RE: OT: Career and Social Media
“With social media you might not have to look for a new job, it might find you” Spot on. Lately I’m always having recruiters and companies reach out to me for hire. I always ask how they find me, and they always say social media or internet presence. I haven’t published my resume anywhere (Heck, hardly even active on LinkedIn and it’s not that up to date. My Facebook is strictly personal – but I do keep a ‘clean’ presence on it). Several great offers have come my way. I take it as a sign the IT hiring is really picking up too. Sam From: David Lum [mailto:david@nwea.org] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2013 8:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT: Career and Social Media In case you haven’t noticed, privacy is becoming history. The current young generation by and large expects to be able to find out where there friends and family are, where they eat and shop, and where they work, and they also have no problems sharing their own information with people. As these people become older and enter the corporate world, they will expect to know quite a bit about you whether or not your resume is any good, and they will likely influence company rules… The added twist is just by having family on social media, your information becomes public “I went to my dad’s 40th birthday party yesterday, not too far from the house he was born in”. Presto, your age, date and place of birth given up in one sentence by someone else. In many ways I see keeping privacy in the same vein as not having a car or a phone. You can do it, but it takes a concerted effort and a specific lifestyle to pull it off. (Oddly, I didn’t have this view until I went to a lunch/seminar that was all about security yesterday!). I’m sure when those first came out there were people who said “who needs such a thing!”. I went without a smartphone longer than many folks, but to be relevant/competitive in my field it became necessary to get one (although I still turn off location services except for the specific times I need them) and I am better off for it as it saves me a lot of time vs. if I were to be without it. Heck cellphones are now being used to inform different service providers traffic densities, average speeds, etc. so their mapping software can tell you how to avoid traffic. Big brother is here, the difference is it’s not like The Truman Show because the participants are also getting the benefits of said information. With social media you might not have to look for a new job, it might find you. I can see in a few years the conversation being “Remember when we had so send resume’s out? How lame!”.

The basic instructions say to logon to the website and configure the settings for the device, then put it on the network and have it download all its settings.

I don't doubt that most larger businesses would keep this device under contract. It would be very unwise to do otherwise, although I have seen other businesses that depend on their network, not keep their high dollar network devices under contract.

We have gone a few weeks past an expiration and we can still monitor and make changes. I am sure at some point though you would lose ability to manage it. That is the one part of the whole solution that I am concerned with, but in almost all of my clients they keep up the warranty on their devices, controllers, servers, etc because to have it fail and either the replacement cost or downtime exposure is pretty steep. The renewal cost on the licenses is paying for the service. If you factor the cost of a Rukus, Firetide, Cisco, etc by the time you pay for the AP's, the controller and license cost I am pretty sure you would be very close to the cost over 3 years.

RE: Zultys VOIP?
Matt, thanks for your input. If you're curious about the click to dial... Our ops team does tons of outbound calling. Numbers are stored in an online database. Users fat finger these into their phones. Time consuming; prone to errors. Want I want is to have our users click the number with their mouse to connect them to that number. Zultys's UC client has the ability to dial a number by selecting the text and hitting a hotkey, say F12. From any app. So, it's not really that fancy or unique imo. Simple, and I think all UC apps should do this by default. Some require the phone number to be prefix with the tel: hyperlink denotation, which is fine as well, as we maintain/design the database and can re-code it. -Original Message- From: Matthew W.

RE: Backup to cloud?
Amazon has some super high speed pipes linked to various centers for situations like this. (Called Direct Connect?). Not too familiar with it. I think connections as fast as 10Gbps. You could design your DR strategy around a data center supporting this. Mozy also supports shipping DVDs/Drives. There are also some solutions that allow you to 'spin-up' your backups at the cloud location on a VM. (Check out Unitrends. Veem?). Then, you don't have to download the backups. I put all my 'cloud' backups into the same remote data center I would restore to in a disaster. And some of that even gets backed up to the 'real' cloud (Amazon S3).

However, there are now other tenants in our building, and the subnet is getting too much bandwidth and address consumption - the range I set up is completely filled, and the VLAN is consuming about half of our Internet pipe, which is far too much for my comfort. I suspect the other tenants are leeching. What I've read of captive portals seems to indicate that the portal is part of the firewall. I could be wrong about that, though. Regardless, the corporate firewall will not be allowed to be part of this solution. The only other alternative I see right now is to set up a password on the SSID, and have the front desk hand it out to guests, after mailing it to staff, and I'm getting pushback on that from my manager.

Just read a chapter, and I have a say, I'm hooked. Looking through the TOC, there are so many aspects of security in the book that I have been wanting a better understanding of. All in one place. I already downloaded and combined the PDFs. but heck, I'm buying the paper version of this one! http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html Security Engineering -- The Book 'I'm incredibly impressed that one person could produce such a thorough coverage. Moreover, you make the stuff easy and enjoyable to read. I find it just as entertaining - and far more useful - than novels (and my normal science fiction). When I first got it in the mail, I said to myself I'm never going to read all of that. But once I started reading I just kept going and going. Fantastic: well done. Now, let's hope that all those in charge of security for information technology will also read the book and heed the lessons.'

Thanks J 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.

I always kill the link prior to test dr restore. In a DR scenario, your original endpoint won't be there anyway. Also, In a disaster, I'm going to be restoring servers to the same name.

Pretty much everything except actually switching the public dns records. -Original Message- From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@sfgtrust.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 7:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DR planning Folks, Next week we are testing two disaster scenarios at a remote site (we pay the site and they provide servers only for restore/DR - no live hosting). We have Exchange 2003 here and a variety for 2008/2003 servers as DCs and member servers for file and print. Recommendations for recovery? This is just a simple test to see what we can do. Long-term I'm going to recommend live servers so I have put a DC and replicate files and Exchange 2010 there. For now I'll need to be able to restore some SQL databases for an enterprise system, Exchange 2003, and files for file and print. Since it's a test and I can't restore servers of the same name and such on a live network - we have an MPLS link to DR site - I was thinking of just building a few new servers, add a DC, and install SQL and restore databases. What about Exchange 2003? Is there a way I can restore the databases but only be able to manually pull mail from them? Or would it be better to just build a new Exchange 2003 server and add DR accounts to it. It has been a long time since I've worked with Exchange, so your thoughts are appreciated. Moving forward, what do you folks do for DR? I was thinking at the remote site (always live eventually): DC, SQL server with replicated databases (2012 AlwaysOn I guess), server for file and print using DFS to replicate critical files, another Exchange 2010 server in the current DAG, and a hub/client access server.

RE: windows phone 8
Gosh, been following this thread closely, must say Im very eager to give a Windows Phone another go now. First of all, any online emulators? That would answer a gazillion questions I and others have. I know with Android you can download a SDK and run the OS in a virtual machine. Anything similar? So heres my main question: Im very accustomed to accessing all my important information at a quick glance on my lockscreen (without even unlocking my phone). Just a quick tap of the power button I can view: Outside temp Forecast Upcoming meetings / calendar Unread email/SMS count Battery level And with one gesture I can read all my notifications. There are many other options too. Pretty much anything you can put in a widget, you can access. And I havent even had to unlock my phone yet Can this quick visibility also be easily achieved on a Win8 phone? If so, Id seriously consider it.

I would make a recommendation.
If you have an IPS, then utilize it to do a lot of egress filtering for
known networks that are hosting these exploits and just flat block the Class
C networks. I know its cut down a lot on what I am seeing on my IPS.
A lot of times web filter and AV are going to miss it, or one might catch it
if its too late. But definitely of the exploits and the methods I have
looked at, they are targeting Java Heavily.

I've been trying to keep everything latest and greatest because I've had at
least 3 cases in the past few months where GFI has had to disinfect clients
with fake AV type infections on them. They said the infiltration point was
through JRE6 which was at the latest update available at the time. So
you're SOL either way if your web filter and antivirus both miss it. Only
thing you can do is take it off which doesn't fly around here.

Hmm, out of concern for compatibility, I've kept GPO-installed client
systems at JRE 6 (update 33 is the latest needed for security patches).
Looks like that was a good call and I don't have to worry about this
particular problem, at least not yet. But it will be interesting to see if
Oracle's Java group recognize the seriousness of this and issue an interim
update before the scheduled quarterly update.

RE: 'Clean' power and UPSes, can I skip it for a Redundant Power Supply?
Great point. I might have to test that out with a Killawatt meter and see what my actual savings may be. From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:crawfo...@evangel.edu] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 12:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: 'Clean' power and UPSes, can I skip it for a Redundant Power Supply? Mainly guessing here, but I don't think you're gonna save too much. The load of the server isn't eaten up by the power supplies, but rather the spinning disc, fans and CPU. Eliminating one power supply will just make the other PS work harder. So, in the event of a power failure, instead of drawing 50% of the power from each PS, you'll be drawing 100% from the remaining PS. From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sca...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 11:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 'Clean' power and UPSes, can I skip it for a Redundant Power Supply? So, all of my servers have redundant power supplies. Thinking of ways to extent my UPS run time, I was thinking maybe I could split off the load of the second power supplies on each server and skip the UPS. Therefore, in a power outage, each server only runs off 1 power supply instead of 2. About half the load on my UPS. I think I can live with that. But how risky is it to run servers on non 'clean' power the UPSes provide? I obviously use a rack-grade surge protector from Tripp Lite or something. Worth the risk? Thoughts?

Re: Start an install when an Uninstall completes?
This is working in testing so far. Needs cleanup and I'm going to add
centralized reporting. But in a nutshell, it works.
@echo on
cmd.exe /c MsiExec.exe /qn /norestart /x
{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A951}
@echo off
echo errorlevel = %errorlevel%
if not %errorlevel% == 0 goto err
if %errorlevel% == 0 goto Success
:err
echo Error: Msiexec failed with errorlevel = %errorlevel%
exit /b %errorlevel%

As I recall you can only have one windows installer transaction active at
a time, so I'd guess it monitors the service.
As far as what the OP is trying to accomplish, I'd say it depends on
what is being used to deploy. A batch or script can easily be made to wait
for the first process to complete with an appropriate exit code before
launching the second process.

Anyone scripted this yet?
Product 1 is installed.
Product 2 needs to be installed.
Product 1 has to be uninstalled before Product 2 can be installed.
Hoping to roll the MSI /x and MSI /i commands into one script. Does
MSIEXEC have some controls for this? Or should I programmatically read the
Event Log in a repeating loop until the successful uninstall event is
posted. Or maybe scan the HKLM\Sofware***\Uninstall registry to see if
Product 1 is still in there?
Ideas of what might be the cleanest and most reliable? I feel like I'm
missing something very obvious :-\
TIA,
Sam

I'd say whoever has the best understanding of how workflows should best be taking place in the environment. I've seen too many users ask for something, but a much better system could be applied that will save them more time and keep things more organized, secure, etc. Hence the importance of having the IT dept. closely aware of how the company runs, and how their technology needs to be properly aligned to keep things flowing correctly.

This article states you CAN upgrade/repair from the DVD. It lists the steps. Looks hopeful. http://www.pcworld.com/article/243190-2/how_to_repair_a_corrupt_windows_7_in stallation.html (See page 2) To begin the repair installation process, insert the installation media and run Setup (if it doesn't launch automatically). In the Setup window, click the Install Now button, and you'll have the choice of continuing the installation with downloadable updates or without them. If your Internet connection is working, you should probably choose to download the updates, but you can choose whichever option suits your fancy. Next you must accept the terms of the license and then choose whether to perform an Upgrade installation or a Custom installation. You're repairing a corrupt install, so choose Upgrade (the Custom option won't save your personal files or settings). -Original Message- From: HELP_PC [mailto:g...@enter.it] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 12:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: R: Reinstallation of Windows 7 Upgrade option requires you start from within Windows Guido Elia HELPPC - HELPPC SERVICE -Messaggio originale- Da: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Inviato: giovedì 9 febbraio 2012 18.39 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: Re: Reinstallation of Windows 7 On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 12:13 PM, HELP_PC g...@enter.it wrote: Is there a way to install over Windows 7 starting from the DVD (In case of troubles of booting) http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=reinstallation+of+Windows+7 -- Ben ~ 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 listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

I think our opinions are coloured by our industry and in particular working in (small scale) systems administrator, which is more of a trade than a profession. For many other professions: civil engineering, medicine, accounting - there is no way you'd get anywhere in most countries without a degree. There is simply too much established theory in those fields that you just have to know in order to be useful. Systems engineering might be a bit different because basic theory and principles are not as well established. Software and electrical engineering are perhaps more established, and there are many algorithms, principles and methodologies (like lifecycle management, project management) etc that a structured course such as a degree can help you with. That said, systems engineering will change to. Organisations (starting with the biggest, but I suspect it'll eventually make its way down to the smaller ones) are looking for structured, repeatable, predictable delivery. They outsource. They get x service for $y within z minutes/hours/days. And the companies that provide it (HP/EDS, CSC, IBM, Satyam, Wipro, etc.) all have regulated processes, backed by technologies (invariably built upon ITIL at the moment). If you want to get ahead in this type of world, there'll have to be some theory that you need to learn, because deep technical skills are for architecture/design/implementation, and not operations (except for those in high severity incident management). Operations is about following processes, managing expectations, and executing structured/tested change requests.

RE: Phone / data plan / consultants
I have to chime in and say I love the LogMeIn remote access. Only in a bind though. Great for when you are away from your desk, traveling, vaca, etc. Many times, I don’t even bring my laptop on business or vaca trips anymore. I have all my employees on LogMeIn, so if they need some hands on help, I can just remote into their machine. Same with my workstation – I can then access any server consoles/mmc’s from there. You said something about 4G… I live in a 4G area, and I almost always leave my phone on 3G. (Sprint’s 3G is pretty fast still…) Even LogMeIn works fine on 3G. As for security, treat them all as very insecure. Depends on the week, but all platforms have big security issues at times.

RE: Some Backup Advice Needed
I'm in the same boat you are. BackupExec, SyncBack SQL Backups every few hours to remote site. I do DR fire drills bi-annually, that works great, but I would like our recovery points smaller. Next up, looking at SQL Replication though SQL 2010 Enterprise Exchange 2010 DB Replication And VM replication with Veem. Without knowing what point failed, it's hard to add much advice. Sam From: James Kerr [mailto:cluster...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Some Backup Advice Needed Hello all, In light of a recent issue in which we had some data loss at %dayjob% and a very expensive and ongoing recovery effort, I need to add more layers to our DR policies and procedures going forward. Due the data loss and its affect, I will have more backing ($) to get something more robust implemented. Currently we backup everything to tape with Backup Exec and we backup some data to disk based storage on a storage server for added redundancy and speedy file restores. We backup our SQL databases by having SQL's backup function create backup files to a folder and those files are backed up to tape also. I would like to add online backup to the mix as well and I was wondering what peoples thoughts and recommendations were on that keeping in mind that our data contains personal health information so it needs to be HIPAA compliant. We currently use SyncBack Pro to copy data from a remote office to a server at our main office where it is backed up to tape. I would like something a little more enterprise and idealy something that synchronizes real time. We used to use Replication Exec for this but it is no longer available and hasn't been for some time. I was also thinking about image based backups. Some of the functions of Ultrabac look enticing. Anybody using that? We are backing up files, SQL databases, Hyper-v VMs and an Exchange server. I was also thinking about proceedures where by we check at a regularly scheduled intervals to make sure our backups are actually backing up correctly other then recieving an email saying it was successful. We currently do this but it's on an adhoc basis, when we have time sort of thing. We also need the ability to actually test our backups from time to time and an environment with which to do this and I would love to hear some feedback regarding this, well all of this. It's been a trying couple of weeks and the last 6 months or so have been very hectic which is partially resonsible for the loss we have experienced. I really appreciate anyone who chimes in with some thoughts, or criticisms for that matter.

RE: Neat tip of the week
I got sick of always doing this during DR Test restores, so I set it at the GPO level on all my systems. Done and done for good. -Original Message- From: David Lum [mailto:david@nwea.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 12:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Neat tip of the week Ok so this is an ld tip, but I just recently had a need for it. Ever have a VM that when you assigned it an IP address it complained that (and I am paraphrasing) a hidden network device also has this IP address and if it becomes active there will be a conflict but when you go to device manager and have it show hidden devices there's only one NIC listed? I see this usually when I P2V a machine, but also moving a VM from one environment to another (just copying the VHD's and using the copy to create a new VM) will generate this as well. In any case, here's how you can remedy that little issue: Add in your system environment variables the variable DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES set it's value to: 1 reboot your machine goto your device manager show all hidden devices Works for 2003 Server and later Windows OS's.
