bat, I then put the new 
package folder (from the download) into the same folder.  Do I just run the 
agent install like I normally would?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Malcolm thanks for the link.  It does a really good job of explaining how

It basically says that if you own a radio station or if you're an aerobics

As for the legalities, it is illegal to use terrestrial radio as MOH.
When you go to Sirius/XM's station, they partner with this company:

In other words, you can probably get away with playing it yourself (I go
to a Schlotsky's restaurant nearby that does it), but as far as

Stupid question, been wanting to do this for years and Management
finally told me to do it.  Anyway, say I sign up for the Sirius internet
streaming and just plunk an old laptop on the top of the PBX rack.  Does
the internet stream ever time out or will it stay on indefinitely?
Would be kind of hard to put a physical unit in, would have to get an
antenna outside.  Noticed they also have a tabletop radio that uses
internet connection for it's feed.  Suppose that would work also if the
feed never times out.

RE: Moving away from Symantec, how 'bout Microsoft Forefront? Is there a better database options?

[Marty Nelson]

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.  It sounds like Vipre may be the way to 
go, and I thank Roger for the info on it.  I'm really hoping that we can get 
away from Symantec.  I'm just praying that the foul taste that I HATE SPAM left 
is something management can get past so that we can go with another Sunbelt 
product.

I assume that there's a list like this for Vipre?  I guess it would help if I 
took a look for myself...!

As far as Forefront, what Jon's saying sounds like a damn good reason not to go 
with it.  If you need a full copy of sql for Forefront to work l is a HUIGE let 
down.  It also a shame that is sounds like it doesn't necessarily play well 
with other open source SQL servers or I'd imagine that Jon would have gone that 
route.

Again thank you all for the suggestions, and if there are more out there keep 
them coming!

Thank you all so much,

Good move getting away from Symantec security.

We've just made the move from MS Forefront to VIPRE Enterprise.  FF was okay

difficult to manage and deploy the VIPRE.

Vipre is on my list of products to review, although there is on hiccup.  We had 
some serious issues with Sunbelts "I Hate SPAM" that we ran here for a while.  
It was causing Exchange to crash at a rate that was unacceptable (as if there's 
an acceptable rate).  So management, as well as some others here, felt a bit 
burned by it and therefore don't hold Sunbelt in high regard no matter what 
their current product is, the awards it's won, etc.

I was wondering if it's possible to export or copy the local user database from 
one server to another (new) server.  I'm looking at around 100 users that need 
local user accounts and I'd really like to not have to manually recreate them!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Policy Patrol Reviews?

[Marty Nelson]

Thanks so much for the lead Roger.  CodeTwo has a lower per user cost than 
Policy Patrol, which is nice although my concern is how good the product is, 
will it crash, etc.  The fact that it will be installed on the Exchange server 
itself concerns me as I would hate for it to crash!

Do you happen to have any hands on experience with either product?

Jonathan, thanks for the input on Policy Patrol.

Marty,

Take a look at Exchange Rules from http://www.codetwo.com.  It's affordable and 
can pull the data directly out of AD.

What we're looking for is a program that will add an outbound signature to all 
e-mails that include the users specific data (phone and fax #, e-mail, etc.).  
Ideally this program would require no client software, thus taking any control 
away from the users.  After searching for all of those variables, Policy Patrol 
seemed to come to the surface as one of the least expensive ways to do it.  
What I'm concerned about is that this may be a case of "if it's too good to be 
true, it probably is".

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Moving LOCAL users from one computer to another

I'll bump this once hoping to catch those who didn't see it the first time.

Is there a way to transfer local users from one machine to another.  Both 
machines are W2K3 patched, and neither are domain controllers.

Or am I stuck recreating each account?

Both servers are running Windows Server 2003 (Patched to the gills).  The users

some are people who do not work here, in fact come are clients, creating domain 
accounts on the server itself seemed like the best thing to do at the time.  
They have no access to anything, no permissions to do anything else, nada.

Do the latest round of HP LaserJet 10 series printers suffer from the same driver prob as older versions?

[Marty Nelson]

A while back you wonderful people helped me out with a problem I was having and 
the problem turned out to be a driver issue with the older HP 10x series of 
printers.  Well, I bought a Dell 1110 replacement printer, but evidentially 
it's not up to spec with the user and her (and my) supervisor who has now 
mandated an HP printer be purchased.

Does anyone know if the driver issue has been solved with the P10x series of 
printers?

I have a 1-1/2 year old Tandberg Data T24 storage library and the drive just 
bit the dust six months out of warranty. Tandberg has told me (as expected,) 
“If it turns out the repair and service agreement is close to the cost of a new

Before I go down the route of fix or replace I’m wondering if I should look

window that is about six hours in length between backup and verify.

Anyone have disk based backup that’s fast and working for them?

I had this same issue with a 1022 printer when printing pdfs the other day. Did

forum on the HP site where a ton of people had the same issues. There were a 
lot of workarounds involved and basically HP stated that they did not have a 
fix for it and did not plan on fixing it.

What worked for me was downloading the full driver download from the HP site 
(which apparently does not have that dll packaged with it), running the clean 
spool utility to remove the original drivers, then manually installing the 
drivers that I previously downloaded.

The Configuration Database is an SQL Server (or MSDE) database somewhere. It's

You can run the SharePoint Technologies Configuration Wizard to reconnect to

Morning all, (or afternoon depending on where you are).

Here's the problem I seeing.  I have a system (Windows XP Professional) that 
I'm controlling remotely through VNC (It's in Australia and I am in 
California).  The partition is NTFS, however when I go to a folder of file 
properties, the security tab isn't there.  I have the "General", "Summary", and 
"Sharing" tabs are, but no security.  I always thought that once you made a 
partition NTFS, that's all you needed to set file level permissions.

Please tell me I'm missing something obvious, I'm in a bit of a time crunch and 
would really appreciate any help you could provide.

Thanks so much,

I'm quite happy with our Secure Computing Sidewinders. They rock.

If I were to go Open Source, I'd consider using FreeBSD running PF and
OpenVPN. Unfortunately, SSLExplorer went commercial after being GPL,
so I consider it abandonware, though the source is available on
sourceforge.

Anyone using NST as an intrusion detection/network scanner? Need setup help.

[Marty Nelson]

Hey everyone.  I was wondering if anyone was using NST in their environment.  I 
have a spare box that I would like to use for that, but am having a hard time 
doing a hard drive install.  It recommends 4 partitions, but when I go and 
create those partitions, there are options that the FAQ's and Wiki don't really 
answer.  What type of file system, etc.  There doesn't seem to be a great walk 
through out there, and I've been pounding my head against the wall trying to 
figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated

RE: Server Room - Suggestions on rack enclosures

[Marty Nelson]

Good point, although I picked up a half dozen noname racks from the company 
next to me, and the dell versa rails go in perfectly.  Not to mention you can 
get Dell racks for a decent price if your rep likes ya :p

That being said 90 percent of my servers are dell, with an hp 1u itanium and a 
compaq alpha thrown in for fun.  Also for what it's worth the barracuda spam 
firewall and google mini slide right in as well, although since those have no 
rails I suppose it's a moot point

  Have you/can you try it from another client machine?  That will at
least tell us if the problem is with the client or the server.

> I have the "Use the default gateway on remote server box

  If you do a "ROUTE PRINT" command on the client, does it show an IP
route to the remote network?

  If the client connected to another IP net which has the same network
number?  For example, if the remote network is 192.168.1.0/24, and the
client is also on a home LAN which is 192.168.1.0/24, you'll have
trouble.  (The kernel IP router will see the local net as the same as
the remote net, and may prefer the local route.)

  Any third-party firewall software installed on the client?

Dialed into a RAS server, cannot ping past it.

[Marty Nelson]

Morning all;

I have a strange situation that I was drooped into mid-stream.  We have an XP 
machine dialing into a Windows 2000 RAS server (at a lightning fast 26.4K) and 
I can't seem to get past the RAS server.  I am able to ping its PPP address, as 
well as its LAN address, but I am unable to ping past it, even to its default 
gateway.  If I do a trace to the default gateway, traffic is dropped at the PPP 
address of the RAS server and that's it, we're done.

I've been looking over things, and don't see an obvious reason as to why it's 
not working.  I have the "Use the default gateway on remote server box 
checked", but it doesn't seem to be working.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Move from the tape library to USB thumb drives!

Well, I (like others have stated) would hope that they meant external usb hard

As I was reading this, I knew what would happen at the end. You nailed it.
Unless you expose your phone system to the net (never!) or manage to create 
site to site VPN's to you users homes, that's not going to work.
What a lot of people use in those cases are Soft Phones. Soft Phones run on 
your PC while  it is VPN'd in and offers most of the features of the phone. Ask 
about Soft Phones.

the user has taken home.

Well, me being the guinea pig that I am volunteered to take one of these phones

Goodmorning All,

 

I've been working on installing W2K Pro on a test box and I continually
receive an error during the setup process.

 

I am able to get to the portion of the CD install where it begins copying
files to the hard drive.  However, each time at about 17% or 18% of the
process I receive an error that a particular file cannot be copied to the
hard drive.  I can hit retry and the same message reappears.  The message
further states that there is something wrong with the CD and if the error
persists to call MS Support.

 

The test system is a P3/600 with 2 SCSI drives running off of an Adaptec
2940UW controller.  I have swapped all of the parts out:  SCSI cables, IDE
cable for the CD, the actual CD and I've also used 3 different copies of W2K
Professional on CD.

 

I really don't want to call MS.  Anyone have any suggestions?

 

TIA

 

Ron

Subject: IE6 released


You all may already know this, but IE6 is gone final and is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ .  There is a new IEAK6 as well.  One
thing that wasn't so clear was how to invoke a corporate download only
version of the setup.  After some diggin, here is the syntax to run after
you download the ie6setup.exe file.

ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""E#"

Oddly enough, there is no option to download for Win95. You can download
for any or all of the following:
Win98
WinNT 4.0 SP6a
Win 2000 or XP
WinME

Just thought there would be someone out there who wanted to know.

Just in the last couple of days we are having dramatic browsing slowdowns on
out NT4 network.

Whenevery I try adding printers or PC's to the domain, it takes several
minutes for the browse list to appear.  It never used to be that way.  Used
to be instantaneous.

I've already used Browser monitor to make sure the Master browser is the
corrrect one.  The only protocol configured on any of our workstations is
TCP/IP.

Anyone know what I can look for to troubleshoot this?

Check your CMOS and see if there are any options for floppy controller
address/irq/etc and make sure they are set to the motherboard defaults.
I'd give odds that the floppy controller is set in the BIOS to use
something NT can't recognize.

Barring that..

If you really need to use that motherboard, disable the floppy
controller in the BIOS (I'm ASSUMING this is an onboard controller) and
scrounge up or buy a floppy/io controller from somewhere and try with
that. That should work.

Something on your mb is either a little wierd or your CMOS settings are
strange. 

If it is something strange on the motherboard, I'd sure as hell find a
different motherboard to build a server around.

Did you check the Hardware Compatibility List for both of the floppies you
tried to use? Do those floppies work in other machines running W2K? If you
can boot from it, then all your cables are connected, your BIOS is cool with
it, so I would just make sure that the devices work under W2K. After that,
maybe there is an issue on the Motherboard itself that W2K isn't happy with.

I went ahead and installed W2K Pro, and the floppy shows up there...That

however, when I go to My Computer, the floppy does not show up.  It lists
all of my other drives, except A:.  I've reinstalled server, even installed

There's one policy that shuts off logoff on the start menu only (including
the ability to display the "Log Off Username" option) and a separate option
that gets all the other bases.  Actually, the second one said it turns off
the ability to log off the system in any manner, but it leaves the start
menu thing alone, so you have to disable it in both spots.

IIRC, one used to be able to set up a policy that would disable permission 
to shut down.  Doing this, it seems, also kept folks from logging off (as 
they had to hit "shut down" in order to log off). 

If this still holds, create a group for this user and apply this policy.

MOBO = Asus CUSL2-c (supports 512)
Processor = Intel 1 GHz
Mother board counts all 512 and starts to load 2k server = DUMPS,
2k server will load with 256mb.  This is a brand new box so we've tried
different mother board, processor, ram, drive, cd-rom , EVERYTHING to get
it to install.  Only successful install was with 256mb ram. After that
when we put in 2nd chip it craps out.  We remove chip and all is well.
We've flashed bios on adaptec card, mother board, we've ran diagnositcs on
every component.
I know this has to be issue with 2k and 512mb on the 815e chipset. 
However was wondering if someone else had run into this.  Other than that
I satisfied with all we've done to note this as an incompatibility
problem.

Hi all;

I could have sworn that this has been duscussed here before, but I'm
unable to find it in the archives.  I have a Del Poweredge server running
NT4 SP5 that has started to reboot itself every 20 minutes or so.  Does
anyone remember what the fix was?
