Re: IIS Question

[Tigran K]

I'm assuming you are on IIS7.
There are many ways. One of them is to use IIS http redirect. There's an
icon for it in IIS called HTTP Redirect. Or add something like this in the
web.config.

Re: mobile scanner

[Tigran K]

The difficulty is in two steps 1 to get the image to the phone 2 to send
the picture to the final destination. But if I can have a scanner scan and
send to final destination (via FTP? or some other means) that would be
better. Looks like the Xerox scanner with Eye-Fi can do that. I'm just
wondering if there is anybody that has experience with this product.

Thanks

mobile scanner

[Tigran K]

I'm looking for a mobile scanning solution. So far the best option seems to
be this product.
http://www.xeroxscanners.com/en/us/products/XMS/default.asp?PN=XMS

Any other suggestions. I need it to scan single or multi page pdfs and
wirelessly transfer to remote server via FTP or some other means.

The Xerox product uses Eye-Fi which is mostly intended for images (JPEGs).
Not sure if it will transfer PDFs as well.

Re: Joomla site move

[Tigran K]

You should be able to just take the backup zip they send you restore it to
a new server change the configurations (connection strings and such) and
have the site up and running. Do that then tackle the upgrade to latest
Joomla.

Make sure the MySQL backup they give you includes both schema and data.

Re: Robocopy reliability

[Tigran K]

So his reliability comment was directed more toward robocopy utility
itself. Eluding to the fact that he's seen robocopy copy files that turned
out to be not the same as the original.

We're not doing anything complex. We want to copy some files from source
control and catch deleted files at the same time. So instead of deleting
the entire destination folder and copying new files from source control.
I'm saying it's as simple as robocopy /mir and that's it. That way whatever
file is removed from source control will get removed on the destination
servers as well.

Re: Managed service

[Tigran K]

Thanks for the reply David.

Two questions.
Where is the archive?
The company I'm working with wants to do a monthly fee type of a thing. For
general support. Is this common? Do you know how much is reasonable for a
monthly deal?

We have a hourly rate set for projects.

Thanks

Re: IIS 7.5 and OWASP

[Tigran K]

Edward summed it up really well. Just wanted to add that some of the OWASP
top 10 items can not be protected against no matter what you do with IIS.
It's the underlying code. So it's more of a question of what product you
are looking at instead of just IIS.

Yes it is. Look for HTTP Redirect in IIS under your web app.

full system backup

[Tigran K]

Need help finding a full system/bare metal backup system for a small
auto mechanic shop. They have 2 computers that are mission critical.
Any suggestions for full backup that will get them up an running if
hardware or software fails?
Some level of data loss is acceptable. They just want to make sure
they can buy another system and be up and running in a day. I wanted
to get a feel of what others use.

Thanks

together. I'm just saying give the tech lead guy a more overseer role than
the PM.

Re: PMI PMP Certification

[Tigran K]

Usually resorting to personal attacks means you have run out of arguments.
It's a form of fallacy.

The example I gave was simplified for your benefit. The example is based on
multi-million project for a 3bl company.

The model you layout is exactly the problem. Contract dev from anywhere who
doesn't have vested interest in the project or any oversight can be the
single deciding factor for the project. No matter how good a PM is they
can't tell if the project is going down the right path when it comes to
development because they just don't understand. A Dev can tell a PM that
some thing is impossible. The PM won't know how to question that Dev to see
if it really is impossible or not.

With my model a Dev Lead would be able to see problems before they come up
and direct the project. And if you have a Tech Lead who knows how to do
that. Somebody that doesn't code but directs instead then you don't really
need a PM.

My argument is in IT and more specifically with PM rank and pay. I'm sure a
PM in building move doesn't command same salary as IT PM.

They both work for you then you are the problem. You can't get out of your
shell and see how my method would work and be much more beneficial. In your
world anything a PM wants to do he has to ask the technical workers and then
act. The PM is just a middle man. Cut him out. This happens with countless
projects. PM schedules a meeting, gets everybody in a room to discuss the
matter at hand. When all is said and done the techi goes back to his desk
spends 30 minutes fixing a problem that they just spend talking about for 1
hour.

By the way what I'm suggesting isn't out of this world. It's being used at
many successful companies, for example Facebook.

The only thing I see project managers do is schedule meetings, take notes
that nobody will see and get in the way of good technical discussions.

Can somebody tell me why they need a cert program to use outlook?

If you have not applied for the test, you better get on it. If you are lucky
to get audited, I do not think you will be able to get it in by the 31st.
You also have to document 4500 hours of project management experience.

I was wondering if there were any certified PMPs out there that could give
me pointers on the exam.



I had planned on taking it in around two months, but I just caught wind of
the fact PMI is changing it on August 31. So now I’m cramming to see if I
can get it done before the change.



I took two project management courses in grad school pretty recently, and am
currently reading a couple of PMP study guides.

Re: simple file sharing software

Sharepoint foundation is free
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en

Works great for small setup.

Re: Google Calendar Sync

[Tigran K]

Do you a few calendars setup? The outlook sync is via Google exchange
server. I remember when I setup exchange from my iPhone I had to
select which calendars to sync with the iphone. So if I have two
calendars and HTC is configured to sync to calendar A but outlook is
configured to sync to calendar b you might see your scenario.

What happens when you create an entry in outlook and edit that entry
on the HTC do the changes sync back to Outlook? In other words not a
new entry but existing entry.

Google has a configuration site where you can select which calendars
to sync with Exchange.

Scanner recommendations please

[Tigran K]

Looking for a fast reliable document feeding scanner under $500 ish.
Any recommendations? Price is not hard set so if you think going to
$700 ish might get me something that's much much better please don't
leave it out.

Something for a small business that's trying to digitize all their documents.

Thanks

Interactive White board recommendation

[Tigran K]

Looks like we have some money to burn and interactive white board is what we
would like to burn it on. Any experience in that? Any recommendations? I
understand there are a few different kinds a projection type or pressure
sensors on the board or maybe something else. All options are open for now.

Looking forward to your comments.

Something that does not require much setup. Something like Password

Server list application

[Tigran K]

So I started a new job and as natural there are tens of dev servers,
qa servers, production servers that are floating around. As always
nobody has a complete list anywhere.

Is there an application that will keep all the names for me with
capability to have notes?
I don't need anything that scans the network I just want to manage my
list manually.

Thanks

Re: OT: SQL Question

[Tigran K]

You can do this manually if you really want to. Get this hex editor
http://www.box.net/shared/eugsmcip6i it's the only one I found that lets you
past hex data.

Find the binary content in the database. Copy the content of the field into
the hex editor and save the file with the proper extension. Make sure to
tell HexEdit that you are pasting hex instead of text.

But my guess is you're looking for something more automated to grab all the
files and save to disk. I can give you some code that grabs binary data from
db and saves to a file. Not sure how comfortable you are with editing the
code to get it to read your specific data. Contact me off the list if you
want some C# code.

Re: Password protect a folder

Not only you get password access you also get encryption.
You can map to a drive letter I'm not sure if you can map to a folder.

Re: How do I enable mutual SSL in IIS7 with a self-signed certificate?

[Tigran K]

Thank you all for the replies. Brian you said the magic words I need
PKI infrastructure. I was trying to do this with the self sign option
in IIS 7. As far as I can tell un-doable. I accomplished my goal by
installing certificate services.

Re: How do I enable mutual SSL in IIS7 with a self-signed certificate?

[Tigran K]

I used the accepted answer on this page to make some certs including
changing the -eku to "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2" to generate a client cert but
still did not work.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/496658/using-makecert-for-development-ssl

At this point I'm thinking mutual ssl is not possible in IIS7 with
self signed cert.

How do I enable mutual SSL in IIS7 with a self-signed certificate?

[Tigran K]

I've created a self-signed certificate in IIS7. Then I exported this
certificate to a .pfx and then installed it on the client machine's IE
browser. Then I set "Require Client Certificate" on the server's IIS
configuration. When I try to visit the site with IE, a dialog box
comes up for me to choose a certificate, however, there are no certs
in that dialog box. When I click "OK" without choosing any certs, I
get a 403 forbidden error. How can I make this work?

Appreciate the help in advance.

Re: server shutdown automation

[Tigran K]

The UPSes we have don't have the option to connect to the server and
buying new UPSes is out of the question at this time.

server shutdown automation

[Tigran K]

Hello,

Just wondering what's the best way. Power goes out sometimes at my
location. We all go into a frenzy on turning off non essential
servers. I'm wondering if there's a better faster way of doing this.

So far my plant is a text file with non-essential server names and a
vbscript that calls psshutdown for each server with proper
credentials. Is there a better way? Maybe some kind of overall
management tool that can automate this?

Thanks

Re: data sync question

[Tigran K]

Agreed, however I'm looking for a product that lists all tables in two
databases and I just choose the from table to table from column to
column and in the middle if it's not a one to one relationship do some
kind of lookup.

So a simple user walk through would be.

Select source db (oldDB)
Select destination db (newDB)
Select source table (People)
Select destination table (Customers)
Select source column (Phone Number Type)
Select destination column (Phone Number Type ID)
Mark as a lookup field
Select lookup table (Phone Number Type Lookup)

Source column is phone number type which is a string, destination is
an ID from Phone number type lookup table.
So in source db the field says "Home" for phone number type and in
destination it must insert the ID of Home which it can lookup what it
is in the lookup table.

data sync question

[Tigran K]

This is more of a database question but I'm sure the collective smarts
in this email list will know the answer.

I'm looking for a product that will do 2 way sync of ms sql databases.
I have data in X database that needs to move to Y database and then in
reverse. However data is being updated in both databases all the time.
So an application uses X that data should move to Y. Another
application uses Y that data should move to X. To make things worse.
The schema is not the same. The data is but the schema isn't so some
kind of translation has to occur. An example could be X has customers
table with phone number. That translates to Y customers table and
phone numbers table.

Anybody know of a product that can do this?

Many thanks for the help.

I'm trying to find a solution for gathering employee information and
generating reports for management. The reports mostly are stuff from Active
Directory. Things like what groups employee belongs to what shares they have
access to. So assuming standard stuff from AD I would also like to include
things like badge numbers, phone extensions and cubical locations.

Re: OT: What makes a sql connection

[Tigran K]

That's what I get for trying to think before breakfast.
Yes your app should not have anything to do with it.
Thanks for the correction Andy.


In other words yes you could get 1700+ cals or you can just get processor
license.

*Q.*  What exactly is a processor license and how does it
work?<http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/pricing-licensing-faq.aspx#>

*A.*

A processor license gives you the right to install any number of copies of
SQL Server 2005 on a single computer, as long as you have purchased
processor licenses for all of the processors on that computer. If you have
made a processor inaccessible to all operating system copies on which the
SQL Server software is set up to run, you do not need a software license for
that processor. In a virtualized environment, processor licenses are
required for every processor that is accessed by a virtual machine. Please
see the virtualization licensing
brief<http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/virtualization_brief.doc>and
virtualization
white 
paper<http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/virtualization_whitepaper.doc>for
further detail. Find out more about how Microsoft
Adapts Windows Server System Licensing to Virtualization
Scenarios<http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/highlights/virtualization.mspx>
.

In addition to the installation rights to the actual server software,
processor licenses also grant any number of devices or users the right to
access and use the server software running on those processors. These access
rights are available to all devices or users, regardless of whether they are
inside the organization (intranet scenarios) or outside the organization
(intranet or extranet scenarios). The processor license contains all that
you need. With a processor license, there is no need to purchase separate
server licenses, CALs, or Internet connector licenses.

Re: OT: What makes a sql connection

[Tigran K]

It all depends on how your application is written. It is possible to pass
each user to the sql server as separate connection in which case you would
need cals for each user. It is also possible to have the application make
only one connection in which case processor based license is the way to go.

You should really be looking at the application to figure out which one you
have.
At 1700+ users I'd say you definitly want to go processor based, but that's
not to say you can't make a case for having user based setup.

Re: capture users to timesheet automagically?

[Tigran K]

I didn't mean to suggest the proxy will do that for you. It's
something you will have to cook yourself.
Take a look at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ProxyAuthentication

Re: capture users to timesheet automagically?

[Tigran K]

How much control do you have over the timesheet?  You can query not
completed timesheets then feed that to your proxy. If you are using a
proxy.

Re: Desktop Backup Con't

[Tigran K]

How about a windows service that watches the folder and syncs as soon
as there are changes?
That can be done in a few minutes.

Re: Shell scripting - IF this OR that ?

You're gonna have to nest the if statements. Or use vbscript.

Re: Help Desk/Trouble Ticket software

[Tigran K]

I would love a help desk software that is based on email. Don't get me
wrong I want the database backend to keep track of everything but why
do I have to leave email to look at a ticket then respond to it within
the ticketing web/client interface. Can I just get the ticket via
email and reply to it via email and have the ticketing system keep
track of it. Say every email back and forth between me and the
customer is CCed to the ticketing system.

Anybody know of a system like that?
