I wanted to see of anyone had suggestions/recommendations on alternatives that aren't going to trigger a huge price jump. Are we going to be better off having a provider/company for SSL and another for DNS, or are there good options that provide both?

It makes sense to me to have ready spare hardware, and it seems to me if I had one server in my lab ready to go as a temporary stand-in Hyper-V host I could offer this as a cheaper alternative as to asking them to have a full 2nd server onsite in a cluster. My thinking is: * Have one server, just powerful enough to work as a stand-in server in either environment (16GB RAM, enough SAS disk space to cover the biggest Hyper-V host) with an IT Garage licensed 2008 R2 Host OS (both my clients are running this). * If either client has a hard server failure, I run my hardware out and restore their backups to this hardware. This gets them up and running while I resolve whatever the issue might be on their production server * Once their primary system is back up, bring this hardware back to my lab It looks like I can get some hardware in the $1000 range for this, but the catch is I'd like to have my clients offset some if not all of the cost. Would it make sense to offer them this spare server available service with a monthly fee associated, or a one-time cost? Surely other IT shops offer the same thing in some fashion. I did a proof-of-concept of this this weekend, I grabbed a client's SBS2011 backup and restored it to my own ITG server (has just 8GB RAM through and SATA not SAS, so not enough oomph to run both SBS2011 and the 2008R2 server that comes with Premium) and restored to it and it worked beautifully. It's possible of course that both clients could have an outage on the same day, in which case I'd totally screwed in many ways, so not sure how to handle not being able to deliver something they've been paying for, except maybe a if this service can't be delivered then something as they do know that I am a one-man shop with a day job to boot. I may be overlooking some other options here as well, so I am open to suggestions.

It seems like, based on the problems people face when attempting the migration process, it'd be easier, and take FAR fewer hours, to just set the new SBS 2011 box up as a new domain by itself. This way I don't even have to touch the old SBS 2003 server at all (even upgrading it with all the required service packs and patches for the MS migration process might take hours, geez). So I'm thinking... 1. Build new SBS 2011 physical server and setup new domain. 2. Setup new Sonic Wall firewall for internet access (replaces ISA 2004) 3. Login to each of the 9-10 user machines/laptops as the user and a. Backup their Exchange email to a PST file b. Document mapped drives and locations c. Backup their internet Favorites d. ...what else might I be missing here? 4. Begin copying over files/data from various network shares/folders from SBS 2003 server to SBS 2011 server and re-create folder shares, setup NTFS permissions, etc. 5. Re-create each of the 9-10 user accounts in the new SBS 2011 domain 6. Un-join each of the 9-10 user machines/laptops from old SBS 2003 domain 7. Join each of the 9-10 user machines/laptops to the new SBS 2011 domain 8. Login to each of the 9-10 user machines/laptops as the user and a. Import their PST file into the SBS 2011 server b. Re-create mapped drives c. Restore Internet Favorites d. ...what else might I be missing here? 9. Re-install GFI anti-spam software on SBS 2011 server (was previously installed on SBS 2003) 10. They have 3 member-servers running 2008. I would also need to un-join those from the SBS 2003 domain and join them to the new SBS 2011 domain. 11. Missing anything else? Seems like a workable plan which I can do over a Friday/Saturday... I've heard so many horror stories about the Microsoft method that I'm very leary about doing it (this is just one example of MANY issues like this I've read about: http://www.jephens.com/2011/07/29/upgrading-sbs-2003-to-sbs-2011/) In my scenario of just building a new domain, am I missing anything in my steps 1-12?

I came across the aptly named Bulk Rename Utility ( www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ ). If you need to rename files, this free utility is great. You can do things like replace underscores with dashes, append date/time to file names, append serialized numbers to file names (ex -0001, 0002 etc.). You can also use it to change file attributes like archive bits and date stamps. The main screen is like looking at the dashboard of a 747 but like the help file says, Don't Panic. Generally you are only going to use a 1/4 of the options. What I like is that it gives you a preview of what your setting will do to the files you have selected. When you're satisfied with the results, then you commit the changes. It's primarily aimed at people who work with audio files but I'm sure you network admins out there from time to time run into things like this. I'm not affiliated in any way with the developers.

RE: McAfee DAT problems
This was posted an hour ago - McAfee antivirus program goes berserk, freezes PCs By PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson, Ap Technology Writer - 26 mins ago NEW YORK - Computers in companies, hospitals and schools around the world got stuck repeatedly rebooting themselves Wednesday after an antivirus program identified a normal Windows file as a virus. McAfee Inc. confirmed that a software update it posted at 9 a.m. Eastern time caused its antivirus program for corporate customers to misidentify a harmless file. It has posted a replacement update for download. We are not aware of significant impact on consumers and believe we have effectively limited such occurrence, the company said in a statement. Online posters begged to differ, saying thousands of computers running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 were rendered useless. About a third of the hospitals in Rhode Island were forced to stop treating patients without traumas in emergency rooms. The hospitals also postponed some elective surgeries, said Nancy Jean, a spokeswoman for the Lifespan system of hospitals. The system includes Rhode Island Hospital, the state's largest, and Newport Hospital, the only hospital on Aquidneck Island. Jean said patients who required emergency care for gunshot wounds, car accidents, blunt trauma and other potentially fatal injuries were still being admitted to the emergency rooms. In Kentucky, state police were told to shut down the computers in their patrol cars as technicians tried to fix the problem. The National Science Foundation headquarters in Arlington, Va., also lost computer access. Peter Juvinall, systems administrator at Illinois State University in Normal, said that when the first computer started rebooting it quickly became evident that it was a major problem, affecting dozens of computers at the College of Business alone. I originally thought it was a virus, he said. When the tech support people concluded McAfee's update was to blame, they stopped further downloads of the faulty software update and started shuttling from computer to computer to get them working again. Such personal attention to each PC from a technician appeared to be the only way to fix the problem because the computers weren't receptive to remote software updates when stuck in the reboot cycle. That slowed the recovery. Intel Corp. appeared to be among the victims, according to employee posts on Twitter. Intel did not immediately return calls for comment.

From: Kyle Plummer [mailto:kplum...@nje.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 3:46 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Spontaneous server reboots I have an HP DL380G4 server that randomly reboots. At first I suspected an issue with Windows. However, I booted into the BIOS and let it sit there for a few minutes. Again at random intervals the system will reboot. Sometimes I can't even get all the way into the BIOS. I replaced the memory modules with new ones (twice, just to be sure) - still reboots randomly even from the BIOS. I suspect an issue with the motherboard. Any other possible causes, or has anyone experienced this with the G4's? It had run for about four years prior with no issue until this started. No other hardware changes or updates to the BIOS have been done in the last year (only Windows patches). Thanks in advance, Kyle B.

RE: Netgear Pro Safe gs748t
I just purchased the 24 Port version of this switch. Aside from the 1st switch being DOA, the replacement switch seems pretty good for the money. If you want to see traffic on a port, you will need to mirror the port which this switch does support and use a sniffer. Michael Walker Senior Network Engineer Citrus Valley Health Partners 140 W.

Where do old PST files go when their accounts are deleted?
Try looking here - C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook PSTs and OSTs are usually stored in the above folder. If the file was deleted, you can try using a file restore program like EasyRecovery from www.ontrack.com to recover the file. Good luck!
