Re: Patch management recommendations
I'd take a look at the KACE (Now Dell) Kbox systems, the last time I looked at them a couple of years ago they did all that. Available as both physical Dell boxes or VM appliances. If I remember correctly I think they had a multiple tenancy facility, but I could be mistaken. There are a few users of them on here I believe who may be able to correct me.

As we increase our client load and the size of the clients (moving from the 3-10 seat to the 50-1000 seat clients) we are implementing more advanced products for a variety of tasks. We are currently looking at patch management solutions. Our current paradigm is a mix of WSUS and manual intervention, but it's not enough, obviously. I haven't used a centralized patch management system for around 5-6 years (used to use early versions of Shavlik) so I haven't been keeping up with the market. We're now looking for something that does 3rd party apps, not just MS stuff, so WSUS is off the table. Our clients are all on MS platforms, though; almost no *nix or Apple. I don't envision a one-size-fits-all product. I expect that we'll want a variety of solutions tailored to the size and complexity of the client. And I have no illusions about the ease of patch management given any product. :-) My boss would love an MSP-style of centrally managed product that can handle all our clients, but my belief is that trying to go that route is much more difficult than doing per-client implementations, especially without dedicated patch management admins. Having said all that, is anyone working with patch management systems that they really like for this space? Also, any you really DON'T like?

Re: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
I think there are a few people on here that use it. At my last place we tested it, before and after the Dell acquisition. Even got very close to buying it, but the week it was due to be signed off the company went into administration. The features were good and I had been pushing for months to get it, but then I moved on to pastures new and they didn't follow it up. They used to have a vm that you could run for 30 days with I think 10 clients.

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.

RE: recovering dead server hard drives
I came across something sort-of similar recently when resilience testing a new ESXi host. Both PSUs had green lights, but when the engineer pulled the first power cable the server died.

He explained that the office lost power and when power was restored everything can back up but the office couldn't connect to the server. After a few quick questions went to the office and the server looked and sounded like it was on but no video. Server was under the counter with screens on the doors. Area was warm when I opened it. Not good I'm thinking. Tried another monitor, same no video. Opened case and saw neither the case fan or the CPU fan spinning. Held in power switch to shut down. It looks like the motherboard is dead. Press power button and power supply fan starts, lights come on but nothing else. No beeps and no video. Thoughts on trying to recover the data. I can put the drives into another system but if I remember correctly software RAID writes to the hard drive and the Windows software doesn't recognize them. So it asks you to initialize them. Does that change anything on the hard drive? I'm trying to see if I can get to the data before the last resort is to a hard drive recovery place. Additional information. Of course he has no documentation on info on the server. Asked if he had a backup and said it was on the server. I see no external drives or tape device. Really not good I'm thinking now. And of course he says all his stuff is on the server. Great! No backup all his office files are on the server. I ask if he knows if the drives are mirrored or using some form of RAID. No idea. Server has 4 SATA drives. One is 80GB which I think is the Windows system drive and three 250GB which are unknown. The sever has a Super Micro motherboard (out of warranty) and I think is setup with software RAID. But I don't know if it might be 1 or 5 or what. Server is a few years old, original guy not around anymore, and so on. I have another server I could try and use the drives on but will have to do a repair because of the hardware change. Original server single socket P4, my server dual socket Xeon, both populated. I certainly don't want to destroy the data so am planning my next move.

Re: Windows 7 Imaging
+100, I used MDT2010 at %prevjob% for XP deployments, 1 image for all the Dell models we had, very customizable. It can take a bit of playing about to get the deployment sequences working the way you want but its still quick and easy out of the box. The biggest benefit over BDD2007 was the linking to different sites to keep everything in sync. There is a very good forum/list on MyITForum, can't remember the name at the the minute but think it had [mdt-osd] in the email subjects.

It isn’t, however, free.

Re: Patch Management
My first choice would be Kbox systems management appliance now from dell. There is no difference in pricing between agents for desktops or servers. Also gives you hardware/software inventory, application deployment, security compliance scanning, license compliance and a lot more. You can get it as a physical server or a VMWare appliance, but the price difference was negligible. Tightly integrated with appdeploy, they owned it before dell bought kace. They have a downloadable trial available. www.kace.com T typed slowly on HTC Desire On 28 Oct 2010 18:55, Brumbaugh, Luke luke.brumba...@butlerschein.com wrote: ~ 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

We dabbled in VMWare before Hyper-V became mature but now I need to pick one and run with it. I am leaning towards Hyper-V because it is included with our license and so far has been pretty painless in testing. I found VMWare to be confusing with all the different packages, licensing...upgrades and all that.

Re: RE: Win7 and WDS automated deployment
It's definitely worth looking into. At my last place we used it to deploy XP, but its geared more towards Vista/7. It still uses WDS to pxe boot, but after that its all handled by mdt, definitely worth the time to set it up. Not that there's a lot too it. The advantage that it gave us was the ability to use 1 xp image and not have to worry about different images for different models. I brought the ghost image count down from 8 to 1 in mdt.

Anyone here had any success with using these technologies in an accounting/CPA environment? I have a 25 person CPA client that is interested in doing something to support working remotely for a few employees and also opening a 3 or 4 person branch office in the near future. Lacerte and Quickbooks over a VPN just don't cut it. Some items that make the project difficult... 1) They went paperless a couple of years ago and dual monitors for everyone is important for workflow. So, we need good support of dual monitors. 2) User rights. Everyone right now is local admin on machines. You can thank intuit for making it near impossible to avoid. 3) Quickbooks (see intuit issue above) claims terminal services is not supported in anything but their enterprise version. They are a CPA firm and install multiple versions of quickbooks on workstations. Not sure if using a VM, rather than TS gets around this. 4) Software/Printer installs. Almost every intuit and CCH product they use comes with it's own PDF printer that must be installed. This already causes the occasional printer driver problem on physical machines. Anyone have any advice for what solutions would be right out or deserve consideration? I just found out about Xen Desktop Express for 10 or fewer users. That has piqued my interest.

Re: Remote desktop access with user approval
Sorry if this has already been answered, was out sick yesterday and just getting to emails now. We use UltraVNC here with that exact setup. Users are prompted to Approve or Reject the connection. We are also authenticating against AD.

I'd like to use VNC, but prompting for permission is not possible (as far as I can tell) so that can't be used. And remote desktop won't work since we need to be able to have the user see our actions (sometimes we remote in to provide short training). We already use gotoassist but I'm thinking of a more vnc-like product. Suggestions appreciated.

Re: WDS, PXE Proxy Split DHCP
This is similar to our setup here, WDS is installed on the secondary DCs
on each of our sites, this was to overcome the PXE across VLANs without
the networks team changing the config of the switches with the IP helper
of our MDT servers.
In the properties for WDS, under the DHCP tab 'Do not listen on port 67'
and 'Configure DHCP option 60 to PXEClient' are both checked.
Under Advanced, 'Yes, I want to authorise the WDS server in DHCP' is
enabled.
This is running on Server 2003, with a manual split of the DHCP scopes so
may not apply to 2008 R2 with the Split Scopes option.
Have you tried option 66 on DC01 with the IP of DC02?
I have some other notes about configuring the settings for WDS in the DHCP
scopes, I'll try and dig them out.

Subject:WDS, PXE Proxy Split DHCP
Hello,
I have two Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP servers in a SplitScope
configuration. One of these is my WDS server. If the PXE client pulls
its IP from that server (DC01), WDS runs fine on the client. If the
client pulls its IP from the 2nd server (DC02), I get the ?Windows failed
to start.? error screen of Windows Boot Manager. On DC02, I have DHCP
Options 66 (IP of DC01) and 67 (boot\X64\wdsnbp.com) configured. What am
I missing? The documentation really doesn?t cover having a SplitScope
configuration. I have DHCP split for resiliency.

Re: It's that day!
Thx folks, hope it rubs off on everyone else that needs/wants it :) Its an advancement career-wise, moving to full-time server support with another company. It's a bit of a pay-cut, but it'll pay off in the long term, the new company will provide a new challenge and the technologies that they are involved in are wide-ranging. A busy schedule ahead of me, finish up here on the 10th September, re-locate, start the new job, and twins on the way Xmas week.

Re: Adobe/Java Updates
Here is a script that I use to upgrade Adobe Reader via GPO, we were
running Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 until about 2 months ago due to a
compatability issue with an application that we use internally. It's a
bit more complicated than it normally needs to be, but was required in
this case.
It runs at each shutdown to ensure that each PC gets it as we have PCs
that are not rebooted very often or are only used occasionally.
Update 9.3.2 was integrated into the 9.3.0 installation files using the
instructions here
http://www.404techsupport.com/2010/04/using-group-policy-to-deploy-adobe-acrobat-9-3-2/
The Customisation wizard was used to confirgure some of the setting and
disable stuff like browser integration, updates and a few other things.
Haven't gotten around to imcorporating the 9.3.3 update into the original
installation point.
A Software Installation setting would probably be more logical, but I
prefer to run installations on shutdown as users complain enough about
their PCs being slow to boot.

Re: Xen, Vmware or HyperV
Personally I'd go for VMware, but that's mainly because I have no experience of the other 2. I tried Xen years ago, but found that all the VMware stuff is a lot easier to use, I started with VMware Workstation about 10 years ago. It really all depends on what features/capabilities you want/need, and what versions support them, if you want something like VMotion, your going to have to pay for it with VMware. I've found the learning curve with any of the VMware stuff to be pretty flat, but others may say the same about HyperV and Xen.
