The launch featured vSphere 5, the newest version of our flagship product. As many of you know, as part of this announcement, we introduced changes to the vSphere licensing model in order to align costs with the benefits of virtualization rather than with the physical attributes of individual servers. While our goal was to provide a licensing model based on consumption and value rather than physical components and capacity, we strived to make the new model as non-disruptive as possible. These changes generated much debate in the blogosphere, in conversations with our partners and customers, and across VMware communities. Some of the discussion had to do with confusion around the changes. We have been watching the blog commentaries carefully, and we have been listening to the partner and customer conversations very intently. A great deal of feedback was provided that examined the impact of the new licensing model on every possible use case and scenario, and equally importantly, reflected our

More or less. I would separate your desired access groups into separate networks. Conceptually, start with the idea that you have each group on a different physical switch, each with its own DHCP server, and its own snip So upgrade the concept to a firewall that understands 802.1Q VLAN tags. Only one cable from the switch to the firewall. Each separate VLAN gets associated with that single cable, and the switch and firewall use 802.1Q VLAN tags to know which isolated network a given frame is for. Only the switch port connected to the firewall emits or expects frames with VLAN tags. (I believe Cisco calls this a VLAN trunk port; HP calls it tagged; I dunno what Dell calls it.) All the other switch ports are on a single VLAN (untagged in HP-speak), and just act like separate switches for the nodes which aren't aware of the other networks.

More or less. I would separate your desired access groups into separate networks. Conceptually, start with the idea that you have each group on a different physical switch, each with its own DHCP server, and its own snip So upgrade the concept to a firewall that understands 802.1Q VLAN tags. Only one cable from the switch to the firewall. Each separate VLAN gets associated with that single cable, and the switch and firewall use 802.1Q VLAN tags to know which isolated network a given frame is for. Only the switch port connected to the firewall emits or expects frames with VLAN tags. (I believe Cisco calls this a VLAN trunk port; HP calls it tagged; I dunno what Dell calls it.) All the other switch ports are on a single VLAN (untagged in HP-speak), and just act like separate switches for the nodes which aren't aware of the other networks.

Removing Exchange attributes is the way to go.

I'll make sure the team updates their documentation to either remove

the event the user returns -- or disable certain mailbox features. To
confirm, in regard to BES, if i disable the MAPI function, that should
suffice right?

Disabling a user doesn't stop its mailbox from receiving or sending email.
That is a specific required use-case in cross-forest scenarios.
You need to disable their access via the mailbox features (MAPI and OWA and
EAS are the top-3) or remove Exchange attributes from the account.

Subject: OT: Disabled AD Accounts and BES
All -
There is a suspicion that a recently terminated employe's credentials might
still be in use on the network. (Disclaimer: I don't handle user
termination/creation) Since the user had multiple computers, I thought it
may be possible that an outlook session and of course windows session
remained logged in while the account was disabled. But I confirmed that
wasn't the case. We confirmed that the user's BB was still in service on the
BES console. It turns out that the user may still have been accessing
corporate e-mail from the BB, my question then is: How is it possible that
by disabling an AD account (changed the p/w as well) can BES still operate
normally ? What are your procedures/steps for user terminations/exits?
Environment:AD 2003 R2 / Exchange 2K10 / BES 5.0

Subject: OT: VMWare replication/redundancy
It's budget time and I have been asked to get quotes for replicating our 4.X
ESX infrastructure to a colo site.
Google gets me lots of hits. Anyone doing this with their esx?
I am seeing the likes of Veeam, Doubletake and Quest/Vizioncore. Any others
come to mind.
thanks

RE: iSCSI SANs vs FibreChannel SANs
+1 Seems lots of folks who have existing FC environments might be tempted to continue down that path, but if you don’t, and you’re looking at a primarily VM environment, ISCSI would probably fit your needs fine.

Its great, access to information (potentially lifesaving) is almost instantaneous from anywhere in the world as long as youve got a decent internet connection and can run a Citrix plugin. Its great as long as it is accessible. However, I have this sinking feeling that one day, something cataclysmic will happen and nothing (electronic) will work. Maybe in the next few years, maybe not. Either for a prolonged period of time, or even indefinitely. Perhaps it will be a localized event that will take our data center down, or maybe something on a larger scale conspiracy theories abound about end of days type stuff. Just because it has never happened in our recorded history, does that make it really so far fetched? No, Im not off the deep end (at least not yet anyway), but us making ourselves more and more dependent on technology (not to mention the government) can and does have its drawbacks Kinda funny how we can paint ourselves into a corner, isnt it?

As a foreign citizen there are all sorts of ways I could fight the request - and it was at least my choice whether to do so. As someone living in the US I also had the whole weight of the 4th Amendment on my side. Now, with everything in the cloud, the decision whether to hand over my personal information is almost entirely out of my hands. And unless, as happened with Twitter, the company storing my data decides to fight for openness on my behalf, there´s every possibility that I won´t even hear about the request until it´s too late. That´s just not how things should work in a free society. Of course, it remains statistically unlikely that I´m going to be the subject of a subpoena any time soon. I´m hardly an enemy of the state. But then again, until recently, neither were many of the supporters of Wikileaks. Who´s to say that an innocuous organisation I give support to today won´t suddenly become highly controversial tomorrow? For that reason, I´m giving serious thought to the idea of taking my communications back out of the cloud: switching back to a traditional email client and storing my documents on my encrypted hard-drive. = Included Stuff Ends = Seen here:

I was planning on looking into this after Christmas but here are a few things I have run into. 1. The WD Y drives (the TLR limited, RAID specific ones ... both RE2 and RE3 version) performed much slower than Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000, by far. This was on WS2003 32bit, WS2008R2 and ESXi 4 using Adaptec 3405 Sata RAID controllers. The adaptec 3405 / Hitachi Ultrastar combo has proven itself for us with ~100 users. 2. For another need (5 users, small business that is) I was going to look into the Terrastation but find many comments of slowness and I don't like the OS being on the HDD's. But they have a really cool neat-o feature that if you buy two of these you can set up live replication. I was considering this for my Mom and Pop's business - so it's a little more heavy duty than plain home use. But the price is not much higher than the adaptec controller above and HDD's. IIRC they had another feature that you could attach a USB drive for backup. 3. Because of #2, I was looking at the Netgear products. Netgear had some sort of replication, I forget what it is, but I don't know if it's as whiz-bang neat-o as the Buffalo implementation. 4. All my home machines have RAID of some sort using *GASP* Promise raid controllers and old hard drives that I just had laying around! But alas I have outgrown the capacity and want to upgrade to something else. 5. I may just get the cheapo USB/eSata RAID 1 array (Fantom G-Force MegaDisk) and be done with it!

Due to the overall and very sudden increase in the customer user base we are now finding we want to potentially use the servers in a cluster environment to help cope with the increased demand, in the short term. So based on the server software outlined above, will we be able to configure NLB across both servers without having to procure additional software? Is NLB the right way to go to get the short term gains or are there other options/configurations that could be implemented quickly. My own wish is to use a VDI implementation to satisfy current and future customer user requirements. This however is see as a medium to long term solution to the problem we are currently facing.

RE: Windows CE
MS's track record with mobile devices has been dismal at best over the years. That said WM7 has gotten a lot of really positive press, and since its all ActiveSync driven, it shouldn't be any less of a phone for the enterprise than Droid and iPwn. The question in my mind is that is it just another OS that's going to get tossed to the side of the road, or will it be a developing entity like Droid and will you be able to easily upgrade your phones rather than in the past where you were pretty much stuck with what you got.

It will be pretty simple virtualization, a couple of big boxes running 4 or 5 virtualized servers each. No cluster failovers or anything like that. 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. I suspect it provides far more flexibility but not knowing what that flexibility really is concerns me. So thought I would ask the knowledgeable masses here if I am missing anything important.

If you are getting ERP messages than you are communicating with RIM but the BES user account most likely doesn't have permissions to access the boxes. Double check your permissions, and then recheck. Dumb question.the bes account is not a domain admin is it? It was common in 4 to prevent the sd admin process from overwriting permissions for the account used. If you are using the same account in the domain its possible the perms on the account are wrong. Easy way to check is open the user mailbox in ad and look at custom permissions to see if your service account has read and send mail perms. Then the Exchange perms needs to be there as well. Last case if login to a box that has outlook as the service account and try and open a mailbox, if you cant then you know it's a perms issue.

You should get something like this: vswif0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:4E:D4:28 inet addr:172.16.15.21 Bcast:172.16.15.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:47793949 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30426544 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:38276131304 (35.6 GiB) TX bytes:24724689335 (23.0 GiB) From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 5:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: ESXi fun I've spotted another DL360 with a couple of spare drive bays that is running ESXi as well.

We have a few dozen domains that are non-critical that I don't want to host on our internal Exchange system (mostly political some technical reasons i.e. I don't want some of the users anywhere near my LAN). Most of them only have the need for abuse@ and postmaster@ to be configured, but a few of the domains have some aliases setup and a couple of them have some POP3 mailboxes. I've tried hmailserver and mailenable on one of our DMZ boxes and each does the job whilst each has its quirks (I'm leaning towards hmailserver right now). Any suggestions on anything else that is cheap/free and easy to configure? _ MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 114 5409 96 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
