RE: log levels

When your machine blue screens, the state of the machine's memory is captured in the dump file. Get a kernel dump for a snapshot of what's in memory. What are you expecting the Windows Event Logs to tell you? FWIW, it's up to each application to determine what to write to the Windows event log

Unknown. Possibly. I have a bunch of HP 2510-48s, and an HP 2400cl for my backbone. I'll have to check that out. I don't know what I have in my overseas offices. Kurt On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 15:37, Brian Desmond wrote: > Yep. Do your switches support DHCP Snooping? You can pretty much kill the

Re: DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

Yes, but it seems a bit shortsighted in the face I what I've had to deal with - on at least two occasions I've had people drag personal (linksys, dlink) firewalls/routers into work because they "needed" them, and really screwed with one of my subnets. This was back when we were on NT4, and it was

RE: DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

The converse to the DHCP detection stuff is that if any Windows box comes up in the domain with DHCP installed, DHCP won't actually start until someone with (by default) Enterprise Admin privs "authorizes" it. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c – 312.731.3132 > -Original Mes

RE: DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

With regards to the clients updating DNS, yes they are normally set to do that. However you can configure the dhcp server to do it. This can be beneficial in environments where you have clients that are unable to update dns with their new IP information. -Original Message- From: Kurt

Is this office an exception? Or do you have other offices that also have linux dhcp servers? Are there other techs that may need to remotely manage this site? Do they have the access/skills/knowledge to work with a linux dhcp server? Do they know to even look for it or are they expecting win

RE: Synchronous RDP Session Monitoring.

Ok. I believe Harry wasn't referring to a terminal server though. He wanted to remote control desktop sessions from another desktop. So it's either remote assistance, remote control (via sccm) or some other 3rd party app. -Original Message- From: Jay Dale [mailto:jay.d...@3-gig.co

Re: DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

He didn't reboot the DC, he rebooted the firewall - in spite of the fact that I asked him to call our on-call extension here in the States, which generates a page to the on-call cell phone. I'm not sure of his stance on MSFT vs. Linux, except that he definitely prefers the latter. Still, you have

RE: DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

There is no intrinsic reason for DHCP to be based on Windows. There are some "easy of admin" features that I think are nice - such as when you build the subnet the wizard prompts you for the site-aware DNS and WINS server and the automatic DNS and rDNS registrations. But any "modern" (i.e., the

Do you really want someone to control what and where the clients look to for information? Do you trust this person to keep their hands off of the network? If you say yes leave them be if you don't or if this person just is one to the type that all things Linux is good and all things Microsoft is

Nobody from IT has been to this overseas office in my 8 years at this company. We've shipped servers and this admin has set them in the rack and hooked them up. By now, the political situation has gotten to be such that it would be thoroughly resented if I went to correct things, such as locking a

DHCP in Win2k3 R2 domain

All, Actually, the issue isn't really that, it's the part time admin in one of our overseas offices. He's running DHCP on a linux box, and handing out DNS/WINS entries pointing to the AD servers. I've got DHCP set up on the DC in their office, but haven't turned it on yet. He's balking because h
