RE: windows phone 8
I am also thinking about the Nokia 920. The reviews look good. I am a Blackberry user and have been for years, you cannot beat them for enterprise mail. So one thing that use a lot is Exchange Notes, and it turns out that Microsoft does not sync Notes. This is also the case for iPhone and android, which is why I was looking at the Windows Phone. I find it hard to believe that MS is not fully using ActiveSync on their device. I am not alone, as this seems to be a be issue with Blackberry convertees. So far I have not been able to find a way to get Notes on the phone without having to move them to OneNote, which I do not want to separate that out. And the consumer side of me is hesitant on a Windows Phone because of lack of apps. I not one that wants much in the way of apps but the key areas I want are not there. I use several banks and none of them have full apps like on iPhone and android; I have Comcast and they have nothing on Windows phone; and I have a young son that loves Disney and they only have apps on iPhone. From the app side, iPhone has it all, but I am doing my best to resist drinking the Kool-Aid.

RE: KMS at non-server sites?
So these systems are members of a workgroup? What DNS do you have them pointed to, for corporate systems? If you have them pointing to an external DNS, I would suggest using a MAK license. You do not want to put your KMS server external and place entries in the external facing DNS server, because others could use it to validate licenses. If the systems are connection to the internal corporate DNS, then you only have to set their FQDN to the same as the domain so they query the KMS service records correctly.

The only traffic traversed the VPN is from the copier, for automatic notifications and messages to the SMTP server here. These remote machines are not in the domain.

RE: iPhone user can still send emails after being disabled in AD
But it was attached to the corporate network so not erasing it also has liability. What if this guy sends out a e-mail from the company telling customers to stop using the company? We tell our users on the frontend that if they want to use their device to attach to corporate e-mail, then we will send a erase on termination. They know that is coming so if they remove the Exchange setup before we send it then they are good and so are we since the e-mail has been removed. From: Michael B.

RE: Win 2008 DNS console
Long story, trust me it cannot be done due to having separate DNS masters for AD and Linux. If I do the 10.0.0.0 reverse zone it would make AD authoritative for the entire 10 class A so forwards to the Linux DNS would not happen and reverse lookups would fail. That aside, I still need to know if there is a way to have the name display like it did in 2003. From: Andrew S.

I spent about a day creating PC/server groups (tied to AD/ldap or IP - your preference), then another day creating my various patch groups. Since then (about a year) I've modified the patch groups maybe once or twice. Once you create the PC groups, the patch groups, and schedule the patches, that's pretty much it. Very easy, and excellent reporting. Using SCCM, patching was equally granular as the KBox, but I hated having to spend time to clean up my patch lists. I have not used SCCM in a year, so perhaps this has changed. There is a metering component that you might find useful. Or reports do the same thing. If it matters, I've found Kace/Dell support to be excellent, better than most vendors I've worked with. If you need something and can't figure it out, the support guys will give you a hand.

RE: Strange Time issue
We kept getting time issues when we had ESX set the time on Windows servers because the domain will adjust the server time and then the ESX system adjust it back.

Moving the Cluster Host Server will only cause a blip for the users if you have resources tied to that name. So depends on the cluster setup.

RE: iPhone and Exch 2007?
We have iphones in place. Started with Exchange 2003 but now Exchange 2007. Managing devices is much better in 2007, it is part of the user account where Exch 2003 require the Mobile Admin web site, which is awful. Our big problem with doing activesync is policy control, remote wipe, and the user can have as many devices as they want. I love the Blackberry environment because you can set a policy for everything on the device, with AS you only get basic settings. If you remote wipe a device it does not respond back that it was successful done, unlike a Blackberry. Once the user has the AS setup information, they can connect as many devices as they want. We have a Good server in place for user that wanted Palm and Windows mobile devices, before AS. We have a project in place to upgrade that environment to the latest version so we can see how well it works on the iphones.

OCS and Cisco Call Manager
Just wanted to see if anyone in the community has worked to deploy a OCS system using Cisco Call Manager for call routing. We are in the process of deploying OCS for internal IM. We also have Call Manager in place and all users have desk phones. The plan would be to still have desk phones for all users, at this time, and also allow OCS to function as a soft phone if the user is at the office or away. So basically have a split setup so both phones ring, desk phone and OCS, the user can use either to answer. This should then update the OCS presence to indicate On Phone. I am being told there are issues connecting OCS to the Cisco RCC gateway (CUPS). Just curious if anyone has done this and what they found out.

RE: Blackberry Q
Moving a message to a PST looks the same to the BES server as a hard delete.

There is a option on the BES server named Hard Deletes Reconciliation. When this feature is enabled, messages that are hard-deleted from the desktop email program are deleted from the BlackBerry device. This option was put in to take care of this situation, but I do not recall if that works completely. I know I have deleted items and they still appear on the device.

Not a big deal since these logs are not very big, but something to keep a eye on. Also, this only logs devices with 4.x software.

RE: iPhone 3G, Exchange, and you
One more thing with this. We are still running Exch 2003. Unlike the BES, a user can have multiple devices assigned to the users mailbox. When you send a wipe command, if the device is on it will wipe. The Web Manger shows the wipe command was received and processed. If you do not delete or remove wipe for the user, anytime that user reconnects the device it will start a sync and wipe it again. The good thing about that is if a device is stolen or lost and you send a wipe, it will stay there until you remove it so if someone turns on the device 3 months later and tries to connect it will get the wipe. With Blackberry if you send a kill and the device is off it will not get the command, then you assign a new device to the user that kill goes away. So if the device comes on 3 months later it will not wipe. We have decided to hold off with iPhone, and anything using ActiveSync, until we deploy Exchange 2007. The reporting and management with Exch 2003 is awful so we want this in place. Also the policies in Exch 2007 are more like BES and Good.

RE: DNS GONE!!!! Frack me
If the DNS zone that is missing was a AD integrated zone then the other DC should also be empty. If not, then it sounds like you have AD issues. You should not have to seize the roles and rebuild since the server is still up and running. -Original Message- From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DNS GONE Frack me You should be able to delete the zone and re-add it. If you are using DHCP and your clients are configured to register to DNS, the list should repopulate, except for any alias or static entries. Are the DNS services running? Did you try a reboot first?

DC(1) Holds all the FSMO roles and runs DNS, and DHCP. DC(2) is a second GC and also runs DNS. DC(1) has lost all of its DNS information. Is empty. Whats the fastest / best way to recover from this? 1. Can I uninstall create a new zone and sync from DC(2) 2. Restore just the DNS from tape 3. Since there is no DNS on DC(1) I'm betting that transfering roles from DC's are not going to work. Computers atm are able to log into the domain but exchange is down.

RE: Dell servers vs. Compaq
We were a Compaq shop when we switched to NT 4 years ago. Since that initial server purchase, we started buying Dell. The servers are iron clad. If you have a problem, the support at Dell is pretty good. The one thing that Dell does not have that I loved with Compaq was the Insight Manger product. I was very easy to get the latest drivers/firmware/etc. and install them on the server. Dell has a remote card (DRAC) that will give you the same functionality as the Remote Insight Board, but they do not have a utility that will seamlessly download and install the drivers and firmware updates. They have a product called OpenManage that will allow you to pull down the files by system type but you still have to create diskettes or manually install from the hard drive. Even though Dell does not have a product that is nearly as good as Insight Manager I still choose the Dell's over Compaq. They run as well as Compaq and they have always cost less. Also, I have noticed that Dell does not produce as many system updates as Compaq did, that is why the loss of Insight Manager was not that big of a deal. js * John Senter * Sr. NT System's Administrator * St. Jude Children's Research Hospital * 332 N.

I'm all familiar with Insight Manager etc and we even have a few of the remote insight boards installed.Does Dell have equivalents? How about doing things like firmware upgrades?

Printer redirects
I am bring up a new server that I want to move printers and data on to. My question is, is there a way to redirect the printers on the old server to queues on the new server? I do not want to have to touch each machine that has a printer pointing to the old server. This is something I want to do over time. We only use TCP/IP for our printers and I have already created the queues on the new server. I know I can leave the old queues active, but I do not want to maintain two separate queues for the same printer. This would confuse the Helpdesk when it came to a user calling about a hung print job. I have looked at Sunbelt's Print Manager Plus, to see what it would do. It looks like it will only move the job to the new, which keeps 2 queues and a chance of a hang up.
