Thanks Brian there isn't 100's of DCs in this upgrade only like 8 total, and only 3-4 hold the FSMO roles, (1 in the root) and 2 in the child domain. Basically just use the GUI or NTDSUTIL to transfer the roles, do a netdom query fsmo to check to make sure it moved, and do the SP as usual.

you could try to rearm windows If you install Windows 7 and don't enter an installation key, the 30-day activation clock starts. To see how many days you have left, click Start, right-click Computer, and choose Properties. At the bottom of the dialog under Windows Activation, you'll see the

Well, here's a different workaround that I regularly use. Open a CMD window with Admin rights, and execute everything from inside there.No muss, no fuss. An Explorer window opened from in here may even give you the folder options you want, but I haven't actually checked that out. -*ASB*:

USB connected drives are way too slow. LTO4 alone should get you 5x-6x the speed of a USB connected drive (YMMV) Cheers Ken -Original Message- From: Benjamin Zachary - Lists [mailto:li...@levelfive.us] Sent: Wednesday, 16 September 2009 9:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE:

Wow! Had no idea. I've been on eSATA drives for years now, ditched tapes for the speed and reliability. Ken, do the restore speeds also show this type of performance? Because ultimately that's what matters, right. -Original Message- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:k...@adopenstatic.com]

eSata will be about 1.5x what you can get with USB only (assuming you are copying to a single target disk). I've generally found that USB2 peaks at around 15-20MB/sec, and eSATA is around 25-30MB/sec (max) With LTO4 - if you are copying from a single disk, then the limitation will be the

Sounds about right, I am getting 1,500MB/MIN (25MB/SEC) on my backups. And iirc my restores were about 20MB/Sec going to bare metal RAID5. What speeds do you see with LTO? Has the reliability of tapes increased in your opinion? Good info, thanks as always. Sam -Original Message- From:
