RE: [ActiveDir] DFS

2004-05-11 Thread Jennifer Fountain

I was only thinking about replication between two servers and the data
would be small. Maybe 20 mb here and there - as files are updated.

 1 TB is too much for DFS to replicate between two servers, 
 not to mention four. The replication (FRS) in DFS is flawed. 
 Have you looked into shadow copy or a utility like Robocopy?

 The main objective to to remove the single point of failure I 
 have now - one big file server.  If this goes down, we are 
 SOL.  From what I read/tested, DFS will allow you to point a 
 single folder to shares on different physical locations.  
 (basically, the user sees one server but in reality I have four)
 
 Replication is also something I could take advantage of; 
 However, can you schedule replication in DFS?

  Justin,
  
  I don't think this is correct.  With DFS, I can set up different 
  subfolders to point to different physical locations.  These 
 physical 
  locations can be setup a redundant pairs, but this is not required.

  Having a DFS structure would mean that you would have 4 servers 
  each with 1 TB of information on them because everything gets 
  replicated to all locations in the DFS.  DFS will NOT put 250 GB on 
  one server, 250 GB on another server and so on.

  You can install a DFS root on a DC or member server.
  
   
  
  It should work fine, in terms of splitting down a server and 
  distributing the data over a number of other servers. I'm 
 assuming you 
  only want to use DFS to make a central share access hierarchy?
  
   
  
  I would not use the replication side of it though as it's 
  inherently flawed... well it was on 2000 and have read it hasn't 
  changed that significantly on 2k3. If you do want to use the 
  replication then I would only use it for read only data, i.e.
  Application distribution points.

  Does anyone here use DFS?  If so, do you use it 
 for load 
  balancing?  Did you install it on a DC? It's own server?
   We are looking into breaking our one huge file server (1 
 tb of space) 
  into 4 smaller servers (more manageable and wanted to look into DFS.
  We do have NT/95 clients but that should not stop me because I can 
  install the AD client on them.

Essentially, your concern is about disk signatures.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305793 should help
explain about that some.

What I'm curiuos about is why you don't just add disk and move the data over
to it?  Expand vs. replace?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Replacing Shared Storage on a two node cluster

Greetings to all,
As always, many thanks for  your quick responses to problems and questions
posted on this forum.  I am currently  running an Active/ Passive  Cluster
service on  2 dell power edge  2650  connected to another Dell 220s Power
vault   subsystem. I have  3 X 18G (RAID 5) drives in my subsystem
configured as 3  separate virtual logical array disk.
I am about to embark on a mission to  move the data   from the  virtual
disk to its own disk  by adding additional  drives and configuring them as
RAID 5 for my data and RAID 1 for my log files. Knowing how sensitive
cluster service is  to disk changes, I will like to approach this  task very
carefully without  destroying my cluster installation and having to rebuild
the whole cluster. I was hoping someone may have already gone through this
process and will kindly enlightened me to any obstacles that I should be
aware of. My numerous searches have produced  different  confusing
approaches. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nathan

[ActiveDir] Desktop security solutions

2004-05-11 Thread Rimmerman, Russ




What's
everyone's opinion of desktop security software solutions like Cisco's ACS,
which every time some application tries to change the registry or a file or
something and it's not part of your pre-configured security template, it pops up
an alert asking you if it's OK? Mgmt is asking for this and I personally
think it will be too much of a bear to make servers with their applications play
well with it (or user desktops).

With 
applications like this (also CheckPoint VPN) we've created a batch file that we 
run on the local computer which changes the permissions registery and in program 
files to allow the user to have read/write to that spacific

As you 
said below becasue it's a adhoc type request it's a pain to have to go around to 
the specific computers and run the file - but it's better than the 
alternative.

[ActiveDir] Reccomendations Please

2004-05-11 Thread John Harvey

Title: Reccomendations Please

Hello All

This may be off topic so please forgive me if it is but I thought I might get some usefull suggestions from the other list members.

Due to a serious shortfall in staffing and increasingly complexity and growth my challenge is to find something we can use in a Windows 2000 AD domain to do some remote monitoring of servers for the basics like disk space, memory and the like (basic system checks and monitoring, nothing too deep just the facts and thats it really) and if it did event traps it would also be usefull but not neccesary, we are dealing with 140 sites and some 300 servers but would be looking at something that handled a core of 50 servers to start. We really do not know where to start and being completely honest we just dont have the time and staff to dig into this, patch management is eating us alive as it is so ANY suggestions anyone can give us or reccomendations would be great.

Oh and if anyone knows anything which is freeware or low cost that would be even better, as usual the need is now and the budget is nil as usual. So suggestions please all would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance all.

John,

Good
afternoon, a colleague of mine has used the following software before: http://www.bb4.com and highly recommends it.
Apparently it takes a little bit to set it up but is very stable and works very
well.

Personally I haven't had a look at it yet, but I've seen it work in a
production environment and it seems to work quite well. I hope this is what you
were after.
