apipa scripting?

2013-03-08 Thread S Powell
My google-Fu has failed, does anyone know how to script apipa configuration?

Automatic private IP addressing (normally it is that 169… address you
get when something is wrong with your networking)

We are doing this using the alternative configuration tab under ipv4
properties that is enabled when you select DHCP.
I’d like to be able to script this process and not do every computer
in the office by hand.

We’d like to use apipa to assign a static IP address to the wifi
adapters;  so that we can turn off DHCP in the office, and yet allow
DHCP when not in the office.

Thanks.

Re: apipa scripting?

2013-03-08 Thread S Powell
We are running DHCP now, we are just looking to get rid of it as we
change some things around.
We're looking to tie addresses together, so that we have static
ethernet addresses on the 192.168.0.x range where x = the machine ID
and have the static wifi addresses be in the 192.168.1.x range

So if I see something on x.x.x.45 I know at a glance that it can only
be one computer.
It eliminates ambiguity.

right I've looked throught the docs and I believe it could be in there, I
just can't find it.
I've got a script that changes the static ethernet address, but it is
finding how to get into the dark corners to change that alternative
configuration that is the issue.

Re: solved ... kinda Can't send large attachments

2012-10-18 Thread S Powell
Indeed Sir!

It was the IronPort.  It seems that before AsyncOS 7.6 there was a
larger file size limit, 40M it is now 10M (and as some people
correctly pointed out with MIME encoding accounting for 150%
inflation) you have a functional limit of around 7.5M although YMMV.

The good news it that we know what the issue is;  at least we have
that.  A vague something is wrong is not an acceptable answer.

--as always thanks to everyone for your help.

sharepoint and infopath issue

2012-07-02 Thread S Powell
SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2007.  If any of you can help me figure
out how to do this, or can offer an off-list consult, I'd be grateful:

here is what we have layer out.
We have an InfoPath template hosted on our SharePoint site.  Teams
open the template in a browser, this generates a form that is filled
out to create meeting agendas; the filled out form is then saved to
the SharePoint site.
We would like to have this form, as filled out, saved on the site; as
well as having the data from that form saved into a database or
otherwise be available for searching (not just SharePoint’s search but
also being able to generate reports from the data contained therein) .
It does not need to happen in that order; but we do need to have both.

This is really the most important issue, that the information can be queried.

Our users are using IE9 or Safari to fill out the forms, and according
to Microsoft, a web form cannot be saved to a database, but only to a
form or a web service.
 --“To configure a browser-compatible form template to submit data to
a database, use a data connection that submits data to a Web service
that works with the database.”

Are there web services that we can use (and how do we use them) to do
this? What we need is something that will be happy to generate the
form for our users to view, and still have the data that can be
queried?
Here is the workflow; starting from a template, filling it out online
in a browser compatible format then saving the form and getting the
data in to a database to be queried.

Hello World!

Question for your fortunate users, We've gotten our 60C up and

I trust Spamhaus, I'd just like to see what is being blocked.

I've looked in the logs, but I'm not seeing  well not seeing what
I need to be looking for I guess.

We have one domain that we are trying to send to and it is giving us
fits. all other email is join gout just fine.

I'm getting this error:
451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: 421 4.4.2
Connection dropped. Attempted failover to alternate host, but that
did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery
failed to all alternates.


I've set up a force HELO send connector to them, turned off TLS, and
turned set autotuninglevel=disabled

still. no joy.

I can telnet and send to their mail server from our exchange server.

OT? usb to scsi adaptor

2012-03-27 Thread S Powell
We are looking to nuke a few old SCSI drives, the server they came out
of is dead.

We have usb to die/sata adaptors that we normally use, but I cannot
find any usb to scsi adaptors.

amazon, newegg, tigerdirect and Adaptec all have them as EOL.

no one seems to carry anything like this.

Anyone have any ideas, or other options for nuking old SCSI drives?

Fortigate configuration

2012-03-12 Thread S Powell
Hello World!

I'm trying to set up our new fortunate firewall, moving away from ISA,
and I'm having some issues

I've googled and cannot figure this out.

We have 4 ip addresses
I have the primary IP on WAN 1  as 123.123.123.123 and can pass
everything on that fine.  on the same WAN I'd like to pass traffic on
123.123.123.124 to our SSH server at 192.168.1.2.

can anyone help me out on the setup for this.

I've set the secondary IP on the WAN, and set the policy to pass SSH
traffic to the Virtual IP, but no joy.

what am I missing?

 On most models you can add a secondary IP address to an existing interface.

 Or, create a virtual IP and then add a policy to allow external access via

Re: Win 8 CP - Initial thoughts?

2012-03-02 Thread S Powell
I played with the Dev preview, and thought it sucked beyond Vista,
then I tried using a trackpad, and it makes a huge difference.

only played with the beta for a hour or so, but when in desktop mode
the lack of an _obvious_ start button is just wrong.

metro ... I hate it.  it looks  wrong to me. YMMV

the login with your windows ID is great, allowing you to access your
skydrive. but there are things that have changed that are going to
take a while to get used to.

 slick.  Very different of course but I think the general public will like

 I’ll force myself to use Metro as much as possible as I have done with
 various changes to the Start menu/control panel etc over the years.  I
 usually find that I end up liking the new interface.

sophos or ClamX, fwiw for a malware scan.  and it should not be a

after that, internal DNS server or an external one? -- unlikely as you

Re: Allowing or not Allowing iTunes on corporate computers????

2012-02-15 Thread S Powell
FWIW,

on our iPhones, only I have iTunes on my mac, none of our users (win7) have it.
I use it along with the iPhone config utility to configure the phones.

ours are owned by the Business, not the users, so there is nothing for
them to do but charge their phones. we don't allow them to use
personal devices, or to install apps they want.

I do all the updates, of course we only have 15 phones and only allow
3 apps so there is not much work in the way of updating.

we have all the phones tied to one apple ID, and we have cloud syncing
turned off, but have find my iPhone turned on, this way I can log in
and find everyone's phones.

spamhaus

2012-02-14 Thread S Powell
Has anyone noticed spamhaus failing to work?

Our DNS seems to be working and our other RBLs are working (nothing is as
good as spamhaus though)

Vipre is pointed to zen.spamhaus.org, and everything else seems in order.

we are noncommercial, and push far less than 100k per day that they say is
their cutoff for free usage.

thoughts?

Re: spamhaus

2012-02-14 Thread S Powell
gdism

yes... not sure when this changed, or what I did.

BUT, after re-RTFM, i found this:
Check what DNS resolvers you are using: If you are using a free open
DNS resolver service such asGoogle Public DNS or Level3's public DNS
servers to resolve your DNSBL requests, in most cases you will receive
a not listed (NXDOMAIN) reply from Spamhaus' public DNSBL servers.
Please use your own DNS servers when doing DNSBL queries to Spamhaus.

yep sure enough, we had 8.8.8.8 in our DNS.

took it out, and it now works...
live and learn.

Xserve and bootcamp

2011-12-15 Thread S Powell
Apple hardware, MS OS
So, I'm going with not off topic...

Wondering if anyone has ever boot camped an Xserve.
We have 4 Xserves, and were wondering if anyone has done it?
We use parallels now, and are thinking about other options.

I _know_ it is not supported by apple, but then again Win 2008 is not
supported by apple for  boot camp and yet it runs fine on our boot camped minis.

So any thoughts?

depending on how much is on your iDevice, it can take a VERY long time.

32gb iphone 3gs took 1.5 hours to finish.

Otherwise no issues yet, iPhone and iPad seem fine,

Yes, seems that the sheer volume of people updating, hurt them, as well as
people updating jailbroken phones.

i'm not really seeing anything else that is giving me pause. but I'm not
going to update the iPhones that people here at work use until tomorrow.  My
personal updates went without issue, other than taking a long time.

Re: Macs and vunerabilities

2011-10-13 Thread S Powell
I know that many people on this list use GPO to whitelist apps in windows,
you can do the same on a mac with parental controls.

We have a few, laptops and iMacs; and while they are only used by admins, we
have had normal users using them in the past.  we have used Sophos and
ClamXAV, but for the most part simply limiting the users from running as
admin goes a long way.
 MacDefender required admin credentials to install.

 I had hoped that I had fixed the problem about three (3) weeks ago.  While

 As we're currently without a NW Admin right now, and I'm obviously not up

 Is this something that CAN work from clients?

 If so, HOW?  What do I need to do, to make it work?

 In looking at other IT/HelpDesk websites, I've seen some with what appears
 to be multiple domain names, on what I assume to be the same server.  Do I
 have to create a new domain name for my server?

 Sorry, but I've never created a website before, so ALL of this is new to
 me.  Any thoughts/guidance you would like to share would be most welcome.

 Hi List!

  

 I have a client that would like to use thier iPad in meetings to pull up
 documents off of their Server 2008 file server.  This client would like to
 be able to do this when local to the network and if possible remotely too.
 

  

 After doing some research it looks like the iPad can VPN to the network
 easy enough.  I have found one app that looks like it might work for
 browsing  file shares.
 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filebrowser-access-files-on/id364738545?mt=8
 

  

  

 Is anyone currently doing this and would like to share their experience or
 combination of apps to make this happen?

  

  

 Thanks

OT?: Mac on network with proxy

2011-08-05 Thread S Powell
Okay, a bit off topic, but.

We've just started using ISA as a proxy server, we were just using
the firewall bits before.

Our windows clients had no issues really, but with the Macs on our
network, that is another story.

We have the OCSPD (Online Certificate Status Protocol dæmon) that runs
as root and won't authenticate with ISA.
apps running as the user authenticate fine.

so it just runs and runs (about 5% CPU) and pings against ISA 2-3
times per second.

any thoughts on how to get it to Authenticate? Don't think OCSPD will
run as other than root.

Proxy settings are set correctly in the network system prefs; safari,
mail, user apps work fine.

thanks.

 There is no oem26.inf that I can find anywhere. And I haven't been
 able to find out how to tell VSS to forget about that file. The only VSS
 commands I find have to do with listing the VSS writers, never any
 Reset writers or anything useful. :-) The only forum and mailing list
 posts talk about installing the VSS Rollup .. which is for Win2003, not
 Win 2008.

 Can somebody maybe point me somewhere so I can resolve this?

Re: RDP through ISA Array

Does it have its own rule to allow this access externally?

you said internal cannot RDP to WAN, is this a separate rule? check this

 point to and it works fine.  I've looked in the ISA's and there is a policy

Re: RDP through ISA Array

RIGHT that would make sense then. it would allow the outbound part on

try allowing the internal network on the RDP rule from the outside.

Sharepoint DocID

2011-05-17 Thread S Powell
Sharepoint 2010

we have DocumentID enabled.

we've taught users to use the DocID URL for links eg.
http://site/_layouts/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=QAN7VXTX3TT5-1-1

and that works great if the URL points to Docx, xlsx or pdfs.

however if it links to an infopath xml, the link fails, it offers the user
the option of opening in infopath or saving the item.  (it is supposed to
open in the browser)

BUT! if the long version of the URL is used, it works just fine.  eg.
http://site/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/TestLiability/bb-2011-02-25-Renewal-cc.xmlSource=http%3A%2F%2Fgr026015%2Dsp1%2FTestLiability%2FForms%2FAllItems%2EaspxDefaultItemOpen=1

I know that somehow the DocIDRedir.aspx is being invoked but I'm not sure
after that.  this is on Win7 with IE 9

and yes oddly it works just fine on OS X and Safari.

TIA

To protect users from themselves, I have it set up so that users are
_required_ to check a document out to
edit.

Do any of you know if there is a way to force the document to be checked
back in if inactive or
at a certain time of day?
eg. If a user checks out a doc, after two hours force it to be checked
back in?  Or like at 11pm every night force all docs to be checked back in.

I've googled around, and can see where an admin could do it. But nothing
about doing it automatically.

Re: sharepoint 2010

2011-05-10 Thread S Powell
reminders would be good during the day, but most of our staff does not check
email out of the office.

I'm looking at docs that people check out then abandon if they forget and go
home without checking it back in.  If someone has it open and is working on
it I don't want them kicked out.

not going to be easy at any rate.

 Just being devils advocate here ...  if you don't care about saving their
 work and they can merge documents later, why are you forcing a checkout?
 The idea behind checkout is to prevent 2 people from modifying the same file
 and over writing someone else's changes.

 FYI, I don't think check in would be an easy work flow.  An easier one
 might be reminders - kick off work flow when document checked out, sleep 30
 minutes.  Document checked in, die.  Document still checked out, send email
 reminder (or OCS message), sleep 30.

 oh good idea, workflow, hmm need to look into that.

 yes, we have this issue all the time. Bob will check out a document then
 leave for the day, and Alice wants to work on it, and she has to find me to
 kick Bob out of it.

 I don't care about saving their work.  They can merge the documents later.
  I just want them to get in, work and get out.

 I haven't considered it, but you could possibly write a work flow to do
 it.  Although, like the admin check in, that would really just clear the
 checked out status, it would not check in (save) the document from the
 users work station.

 Do you have this problem now, or just anticipating?  (not that it
 matters, I'm just curious)

 To protect users from themselves, I have it set up so that users are
 _required_ to check a document out to
  edit.

 Do any of you know if there is a way to force the document to be checked
 back in if inactive or
 at a certain time of day?
 eg. If a user checks out a doc, after two hours force it to be checked
 back in?  Or like at 11pm every night force all docs to be checked back
 in.

 I've googled around, and can see where an admin could do it. But nothing
 about doing it automatically.

exchange 2007 mailbox conversion

Hello World!

I'm trying to clean up a few things on my exchange:

we have two conference rooms that are set up as regular mailboxes, I
can convert them to Rooms using
Set-Mailbox Mailbox to be converted -Type Room

so that it becomes IsResource=true

Question: have any of you done this? is there data loss? Is there
anything of which to be aware in doing this?

RBL issues

2011-02-11 Thread S Powell
After restarting exchange yesterday, and installing updates;  Vipre
has been blocking everything. This it the message--

The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Message
rejected because of RBL policy (state 13).

okay. we had the RBL in place before, and I didn't change anything on
the server other than installing updates and restarting.

nslookup from the exchange server works for most domains HOWEVER
spamhaus.org does not resolve, but spamcop does.

removing spamhaus from the RBL list and only using spamcop gives me
the same result. everything is blocked.

With the RBL turned off, everything works.

thoughts on why this is? DNS seems to be working for everything else...

 After restarting exchange yesterday, and installing updates;  Vipre has
 been blocking everything. This it the message--

 The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Message
 rejected because of RBL policy (state 13).

 okay. we had the RBL in place before, and I didn't change anything on the
 server other than installing updates and restarting.

 nslookup from the exchange server works for most domains HOWEVER
 spamhaus.org does not resolve, but spamcop does.

 removing spamhaus from the RBL list and only using spamcop gives me the
 same result. everything is blocked.

 With the RBL turned off, everything works.

 thoughts on why this is? DNS seems to be working for everything else...

the incoming mail that I was testing was coming _from_ gmail.
Vipre seems to have been blocking it inbound.

outbound email sent _from_ %internalDomain% was sending just fine.

 Jeffrey also relies heavily on process monitor from sysinternals.  Also

  Just wondering what tools all the other admins out there find they
 absolutely couldn't do without, as I've just been tidying up my list of
 bookmarks in Firefox Sync that I take from job to job, and that I also keep
 on a USB key with a copy of Firefox Portable. Insofar as tracking technical
 documents, problem fixes and handy utilities, I find that a copy of my own
 browser with the Sync Add-In is absolutely invaluable, and without it the
 pooch would be proverbially screwed. (it's also really cool how FF Sync
 tracks your browsing history from machine to machine, really handy when I am
 hot-desking and fancy reading the sports news!) I also find MRemote (
 www.mremote.orghttp://www.mremote.org) second-to-none in terms of
 managing connections, RDP, ICA, SSH, VNC and http all supported, and I take
 that from position to position.
 
  Just curious what other things sys admins find they couldn't imagine
 being without, hopefully might find some other invaluable utilities out
 there.
 
  Cheers,

 You also have leverage to negotiate with them at that point - an extra 10%

 Crude, but works well and the customer is satisfied with the results as it

 small clients to justify. Alternative #2 is RAID1 eSATA attached to some

 There are certainly more eloquent tools and methods, but this is a very

 Hello Everybody /Dr. Nick



 I'd like to pick your brains about how you deal with document sprawl, I was
 reading in another thread about how users would use their Recycle Bin as
 their archive. shudder

 we have users that will keep tens of copies of the same document in various
 locations around their My Documents; as well as in tens of locations
 within  our shared folders on the network ...



 User education only goes so far when it comes to please don't do that as
 they nod and then keep doing it.

  I think we've moved beyond being nice and we've found ourselves

 mired in needing a sledgehammer.  I'd just like to wrap it in a bit of
 velvet.



 Thoughts, Policies, procedures etc, would be helpful in this.



 TIA

Re: document sprawl

2010-12-03 Thread S Powell
well that won't quite cut it... i've got a user who believes that she
_NEEDS_ 3-4 copies of this document in different places or else she won't
know what is going on...

User edcation only goes so far, as if they refuse to get with the plan, I'm
right back where I started...

What I'm looking for is a velvet wrapped sledgehammer ^_^ to force a bit of
complience and stop people from saving Doc1 to My docs; My docs\work in
process;  my docs\stuff i'm working on;  my docs\this is really
important

and then worring that they won't be able to find that damn doc1.

along those lines...  Gee a WHOLE 4Gb drive? really?  WOW I might be able to

If they forget their passcode they are locked out of the phone until

Re: Speaking of Drobo ... (was: SAN question)

2010-09-23 Thread S Powell
I use a drobo at home and we use one here at work, with plans on
getting 2 DroboElites.

love it.

recovery... touch wood have not needed to yet.  (please note the
yet... everything fails)

DROBO says that if the _unit_ dies, you can just take the disks from
the failed unit, put them in a new working unit and everything will
still work.  I've never tried it, but i'm sure someday I may.

i've never had a failed drive in my unit, but i've upgraded drives
from 500Gb -- 1Tb and yes it is as easy as eject and replace, and
wait for the array to rebuild and then add the next disk.

the upside as far as the drobo is the ability to just add disks.  it
does the rebuilding of the array.  I trust my drobo as far as I can
spit my offsite backup.

YMMV, and I don't work for or have ties to drobo other than being
satisfied with the product.

 different sizes on a drobo unit, how is data recovery going to go for you?
 If the controller fails, and you don’t have a support agreement, you can’t
 just go on serversuply.com and get parts…



 Does anyone here have any experience with data recovery on a failed drobo,
 or for that matter, simply a failed drive within a drobo where you had
 drives of different sizes in the configuration?



 I know “backup, backup, backup”, but what if the backup doesn’t work (or the

 Going back to a previous comment of mine in another thread you started.
 Have you messed with OpenFiler, yet?  You'll learn a lot.

 Also, based on your pretty low requirements, have you looked at the
 DroboElite? If it had been available when I started looking, I very well
 could've gone in this direction.  As it is, I'm seriously considering it for
 backup duty.  Storage for a backup server, and the ability to use it in a
 pinch if my EqualLogic goes down.

 You really need to have a serious sit-down with the vendors/sales engineers

 Many times, some of the best education I've gotten has been from the

 about their products (I had to get there  back, but after that, everything
 was on them). If you say to them, I'd like an education on how your product
 works and whether or not it would be suitable for my needs and my

 Subject: Speaking of Drobo ... (was: SAN question)

 Ok, so it SEEMS like a really cool device, but I honestly haven’t looked at
 it seriously since the device first came out a couple of years ago. When I
 first looked at it, I was like, ok, now THAT’s COOL.



 However, after thinking about it some, it just seemed like some black magic
 under the covers to get their “BeyondRAID” to work. When I originally looked
 at it, I couldn’t find any technical detail on how the product *really*
 worked, as that was “proprietary” (understandably so, but still, how am I
 going to get comfortable with it as a sysadmin, especially at the price if
 I’m on a budget – it would be an expensive toy. Traditional RAID is just
 much more comforting to me. If you have a big issue with multiple drives of
 different sizes on a drobo unit, how is data recovery going to go for you?
 If the controller fails, and you don’t have a support agreement, you can’t
 just go on serversuply.com and get parts…



 Does anyone here have any experience with data recovery on a failed drobo,
 or for that matter, simply a failed drive within a drobo where you had
 drives of different sizes in the configuration?



 I know “backup, backup, backup”, but what if the backup doesn’t work (or the
 customer/end user didn’t heed your advice)?

 Going back to a previous comment of mine in another thread you started.
 Have you messed with OpenFiler, yet?  You'll learn a lot.

 Also, based on your pretty low requirements, have you looked at the
 DroboElite? If it had been available when I started looking, I very well
 could've gone in this direction.  As it is, I'm seriously considering it for
 backup duty.  Storage for a backup server, and the ability to use it in a
 pinch if my EqualLogic goes down.

 John - I do not believe that we can help you significantly with this
 question. In the end, it really doesn't matter what any of us think, because
 our environments are all different and unique. What works well and may be
 appropriate for any of us, may be a horrible fit for you and cause you
 nothing but heartburn and stress.

 However, I would tend to agree with Niles. If you're not ready for a SAN,
 don't spend the money on it now.

 You really need to have a serious sit-down with the vendors/sales engineers
 (notice I said ENGINEER, not REP) of the different hardware, learn as much
 as you can from THEM, and ask LOTS of questions. Then ask them why you
 should choose their product over x, y, or z product. Take lots of notes, and
 then do the same thing all over again, no more than a few days apart so
 everything is still fresh in your head.

 Many times, some of the best education I've gotten has been from the
 manufacturers themselves. I've actually been to the EMC manufacturing
 facility in North Carolina - I spent two days there, on THEIR DIME to learn
 about their products (I had to get there  back, but after that, everything
 was on them). If you say to them, I'd like an education on how your product
 works and whether or not it would be suitable for my needs and my
 applications., you'll generally get plenty of intelligent people that will
 be happy to answer your questions. If they don't ask lots of questions about
 your environment and what your needs are, you're talking to the wrong
 people.

 I believe that the purpose of this list is really a, I'm having trouble
 with x, has anyone seen this before? or why do you guys think x
 specification/technology is better than y, or I'm having trouble getting
 this ADSIedit script working, what am I doing wrong?.

 I believe that if you sit down with the various manufacturers/reps, even if
 only on a webex session where they can whiteboard for you one on one, will
 answer many of your questions and make your original question about
 intelligence/disks seem trivial.

Re: Mac and Windows mix

OH there are patches they are just different. software update does
not like to be run by normal users only admins, so you have to
manually install or allow the users to run as admin ug



Are you planning on any mac servers, because that is a whole new level
of fun

We don't run AV, but i do have ClamX on my macbook for fun.  while the
mac may not get infected with a windows virus, they can pass them on
so you do have to be careful there.

There are other things to be aware of, but we've had good luck.  I
love the Mac, I am an utter fan boy, but I would say that unless users
are used to the mac I'd be resistant on letting the users lose with
them in a windows office.
