Re: Veeam
The backup server is a physical box with tons of SATA storage.and VEEAM is running there. It grabs the images of the dozen or so virtual servers from the iSCSI SAN and then we backup the backup server to LTO-5 tape for offsite storage on a weekly basis. We're hoping for MGMT buy-in to do offsite replication sometime next year but the data pipe isn't sufficient we're stuck with tape for now.

*Oggetto:* Adobe Reader 10.1 Woes (9.4, previously)
Got a Windows 7 64-bit user who has a perplexing issue opening PDF files:
PDF files are correctly associated with Adobe Reader, and I've removed this
and reassociated a couple times.
When he double-clicks a local PDF file it opens and renders fine.
When he double-clicks a PDF file on a mapped drive or non-local resource,
Adobe Reader fails to open. If I right-click a PDF and choose Adobe Reader
it fails to open. There are two Acro32* processes in Task Manager which
have to be killed.
However, I've been able to open PDFs on a network resource by opening
Reader first and navigating to the file, or by right-clicking the file and
browsing to Reader and setting it as the default program (it already is).
Then the file opens fine. I
I pinned Reader to his start menu and if he highlights it a menu of recent
PDFs is displayed and he and he can select even a remote PDF and it opens
fine.
Obviously, he'd prefer to be able to to just double-click any PDF and have
it open.
FoxIT isn't an option because some of the PDFs he references are encrypted
and require Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions?

TCP/IP Connections
I've been seeing occasional system log entries on XP Pro machines indicating the maximum number of TCPIP connections has been reached.

One reported lots of virus infestations and prevented the user from accessing the internet and, for a low price, would fix all. The other reported that the hard drive had tons of errors and the boot sector was gone, etc. And for a small fee, their utility could fix it. This system was unusable. Maybe this is pretty basic but I haven't seen mention of it but in both cases, Window's System Restore easily removed both. I've seen descriptions of fixing infected systems involving fairly complex procedures and multiple utilities. I guess I just wanted to recommend giving System Restore a try first before resorting to the heavy artillery. On the system that had the failed hard drive scareware, it was impossible to access System Restore in normal windows. I figured Safe Mode was the way to go but I discovered System Restore is not available in Safe Mode. I did learn that you can run System Restore in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Just enter %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe at the command prompt and you're in System Restore. Not sure why regular Safe Mode wouldn't have that command available.

According to him, It's intended to mean on-site and he said I can add that to the contract, initial it and he'd initial it as well to make it part of the contract. IANAL, but it seems reasonable to believe that if both parties initial it, it has the force of the contract. -Original Message- From: Gary Slinger [mailto:gary.slin...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 5:14 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Docuteam Maybe you oughta consult a lawyer, or a more experienced contracts person, before you try any such thing. -Original Message- From: John Aldrich jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 16:19:40 To: NT System Admin Issuesntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Reply-To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: RE: Docuteam Hmm... maybe I oughta add a clause *requiring* on-site within 4 hours. :D From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 4:14 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Docuteam +1 They can respond to your piddly requests really fast, and then your major outages slowly and still maintain that their average response time is within 4 hours.

More important than getting the cost in writing, is getting the service terms in writing. A 4 hour onsite vs 4 hour response statement is a BIG difference. -Original Message- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 3:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Docuteam Yeah... honestly I don't know how they can make money, but it seems to be there in black white... *shrug* From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 3:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Docuteam If it's too good to be true...

They're offering to buy out our leases on our copiers and printers and save us money at the same time. Just wondering... it seems too good to be true, but the money is there in black white. Anyone have any experience working with Docuteam? Any gotchas that I should be aware of that would make us want to stay with our current copier/printer vendor? I'm thinking more on the lines of service quality as the discussion here has pretty much been the hardware all pretty much just works...you need to worry about service. So far, our service with our existing vendor has been pretty good, they just can't save us as much money as Docuteam.
