I don't seem to have an eventlog security group but giving authenticated users full control of that logs folder did the trick. Once I did that I could start up all the services that wouldn't start. I will check my other servers and see what permissions they have for that folder but at least folks

UPGRADING FROM WIN XP TO WIN7

2011-03-06 Thread MMF
I've done some research on the subject of upgrading to WIN7 from WIN XP and have found conflicting info. M/S has stated that you cannot just do an install of WIN7 over Win XP. But I've seen reports that there is 3rd party software which will accomplish this. Zinstall seems to be one piece of

Ratio of IT Support Staff to Users

2011-03-06 Thread Shawn Everett
Hi All, Can anyone point me to some respectable whitepapers that show the number of IT support/admin staff to users? I realize there are a number of variables that come into play: - System Complexity - Standardization - Quality of service etc. I'm looking for general numbers with documentation
