Now I have to wonder if the lists were being shutdown at all and if Stu's email 
was just a ploy to get folks over to his own list. (which he never left

realize that by not having enough “balls” Sorry ladies of the list. To come

What gets me the most is GFI never had any problems in the past posting to the

As for myself I have no interest in your products and plan to share what has

Three years?  Wow.  I ran Bluecats a while ago and the conversion was actually 
pretty easy.  We had a DNS server for both windows and *nix and the dhcp aspect 
annoyed the *nix people.

We did eventually switch to infoblox when they came in with a deal which was 
too good to ignore.

Good luck with the BLuecat products.  We have been working with them for a 
couple of years with the end goal of having the Windows DNS and DHCP in that 
system.  And after 3 years it has not happened and looks like management is 
done with trying.  So for now it all stays on the Windows side, and now that 
Windows 2012 has a true DHCP failover I do not see a need to move it away.

RE: Office 2013 retail tied to single PCs

Indeed.  Adobe does that.   We went looking for photoshop for my wife and her 
new Mac.  It was about $1000.  You could get it from the cloud for a monthly 
fee with an annual commitment.  Price was about the same as the old cost and 
they promise instant patching.   It's a sweet deal for adobe.  You are 
basically buying it every year and you are paying them for you to QA the 
software.

 Some cloud services will (for an extra fee) overnight a DVD of your

 As for liabilities – I’d probably consult with your lawyers (not the

 solid contract with them laying out what you are, and aren’t

RE: PC/server management

2013-01-15 Thread Mathew Shember
What kind of a footprint does Kace introduce to a system?

I have many engineers who are literally cycle counters and will notice just 
about anything installed and start complaining about wasted resources.

They run the servers hard and like them lean as possible.

The Kace people have been after me to allow them on the engineering servers.

Folks,

Looking for recommendations for pc/server management (Windows devices only at 
this time).  At my last job I used Kace appliances and they were great.  I am 
looking at those this time but thought I'd ask the list for additional 
suggestions.

At my new job we  have System Center Essentials 2007.  It's not so good but it 
is old and I understand that product is EOL.

Looking for:  patch distribution/management, inventorying, reporting, ability 
to create granular groups based on factors like IP, machine type, AD 
memberships, OU location, software deployment, and remote control (not super 
important since we already own a product for this).  Embedded help desk, even 
if basic, would be a bonus.  This place doesn't have one currently.

This would be for about 350 nodes.   Can be appliance, vmware machine, or even 
hosted.  As long as it does what I need.

Thanks,

The hard part is just to get it going.  The more you do it; the easier it gets. 
 Also, don’t get discouraged if you don’t have hits.  They do happen.  
Especially, if you write about things which are hot.

The ever present CCNA and CCNP.  At the moment I am out of the networking areas 
but will probably reup.

Vmware.  Any value to VCP?

Citrix?

Any other areas?

Desktop to me is just that; a desktop machine such as the Dell Precession.

We looked at VDI and basically what we were going to save in desktop/laptop

However, I could see the tablets and the cloud replacing the need for laptops.

 There are a number of pundits pushing the notion that desktop

 portable offerings available than desktop machine options, but with a higher

RE: Offline/online detection

2012-08-15 Thread Mathew Shember
Just install MOC!  :p

You might use lastlogon from the DCs.   I remember the scripting guy blog 
having something on it. 

Ahh found it:

Subject: Offline/online detection

What's the best way to detect whether a user is offline or online (I.e. 
Connected to the corporate network)? I thought maybe query the %logonserver% 
variable but that might also apply to online situations where a DC cannot be 
contacted for whatever reason. I'm sure there must be a way, wondering if 
anyone has any ideas they can throw out?


TIA,

No, you are not overthinking this.

It's not extremely complicated, but it's very good to do all of your reading 
and get your ducks all in a row before you start this.

I went with a two-tier installation - the root CA is a VM that's shut down and 
copied to a portable disk, and is not a member of the domain.

Make sure that you note when your CRL expires, so that you can bring up your 
root CA in time to generate a new one.

If you want to get more depth on the subject, I recommend this book (only 
available as an ebook, unfortunately):

 We will be installing Microsoft Lync here very soon and I need to have 
 a certificate authority running.  To date, we’ve not had a need to 
 stand one up and from the research I’ve done, it seems there are a 
 number of ways to go – three tier, two, standalone.



 Our needs are for Lync, maybe some certs for some smart phones and 
 some internal software we’ve written so it’s not a complicated system 
 from our perspective.  At least not for the short term.  I obviously 
 don’t want to do something that I’ll regret later and was looking for 
 some advice from other who have traveled these roads and learned what to do, 
 and what not to do.



 From my research, I think a two tier system will work but I’m not real 
 clear at this point how you have an offline CA (for security purposes) 
 and subordinate CA’s to hand our certs.  Still reading up on all that.



 Am I overthinking all this as my Lync installer suggests?  He said 
 that I should just install the certificate role on a DC and that would 
 be that.  I think they might be better at installing and configuring 
 Lync than they are at designing certificate authorities as my research 
 indicates doing that is not the best way to go.

 Can anyone share their experiences as time is short and I need to 
 decide what CA to stand up.



 Any advice would be appreciated.



 Thanks

My passphrases are properly formatted sentences. We use IM here internally a

On the plus side:
If I inadvertently type Long passwords are stupid! into the wrong IM window 
it's not immediately obvious that the wrong window received the input, vs. say 
$eptember01

The downside:
Some scanners scan-to-SMB will fail if the password is longer than 15

   All,
  
   Our engineers have finally convinced management that they need a 
   better
  tool than wireshark for their needs.
  
   I am familiar with wireshark and the netmon tools, using them 
   once in a
  while to track problems, but don't have any experience with the 
  high end tools like Fluke's OptiView stuff.
  
   These folks are designing and testing VoIP/SIP applications, 
   possibly in the
  future involving wifi.
  
   Does anyone here have experience with this kind of thing, and can
  recommend a particular piece of equipment?
  
   I'm sure I'll get a bit of benefit from this, as it'll be a major 
   purchase for the
  company and they won't be using it all the time, so while IT won't 
  be spending its departmental money on it, we are being asked for 
  recommendations.
  
   Thanks,
  
   Kurt

Oh pshaw.   Sticky notes are not very green.  The bottom of the keyboard takes 
care of that.

I remember horrifying a user by looking underneath.

What was funny; she wrote it in silver ink as the keyboard was black.

Uh, yeah they are, if they're not stored in a secure place.  Sticky notes, by 
design, are meant to be placed somewhere convenient to the user, which, to me, 
suggests somewhere out in the open.  That's completely different from a sheet 
of paper containing some common passwords necessary to certain functions being 
in a locked file cabinet, with a limited set of users of said file cabinet 
having keys.
So writing passwords down isn't necessarily bad, based on where the data is 
actually stored and how it is secured.  Writing on a sticky note suggests that 
the data isn't well secured, and that storage is accessible to someone who can 
easily see the contents of your work area.  Do you have external cleaning 
staff?  Or heck, even internal after hours cleaning staff?  How can you be sure 
that the password hasn't been used by them?

easy-to-remember way to pack dozens of characters into the string that

Oh it's not that bad.

It's not like there are people here waiting to pounce on any stupid or lazy 
questions.  Most of the time they are ignored or simply giving enough 
information to people on their way.

Even with a perceived lazy stupid question, I have seen the tones change once 
it's understood the person is genuinely lost.  Or once in my case an attacker 
changed tones when he learned I had been up for 29 hours.

Some might argue we have a couple vulgarians but this is not a work 
environment.  You have to look past the profanity and see what is being said.

As to unprofessional?  That definition varies and even then this is an

2012-03-13 Thread Mathew Shember
Indeed.

I remember a long time ago, my uncle would stock up on Coors whenever he 
visited.  Why?  Because they didn’t have it in Michigan at the time and it was 
considered a delicacy.

He stopped drinking it when they finally started selling there.  Said it was 
only interesting because you couldn’t find it.  ☺

+1 on Youngs and also found Shiner Bock interesting.

Most American major brands (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc.) are swill, not lager.

OTOH, there are a *lot* of smaller brands with good stouts, porters, IPAs and 
others.

I'm particularly fond of some of the Stone offerings, and Young's Chocolate

Heck, I also like Shiner Bock.

Copied WIM file exploded on reboot

2012-03-08 Thread Mathew Shember
This was a weird one.

For various reasons, I had an install which required use of a USB stick.

I copied the WIM to the C drive; applied it and rebooted.   It would fail.   
Watching safe mode; it would fail just after disk.sys.

After a doh moment.  I applied it directly from the USB stick and it worked.

Being this was a rare occurrence; I did not look for a reason for the failure.

Anybody seen this one before or know the reason?

Thanks,
Mathew

 to the implementation of the SCSI II protocol.

 I don't know if this limitations affects its use as a NAS, but that's

 And, otherwise, it's performed just fine - no problems at all.

 Does anyone out there now if other EMC products have this limitation?

The SSL part might be considered.  If it's not enabled, the laptops might have 
it enabled.

Try the commandline bind approach as well.

I've got a new-ish (January) EMC VNXe 3100, and have run into a troubling 
limitation - in use as an iSCSI device, it doesn't support LUNs larger than 
1.99tb. According to a post by EMC staff on their community forum, it's doe to 
the implementation of the SCSI II protocol.

I don't know if this limitations affects its use as a NAS, but that's

And, otherwise, it's performed just fine - no problems at all.

Does anyone out there now if other EMC products have this limitation?

 Well this is one of those scenarios where I think the customer needs
 to take responsibility. A good practice to get into is the creation of 
 technical
 requirement matrices and business requirement matrices. It helps you put
 on paper what capabilities you need in a solution and gives the vendor a
 uniform method of informing you of the strengths and weaknesses of their
 platform. We typically tier our requirements into 3 categories that allows us 
 to
 weigh the importance of features. For example, a tier 1 requirement might be
 that the solution support fiber channel or iscsi where a tier 2 or 3 
 requirement
 might be support for sub-lun tiering or a 64bit OS to leverage larger cache.
This is EMC for crying out loud - arguably the leader in the field,
and it's a software issue. We're not talking about going with lesser
hardware, which can steeply influence the costs. As well, I was given
to understand that this is a relatively new line for them. They have
the software in hand, and my 4 year old Lefthands don't have this
limitation. I do place this 99% on them (split in some fashion between
EMC and the reseller). I'll hand the 1% to my manager, who had used
them before, doesn't like the Lefthands, and trusted the reseller rep
he's worked with at his prior company. I was given no say in the
matter - I suggested another LH unit.

 It may be too little too late but I'd be happy to share the template we used 
 for our last storage purchase.
That might actually be a nice thing - we might not technically outgrow

doing a whole lot more with it, given that limitation, and the other

We had ePO - it was one of the driving reasons for us to abandon it.
The other reason was the unreasonable amount of resources the client sucked out 
of the workstations. Yet another reason was the price - we got VIPRE Enterprise 
for the renewal price of McAfee, and the renewal price on VIPRE was hard to 
beat.

Hard to say which reason topped the others - kind of a 3-way tie...

We found that it didn't actually push the clients out as we wanted - it was

- and was *very* slow to update client definitions.

The interface was not intuitive, either.

It's been about 3 years since I worked with it, so it might have gotten better, 
but I still won't recommend it.

You may not have seen this, but Symantec has advised all its users of
pcAnywhere to literally turn it off, and wait for security patches. It's
old code and it was stolen in 200g and was not updated much. There are
several vulnerabilities in encoding and encryption. Here is the white

 I currently have 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.0.256 and 192.168.1.1 – 192168.1.256

 with a subnet Mask of 255.255.254.0. If I change the subnet to
 255.255.252.0, can I then simply add:

 192.168.2.0 – 192.168.2.256 and 192.168.3.0 – 192.168.3.256?
Aside from the fact that you should not use 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0
[1], you will at that point have a single subnet of 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.3.255, with 192.168.0.0 being your subnet address and
192.168.3.254 being your broadcast address.


Kurt

[1] Too much consumer and other equipment uses those to /24 subnets as
their default, and people don't tend to change them. Thus, using them
is not a good idea, especially if you have people connecting via VPN
to your environment.

Property rights should never be absolute.

I had neighbor who decided he was going to make his own fuel.   His “rights” 
were violated when the local authorities were notified and he was shut down by 
the fire marshal.The fire marshal mentioned his “gerry rigged” setup would 
have eventually exploded and would burned down a couple houses in the process.

If you want us all to be more precise, I'll restate:

Laws and regulations that inhibit the free exercise of individual's rights to 
their own property and right of contract (and by individuals I don't mean 
corporations), deny the ability of the participants in the marketplace (i.e., 
those who are buying and selling) to gain a correct signal in regard to supply

Management of an e-reader is WAY simpler than management of a PC, though 
(assuming the e-reader has enterprise management tools, which remains a huge

A couple of years ago, we had a one-to-one laptop initiative with all of our 
8th and 9th grade students. It was extremely labor-intensive; no matter how 
tightly we locked down the computers, there was always some way kids could 
screw them up. And battery life was constantly an issue.

Basic e-readers will obviously do much less than PCs, but there's also a lot 
less to go wrong with them. They're much more feasible for schools.

Recently received a kindle and am liking it.   Eye strain is non-existent for 
me.

E-books are an interesting price wise.You can find a paper back for $7 and 
the kindle version is $19

Tech book wise they seem to be the same.

My wife is getting excited at the thought of the tech library getting smaller.

Only thing missing is that paper smell.

We haven't tested the devices with kids yet. We don't want to put the cart 
before the horse; it we test and like a particular reader but the textbook 
companies don't offer their content in a format that works on it, we're out of 
luck. Ditto if the company that makes the e-reader doesn't provide a mechanism 
for centralized management.

Florida recently passed a new law requiring migration to e-books in the coming

From my own personal experience with a Kindle, eye strain shouldn't be an issue

Management of an e-reader is WAY simpler than management of a PC, though 
(assuming the e-reader has enterprise management tools, which remains a huge 
assumption).

A couple of years ago, we had a one-to-one laptop initiative with all of our 
8th and 9th grade students. It was extremely labor-intensive; no matter how 
tightly we locked down the computers, there was always some way kids could 
screw them up. And battery life was constantly an issue.

Basic e-readers will obviously do much less than PCs, but there's also a lot 
less to go wrong with them. They're much more feasible for schools.

RE: Apple newbie - iPad remote access to server shares

2011-08-23 Thread Mathew Shember
A short and simple example is the question of company provided versus bring 
your own

If you allow the users to provide their own, you have no control over what they 
put on them or bring into your network.   

Keep in mind this my lack of caffeine scraggily memory but there was a recent 
event of an attack via PDF.

There are solutions such as in my case you can isolate them by giving them 
their own network and use citrix to grant them access to stuff.

What about company confidential files?   iPad gets stolen.

They are very useful tools but if somebody says just give them wireless 
access you could very well regret that.

As far as the concern that there are not the apps or tools to be able

a great opportunity for some developer on this list to create a set of
tools and, potentially make some money.

By year's end, I expect to see a lot more questions from this list (and others)

If you insist on using a tablet exactly as a PC (or even a laptop), then you'll 
be sorely disappointed.

Most people who adopt them (tablets) use the new tool differently from the old 
tool.

It's not like most people with laptops in a corporate environment are actually 
using a reasonable percentage of its inherent advantages.   Additionally, many 
people are using their smart phones which are even more inconvenient than 
tablets, to accomplish some of the work they used to perform on PCs.  Tablets 
give them a *richer* experience, from this standpoint, hence the growing 
adoption rate.

I'm pretty sure that is we substitute PC for tablet and go back 16-20 
years, there'd be no distinguishing the arguments being used.

Yet, here we are.

 Not really - they just morphed into the IT staff of today - server

 Perhaps. I've yet to be convinced.

  Teachers and administrators are very interested in tablets because they

  content!

 The SJRDF is strong, 'tis true. I think the only advantage they show
 is weight, and a multi-touch screen. For viewing content, a larger
 screen gives better resolution, and for real distribution you still
 need the servers on the back end. The capabilities are still lacking,
 and the price is still too high.

  I think that will depend on how things go down.  One hopes HP will want their 
customers taken care of.

  Before I started at %WORK%, they were buying Gateway PCs.  I put a stop to 
that as soon as I could, but there were plenty around I still had to support.  
Then Gateway sold their business PC division to MPC.
The warranties and support contracts basically evaporated.  MPC said call 
Gateway, Gateway said call MPC, I got nothing.

  Shockingly, that division soon went out of business.  It's almost like their 
customers didn't trust them anymore.  Whodathunkit?

 I had a customer who had a LaserJet II in service as of a few years

Subject: What do you do when things go quiet?

When you finish a major project and there's nothing specific on the horizon, 
what sort of things do you do to improve the services that you offer your 
customers?

I'm conscious of how I word this as I certainly don't want to come across as 
complacent or as if there isn't a constant trickle of things to be getting on 
with, but some things can't be done simply due to money (upgrade entire 
business to Windows 7  Office 2010 isn't going to happen) you can reach a 
point where, until the next bunch of patches and updates come along, the SAN 
works, vSphere works, Windows works, plus there are limits on what you can do 
in working hours due to impact.

I can always find a stream of things to do such as researching future 
replacement hardware/software but I'm interested in the things you do to 
improve the services you offer the business and your users/customers.

I've probably not worded that fantastically, but hopefully you get the idea.

Any ideas on why this is reported?   So far it's happened once and of course

Excel was never a strong point for me.

I have a user with a rather cpu intensive routine.

She has her script reporting cpus at the bottom.

She got concerned when her sheet reported 4 cpus.The two servers she 
uses(terminal servers in a citrix setup) both have 2 quad cores.  I checked the 
hardware and the cpus are fine.

Any ideas on why this is reported?   So far it's happened once and of course 
she wants to know why...

I love Dell. But I must agree, the rep leaves me feeling ... uncared for.

But, I make my own EQuotes using Dell's Premier page. If an option isn't there, 
I ask my rep to turn the option on:

Me: Hey, can I get the option to install your 128 SSD on the Optiplex 390?
Rep: Uh, yeah. You want that option turned on?
Me: Yes. I want all my options turned on, please.
Rep: Okay!

Then he turns on the one option I asked for... and nothing else, so I have to 
ask again.

*sigh* Oh well, it's better than the configuration I can do on HP's site.

 My rep, rather.
 And, yes, I have contacted her boss.  Especially since he was so 
 insistent that I sign up for surveys to tell him how they're doing.
 Except I skipped the signing up with survey part.
 
 Trouble is, the quote comes back wrong.  Again.  After her boss got 
 involved.  I'm about done.
