Er, that was sort of a joke, but you can do quite a bit with some scripts 
monitoring the event logs. I am assuming DCs would be the main thrust of your 
interest, so I doubt all servers are DCs, maybe cutting the work down a bit?

SCOM ACS may be a bit OTT :-)

RE: Fiber splice question

[Thomas Mullins]

I do not work at that school on a regular basis.  The fiber was broke during a 
massive snowstorm Dec 18th, 2009.  For whatever reason, the school 
administration did not work through my boss to have this fixed.  They hired an 
outside contractor.  Last week my boss asked me have a look at the fiber run.  
That is how this landed on my desk.

I am assuming you need an IP camera solution. If I am incorrect in my 
assumption, I apologize.

We have used the Milestone XProtect product with good success for the past 
year. Cost is a concern for us, so we went with the "Essentials" edition, which 
basically boils down to $50 per camera licensing costs on a single server. With 
your larger environment, you may wish to use some of their higher-tier 
solutions.

RE: video surveillance software recommendations

[Thomas Mullins]

The biggest problem we are having is cameras showing up in the Monitor Station. 
 Many times, either the analog or IP cameras will drop out.  Another big 
problem is, if you password protect the IP cameras, one or more of the IP 
cameras fail to show up in the Monitor Station.  Many cameras just drop out.  
Another problem is the Video Server s/w will not save changes.

Curious.  What bugs are you seeing?
Do you have IP cameras or analog to ip converters?  We have a mix.
What brand cameras if they are IP.  I've heard some cameras work better than 
others.  All our IP cameras are various model Axis.
We are running ver 4.3.0.30 x32 with 85 cameras and it works well.
My biggest complaint is they don't have an easy upgrade path to the X64 version.
We had one issue where the embedded sql database reached the 4gig limit, but 
tech support worked tirelessly to find and resolve the problem.
Turned out that the system had lost delete rights to the video folder and it 
couldn't delete old files.
Fortunately we didn't run out of space.
System is on a Dell pe-2950 with 6tb video storage. 2x ZEON 2.x cpu and 4 gig 
ram.  OS is Win 2008.
Like I said, I'd like to upgrade to win 2008r2 but they said we would loose our 
config and videos.
I'm thinking that next year we will upgrade the server and start over with the 
64bit version.

Anyone have any favorites?  I've used 3COM/HP here for years.  But...I tried to

now HP is being obsterperous about returning it.  So it does not have to be HP.
 
Thanks,

I hope this is not off topic too much.  But, here goes:

We had a piece of multimode fiber that was damaged at a local high school.  
This piece of fiber ran no more than 300 yards from the main building to a 
field house.

The original piece of fiber was multimode.  The local school had an outside 
company splice the damaged section.  This company made the splice with single 
mode fiber.  Multimode fiber has a diameter of about 62.5 microns, single mode 
fiber has a diameter of 8 to 10 microns.  I have no idea if this is legal.

This piece of fiber will not light up for me.  The school purchased FX 
transceivers.  To my knowledge, FX transceivers will work with both single and 
multi mode fiber.

company splice the damaged section.  This company made the splice with single 
mode fiber.  Multimode fiber has a diameter of about 62.5 microns, single mode 
fiber has a diameter of 8 to 10 microns.  I have no idea if this is legal.

This piece of fiber will not light up for me.  The school purchased FX 
transceivers.  To my knowledge, FX transceivers will work with both single and 
multi mode fiber.

Thanks

turn the Bionic sideways the on screen keyboard becomes pretty big...bigger

this is one of those instances where until you force yourself to get used to

  Where did "txt_netblocks.pearsoncmg.com" come from?  That doesn't appear to 
be an existent domain name.  It's even questionable syntax; Internet host names 
aren't supposed to contain underscores.

  Also, you want to query the authoritative nameservers directly; otherwise, 
you're just seeing what's in your cache.  Given your original message, I found:

> dig +noall +ans ANY media.pearsoncmg.com. @ns.pearsoncmg.com.
media.pearsoncmg.com.   900 IN  CNAME
media.pearsoncmg.com.edgesuite.net.

  Mr. Aldrich is right: This appears to be hosted by a Content Distribution 
Network, so you're likely to find the IP address varies all over the place.

I don't know about other firewalls, but recent SonicWalls allow you to create

something like that be an option?  It's been exactly the ticket for me when

Good morning everyone,

Our students have an online class that uses a lot of videos.  When ran through 
the general student proxy, the quality of these videos is very bad.  In the 
past when we have these issues, we would route traffic to these hosts out a NAT 
gateway.  Then we would tell IE not to proxy for that host.  This may not be 
the best way,  but it works for our situation.

This particular host media.pearsoncmg.com uses a round robin type of DNS.  If 
you do a DNS lookup today, you may get 64.211.144.100.  Then another class will 
get something like 69.31.16.217.  We have contacted the people who run the 
course, and they will not give us the IP range.   Is there a way I can get that 
information across the net?

Thanks

I am experiencing a bit of a network problem with, at the moment, is more of an

gratuitious ARP packets.  (I did eventually hunt it down, but for the future...)

Using Wireshark, I have the MAC address of the offending NIC.  Again, for the 
future, is there a ping command switch or something else which will enable me 
to enter the MAC address and have the IP returned?

Wireshark does indicate the offender is a Dell system.  However, being mostly a 
Dell shop, pinging each node here and then examining my ARP cache is rather 
slow...

RE: PIX replacement

[Thomas Mullins]

I would vote for the ASA,

For small offices, the ASA 5505 runs about $370.  The "maintenance
agreement" is only $70 a year, and allows you tech support for setup
issues and next day replacement.  

The 5505 has some very nice features, especially for VOIP.

The higher end ASA appliances get pricey.  But the 5505 has similar
features as the higher end models.

I did this is one remote site where they had a small (sometimes
changing) list of sites they wanted to allow.  They had a low end router
and 1 Windows server.  What I did was installed a proxy server on the
server - the one I used was relatively low cost ( somewhere around $75)
called ccproxy, which allows setting up an "allow only" list of sites,
as well as different rules for different groups of computers, which I
also needed.  I pointed all their browsers to the proxy server, and
allowed only the server to have internet access at the router.  

 

Assuming they're not on a Windows domain, the hosts file with no DNS
settings would work unless you have an enterprising user who knows to
access sites by ip address.

and then running them while running the application is about the best

Cisco doesn't provide content filtering with any of their firewall

feature set (ie 85x and 87x series routers).

All Cisco does is provide a way for the firewall to communicate with a
content filtering service like Secure Computing SmartFilter or Websense.

The previously-mentioned firewall products will also transparently work
with some generic web proxies (some of which have content filtering
mechanisms) via WCCP.

Those products are the ones you should be researching.
