Just to close the loop on this, thanks to the feedback on this alias, the 
friendly folks at DigiCert have removed the page in question as well as made a 
number of additional enhancements to their pages that discuss internal names.

Let me know if anything else jumps out and I'll connect you to the right

Well, this is certainly a terrible article from Digicert.  Rename or migrate 
your domain in order to get certs that match your AD FQDN?
Links to ADMT??  Utter madness.  Just use an internal CA for an intranet site, 
as nobody else will be able to resolve those names anyhow.  Buy certs from a 
public CA for external-facing boxes and don't even worry about the internal 
name, it doesn't matter.

As for the advice of using the AD domain name foo.com for your business that 
receives mail as u...@foo.com and has a website at foo.com, this is awful 
advice too and causes tons of DNS headaches.
Do not do this.

Open up the mmc, click Attach a Task To this Log...

Use the query builder to abstract you from the syntax if needed.

RE: iSCSI with HP/Brocade switches

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Check the QOS settings on the switches.  They should be set to give maximum 
priority to the iSCSI traffic.  Some switches have a lossless setting that 
provides the most buffering for your packets.
Also check the frame size, and make sure it matches from end to end.  That is, 
if any device in the chain from VM guest to VM vswitch to HP switch to Dell 
Equallogic array is set to use Jumbo frames, they should all be.
Another thing to look at is to make sure your auto negotiation settings match, 
as in all auto, or all manually configured to the same speed/duplex settings.

Subject: iSCSI with HP/Brocade switches

Hey List.

I have our new Dell/Equalogic vSphere cluster up and running, but we have been 
having some issues as of late with latency on switch side of the equation.

When we set up the cluster, we decided to use a pair of HP 2910al-24G switches. 
These were not the switches recommended by our VMWare vendor (They recommended 
a pair of Brocade 6610 switches). Now that we have been having these latency 
issues, we are considering the recommended switches.

So here's my questions:

1) Has anybody used HP switches (2910al-24s or similar) as the iSCSI transport? 
Has anyone seen similar issues, or are there some specific configurations that 
need to be double-checked?

2) Anybody seen any issues with the Brocade switches? (I expect the answer to 
be no, but it's never too late/early to ask.)

RE: SSH (PuTTY) session from Windows2008R2

Will the Windows client let you telnet ipaddress 22 ?

Subject: SSH (PuTTY) session from Windows2008R2

Greetings!

We use PuTTY for SSH sessions to manage various devices.  An issue has recently 
been discovered by us here...

We have no problem logging in to our Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch stack via SSH 
from machines running Windows XP, Windows 7, or Windows 2003.  However, if we 
are logged into a Windows 2008R2 system...

Using PuTTY, we connect to the switch stack and get a login box.  After 
providing user name and password, we are denied access.

Using telnet (MS version enabled in the Features page of Control 
Panel/Applications), we can log in with no problem.

My preliminary Google searches seem to indicate that although SSH clients and 
servers are not a part of Windows 2008, it is supported.  So far, nothing 
regarding this inability to log in to other systems using SSH.  Again, this is 
weird as a telnet session from the same Windows 2008 machine gives access.

Anyone???  Thanks!!!

Got a call today to say that one particular website won't load from a user.

Was working fine yesterday. It's their official website and they use word press
to update stuff on it.

It works on other networks without an issue. Router was re-booted and no
change. I cleared down the DNS cache on the server and still no joy.

Cannot get to via IP address either. Can ping it fine.

Any ideas?

Windows 2003 SP2 server. Can't get to it from the server either.

I use windirstat to look at the drive and see where the space hog is, it shows

Shadow copies shows as disabled and there are no previous versions listed under

There must be a typo in the review, because it says the book was written in 
1933.  If that's true, then the book is not an allegory, but rather some 
stunning prophecy.

TCP wasn't even a gleam in DARPA's momma's eye in 1933.

Of course, I'm relying on Wikipedia for my information about PING and TCP/IP, 
it could be off a few years.

  Batteries contain metals that have value, so they're a profitable item.  You 
can usually get money for them if you find a metals reclamation company.

  The tough ones are usually CRTs.  They contain unprofitable but toxic leaded

I can attest that your greatest challenge is the reality of two
nations divided by a common language and the myriad of cultural
differences.


not to diminish the elegance of Mr Oscar Wilde's phrase..
As somebody who spent 2 years in GULAG, 3 years in Afghanistan (25
years ahead of you), escaped (literally), moved to Lugano,
Strassbourgh, Melbourne, Munich, Pac NW I would say paying attention
to those is an exercise in histrionics.
Yes, they call that donkey piss coffee (or beer) here, but so what?
This is the only place where they say Welcome! when you come and
Keep your accent, baby to your wife and they mean it. This is still
the greatest country on the planet, the degree of freedom of maneuver
here is unprecedented: you can be anything and anywhere, and the end
result is a function of your effort and sacrifice. You are lucky to
have this choice, millions would die for their children to have it..
Good luck.

P.S. The cultural differences between London and Doncuster and Durham
and City of Wells and Lincoln are quite vast as well..

X=At computer/tech event

Z=not an attendee

X=At a NASCAR race

Z=drinks beer and drives a pickup (possibly at the same time)

Some stereotypes exist because statistically they are (or were at one time)

Hi All,

I have a Windows 2008R2 file server at the far end of a WAN link.  There is
a 20ms ping time between the workstations and the server.  This is pretty
constant.

The file server contains a lot of Excel files.  Different versions, some
with macros some without.  Some files are quite old, some are newer.

Opening some of these files over the WAN link can take upwards of a minute
for a 1MB file.  Other similarly sized files will open in 6 seconds.

At this point I'm looking for a few thoughts on where I can start my
investigations.

Thx

  The address 172.16.26.0 is not on a /22 boundary.

  IP addresses are a 32 bit field.  The /22 means the first 22 bits
are the network portion.  That leaves 10 bits for the node portion.
Network boundaries for /22's have to line up with that.  172.16.26.0
is in the middle of a /22 network.

  The computer does not use dotted quads.  That's a fiction created

Yes. For a /22 mask, you need to be on a 4,8,12... boundary. As in your subnets 
below, the /23 all start with an even number and include the next number 
(16-17, 18-19, etc)

As you probably know, masks are based on binary math. I can't quickly find a 
tutorial for this, but many exist, as do subnet calculators.

Subject: subnetting question

I must not understand all I know about subnetting

Here's the deal:
I started out with these two subnets (I'm including the subnet and broadcast 
addresses):
172.16.8.0/22 = 172.16.8.0-172.16.11.255
172.16.12.0/22 = 172.16.12.0-172.16.15.255

I planned to segment my campus, so I planned to use the following subnets, 
which I wanted to have 512 addresses instead of 1024:
172.16.16.0-172.16.17.255/23   not in use yet
172.16.18.0-172.16.19.255/23   not in use yet
172.16.20.0-172.16.21.255/23   not in use yet
172.16.22.1-172.16.23.254/23   in use, working ok
172.16.24.1-172.16.25.254/23   not in use yet

However, when I tried to use this subnet, with a /22 for 1024 addresses, my 
router doesn't like it, and when creating a DHCP scope, it tries to make a 
superscope.
172.16.26.0/22 = 172.16.26.0-172.16.29.255

It seems to me I should be able to do what I've described, but apparently I'm 
misunderstanding things.
So one question is, why can't I do what I've outlined?

Another way to put it is, if I want a /22 subnet, I still have to make them on 
the 4,8,12,16,20,24,28. boundaries?

RE: subnetting question

Subject: Re: subnetting question

To put it another way -- each number in an IPv4 address being a 1-byte
(8-bit) number; let's suppose we're trying to set up a network for
255.255.26.0/22 ...
255 =  
255 =  
26 = 0001 1010
0 = 

Since the mask is /22, and the first two bytes gobble up 16 bits, it
means we only care about the first six bits, or 0001 10 part, in
decimal 26.
But now we have a leftover binary 10, the 1 in which can never be
tested because it's the 23rd bit and we just said only to test the
first 22 bits.

While there are certainly IPv4 addresses that would match a network
like x.x.26.0/22 by plain old bit math, it's not a sensible
combination because it's like saying I will only accept sandwiches
that have both oil *and* mayonnaise on them... although I will
actually ignore the presence or absence of mayo and really only care
about the oil.

 Yes. For a /22 mask, you need to be on a 4,8,12. boundary. As in your
 subnets below, the /23 all start with an even number and include the next
 number (16-17, 18-19, etc)



 As you probably know, masks are based on binary math. I can't quickly find a
 tutorial for this, but many exist, as do subnet calculators.

 Subject: subnetting question



 I must not understand all I know about subnetting..



 Here's the deal:

 I started out with these two subnets (I'm including the subnet and broadcast
 addresses):

 172.16.8.0/22 = 172.16.8.0-172.16.11.255

 172.16.12.0/22 = 172.16.12.0-172.16.15.255



 I planned to segment my campus, so I planned to use the following subnets,
 which I wanted to have 512 addresses instead of 1024:

 172.16.16.0-172.16.17.255/23   not in use yet

 172.16.18.0-172.16.19.255/23   not in use yet

 172.16.20.0-172.16.21.255/23   not in use yet

 172.16.22.1-172.16.23.254/23   in use, working ok

 172.16.24.1-172.16.25.254/23   not in use yet



 However, when I tried to use this subnet, with a /22 for 1024 addresses, my
 router doesn't like it, and when creating a DHCP scope, it tries to make a
 superscope.

 172.16.26.0/22 = 172.16.26.0-172.16.29.255



 It seems to me I should be able to do what I've described, but apparently
 I'm misunderstanding things.

 So one question is, why can't I do what I've outlined?



 Another way to put it is, if I want a /22 subnet, I still have to make them
 on the 4,8,12,16,20,24,28... boundaries?

  I should qualify that: I am nearly positive it is not the MBR *boot

  The standard IBM-PC partition table includes redundant information
on the start and end of partitions.  Each partition is given twice,
once in absolute sector format (Logical Block Address), once in
cylinder/head/sector (CHS) format.  Most everything (including the NT
kernel) uses LBA and ignores CHS.  It's remotely possible that the NT
*bootstrap* still uses CHS, and that the CHS values in my partition
table are not what it expects.  Since the NT kernel uses LBA and
ignores CHS, it would see the partition, mount the filesystem, CHKDSK
it, etc., without noticing the bad CHS values.

  I have no idea how to go about checking that.  CHS-to-LBA mapping is
a black art of the worst kind.  Different versions of MS-DOS, Windows,
and Linux can use different strategies; BIOS and disks can both do
their own translation on top of that; there are numerous bugs in all
of the above.

Thanks for the suggestions:

OS is XP

MAC address for machine matches what is on the switch.

Tried turning off wireless interface -- no difference

IP Address is assigned by DHCP reservation.  It already is on same VLAN as all 
targets, and same VLAN as all machines that cannot ping it.  I did not try a 
static IP.  I have however confirmed that if I map a drive to a server share 
the server sees that the connection is from the correct address -- but cannot 
ping it, nor can any remote management be done from the server.

RPC  other services are all in the same state as an identical machine that I 
can remotely manage  can ping.
Network Card settings are also in same state.

There was one additional network component on the bad machine Oddyssey network 
agent.
No change whether it is enabled/disabled.

I won't be able to do anything further until next Monday.
Maybe it will go away by itself over the weekend.

I have a single laptop in our department that I cannot ping.
The user in question is able to access all network resources.
Windows firewall is off, and no other firewall is running
I have verified that all DHCP  DNS entries are correct.
The user can ping anything on the network.

Other symptoms:
The machine loses connection to one server periodically.
This is indicated by the fact that his computer shows the offline tray icon.
Any time this happens, he can choose synchronize, and he always is back 
online.
He can access any internet/intranet site w/o problem at any time.

Switch port counters show no problems.
Changing switch port makes no difference.

Any helpful suggestions appreciated.

RE: Volume Shadow Copy

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Often, there's not enough disk space to create another snap.  I find that if 
you go into the Shadow Copy configuration and force the release of existing 
snapshots, that fixes problems.  Your bat file should do that.
Sometimes, for many reasons, VSS gets confused or corrupted (pick your favorite 
vague term), and the only thing that helps is to stop the VSS server and 
restart it.
So, you could add a line to your bat file to stop and start the service.

We have a windows 2003 server, that is fully upto date with service

Every night the server runs an scheduled NTbackup
This has recently started to fail giving errors about unable to create

The machine runs 4 Virtual machines running the Free Vmserver we
successfully backed up the machine with ntbackup and have restored the

I did have some success creating a batch file before the backup 
With the following line

Subject: ANOTHER network anomaly

Adding an entry to the rash of weird networking issues...

I have a WAN setup for our organization with three sites, each with its own 
subnet, Domain server and file server (all in the same domain). The main site 
is connected to site #2 by multilink t-1 through two Cisco routers and to Site 
#3 by a Branch Office (fixed) VPN connection through a couple of WatchGuard 
Fireboxes (all traffic from Site #3 routed through the VPN). Everything works, 
browsing, file sharing, Internet access, it's all good.

I brought up a new Server 2008R2 in the main site on a DL360G7 box and 
installed the Remote Desktop Services Host role on it. No errors or (observed) 
glitches. Joined to the domain, etc. I'm only using one NIC at the moment, 
fixed IP address, reservation in DHCP, DNS entries good on all internal DNS 
servers.

Now, the problem. The new server cannot see site #3 at all; a ping to any box 
in that site returns Destination host unreachable from the IP address of the 
server (not the Firebox). Tracert returns the same on the first line. The 
server can talk to everything in the main site and site #2, and approved users 
can RDP into it from those sites with no problem, but any attempt to connect to 
the server from site #1 (Windows Explorer, ping, RDP) times out (not 
Destination host unreachable). Mobile VPN connections from outside also 
time out.

The other, identical (except for File Services instead of Remote Desktop) 
server in the same rack has no difficulty communicating with Site #3, and 
everyone at Site #3 can see it with no problem.

The Server 2003 Terminal Services box is also accessible from all three sites 
(and outside).

Any ideas? I'm a Social Worker who inherited the IT Admin job 15 years ago, and 
my knowledge of the black arts of networking is pretty rudimentary; this has 
got me baffled, and Google has presented only cases that had obvious (and 
inapplicable) differences.

 Subject: Curious networking anomaly in Win7 Pro box

 All,

 Just one machine in our UK office is affected, and I haven't been able
 to figure it out. All other machines seem to be working fine.

 This one laptop cannot talk to a few addresses in our US server subnet.

 For instance, this machine can ping the file server, and the Exchange
 server, but not the DCs, nor a new terminal server, nor the address of
 the router on that subnet. However, all of the machines he's trying to
 ping by name resolve to correct IP addresses.

 We put Wireshark on this machine, and it thinks its emitting the ICMP
 packets, but when I fired up tcpdump on the internal interface of the
 firewall for his office, I verified that it was not seeing packets for
 those machines that he was trying to ping, and it was seeing packets
 for the machines to which he was able to connect.

 I did a 'route print', to see if there were something odd there, but
 saw nothing interesting.

 A malware scan came up clean - and it's a new install of Win7 Pro over XP.

 I turned off any services that looked interesting, including the
 Aventail connection service, the Windows firewall, and a couple of
 others, with no change in result.

 Haven't had a chance to examine the event logs on the laptop. The
 laptop is probably going to be wiped before I can work with him on it
 again, but I'm still very curious. Has anyone seen anything like this
 before?

RE: Hyper-V Design Questions

[Kim Longenbaugh]

I don’t know what the general consensus is, but I believe it’s a definite 
benefit.  We’ve gone through a phase where our DC was virtualized and 
experienced problems because of it.  You could call it a bootstrap thing, where 
your hosts (VM or Hyper-V) need at least DNS and probably AD, but neither is 
available until the host comes up and your DC guest starts.  There are 
workarounds, like using host files on the VM or Hyper-V hosts for name 
resolution, and making sure your DC auto starts when the host starts.

So yes, I believe it’s still a reasonable best practice.

Subject: [SPAM] RE: Hyper-V Design Questions

Just some general questions and observations.


1.   The Hyper-V host server can legally only run the Hyper-V role. So no 
you can’t move AD and File  Print Services to the host.
Ok.

2.   Are the virtual servers all new servers or replacing existing servers?
All are new.

3.   Do you have other AD servers in the network? Generally it is best to 
have a physical server running AD with additional virtual AD server being OK.
There is one existing 2008 R2 64-Bit Server running AD, File  
Print and Remote Desktop Services.  Two of the new VMs would add redundancy.

4.   How many NICs are you planning for the server?
I have 6 NICs - My plan was to use 1 for the host and just 1 
for all the VMs or would it be better to give each VM it's own NIC?

5.   If these are existing servers, what kind of utilization do they have 
currently?
Utilization is light.  There are only 8 users currently, will 
grow to 15 with the new server and SQL App.  Most all will be connecting via 
RDP.

6.   Your first RAID 1 configuration (300GB) doesn’t make sense. You show 
300 for system, 60 for host OS and 240 for 3 VMs. (3 x 80) That adds to 600 by 
my math. So to answer your second question, No I don’t agree with your storage 
configuration. ☺ Or are you just saying that this is the system partition and 
it will be used as 60 and 240.
I meant 300 total for the RAID Set to be divied up between the 
OS (60) and the VMs (240).  The problem though is 240 GB is not sufficient for 
all the VMs.  I am thinking of changing the storage config to two RAID 5 Arrays 
- 3x300 + 6x300 + 1 Global Hot Spare.  The first RAID Array would be for the OS 
 VMs.  The second array would be for the File Data  SQL Data.  I spoke with 
the software vendor who will be supporting the SQL Database  and they wanted 
the SQL log files to be located on the same partition as the SQL Data…  They 
said for this small site, performance wasn't an issue and they were concerned 
about recoverability.

7.   Is the SQL data partition configured for growth? Meaning what is the 
initial use of that 1.2 TB and how long before it gets full.
The SQL Data Partition is configured for growth.  I do not know 
the actual size but I am guessing 1.2 TB should last at least 3-5 years.  I 
have 6 open drive bays for expansion if necessary.

I’m sure others will have other questions.

RE: Wireless bridge between buildings.

[Kim Longenbaugh]

I'd recommend your idea of running pipe in the tunnels before collapsing them.  
Make sure it's done to code, especially with regard to access points.

However, I'd suggest running 9Um single mode fiber while you have the 
opportunity, because the range of speeds and distances it will support is 
greater than multimode fiber, and ironically enough, at least at our site, was 
cheaper than the multimode flavors.  The single mode fiber will be able to 
support the 40 and 100 G Ethernet when it becomes available and cost effective.

You would of course want to make sure your switches support the single mode 
fiber.

Subject: Wireless bridge between buildings.

Hi folks,

Have about 10 building on a campus. They are currently connected with fiber 
from a main hub. The fibers run through tunnels. The buildings all contain 
clients (and VOIP phones), with no servers. All the servers are in main 
building, and all traffic comes through here.

The tunnels are old, and there is talk of collapsing them. I'm thinking of 
possibly putting up line-of-sight antennas on each building as a way of 
connecting. Distances would be  300 meters.

My question is.   Is there wireless fast enough for this? Right now the fiber 
is running 1 GBs (62.5 Um). I would need to have communications be at least 
this fast, if not faster.

If this is not feasible/possible, there is a possibility of running pipe in the 
current tunnels, and pulling new fiber (50 Um) (which I'm thinking of doing 
anyway, to get faster speed), then these pipes will be buried when the tunnels 
are collapsed. Upgrading this in the future would be tedious.

Other ideas are welcome.

RE: Juniper Networks Switches?

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Look at Avaya switches.  They have the 5600 series that is gig capable, with 
good density.  There's a campus management platform, the switches support POE, 
and the CLI is logical and well thought out, and Crisco experience transfers 
with little adaptation required.

OK well it's been a while, but a bit of a bump here as we're getting close to 
having to decide which way to jump.

Right now, ignoring financials, both Juniper and Extreme have things going both 
for and against them.

In Juniper's case the biggest negative right now is the lack of a decent campus 
management platform (Space isn't there yet).

In Extreme's case it's lack of a full-featured small and reasonably priced gig 
capable switch, which for us could be a big deal as we have lots of buildings, 
not all of which have lots of people.

Anyway, any additional opinions would be appreciated.

I love JUNOS. just learned it about a year ago with the SRX Firewalls and the 
EX 4200 switches (i have 4 SRX and 12 EX4200). it is a joy to use after using 
Cisco IOS for sooo many years. The web GUI is slow, but the CLI is super fun to 
use. There isn't a huge difference either between FW and SW like there is with 
Cisco IOS for ASA and SW.

Please let me know what you think after a little hands on. I love working with 
the Junos cli. Commits instead of direct edits, automated rollback if you don't 
confirm commits and so on. And like any stacked product, you manage it as one

Our whole network is basically a bunch of EX-4200's in various stacks. Smb, 
afp, nfs, iscsi, you name it. Except for voip. :) But the gui has settings for 
voice vlan for a simple switchport and they come in all-POE versions as well so 
I have a hard time seeing why they wouldn't work well for voip. We're pleased 
with both the performance and features, which is at the higher end of access 
switches. Think Cisco 3750 if it means anything to you. We even do all our 
routing except for bgp peering in a pair of stacks using vrrp.

I have no experience with EX2200, EX2500, EX3200 or EX3300. I do know that some 
features that are included in the EX4200 are licensed separately for the 
others. You'll have to ask your reseller for what those are.

Our needs are reasonably simple on a technical level (I think!).

What we are keen on, if possible, is to try and get a vendor with one OS across

a nightmare.  Moving to a single vendor won't happen quickly but it's what

RE: Vipre not catching viruses?

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Vipre has the tools to do agent installs, either from a fresh start or for 
upgrades.  If it’s not working right, why not call their support as soon as the 
problem occurs.  Our experience has been that their support bends over 
backwards to resolve the issues.
Another way to look at it is, if the same PCs that had a problem with a 
previous upgrade had it again, maybe it’s not Vipre, maybe it’s a problem with 
the PCs

Yes, and I might be calling.  I think these are PCs that had a problem with the

update, but for some reason a small percentage never finish.  Hence I dread 
major Vipre releases.

I have a script that I push via GPO to force an install, so I better get that 
updated.

Hi Folks,

For you Vipre users, any of you having issues over the last few days with Vipre 
not catching viruses?  We've had at least a dozen PCs we had to re-image over 
the last week.  The vipre console indicates the agent is shut down, and it 
won't start.

This wasn't a problem for us until we went to agent 5.0.4464, and as usual, a 
bunch of PC were left without protection because the install removed the old 
product, never installed the new product.  Just wondering if this version is 
problematic.

RE: Disable wireless when wired connection detected

That's a great write up of a totally workable solution.

Unfortunately, we have users who try to bypass our firewall and internet 
content filter restrictions (which would be theoretically punishable if we 
detected it and our HR was willing to enforce the penalties), so we use the 
wireless autoswitch product, which can be installed in such a way as to prevent

There is

Configuring Metrics, or how to choose the default connection between Wired and 
Wireless Connections.

It is very common in today computers (especially Laptops) to have Wired Network 
Card (NIC) as well as Wireless. Often users end up in a conflict and they do 
not know how to control the system.

Windows Network configures each card to have its own TCP/IP.
The two cards can live together in peace and harmony provided they 
areconfigured to work with Set Priority.

The TCP/IP configuration has a special setting (under the Advance menu) for 
Metrics.

If you put a different number in the Metrics entry of the cards, the network 
connection would default to the connection with the lower number.

As an Example, if you put Metrics of 10 in the Wired Network connection, and 
Metrics of 20 in the Wireless Connection, the system would default to the wired 
connection

When the Wire is unplugged (or Not present) it would automatically switch to 
Wireless connection (if present). When the Wired is plugged back it would take 
over the connection since it has lower Metrics.

How to configure?

1. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.

2. Right-click a network interfaces, and then click Properties.

3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

4. On the General tab, click Advanced.

5. To specify the Metrics, on the IP Settings tab click to clear the Automatic 
metric check box, and then enter the Metric that you want in the Interface 
Metric field.

RE: web filtering

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Zscaler allows devices to be monitored and blocked regardless of their 
location.  They can do it without installing an agent.  If desired, they can 
install an agent that will prevent the users from turning off the monitoring.  
What gets blocked at work can be different from what gets blocked when they're 
remote, if you want to allow a more liberal policy when the user's not on your 
production network.

RE: Possibly a brilliant mistake...

[Kim Longenbaugh]

We typically use the method in the article you quoted, and it works well, even 
when going from W2K3 to W2K8.
Doing that instead of the batch scripting is the only thing I'd change in your 
plan.  I think you also plan to add the new server to the domain after removing 
the old one and making the name change, but you didn't mention that explicitly.

A scenario for y'all to consider...

I've got a file server (Win2003 R2) running as a VM. It's using the MS iSCSI 
connector to connect with the 4 data partitions it's running.

My cunning plan to upgrade is to:


o- Bring up a Win2008 R2 VM
o- Configure all of the print queues on it to match the old server
o- Gin up a batch file that will recreate the shares on new machine to match 
the shares on the old machine
o- Down the the original 2003 R2 server and delete the account from AD
o- Change the name of the new 2008 R2 server to match the old server
o- Connect the LUNs on the iSCSI devices to the new machine and give them the 
same drive letters
o- Run the batch file on the new machine to create the shares
o- Go home and drink a few glasses of the nice wine I have stashed for just 
such an occasion

I'm sure someone out there has done something like this and can tell me if it's 
a viable upgrade method.

Anyone care to comment?

I'm running Treesize as Administrator and it's only showing one warning icon

figure my missing space has crept in there to hide.

Can I add the Administrator to the permissions list for that folder safely and

The value of classroom training is completely dependent on the instructor. An 
instructor who knows what the heck s/he is talking about and has real 
experience in the product is invaluable. An instructor who reviewed the MOC and 
ran through it the weekend before the class started and has little-to-no real 
experience is worthless.

As an instructor myself, I've sat through both kinds of training classes.

I would say that the number you quote is just a little on the high side, but 
it's in line with a quality training class.

Some people learn better in a classroom environment. Others learn better with 
books. Others (like me) learn best by setting up a lab and trashing and 
rebuilding and testing and breaking and fixing the product several dozen times.

This may be a little OT, but I was just pricing out some training for 3
staff here with the idea of sending them to some classroom training for
Windows 7 and Server 2008 administration.
If I target the courses related to MCITP Enterprise Desktop
Administrator on Windows 7 certification and the MCITP Server
Administrator on Windows Server 2008 certification, (and this is from
ONLC because they have a local office, but New Horizons seems to be
about the same) the appropriate courses include three five day courses
and one three day course.

The total cost at their published prices would be almost $27,000 for
three staff.  I don't think I can get that through our budget process.  

For those who provide training for staff development, is this kind of
classroom training the way to go?  Are there other alternatives for
classroom training, or do you use other training resources such as video
training from places like Trainsignal?

I'm looking for a bit of a reality check, as well as suggestions.  We
haven't provided this kind of staff training up to now, so I have no
experience in this area.  For myself I have relied on Google Training
and some good books, but I was looking for something more
formal/structured.

Appreciate any comments and advice.

RE: AV and malware protection?

[Kim Longenbaugh]

I don't know how kz20fl does that, but in the case of Vipre, for example, it 
would simply be turning off the on-access scanning, and strictly using the 
on-demand scan, which can be scheduled or run manually.

I have to agree with Alex and Tammy; there's still plenty of virus vectors out 
there, and an employee bringing a cd or usb stick, and/or clicking an 
attachment that's infected can still cream your network.

As other's have mentioned, a layered approach including AV, malwarebytes-type 
scanners, IPS/IDS, firewalls, DNS filtering, and other methodology is still the 
only way we can hope to catch the bad stuff.

Well, I supposed you could disconnect from the internet, and disable floppies, 
cds, usb sticks, etc, and make the PCs read-only, but that impacts productive 
work a little.

Subject: Firewall/Router recommendations

Good Afternoon, list members.

I would like to know what are some of your recommendations for a 
Router/Firewall. Some info of our current situation:

We currently use a Linux-based firewall (ClearOS for those curios). It has 
served us well over the years. Very recently, it has begun to inexplicably slow 
down passed network traffic. Ping times go up to 1000-4000ms, while load seems 
to be near zero. Reboot resolve this issue, but the problem can come back 
within a few hours.

I have called the vendor, and I was able to get their tech support (for $180, 
no less). The first tier support tech is stumped, and he's going to get his 
level 2 tech involved. Here's the kicker: He will be in touch with me by the 
end of the week. My boss and I have decided that we no longer are interested 
in something if we can't get support when we need it.

The network requirements for the firewall/router are simple: a 100mbit ethernet 
WAN and a 100mbit ethernet LAN. Standard NAT and port forwarding required. All 
other features are _not_ required, but are gravy.

We need something that is fairly easy to administer. Anything with a decent web 
console will likely do. We have about 1000 computers on our network, but actual 
concurrent sessions through the firewall will likely be 5,000-10,000.

I look forward to see what else people are using.

This one server has the same amount of users and rarely goes above 60%

particular box.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence, that it had a percentage of 
low-stress users on it, but it shows the same behaviour every single day. I'd 
really like to know what's causing it. It's almost as if someone had enabled 
some sort of memory trimming on it (via a registry key or tick box somewhere) 
and forgot to document the fact.

Citrix's native memory optimization is enabled for all servers in the OU, and 
turning it off made no difference, so I've ruled that out as a factor. We also 
have memory optimization and process memory trimming through AppSense 
Performance Manager but again this is a global thing affecting all the servers, 
and we have ruled it out as a cause by turning that off also. Are there any 
native Windows memory trimming/optimization options that someone might have 
enabled locally on the box (this is Windows 2008 R2)?

I'd be really grateful if anyone has any pointers to some form of memory 
trimming or optimization feature that can be enabled in some way, as if I've 
got one server running with 25% less memory overhead than the rest, I'd really 
like to enable it on all the other servers in the farm. This whole thing is 
currently being used as ammo for an improved change control process, so some 
good may come of it, but I'm really keen to find out what could possibly have 
been altered.

Thanks for the information. We use ProofPoint as well and although I haven't 
personally come across that issue, I'll pass it on to our Information Security 
team. The fact that you had to change the subject of the e-mail is the reason 
we used a very specific tag, such as [enc]. This prevents unexpected encryption 
of messages. Are you aware of the other triggers like using the confidential 
settings within Outlook? There's also a very lightweight Outlook Add-in that 
adds a Send Securely button to the new message form. The buttton simply adds 
a header to outgoing messages that ProofPoint picks up. Our users seem to 
prefer that method since it is a single button click to send and encrypt. My 
only complaint is that the button (in Outlook 2007) is placed directly above 
the normal Send button. I'd be happy to pass along more information if you're 
intereted.

Kim,

Thanks for the information. We use ProofPoint as well and although I haven't 
personally come across that issue, I'll pass it on to our Information Security 
team. The fact that you had to change the subject of the e-mail is the reason 
we used a very specific tag, such as [enc]. This prevents unexpected encryption 
of messages. Are you aware of the other triggers like using the confidential 
settings within Outlook? There's also a very lightweight Outlook Add-in that 
adds a Send Securely button to the new message form. The buttton simply adds 
a header to outgoing messages that ProofPoint picks up. Our users seem to 
prefer that method since it is a single button click to send and encrypt. My 
only complaint is that the button (in Outlook 2007) is placed directly above 
the normal Send button. I'd be happy to pass along more information if you're

RE: # of files on Windows server, is 4 million too many?

[Kim Longenbaugh]

So, to fix this, you could:
-create more volumes and split the load between the drive, which is limited by 
the number of drive letters that can be assigned
-create more file servers and spread the load over all of them


Do other operating systems handle the issue of too many small files better than 
Windows?

No, it matters in file open and file extension as well – but not to as great a 
degree.

2008 R2 doesn’t improve this to any degree EXCEPT that the Server service no 
longer has any limit to the amount of directory cache that it can allocate. 
This means that LOCAL enumeration (after the first) will probably be faster 
than the initial enumeration. Across the network (SMB / CIFS) that is not

Subject: RE: # of files on Windows server

Consider this: NTFS is a type of database. And not a very efficient one either. 
And, for very small files, the files are actually stored within the file 
system, while with larger files, NTFS has pointers to the actual file data 
stored in the FS.

Storage size has exploded in the last 10 years. However, performance has not 
matched the size expansion.

If I’m going to simply OPEN or CREATE a small file – number of files has little 
impact. NTFS is just going to create a new entry in the database.

If I need to find, list, or extend a file – well, it’s going to take longer.

If I need to enumerate files (that is, get a directory listing) the more files 
I’ve got, the longer it’s going to take.

It “can be shown” that having more than about 1K files in a directory will 
effect enumeration. It becomes really noticeable (IMHO) around 10K and heads 
rapidly 

RE: # of files on Windows server, is 4 million too many?

Thanks for the gentle reminder about mount points  :-)

Unfortunately, the document imaging system that our production people bought 
without seeking input from IT uses Windows, and create gazillions of small 
files.

Limitations according to drive letters went away years ago. Now we have mount 
points, just like UNIX. :-)

The issue isn't the operating system, the issue is the file system. There are 
file systems optimized for many small files, there are file systems optimized 
for huge files, and there are general-purpose file systems, like NTFS.

I would assert that trying to create millions of small files in a file system 
is probably the wrong application for the file system. :-)

Was it inside your network, or outside when generating those errors?

We have 11 iOS devices in our office and have never had anything like that. 
Although you did send me scrambling off to look at the logs to see if I'd

let us know if you find out _why_ it happened.

I'm looking into building a new PC for my home office and I'm contemplating a

I would like to have a single desktop across 3 monitors (probably 24). That 
way I could have an RDP session to my lab on 1, create/edit docs on the 2nd and 
surf/email/media on the 3rd. May also be used for some gaming by my son. 
looking for advice, recommendations, etc. on the video card/ monitors setup 
more so than the rest of the PC.

Thanks,
Mark

I was just reading all those emails about making hard to crack passwords 
(Almost but not quite OT: Passwords). I like Steve Gibson's analysis of why 
long passwords are harder to brute force crack than shorter complex ones. But, 
I wonder...

Why hasn't anyone implemented fail words? Two or more passwords associated with 
your account or whatever. One you use for normal access and is as hard to crack 
as you can make it and still be memorable. Then another password that would be 
easy(er) to crack that triggers some event? Here are a few scenarios I can 
think of off the top of my head:

[] Bank manager forced to open the vault at gunpoint. Use the failword. Opens 
the vault and rings the silent alarm.
[] Someone tries to login to your PayPal or bank account and tries your 
failword. They get the usual bad password result, but you get a text message on 
your cell phone.
[] Someone tries to unlock your iPhone. They try the failword and it gets 
locked until you send it a special email or text or 24 hours expire, etc.

Is there some reason this is a bad idea? I can't think of any...

new job as the Facilities/IT Manager at New Horizons Computer Training Center - 
Dallas.  I'll be over the facilities in Dallas, Fort Worth, Tulsa and Oklahoma 
City.  Will be managing a small team, doing server admin stuff and other 
technical stuff, and access to any training I want to takeoh yes, I'm 
really excited about this job.  So here I am back on the lists and very glad to

Anyone have any experience with Dell's Baseboard Management Controller? I'm
getting mixed information from Dell. I can't seem to get ahold of anyone in
Tech Support via email. I may have to call them when I'm in front of the
server so I can get them to help me set it up.

I got instructions from my sales rep's Storage Specialist on how to set it
up, and I thought I'd set it up right. I hit CTL+E when the prompt for
configure remote access came up and gave it a static IP and enabled IPMI
over LAN. Still can't telnet to that IP address. It responds to a PING on
that IP address, but no telnet/web connection allowed. Just times out.

If anyone has any experience with this, can you chime in? If not, I guess
I'll give Dell a call eventually.

Thanks!

RE: Vipre console hangs server on reboot

of consoles. Then I can only open consoles as I need to work on them. But if
your PC can't handle running seven or eight applications including a few
management consoles, or if you worry because your machine uses lots of its
memory (even though it is there to be used), then you have a few issues that
need to be resolved.

Well, if they (app vendor) offer no programmatic way to shut the console
down, and they (app vendor) are suggesting that you kill the task, then your
only other alternative will be an application that programmatically manages
the dialog boxes.   This approach will likely be complicated by the state of
the server (e.g. workstation locked).

Process killing is rarely fraught with peril...

Just a thought...perhaps you need a new workstation if those things you've
listed tax it's resources to the point that you can't do your job
appropriately.

But then, given your posts regarding this problem today I doubt you'll

This I don't understand, running of management tools on (sometimes
dedicated) servers. Why not go the whole hog and run your email and internet
browsing on a server too? If you were using a thin client or a drastically
underpowered PC, then this would make sense, but not if you have a decent
workstation.

I agree that running lots of consoles creates a headache due to startup time
and occasionally on a resource basis, so what we try to do is integrate as
much stuff as possible into OpsManager, so we don't need to stare at a load
of consoles. Then I can only open consoles as I need to work on them. But if
your PC can't handle running seven or eight applications including a few
management consoles, or if you worry because your machine uses lots of its
memory (even though it is there to be used), then you have a few issues that
need to be resolved.

Well, if they (app vendor) offer no programmatic way to shut the console
down, and they (app vendor) are suggesting that you kill the task, then your
only other alternative will be an application that programmatically manages
the dialog boxes.   This approach will likely be complicated by the state of
the server (e.g. workstation locked).

Process killing is rarely fraught with peril...

My only input would be to keep in mind that most of the documentation you see 
from Dell on Equallogic, particularly configuration guides, is often written 
with PowerConnect’s in mind, especially if the guide goes down to syntax level.

So long as you’re using non-blocking switches with low latency and support for 
things like jumbo frames and flow control you have plenty of choice and odds 
are it’ll all work – for our LeftHand we use HP switches, for our Equallogic we 
use PowerConnect, I’m sure either could be substituted for the other with 
little drama.

Has anyone had any good or bad experience with a setup like this? It will only

Give way to the right, that's all we have to remember. Although we have 
mini-roundabouts too. They get the lesser lights of the UK a bit confused.

I like them myself, but they engender so much confusion over here.  You can 
generally tell the locals who have adjusted to them from the people from the 
other side of town who are trying to remember what the rules are from the 
driving test they took 20 years ago are.

The locals are waving their arms screaming GO GO GO it's your turn GO

Perfect depiction.

You should see the roundabout they put in up in Arcata by HSU, can't tell if 
its meditation, medication or oblivion but the phenomena is about the same  :)

Out here in California we have these awesome new Yield and Stop signs.

The new improved yield signs are Octaganol, red and say 'Stop' but many seem to 
think that is merely a suggestion.
The new improved stop signs are Triangular, red and white and say 'Yield'.  
Many people seem to think this is an opertunity to halt forward motion and 
meditate on this strange object while trying to figure out if it's their turn 
to go or not.

 Roundabouts assume everyone is a good driver and that people are generally

 Or at least that they follow the rules.  Most people don't seem to
know what a Yield sign means.

 If people yield properly, rotaries (that's what we call 'em up here
in New England) work okay in light usage.  Once you start getting
traffic volume, though, they tend to get stuck with one road
entering and everyone else having to wait forever, and/or force a lot
of stop-and-go entering.

 Then there's this thing:

RE: Print screen utility

[Kim Longenbaugh]

I think I'll look in to OneNote then.  I should be good at it, my brain resets 
at least once a day!

Just like office 2010, OneNote requires a brain reset - it's a different way 
of doing things.

I agree with you - I wouldn't want to have to operate without it now.

Add a few more features and MS calls it OneNote :-)

I thought it was a major PITA in the beginning but wouldn't want to be without 
it now

what more could you possibly need than this. [Snipping Tool]

Automatic uploading and URLs copied to the clipboard?  A directory with all 
your latest screenshots?  Annotations?  Markups? Borders?  

I use Screenshot Capture for my workstation.  My users have the Firefox 
Extension called FIRESHOT.  Works great for what they do.  (They make a lot of 
manuals that contain screenshots).

Do any of you have a favorite print screen utility to allow you to dump the 
contents of your screen to the printer? We have an intranet web page that 
updates frequently and it doesn't print well in Chrome. I don't know if it's 
Chrome or the web page or a combination thereof (I suspect it's more a 
combination, as it prints pretty well in IE.)

Anyway, management likes to print screenshots of the website, and I need to 
find something to help them. Looking on the Chrome web store I see a couple 
different apps and looking on download.com I see a couple apps as well.

Just wondering if you guys have a favorite app that you use for this sort 
thing. Bonus points if it is a Google Chrome extension/app. :D
