I have a second interview coming soon. Trying to look beyond all the technical and personal questions they ask to try to weed out a good candidate, and find out other questions I should be asking THEM. I interview well, and have impressed them a lot already. My goal here is to make sure the is a good fit for BOTH parties. I'm quite happy with my current job, but I need a bigger challenge and a more stable/profitable company. It's not driven by money, but it helps. About me (I post to this list somewhat frequently, but changed my name to avoid coming up in Google searches by my current employer). 11 years experience Going from a shop of about 25 users at a 24/7 company to a shop of 120 employees at a 8-5 company. Here are a few questions I have been brainstorming. Any advice is appreciated!!! Questions: Advantages of working here? What do you like about working here? Would there be any objection to consulting for my previous employer? I wouldn't want to leave them high and dry. What are things your organization has done recently to show how it values its employees? How long was the previous Sys Admin employed here? (Has there been a lot of turnaround?) What were the major strengths and weaknesses of the last person who held this job? What are your current IT Struggles/Projects? What are the most immediate challenges of the position that need to be addressed in the first three months? What are the training and development opportunities? How many people are at Help Desk level and how skilled are they? How often do Help Desk tickets get escalated to the Sys Admin role? Are there any reservations you have about my fit for the position that I could try to address? Technical: Which Hardware Vendor? Virtualization Platform? What are your uptime requirements on critical servers like email? Do you have a current maintenance window? Do you have systems that need to be accessed by clients 24/7/365? Current Disaster Recovery methodology? How often is it tested? What are your Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objectives? Mobile Device Management? Phone platform? Vendor? How well solid is the Network Documentation? Can I see some diagrams/maps/examples? ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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
Re: A Little Help Needed
if we are talking about Windows domains (when you refer to domain 1 and 2), as long as you can reach the Domain controller from 192.168.101.x network you should be fine. For that you probably need to add a route to your router to reach from 192.168.101.x to 192.168.100.x network.

We have two domains, I'll call them domain 1 and 2, they are in two physical locations. Domain 1 is on subnet 192.168.100.1, domain 2 is on 192.168.101.1. There is a VPN tunnel between the two that connects the two domains and allows us to have a trust between the two. We want to eliminate domain 2. We already have a domain 1 DC on the domain 2 LAN. The issue we are having is how to get the desktops in domain 2 after the migration to domain 1 to continue on subnet 192.168.101.1 so the VPN tunnel continues to function how it is and so we don't run out of IP addresses. I've hit a roadblock on how to handle this and I would love some ideas.

file backup and DR
Hi, I´m looking for a free or open source tool to do file backups and system DR backups all in one. I found Drive XML and seems to do the job but before start installing and evaluating other software. My intention is to backup 3-4 machines at home and have a backup of our files and a DR just in case we need to reinstall. It doesn´t seem that there is any free or open source tool that fit the bill. Or they are just for file backups or just for DR backups (normally through a live CD or PXE). If I have to go for a commercial tool, at work we have tested BESR from Symantec and have those two things for a cheap price and also allows to recover an image of a machine over a different hardware.

Quite a while, I suspect. I'd guess that encrypting the
phone is going to be a very difficult proposition, if you
want the phone to actually work.
Something like Good's GFE would be useful, but it doesn't
cover a lot of what can be slurped by this device.
About the only thing I can think of (and I'm no expert, so
this is a wild guess) would be an easily removable memory
chip that would contain a key, and without which the phone
would be unusable. Then, the user/owner of the phone would
have to have the discipline to keep them separate until
needed, which is something not many are going to want to
do.

Re: Laptop Backup Software?
We have tested backup exec system recovery 2010 and it works like a champ. It's only meant to be for Windows machines. Full backups are quite well compressed and take not much time. you can configure it once and forget (you can rotate old backups). It can back up on an external USB disk or on a CIFS share. The impressive feature was that full backups can be used as a disaster recovery backup with a CD Symantec provides (an extra that you have to pay with a different licencing but it's worth it). The most impressive thing of the DR option is that you can even restore it on a different hardware (I tried from a Dell to a HP) and apart of installing new drivers, it works smoothly.

Re: OTish: SSDs and cool PCs
Maybe I'm wrong (I haven't played with SSD yet) but my understanding from a talk I got from Netapp engineers is that the lifetime of a SSD can be easily 3-4 years for their appliances so I assume SSDs for commercial PCs probably endure less time. If you do intensive writings on it, you can extenuate its lifetime very quick (swap files do very intensive writings on disks). I'd recommend him to buy a small SSD (maybe 20-30 Gb) and I'd put *only* the OS and maybe some software in the SSD and the rest (data + swap file) in a regular HD. SSD is probably going to get less writes than regular files and the swap file and the real gain is to run the OS and the software much quicker.

I've started with: InSSIDer Xirrus WifiMonitor gadget Ekahau Heatmapper I didn't put on PassMark's WirelessMon (it's only a 30-day eval, didn't want to be bothered with it.) I've also got the Android Wifi Analyzer app running on my phone. However, all of these are very limited, and are going to require lots of work to map my space, and to keep monitoring for rogue WAPs, etc. I'm aware of the Airtight, Cisco Clean Air, and several others, but I'm guessing they are way out of my price range, as their web sites all say ask for a quote. Ideally, I'd like to find an app that I could use to poll my WAPs and use them to map my space to locate any other WAPs inside my building and their SSIDs - I'm thinking that triangulation via signal strength measurement at the various WAPs could create a useful map. For instance, I've found two SSIDs that are operating in ad hoc mode, and two that are operating in infrastructure mode, with relatively strong signals, but I simply don't have the time to walk around and do a survey, especially when the Ekahau free product will only do a 15 minute survey at a time. I've got 15 Cisco 1240AG units, so something that interoperates with them would be ideal. Anyone know of any relatively inexpensive (or even free) apps that might do this?

download offline updates from SP3
Hi, I have an installation CD (Spanish) with SP3. For easy, safer and quick deployment I'd like to be able to download all the Windows updates since SP3 and either rebuild the installation CD or install them from an USB pendrive. I've seen there are third-parties that do that, but I'm not sure if those are safe or do the job. Microsoft seems to offer individual downloads for monthly security bulletins since 2005 or 2006 but I don't see a place where I can download the whole thing. Is there any standard Microsoft way of deploying offline or within the local network the whole installation with SP3 and the security updates?

excel .xlsx file in a SMB share in office 2003
Here is the story. A .xlsx Excel file from Office 2007. The file is under a samba share. I'm trying to open it from a Windows 2003 terminal server session with Office 2003 + compatibility pack. What it works: - copying that file to the local desktop and open it. Office 2003 converts it to a readable format. - Modify the document and change file name and copy it back to the share. So modify and write permissions are set. What it doesn't work: - Try to open it directly from the samba share. However Word documents from Office 2007 can be open from the samba share and converted on the fly. I have read somewhere in a blog where a guy had issues with Excel in Samba shares (only with Excel).

It's not that I'm comparing Linux with Mac OS, but considering is a BSD derivative, for a Unix guy, managing it, shouldn't be a cumbersome task. That's not the case, most of the times it works like a black box and getting deep into changing configuration files or doing command-line stuff is a PITA.

In the event viewer you see an event id 1042 and you can't install the software at all. We presume there are some permissions that need to be fixed but how can I track down something like this?

My job basically means I manage a team off 8 people and look after the service desk and support team, manage our external contracts and run any infrastructure projects we have eg WAN upgrades/Server consolidations etc... Anyway I've been looking to leave and have been offered 2 jobs. One is in the public sector as a Infrastructure Delivery Manager. The job involves managing a team of 20, with 3 direct reports, creating KPIs, improving uptime etc.. While the other one is a Infrastructure Project Manager for a private firm. The job involves running all infrastructure projects, no direct reports. Both jobs are good ones, the project manager job pay a few thousand more and has bonuses but has no pension/other benefits. While the public sector one includes final salary pension, more holidays. I'm really having a difficult time choosing which one to take and I was hoping you guys could share your thoughts on it.

XP SP3 machine not getting logon window
Dear all, I'm running out of ideas. I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that boots up but you reach the point just before you get the explorer.exe logon welcome window so I get the mouse pointer a complete blue screen but it goes no further. If I try safe mode, it doesn't go further either (but you get a beautiful black screen with the Safe mode text all around). Since i could access offline the event log files with a Windows live CD, I saw an ID=20 error related to google update, I disabled that service but no love. I have disabled some other services like SQL Server express, remove last security updates and still nothing. Any ideas I can try?

RE: Backing up SAN to tape
If you are a small shop, I'd buy a cheap NAS for backing it up. Or even a server/PC with swappable big SATA drives that you can take offsite if you need to.As Brian stated, using a tape to a NAS can be pricey and cumbersome. We have Netbackup over here and works like a champ.I'm not sure over there in the US, but LTO5 is not in the market yet.Miguel--- El jue, 24/6/10, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com escribió:De: Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.comAsunto: RE: Backing up SAN to tapePara: "NT System Admin Issues" ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.comFecha: jueves, 24 de junio, 2010 03:00Pick your poison with that stuff – none of them are exactly great to deal with. I have a lot more experience with BE so that’d be where I’d lean as a matter of convenience, personally. That said just to check here you realize there’s some hardware investment here and quite likely licensing on the SAN side depending on what you bought. Also depending on the apps you’re looking at potentially doing backups with agents from the hosts themselves so you’re not streaming all this stuff over the SAN to the network than back out to tape. You’re also going to need to get the tape drives on the SAN probably which is a hardware investment likely in excess of what you’re proposing. This isn’t cheap if you intend to do it in a remotely scalable fashion.

Yes, I know it would take forever to restore several terabytes of data, but I’d like to have some sort of “oh, crap! My san died” back up. J Speed of restore is not an issue, simply being able to restore is the issue. I’m looking at a Dell LTO5 tape library and the two options for backup software that *they* offer are CommVault and Symantec Backup Exec. Which of those two would you prefer to use, and which *specific* variety of the specified software would you recommend for backing up a SAN? We will likely be using the SAN for the back-end storage for email (eventually,) but will likely NOT be using MS Exchange (we’re a small shop – less than 200 email addresses, and Exchange is too pricey for us!) We will likely be using Kerio Mail Server whenever we bring email in-house. Other than that, it’s mainly going to be people’s “My Documents” redirected to the shared storage on the SAN, install archives for software and such.

Re: How long to get a server?
Unfortunately, at least in my country, Spain, Dell orders take forever too. Others manufacturers have the same issue. Although maybe not in this case (it's meant to be still under the building process) the overall situation quite related with the outsourcing thing. Support, maintenance and logistics are outsourced sometimes with more than one layer of subcontracting and sometimes things get forever to arrive. With some manufacturers even they send the technician and the piece of hardware separately and although the technician is on site, the spare isn't, ending up sometimes in the technician having to leave our site and rescheduling the downtime. Really bad! Regarding your DR thing, if you have more than one building might be a good idea of having spare machines, maybe without hard drives (and/or RAM)...Hard drives take less to arrive... If you haven't another building maybe you can ask for getting a safer somewhere outside your building and put there those spares... Just an idea...

I ordered two servers (nothing special) from Dell for a small business that I am supporting. Rep said it would take 7-14 days max to build and would then overnight the servers to me. That was a month and a half ago. We have got 4 notices that the servers have been delayed. At this point they are 1 month late and we just got another delayed notice. Just checking to see if this is within what you all would consider a acceptable time frame for getting a servers. I have recently started on a Disaster Recovery plan that if our building should burn down or servers get stolen that we would order new ones from Dell, however if the business was down for a month and a half while we were waiting for servers I would be out of a job.. Going to have to rethink the DR plan for servers as I guess getting new ones in a day or two is out of the question I wander if I would get faster service if I was an Enterprise size company instead of an SMB Thanks Matt ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: How long to get a server?
My experience with HP support in the US was a nightmare. You go through all the globe to get a support, starting in India, then going through China and then to Costa Rica. The truth is that Dell support (specially online) is more serious. I can't say the same thing about Dell support in Spain (I lived in the US before) since support is on the phone and they go in circles until they send a techinician on site (and we are big company, in the US I worked for a SMB). In the SMB in the US, Once we bought apart of our proliants a new Storage All-in-one with SATA drives that was targeted to SMBs. The performance was no good and after troubleshooting they said they had to replace the battery of the RAID card. After replacing it some of the partitions disappeared. It took me days on the phone to get an HP technician (the previous one was just a contractor) and he admitted he had no idea what went wrong. He secretly admitted that HP was buying other companies cheap and re-brand their products (specially for SMB) with no heavy testing before going on production. They gave three firmware upgrades in a few months and still the machine was not stable.

So how long does it take to get a server after you order one? I ordered two servers (nothing special) from Dell for a small business that I am supporting. Rep said it would take 7-14 days max to build and would then overnight the servers to me. That was a month and a half ago. We have got 4 notices that the servers have been delayed. At this point they are 1 month late and we just got another delayed notice. Just checking to see if this is within what you all would consider a acceptable time frame for getting a servers. I have recently started on a Disaster Recovery plan that if our building should burn down or servers get stolen that we would order new ones from Dell, however if the business was down for a month and a half while we were waiting for servers I would be out of a job.. Going to have to rethink the DR plan for servers as I guess getting new ones in a day or two is out of the question I wander if I would get faster service if I was an Enterprise size company instead of an SMB Thanks Matt -- Sherry Abercrombie Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Re: How long to get a server?
I'm curious, when you phoned HP support you didn't have to go through several levels of support? I had even issues that the technician didn't confuse an all-in-one storage server with an all-in-one printer :) When you use the chat option in Dell you don't have to go those levels of support since you already say through the service tag which kind of machine you are trying to get support to. I second the person who has said that you get bad and good experiences with support companies. We all agree that companies are reluctant of sending a technician on site and try the approach of do-it-by-yourself-we-send-you-the-spare-part. However, adding those levels of complexity when getting support makes the overall support experience really bad. On the other hand I have to say that getting the salesman (an intermediate company that was our provider for all IT purchases) on the loop speed up the process and get HP (no contracting guys) technicians to try to solve the issue. However not being able to determine the cause of error sounds no good. My believe is that in the old times maintenance was much better and all companies have been through a deteriorated system and unhappy end users.

The performance was no good and after troubleshooting they said they had to replace the battery of the RAID card. After replacing it some of the partitions disappeared. It took me days on the phone to get an HP technician (the previous one was just a contractor) and he admitted he had no idea what went wrong.

RE: The future is here
Socialism? Sorry but Canada has a public health care system and i don't think Canada is suspect of being a socialist country. Neither any of the Europeans countries. I remember reading about the collapse of General Motors retirement system. It simply worked when lot of workers were working for the company and automation wasn't as spread as it it now. It collapsed when the rate of people actually paying and being paid was too small. Sorry but it's not a question of being socialist, it's a question of statistics, efficiency and getting more from your bucks. And sorry, the general idea that taxing in Europe is much bigger than in the US is completely wrong. Where I'm from, Spain, taxing is around 20-25% like it is in the US. We get in return public education system (college can be $1,500 a year) and public health care (one of the best systems - actually Obama came to visit Spain to learn how it worked) and more importantly with less litigation for medical errors as you guys do in the US. Why? Because the system is more efficient. I know that the general American mindset is that paying more will get you a better service in return. It's an equation that is not always true. When it comes about hospitals, there are some articles on the internet which explain turn digital all medical records avoid lot of mistakes. I was impressed of learning how many medical errors were done just because the nurse didn't know the right dosis because it was hand written or swapped medications with some patients for not keeping the information right. When I lived in the US, I had to admit that salaries were much higher than in my country (not true with other EU countries) but I was horrified to learn how much could cost to raise a kid. European welfare system is far of being perfect, but there are things that people shouldn't renounce (public education and public health care). It just makes your life easier, specially when you get retired and you have a few money and probably need more fixing than when you are young :) Miguel --- El dom, 11/10/09, Thomas W Shinder tshin...@tacteam.net escribió: De: Thomas W Shinder tshin...@tacteam.net Asunto: RE: The future is here Para: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Fecha: domingo, 11 octubre, 2009 2:10 I think that's the ticket.

With the drives being so fast restoring through 3-4 usb drives isn't really a big deal, not like waiting 30 mins for cataloging a tape.. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
can't mount usb drives without admin permissions
An user has reported that can't mount USB drives without admin permissions (he is a regular user). I'm going to check his local policies but anyone has ever seen something like this? Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
RE: can't mount usb drives without admin permissions
I've googled a bit and seems that i'm not the first one seeing this.
The funny thing is that I'm required admin credentials but if i cancel, i can
still access the data. It seems that it requires the admin credential to
install the software? That's a little bit weird, isn't it?
I have tried to change local policies and allowing to format and eject
removable devices as some people suggest, but no love...
Any ideas?

Software for some built in

something along those lines. It is on the thumb drive with
an

consider disabling the

Find the software on the drive and
runas it for him and install it, should only need to be done
once. Or tell the user to hit cancel, their type of
thumbdrive isn't supported. Depends what your policy is on
that kind of stuff.
Or fdisk/delete the software installation for them if they
don't need the software, get rid of it for them.

optiplex 755 random reboots
Hi all, We have an Optiplex that is mysteriously rebooting by itself.. We change a setting of the Intel MT NIC, motherboard and reinstall OS (RedHat 5.x). We suspect that it could be the CPU that is rebooting the machine before it could get burnt or maybe a failing power supply. Do you guys know of any live CD (Windows or linux based) to run a stress test on the CPU? (it's a quad core) Thanks, Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Re: log parsing
thank you very much for your answers. You were completely right, i was running regedit and not regedt32, which I didn't know that it existed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have checked the security settings and only administrators have the right to access it. But still, if i don't enable the remote service, there is no way to access it (I thought that I could locally). So, as you both have said, i could enable remote registry service without any security concern? Regards, Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

To avoid further security issues I've set the service to manual and start it to run the logparser program and stop it just right after.

log parsing
Hi, I'm trying to run a script that uses logparser.exe and send by email changes seen in the event viewer in a Windows 2K machine. The scripts fails to connect to the registry getting Error connecting to registry on server X. If I manually start the service remote registry, then the script works. However this is a critical machine and I've read around that allowing the remote registry service can be risky. So I came across this article from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153183/EN-US/ and I tried to add the Users entry in the registry using regedit. Unfortunately adding an entry for the administrator didn't work (neither using administrator nor capitalizing using Administrator). Also the article states Select winreg. Click Security and then click Permissions. Add users or groups to which you want to grant access. I don't where I can click on security on this version of regedit. Questions: - Is really a security risk running the remote registry service? - How can I bypass and allow just certain users (administrators for instance) to access the registry? thanks in advance, Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: Stolen PC
You can report to Dell the machine as stolen. My ex-girlfriend got her laptop stolen and the police told us that if someone calls asking for help they will report it to the police. It will be confiscated even if you weren't the person to steal it. So good advice is to call the OEM to make sure the machine is not reported as stolen. Also there are some websites where people report machines as stolen. If you get your machine stolen, you can always call the pawn shops around and ask about the service tag or serial number to see if they got that machine or someone has been trying to sell it to them.

They're basically big, solid chunks of metal. And wiping the HD is no big deal for any of us, but a computer stolen from the school district where I work isn't likely to be stolen by an IT pro. It's going to be stolen by a student, and employee, or someone wanting to make a quick buck at a pawn shop. Students are pretty comfortable with technology, but 99.9% of them have no clue about the inner workings of it--so things like BIOS passwords and jumpers are foreign to them. Employees are even more clueless, and the types of employees we've had involved in thefts in the past have tended to be the least educated of our crew. Which leaves the pawn shop guy.

NFS case sensitive files in Linux and Windows
Dear all, We have a NFS filesystem imported from a Windows machine and a Linux machine. If we create a text file called test.txt from Linux with content 1 and then create afterwards a file called TEST.txt from Linux with content 2, if you try to open any of those files from the Windows machine, it will show both of them with content 1. If I try to open TEST.txt from the linux box, it reports that this file doesn't exist, although I can see from the Windows box. This come from a test trying to perform a Netbackup restore of NFS filesystems in a Linux box. The restore is not case sensitive so any file that is lower case or upper case is restored as one single file. The reason why we are using Linux to perform the restore is because our Netbackup server is Linux and would require to perform restores from client machines the requirement of performing netbackup restores from Windows machines.

RE: NFS case sensitive files in Linux and Windows
Thanks for your answer. I have been given more accurate info and I was a bit wrong of the assumptions. The main issue is that backing up from the Windows machine the NFS export (as local filesystem) from Netbackup is causing that anything case sensitive written from POSIX machines (Unix/Linux) is just considered as just one file. Backing up such exported NFS filesystem from a Linux machine takes 4 times more (40 MB/s vs 8 MB/s) Can you point me to documents of such Windows kernel tuning? We are wondering if changing something in the OS level could change the behavior of Netbackup running on Windows and performing restores case sensitive. This makes sense?

remote inventory and installs
Hi, We have a Windows workgroup (i hope not having AD is not a big issue for this) and We'd like to know which machines have a specific AV and replace it with a different one.

do i have a virus?
Hi, Two days ago our printers disappeared from our windows xp machine. After trying to add them again, we got an error that we couldn't run because printer spooler is not running. When I went to start the printer spooler, I got an error saying that it couldn't be run (error 1804). After googling a bit, some people said that we could have viruses on the machine. We have symantec installed, and after scanning we got some viruses that were quarantined. We tried to uninstall Symantec and install McAfee but now we get an error saying that the windows installer cannot be run. Microsoft recommends reregister the windows installer (which we have done) and if it doesn't work, rename dlls and the windows installer and install it again. Since I don't trust very much this reinstall of the windows installer as a solution, anyone can give me any hint of what might be happening or we should check beforehand? Thanks in advance Miguel ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
RE: do i have a virus?
I'm trying for now with Kaspersky online scanner and TrendMicro online scanner. Unfortunately I get a warning when i try to install any AV saying that the sysadmin (I'm the sysadmin!) policies don't let me to install this software. Kaspersky is at 80% and have found several trojans... Miguel --- El mié, 22/10/08, Martin Blackstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: De: Martin Blackstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: RE: do i have a virus?

RE: do i have a virus?
Ok, I'm finding some suspicious cookies and some trojans. However, after cleaning up with some of this free tools I can't still add a printer, restart the printer spooler or the windows installer service. Since this machine has automatic windows updates, I'm fearing that a windows update could have triggered this issue. And answering the people, I need to know what has happened to avoid this could spread to other computers in the network.

cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003
Hi, I have a SBS 2003 server that is running out of space in the C drive. I have performed almost everything already in that drive: - Move pagefile.sys file to other partition. - Move Sharepoint databases to other partition. - The Exchange databases are already moved. So basically all data is in other partitions. Also our TrendMicro AV is installed in other partition. Removing log files from c:\windows\system32\logfiles and using the cleanup tool from Windows has been enough for months since I performed a reassignment of more space to that drive. I could reassign more space again bringing the machine offline but I'd prefer not to do it, plus I don't know why is running out of space now. Anything that I should look at? Or any tips? I have read that I could move the uninstall files for Windows updates but I'd prefer not start messing up with that stuff. Thanks Miguel __ Correo Yahoo!

RE: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003
Thank you for the responses. Ccleaner reported that could clean up about 300 Mb of logs, cookies and other minor stuff. However, after running it, still the C drive doesn't show that space clean up. Why? Do I need to reboot the server?
