Thanks everyone.  I'm downloaded Treesize and I like it!

Ideally, we'd like to archive all files that haven't been accessed in the past

GPO  - Always wait for the network at computer startup.
Would this setting work for you, it won't let any other services start until 
the network is available.  Most people turn in on anyway because it solves a

RE: DNS settings for Trusts

[N Parr]

So here's what I think is happening, still awaiting confirmation from other 
site admin.
Everything you asked below is exactly how I'm set up.
What I discovered is they have a dozen or so DNS servers at their main and 
other remote sites which are all connected via their MPLS links.  I'm 
connecting in via a VPN tunnel.  Pretty sure my VPN tunnel only has access to 
the core subnet where their main DNS is at that I'm already successfully 
exchanging zone information with.  When their zone populates with their SRV 
records it loads all their DC's for all their sites, and they are all weighted 
equally.  Therefore when I try to ping their "domain.local" I get random 
responses from the various DC's they have, most of which I can't connect to 
because I'm guessing the VPN tunnel isn't allowing traffic to any subnet other 
than the core.  I've asked their admin to weight their SRV record for the core 
DC's higher than all the others and see if this fixes the problem.

Hi,

Can you please 100% confirm your DNS setup. The servers in question (b) and (d) 
are different, so when you say "answered above", I begin to worry that we're 
overlooking something.


-  Are you saying that the DC in DomainA hosts a secondary copy of the 
DomainB zone?

-  And that the DC in DomainB hosts a secondary copy of the DomainA 
zone?

-  And that the DC in DomainA looks at itself for name resolution?

-  And that the DC in DOmainB also looks at itself for name resolution?

The above 4 are all separate, independent configuration options, and given that 
this should work, but isn't, we'd need to work through each item until we get 
to the point where we identify what the culprit is.

Cheers
Ken

One of the first things I checked.  Ports are open, firewalls off.  Even tested 
telnet in to most everything listed in that article.  DomainA already has 
multiple trusts set up with other locations.
To make this even more strange, I can ping the remote domainA.local from a 
workstation on domainB and get a response from domainA PDC.  Same ping fails 
from either of my domainB DC's.
Think I'll bounce my DC's tonight and see what happens.

I would look here.
How to configure a firewall for domains and trusts

Just because you can't ping the endpoint doesn't mean it isn't available.

You can do the following if you need to determine if an endpoint is open.

Get a copy of Nmap or if you have a Linux Box you can use tcptraceroute or Nmap 
also.

To test you tell Nmap not to ping the host.

Nmap -sS -sV -P0 -p- ip address of endpoint. ( this will do all 65535 ports and 
tell you what you have open from your system)

Tcptraceroute IP_addresss dest_port ( so if I wanted to tcptraceroute to 
123.45.67.89 port 135 I would do the following)
Tcptraceroute 123.45.67.89 135

HTH I think you up against a FW issue nobody on the other side is telling you 
about..

We arrange a time to connect but then find the user has gone to a meeting or is

In our IT policy it does say we can control you machine at any time for updates.

[N Parr]

I have a WAN link on a Cisco 3750x I want to monitor BW for.  It's just a 
Metro-E type of Fiber link between two identical switches.  Switch requires a 
10G module for this functionality.  Don't want to pay 2k+ just for the 
privilege.  Anyone else done this on the cheap some other way?

RE: Ouch - UPnP

I just trying to lull people into a false sense of "oh this can't be to bad" so 
they click on the email to read it and. BAM.  But yes I think we're all a 
bit indifferent at this point when we see a new security threat.

Guess it would mostly affect home users but they are going to be the ones who 
would never hear about it for be able to fix it.

Thanks for having a look at it.

The activity is pretty frequent, actually.  The latest capture has about 30 
gets to non-Barracuda sites in a few hours, all of which are embedded in 
inbound spam messages.

My suspicion is that it is something along the lines you describe, but I can't 
find anything in the config documents that explicitly states it will pull down 
content.  The fact the technician hadn't heard of this is a little strange, too.

The closest thing I can find is in the description of "Multi-Level Intent

Multi-Level Intent Analysis - Set to Yes to inspect the results of Web queries 
to URIs of well-known free Web sites for redirections to known spammer sites.

However, does www.nicejordans23.com<http://www.nicejordans23.com> sound like a 
"well-known" free website?  Or amazing.chloalt.us<http://amazing.chloalt.us>?

Maybe I'll get some more info when this e-mail comes in and hits the filter.

RE: DC's and VM's

[N Parr]

We have a large CAT Genset for the the entire facility.  And 1.5+ hours run 
time on most server room equipment.  Never thought of, or would have been able 
to justify, a dedicated genset for the server room.  On Dec 26th there was a 
leak in our shop above a main buss line and it blew.  So guess what happens 
when you have to disconnect a buss line from the main power grid?  You can't 
run the facility genset because the main grid will be energized.  If this would 
have happened a year to the day earlier I would have been in Disney World for 
my daughters 10th B-day.  Everything would have gone down hard and I would not 
have been answering my phone.  No automated shutdown software because "hey 
we've got a getset".  And I'm the only personnel that can quickly get things 
running again the day before yearly inventory.  Now I'm betting I'll get 
approval for a dedicated genset for the server room.  If you think for a bit 
it's not hard to dream up a plausible perfect storm.

Now, I'm looking for better ups software and a setting to change the servers to

Any recommendations?  We use TrippLite UPS's and no backup generator.

That is correct (you can have redundant DHCP without splitting the pool in 
Windows Server 2012).

Hyper-V 3.0 also allows you to specify critical VMs that must start first, with 
X delay before starting other VMs, and allow Hyper-V clusters to come online 
BEFORE AD starts.

I recently set up a triplet of R620s, using the Dell-supplied ESXi on a stick, 
and no internal drives. Each machine has 64gb RAM. Works well, but I don't know 
if they're a direct compare to the DL360 - I haven't played with anything HP 
for many years (aside from their Lefthand SANs - they rock). This was for a 
VMware Essentials Plus package, and I'm very happy with the machines. I ordered 
them with a minimum of 6 NICs each, and they came with 4 NICs on the 
motherboard and a 4port NIC as an addin, so I dedicated one set on each machine 
to the VMs and one set to the SAN.

I  can't remember what the max RAM is on an R620, but I suppose it would be 
more than the 64gb I'm using - the VMware package we bought specifies the max 
RAM allowed per machine, so that's what we got.

RE: SSD and 2008 R2 Hyper-V, SAS vs. SATA SSD

[N Parr]

Lot of details you need to fill in.  50 user production server doing what?  
File share, large or lots of small files?  SQL server, OLAP or OLTP loads?  
Then there's the technology of the SSD drives.  Not just the MLC/SLC tech but 
drives with brains that can handle raid configurations.  If you look closely at 
disk I/O on SSD's most of the high end drives top out at the 240GB level.  
Larger drives can start to decrease in performance.  Given it's still faster 
than traditional drives but is the $/GB worth it to you.  You didn't mention 
how much space you needed.  How high end is your controller and does its HCL 
have specific SSD's on it?  I'm just guessing that SSD's may be overkill for 
that you are talking about.  Will the users really see improvements in their 
interactions with the server?  They won't care if the server takes 20 seconds 
to boot or 2 minutes.

That being said I love to jump on the newest tech out there and see what it can 
do.  But I've learned my lessons to never put something in production I don't 
fully understand.  I've been messing with SSD's for years, mainly using them in 
equipment in hostel environments.  The early cheap MLC drives I used tended to 
fail quite often.  I've hardly had any issues with new high end SLC drives 
other than older SATA controllers not liking them.  I boot my ESX hosts from 
them at home for power savings (guests are on my QNAP).  Have a few laptops and 
desktops and they all work great.  I've tested putting a single high end OCZ 
SSD in my QNAP and running a virtual guest off it.  In my case performance test 
showed about a 25% improvement in guest disk I/O vs the Equallogic array it was 
on before.  But even that is comparing apples to oranges.

Subject: SSD and 2008 R2 Hyper-V, SAS vs. SATA SSD

Some of you may remember I fought a little with putting an SSD drive in my old 
home lab PowerEdge 840 but I did finally get it to work. I've been running 2008 
R2 Hyper-V server on SSD for about a week now and all I can say is holy crap! 
The boot times (compared to the previous platter SATA drives) are insane. I had 
no idea a server OS could boot so fast! I haven't timed it, but I'd guess it's 
less than 10 seconds from the end of POST to me being able to RDP to it.

My question isfor a 50-user production server which would be faster - SAS 
or SATA SSD for the OS? Something I find little discussion on in the controller 
architecture (SATA SSD's vs. SAS disks) and performance with varying levels 
concurrent client connections. SATA drives now have NCQ, does this 
negate/mitigate the traditional SCSI advantage?

RE: Exchange 2010 - manage mobile phone

Then it may be due to the fact I tried to delegate control to this user in the 
past.  Very familiar with the issues around BB enterprise server but this user 
has never had a BB on our BES.
Thanks again.

Subject: "Everyone is the IT department"

I disagree with this guy, but maybe because I'm so oldschool..

"Dion Hinchcliffe, an analyst at the Dachis Group and a frequent blogger on the 
changing enterprise, says it's time for IT to acknowledge they can't control 
users.

"Everyone in an organization is the IT department. There's really no gatekeeper 
anymore."
Hinchcliffe, who's delivering a keynote at the CITE One-Day Forum in New York 
City on October 10, says that users are driving technology adoption in two 
critical areas: communciations, and self-service IT -- particularly in the form 
of mobile apps delivered through public app stores.
The latter is particularly hard for some IT shops to accept, but it's reality, 
says Hinchcliffe.

"IT depts are being disintermediated in a relentless way, and so quickly they 
can't even react to it. There are millions of apps in these app stores, they're 
disposable and free, they're easy to throw away if you want to." He continues, 
"We're all consumers. That's the whole point of consumerization. We're all 
smart enough, we have tools, we can select and acquire software in minutes, try 
a whole bunch of things, and find the perfect thing for the task at hand. That 
cycle cant be supported by bureaucracy."

I still have one 1050c in production but we've started switching to Canon IPF

This isn't an OEM license and I have the key thanks to Richard reminding me

I did this once...just once, and my results weren't satisfying.

I P2V'ed our SBS 2003 just to see what would happen.  I was forced to activate, 
but it would not accept the OEM key.  Due to other problems associated with 
that experience, I didn't pursue it very long.

If you can get the media somehow (maybe the discs were copied onto a HD?), 
you're going to be much better off doing a Swing Migration.  And you can 
experiment with installing OEM media into a virtual environment to see if it 
will accept the product key.

Keep in mind this is a violation of the OEM license.  You need to purchase an 
SBS license and get some downgrade rights to get back to 2003.

Call Microsoft. :-)

Having said that, does 2003 ask for a key when you P2V it? It doesn't need 
online activation like Vista/Win7/W2K8. I've P2V'd WinXP without issue. 
Vista/later take activation keys to do that though.

I've done this dozens of times with OEM licensed machines but this is 
different.  I have an old 2003 SBS that from what I can tell isn't OEM, there's 
no OEM in the product ID.  The original install disks/code were lost in a 
building fire.  They grabbed the server on the way out, rest burned up.  Server 
is on last leg for many reasons and simplest thing to do virtualize it.  
Especially since I will be moving them off it within the next year.  And for 
business reason's I can't move them to a new server at the moment.
I'm trying to figure out what to buy so when it tries to activate after 
virtualization I'll be able to do so.  Can I just buy an old copy of SBS 2003 
standard and use the key from it?  Will it screw with the extra 40 CAL's 
already on the server when I do?

RE: Need to P2V and old SBS Standard 2003 server - Non OEM and no Key

[N Parr]

Thanks, I think this will work.  I knew there had to be a simple solution, my 
brain just wouldn't put it together for me this morning.

http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/  for the OS key.  (I think this will 
work.)  From the SBS console you can backup the additional CALs and re-install 
them later if you need to.  (Again, it's been a while, but I remember this 
being quite simple.)

Technet for installation discs if you need them for any reason.

Having said that, does 2003 ask for a key when you P2V it? It doesn't need 
online activation like Vista/Win7/W2K8. I've P2V'd WinXP without issue. 
Vista/later take activation keys to do that though.

I've done this dozens of times with OEM licensed machines but this is

no OEM in the product ID.  The original install disks/code were lost in a

is on last leg for many reasons and simplest thing to do virtualize it.  
Especially since I will be moving them off it within the next year.  And for 
business reason's I can't move them to a new server at the moment.
I'm trying to figure out what to buy so when it tries to activate after 
virtualization I'll be able to do so.  Can I just buy an old copy of SBS 2003 
standard and use the key from it?  Will it screw with the extra 40 CAL's 
already on the server when I do?

RE: Need to P2V and old SBS Standard 2003 server - Non OEM and no Key

[N Parr]

Since SBS 2003 isn't supported on VM I doubt they will help me.  Every OEM 2003 
server and OEM XP I've ever done has forced an activation and needed the key.  
I haven't actually tried it yet but was assuming it would based on previous 
experience.

Hi All,

I have a Windows 2008R2 file server at the far end of a WAN link.  There is a 
20ms ping time between the workstations and the server.  This is pretty 
constant.

The file server contains a lot of Excel files.  Different versions, some with 
macros some without.  Some files are quite old, some are newer.

Opening some of these files over the WAN link can take upwards of a minute for 
a 1MB file.  Other similarly sized files will open in 6 seconds.

At this point I'm looking for a few thoughts on where I can start my 
investigations.

Thx

Subject: OT: Failing storage devices

I've just had two USB memory sticks suddenly decide that they won't be 
recognized by any computer, as well as a failure of a hard drive in my 
TeraStation, the death of the SD card in my Blackberry and the BIOS going bad 
on my workstation. Is this just plain old bad luck (all within four days) or 
could something else be causing it (sunspots, EMP, radiation? I am at a loss to 
explain it).

On a side note does anyone know any good data recovery services for USB drives? 
I am still waiting for a replacement drive for my TeraStation so I was going to 
use the data from these devices until this is fixed, but I can't believe that 
on the same day two sticks have decided that they won't be recognized by any 
computer I plug them into. Other USB devices still work so it's not a problem 
with my computers themselves. I'm really narked by this turn of events, to say 
the least.

and procedures. I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some 
politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails 
or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, 
in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, 
anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified 
or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of 
this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by 
the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted 
for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended 
sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most 
certainly be hung, drawn and quartered.

I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been 
sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't 
responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm 
glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are 
expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of 
expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that 
statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an 
opinion-expressing service. In the event that I did, this discourse would 
provide no guarantee that I would do it anyway, but I don't, so I won't.

RE: OEM version of SBS 2003 R2

[N Parr]

It will ask you to re-activate, but if you have the original OEM code on the 
sticker on the side of the machine you will be ok.  I've done this many times 
with XP and 2003, XP usually takes on it's own but you have to call Microsoft 
and ask nicely with servers.  Usually you don't even have to plead your case.  
Ahh my hardware is dying and I need to get this server running temporarily as a 
VM.  Problem I'm having now is an old 2003 SBS server that I don't have the 
original OEM sticker for because the local POS vendor that built the machine 
didn't stick it on there.  So now I'm stuck buying an old copy off eBay or 
something.

RE: Wireless Billing Analysis

[N Parr]

Ditto, my Verizon rep keeps an eye on things for me.  Usually I do a quick 5 
min review of the bill when I get it to make sure everything is kosher.  But I 
only have 70 lines or so.  I've never seen any value added from the outside 
analyzers unless you have hundreds or thousands of lines and too many in house 
cooks in the kitchen with access to order and make changes.

We're mostly in the Verizon camp now but I'm fairly confident there are some 
incorrect billings and missed opportunities in the mix.  We just don't have the 
manpower to do a thorough analysis.

Quick question, no research necessary:

Looks like I need a Serial over IP adapter. I've used a Startech and a Moxa in 
the past. The Startech needs to be reset on occasion, and the Moxa aslo needs 
reboots (but it's a Serail over Wifi, so I can't judge if a regular ethernet 
version would fail)

Can anybody recommend a good, won't need a reboot very often model of Serial 
over IP? I don't need anything special, just reliable.

Thanks.

It wouldn't be a mission critical device.
It would require the latest and greatest Cisco IPS signatures though, which 
means it would need new license on it.

Does anyone know how the process works?
Can I just call Cisco and tell them I'm the new owner of a used device and need

Recomendations for Cellular Repeaters?

[N Parr]

Specifically for VZ CDMA but if it handled any other freqs/carriers that would 
be great also.  Not worried much about data, just voice calls.  We had a 
facility burn down last week and the location we are moving our manufacturing 
has abysmal cell coverage.  It's about a 90k sq/ft warehouse.   Would prefer 
actually repeaters and not devices that uses your broadband connection.

came along with the cable connection - so we had a bunch of channels - 
including FX and SCI FI for a while.  Since they've went digital, we have about 
10 channels (as we only have Internet and the most "Basic" TV package we can 
get) - no boxes.  Now, they've sent us another msg telling us we had to get 
boxes just to watch TV on our older sets.  So we got 3 of those for free and 
have to put those in.

Looks like DISH has a good deal too now with Blockbuster and all their included 
stuff.

FWIW, I've had Vonage for about 4 years or so.  Originally had their unlimited 
$24.99 single line monthly plan that ended up costing about $28.00 per month 
after fees and taxes.  I called and asked if there were discounts for paying in 
bulk. They said yes so I went with a 1 year contract which put it back to about 
$25.00 per month with all the taxes and fees in there.

The catch was that they automatically renew it.  I didn't want them to, but 
they re-billed me for another year, we had a fight about it, and I had to 
settle with them for $140 for services they charged me.  So I left them, lost 
my phone number and had no service for a few months while I was shopping around 
(AT&T, Comcast package, etc.).

No one seemed to be able to come close so I went back to Vonage.  This time I 
got their basic $14.99 / month package that has about 300 minutes monthly.  
They sent me a new box and the monthly charges are about $17.00 after fees.

The fax seems to work better than it did with the old box I had which sounds 
like the QOS is on the newer hardware.  It didn't work very well with the older 
box.

I'm still trying to see about getting Comcast for the Internet, TV, and phone

 That really blows my mind, because I've had their Internet and basic TV for 
almost 9 years.  You would think they would want to keep loyal customers and 
offer some incentives, but they don't.  The sales guy said to cancel your 
service, and then you can come back as a "new" customer.

I switched over to MagicJack, got my existing number ported. All went well. No

I switched from Ooma because of that, and as far as I was able to tell there 
shouldn't be any.

Unfortunately I'm running in "if it isn't on fire, don't call me, I'll get to

If I knew, I *would* tell you, but those were just my first set of steps in the 
troubleshooting chain, gathering information.

However, since that solved the problem, I'd tend to leave it be.

OTOH, if you're looking for adventure (cold, wet nasty things that make you 
late for breakfast) you can try undoing the global settings and once more 
recreating them on the individual scopes.

If you do that, I'd start with setting up the scope that didn't work in the 
first instance, and see if that works, then try the other.

OK.

When you look at the scope options for each scope, are they exactly the same 
for both scopes, modulo option "003 Router"?

If they are, what happens if you remove all of the options (except
"003 Router) and set them globally?

DHCP - I'm at a loss

[N Parr]

I'm not very hopeful that anyone will have an answer for me about this but I've 
seen stranger things solved.  I have two of my scopes set up identically.  I'm 
handing out extra options for tftp and vendor specific SVP server IP for my 
spectralink/polycom wireless IP phones.  New Aruba wireless system, for what it 
matters.  On one VLAN the phones get the server info they need from DHCP and 
work perfectly fine.  If I switch the VLAN for the SSID to the other VLAN the 
phone doesn't get the extra options it needs.  It gets an IP from the DHCP 
server but not the SVP address it would seem.  I spent 2 hours on the phone 
with Aruba this morning ruling out anything wrong on that side.  All the DHCP 
helpers are there, I can ping the SVP server from a PC attached to the SSID I'm 
messing with from both VLANs.  I've reset the DHCP service.  No event log 
error's on the DHCP.  We even set up a new test SSID with no security with the 
same results.  Works from one VLAN, not from the other.

RE: Group Policy problem

I had a very similar problem a couple weeks ago.  We only have one little 
application we push to all computers via GPO, it's been the same app for the 
past 3 years.  All the sudden it just stopped installing for no reason I can 
understand, maybe something in last round of windows updates since that was the 
only common change.  I did some searching and turned on the old "always wait 
for network at computer startup" and it starts working again.   I was getting 
RPC and DC not available errors in the event log which helped me narrow down 
the problem.  But why now after years and across 03-08 domain upgrades.

If you don't need the script to run at logon, consider a scheduled task via

RE: did i screw up? need to fix fast.

It should finish up ok, no telling how long it will take.  The percentage bar 
is useless.  Depends on the speed of your storage and how big your snap was.  
At least your running 5, in the old days of 3.5 the GUI would time out after a 
while and you would have to go CLI to fix it.

RE: GPO - Deny Logon Locally to everyone in OU?

Yes I've done that before, although not for this type of user.  It's still

RE: Qnap - Connecting to 2nd ethernet port

Subject: Qnap - Connecting to 2nd ethernet port

We've got a Qnap TS-659 Pro II at a remote facility. It's setup as a NAS with 
AD integration and it's working fine.

One thing we use it for is for Disk-to-Disk-Tape backups as well as PC image 
storage. This normally happens after hours so the high network utilization 
isn't an issue but if we need to do these things during regular hours, it is.

Is it possible to connect directly from a 2nd ethernet port on a server to the 
2nd ethernet port on the TS-659 to isolate the LAN from some of the 
backup/image traffic?

I know I could setup an iSCSI connection but then what's stored there is only 
accessible through the iSCSI connected server/pc. Other systems could only 
access the data through the server as a share.

RE: Virtualization - Sizing, hard disk config

[N Parr]

RAM is cheap if you have room in your budget add RAM, when I quoted the server 
you referenced in Oct I think it was around $200 to go from 96 to 128 GB of 
ram.  Unless I'm confusing that with the price difference between dual quad 
core and six core cpu's.  But either way it's cheap.  Power Edge T710s w/2 x 6 
core xeon procs, 128 GBs of memory was under 6k with no internal storage.
Plan your build to put every service on it's own VM and give them the the RAM 
they need.  Don't skimp with by provisioning 1GB of ram on an 08R2 server.  It 
really does make your life a lot simpler if you have to take down one thing for 
an upgrade without taking down a half dozen other services because they are on 
the same server.  You've got to build out your infrastructure to allow for 
growth or you be back at the boss' door begging for more $$.  And seriously 
look at some type of SAN.  Even a decent little QNAP would probably suffice for 
you at this point if you can show your disk IO isn't massive.  Less than 2k can 
get you a 4-6 bay and TB's of storage.  Buy a second smaller one and you have 
instant replication for DR.

system administration.  ;-)

  I'd appreciate any input people have on this.  Thoughts, suggestions, 
recommendations, dopeslaps, etc.  Pointers to references, or FMs to R, are also 
welcome.

SUMMARY

* Spec'ing a server for small business virtualization
* Best hard drive config?
  * Eight fast mid-sized disks in one big RAID 10?
  * Larger slower mirrored disks, but some dedicated to workloads?
* Unsure as to RAM and CPU sizing

BACKGROUND

  The Powers That Be here at %WORK% have finally agreed to let me upgrade our 
server infrastructure (and there was much rejoicing).
We're a small shop, basically just two servers, with most everything running on 
a single server.  DC, file, print, Exchange, apps, etc., all on the one box.  
Obviously far from ideal, but it wasn't cost-effective to do anything else 
before.  With virtualization now being in our reach, my goal is to split that 
into dedicated VMs, and move everything on to a single physical box.

  I've not found much capacity planning guidance for small businesses who want 
to do virtualization on a single server.  All the guides seem to assume 1000s 
of users, and help one figure out how many servers to buy for one's load.  I'm 
trying to figure out how much of a server to buy, for the varied VMs I want to 
put on it.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

* Single physical site, single domain, single AD site
* 100 MB NTDS, 285 MB SYSVOL
* 85 named users, plus a dozen or so shared role accounts
* 120 CALed PCs
* 370 GB plain old files on the file server
* 150 GB Exchange information store
* 130 GB other stuff (OS overhead, server software, OS images, WSUS, etc.)
* 25 network printers
* Win 2000 Server (I know, I know); Exchange 2003

MY PLAN SO FAR

  We're a Dell shop, so PowerEdge T710.  Eight disk bays.  Two CPU sockets.

  Win 2008 R2 Datacenter.  Gotta love the unlimited VMs.

  Hyper-V, simple because it makes the support question less complicated.

  Budget isn't set in stone, but I'm shooting for the 8 - 12 kilobuck range, 
including service contract, not including software.  Obviously we don't want to 
spend more than we have to, but if something is cost-justified I can argue to 
get it.

  At least five VMs: DC/DHCP/DNS.  Exchange.  File server.  Print server 
(ill-behaved print drivers).  And one catch-all -- WSUS, BES, anti-virus 
server, license servers, a few tiny vendor-app databases.
Maybe split that last one up a bit more, maybe not.

  I think a SAN would be overkill for us right now.  One nice thing about 
virtualization is that we can easily migrate the VHDs to a SAN when get to that 
point.

DISK CONFIGURATION

  Traditional wisdom was to use dedicated spindle sets for things like 
Exchange.  Your dedicated Exchange server would have a small mirror for OS and 
software, a small mirror for the transaction logs, and however much you needed 
for the Information Store.  Virtualization makes the question more complicated.

  I could get eight mid-sized 15 KRPM disks, and put them in RAID 10 (stripe of 
mirrors).  Have most of it be a giant partition on the host, containing all the 
VHDs.

  Or I could get larger, 7.2 KRPM disks, put them in mirrored pairs, and 
dedicate mirrors to workloads.  One mirror set for the Exchange IS, another for 
the logs, a third for plain old files, and a fourth for everything else.  Or 
some variation on that theme.

  Thoughts on this?

RAM AND CPU SIZING

  For such a small environment, am I okay oversubscribing the physical 
cores/hyperthreads?  For example, if I get a single six core processor (leaving 
the  second socket open for future expansion), will that be okay?  Does 
Exchange have to have multiple dedicated cores to run well?

  Likewise, how much RAM do I really need to give the single-purpose VMs?  I'm 
thinking 1 GB for the print server.  Will the DC be okay with 1 GB?  I'm 
thinking the more RAM I can give Exchange and the file server, the better, so 
there's a trade-off here.




  Thanks for reading.  :)

RE: 802.11 Wireless VGA Extension

[N Parr]

Just thought I'd follow up on some solutions I've found since a variant of this 
question seems to come up occasionally.
http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3811&sku=29505#
Their Trulink system does it all for connectivity, wired and wireless.  But 
very expensive per endpoint, over $700.

IOGear makes a wireless USB Hub ~$60, so I got the idea to connect one of my 
Kensington USB/VGA adapters to it, ~$60.  They said you can't connect to 
multiple devices across hubs or VGA adapters but I tried it anyway and it 
works.  Works very well hard wired, but if you don't have great wireless 
connection the Kensington driver will have issues trying to keep video in sync 
across multiple devices and fail miserably with one wired and one wireless.  We 
have an old Cisco Aironet wireless infrastructure and I don't have great signal 
at my desk.  Maybe when we get our Aruba system in I'll have better results 
with using wireless.  I'm running it from a VM and network BW is averaging 
around 200k to run two monitors with slideshows that update every 5 sec.  CPU 
is bouncing around 5-15%.  Kensington says you can run 6 adapters from one PC.  
If I remember someone asked a while back about splitting an excel file across 
multiple TV's.  This would work because the driver lets you decide where you 
want the monitors positioned (or mirrored) and how you want them rotated.

Startech make an Ethernet to VGA adapter which is basically an Ethernet USB hub 
with the VGA adapter built in, ~$120.  From the help file it looks like it uses 
the exact same configuration software as the Kensington USB/VGA adapter.  I 
called their tech support to ask if it would "unofficially" support sending 
video to multiple devices.  The tech I talked to was excellent.  He confirmed 
it wasn't officially supported but that it would work and seem genuinely 
interested it what I was trying to accomplish.  And he spoke English.  So I'm 
going to test my setup with a couple of these also.

Can anyone point me to a product like this.  I just don't have much experience

they all either use their own build it wireless or some type of physical

I've checked out Avocent and some similar manufactures.
Even thought of a wireless/Ethernet attached USB hub with a VGA adapter on it.  
Afraid I may have BW issues trying to move Video that way and I would have to 
put one at each remote and want to run multiple devices from a single PC.  I 
can't find any that allow you to attach to devices across multiple hubs.
In the end it may just be cheaper to use some cheap old micro pc's at each 
location but I would prefer to make it as solid state as possible because the 
environment they are in will kill anything with a fan pretty quick.  I'm doing 
some kiosk type TV's now with old pc's on them running slideshows but this has 
the potential to be 20-30 more devices and I would really like it to be as 
centrally managed as possible.

  You can't just pick the lowest PID, as PIDs aren't guaranteed to always 
increase, AFAIK.  You'd need to look at the process start time.

PowerShell prolly already has some obscure option to do it.  ;)

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting a QNAP NAS, as I've heard good things about them, 
primarily from this list :)

But, I'm having a little trouble choosing the right one.

It seems like some people here like the TS-1279U-RP+

http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/QNAP-Business-Series-TS-859U-RP-Turbo-NAS-NAS-server/2248336.aspx

However, it doesn't seem to have AD integration, which I would really need. 
Really weird, too, since it says it's in their "Business Series."


I also see this unit, the TS-879U-RP

http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/QNAP-TS-879U-RP-NAS-server/2499636.aspx

This one has a faster processor, more RAM and supports SATA-600 speeds and 
supports AD integration.

Anyone have experience with this TS-879U-RP unit? Looks like the one I would 
want

Thanks,

Evan

Servers make for some heat and based on the heat generation I needed a 3 ton.

If you *need* 15 tons, I would consider TWO 8 ton units.  With a single unit 
it's all or nothing, and the nothing part will suck if it happens to you.

Currently, I have two HVAC bids regarding the expansion of our server room.

We have two proposals and with two different units, both 15 tons.  One is by

Anyone care to offer their opinions/experiences/etc on the advantages one has

RE: Server room cooling units

[N Parr]

We have a Sanyo unit that is similar to a Leibert, just less $$.  It's a 
ductless variable unit that will only crank up the compressor as much as needed 
to maintain temp.  One lesson we learned that made us lean toward a variable 
cooling unit is out previous compressor was a standard type you see outside 
your house/business and was over sized for the room.  That means it would flip 
on and off so fast that it wouldn't have time between cycles to thaw out the 
coils.  With no type of humidity control built in we would start freezing up 
and over heat.

I've run Win2k3 Server on a dual-core Atom. Mostly just file serving. Runs 
fine. SuperMicro makes some server class Atom systems, so it's not a crazy 
idea. Just depends on what you need to do, how much you want to spend, and how 
much headroom you want for future needs.

There are limitations, though. First, you're sacrificing a lot in clock speed 
over most desktop or server class processorts. You're limited to 4GB of RAM, 
with no support for ECC. Unless it's a purpose-build server motherboard, you're 
limited to two SATA devices. Virtually all motherboards, including those from 
SuperMicro, are mini-ITX form factor, so you generally have just one PCI-E slot.

Small size and low power usage are usually the biggest reasons to use an Atom 
(or AMD Fusion) solution as a server. Makes a nice little application server 
(such as a music server) for the home that can be tucked away almost anywhere.

So, since this has come up, I'm curious on how much processing power is 
actually needed for most services?

I have some Quad-Core Xeons which are absolutely underutilized. They are doing 
their jobs (usually serving user home folders and standard Active Directory 
duties) with plenty of horsepower to spare. So it makes me
wonder: Has anybody tried Windows Server on an Atom?

Take all the other bottlenecks out of the equation: Plenty of RAM, fast HD or 
SSD... does the 1.8 dual core Atom (or the Socket 1155 Celeron) handle most 
tasks just as well as a Dual 6Core Xeon? Aka, could I be getting away with less 
expensive hardware to do the same duties?

I realize if I'm encoding or rendering, the hefty Xeon is a much better bet. Or 
if I'm trying to run VMs, the Atom's not even an option.

RE: Lab Computer / Server at Home + Vmware

[N Parr]

I've mentioned this is the past and for the most part it will just reinforce 
what some others have said.  I have an old Dell Precision T5400 running ESX 
4.1, and soon 5.  It's booting off a little 30GB SSD.  VM Storage is on a 
mirror pair of Western Digital WD2002FYPS 2TB Black.  What makes the difference 
is the amount of RAM you have available (16GB in this one) AND a RAID 
controller that IS ON THE VMWARE HCL LIST.  I tried multiple configs for 
storage in the beginning.  I finally just broke down and got an LSI Megaraid 
SATA 300 controller off ebay and haven't looked back.  There's no specific 
reason I used a T5400, almost any precision workstation will work as well as a 
Poweredge server.  I've even installed ESX on an antique Precision M90 Laptop 
and it ran great.  Run 7 or so VM's on it, DC, exchange, VDR, VCenter, 
surveillance DVR, few misc workstations.

RE: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[N Parr]

Our last NEW laser we purchased a couple years ago still had and NT 4 based 
control.  And I was actually excited that it wasn't IBM PC DOS.  Praying the 
new tube laser we get in Jan will be one of the fancy new XP controls.

RE: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[N Parr]

Ignorant question here, will all file/dir permissions be retained when you 
re-attach the LUNs to the new server? I've always done a robocopy or used 
syncbackpro to move the data between servers.  But that's been because I've 
been going from physical to virtual.

A scenario for y'all to consider...

I've got a file server (Win2003 R2) running as a VM. It's using the MS iSCSI 
connector to connect with the 4 data partitions it's running.

My cunning plan to upgrade is to:


o- Bring up a Win2008 R2 VM
o- Configure all of the print queues on it to match the old server
o- Gin up a batch file that will recreate the shares on new machine to match 
the shares on the old machine
o- Down the the original 2003 R2 server and delete the account from AD
o- Change the name of the new 2008 R2 server to match the old server
o- Connect the LUNs on the iSCSI devices to the new machine and give them the 
same drive letters
o- Run the batch file on the new machine to create the shares
o- Go home and drink a few glasses of the nice wine I have stashed for just 
such an occasion

I'm sure someone out there has done something like this and can tell me if it's 
a viable upgrade method.

Anyone care to comment?

Kurt

I was wondering if anyone would mention AC Ryan.  They are not very

my collection. It was an easy way to get a copy of my kids stuff for
them to watch when they spend time there.  It may not be the "prettiest"

Looking for a few recommendations here.

I have a load of episodes of children's TV (Fireman Sam and the

I'd like a quick and easy way to be able to play these on my TV. The
solution I have at the moment is simply to connect my laptop to the TV
and run the videos from the computer to the VGA output on the TV, but
this is a) dangerous, as my seven cats regularly scuttle past the laptop
and could bring it crashing to the floor, and b) far too technical a
setup for my wife to put together for the kids herself when I am out of
the house.

Is there some sort of device I could purchase that could have a
USB device plugged into it, and would then be able to deliver the
content to my TV, or can you just get (for example) DVD players that
accept USB drives or the like now? (I'm way out of touch with home tech,
please forgive me). Or is there any other quick and dirty way I could
deliver these videos so that it's easy for my other half (she is a
complete technophobe)?

All ideas and sharing of own configurations welcome, thanks!

configured the IP addressing via the CLI and opted to switch to the web
interface to make a basic config.  Problem is I cant get this thing to
save any security settings beyond "No Security".  WEP key?  Forget it -
it wont save it.

Does anyone have any experience or advice for these devices?
I've config'd other model Aironet's before, and this is kind of blowing
my mind.

Thanks!

So I have one 03DC to remove, all FSMO roles have been moved to 08
servers.  I've been doing some research on time server configuration and
it's really confusing me, probably because I'm worrying about it to
much.  All my 08DC's, servers and clients are all still referencing my
03DC for their time.  Is there anything I really need to worry about
when I DCPromo this last 03DC out of my domain?  Will AD take care of
everything for me.  I've found article after article and most of them
are slightly different in some way.  It seems like every flavor of

RE: [OT] The infection continues to spread (HP)

[N Parr]

Exactly, my general train of thought was...
 
Ohhh HP has a new tablet now.  What version of Android is it running?
Huh, Web/O-What?  
 
Like you said, look at Playbook sales compared to IOS/Android.
Blackberry already had an infrastructure of similar devices, market
share and development compared to HP.  And HP says "lets go with
something totally different that everyone will have to start over with
and few have even heard of".  
Sure we deal with users every day that wouldn't know the difference
between and Android and apple tablet.  But for the most part consumers
who are going to drop $$ on a tablet tend to do a little comparison
shopping and would figure out it doesn't run what all the other tablet
in the world do.  When the ads started for HP tablet my wife commented
"that looks neat".  I told her it doesn't run Android and her reply was
"then why would anyone want it".

As I understand it, the only reason for acquiring Palm was to get WebOS.
Then they screwed up by waiting too long to enter the market with a
product that was not ready and lacked app support.

 

As to the future of WebOS, who else would want it?  The HP failure is a
major black mark, whether earned or not, whether the OS is superior or
not.  The name of the game is apps.  Without developer support and a
large catalog of apps, buyers won't pay a competitive price for a device
that may be slightly better in ways most users won't notice.  I wonder
how Playbook sales are doing at Blackberry and whether it can survive,
for the same reasons.

 Seriously.  The T790 is replacing a DesignJet 750C which was
old
enough to vote, and had simply worn away too many parts that
aren't made

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