He was working with Microsoft for the past couple of days trying to recover the server/store from corruption. The original IT guy couldn't/wouldn't help him. Tuesday it had been down a week. No email, Internet, server access. I had him backup everyone's Outlook to a PST file just in case. Told him to turn DNS/DHCP on the router/firewall so they had Internet access. Have a Spam box of some kind filtering email. Users can now access it via a web client to check stored email. Basic stuff so they could function a little. Called this morning and seems the server was hosed really bad. Microsoft couldn't recover the server/store so he is going to reinstall the software and start from rebuilding the domain. Of course he is hoping to not have to recreate 50 users, the shares, permissions as much as possible. Somehow I feel there isn't any good recent documentation around. He thinks he has a clean backup in an ISO format he can mount. It seems this ISO has the server as everything on C: drive. I asked about the server and it is a Dell server, unknown model, with 3 drives in a RAID 5 configuration. Everything installed on the C: drive. Who does that? The plan is for him to reinstall the software and then apply all the updates. Should be finished later today. Then tomorrow go there and help him see if the ISO backup is good and get the shares from the registry and import them to the new install. And try to see if I can recover the Active Directory from the ISO and restore that to the new install. If not then we will be walking around a lot rejoining the computers to the new install. I'm sure I left out a few things but anything obvious I missed? Thanks.

One of our remote sites is seeing seemingly random PCs change their DNS server settings. They're all configured to get them from the DHCP server, and it has the correct DNS servers. All the PCs do in fact get the correct settings when they get or renew an IP. That all seems to be working as we expect. But periodically we'll see a machine change the DNS servers to something else. This causes applications to start failing because the hosts they need no longer resolve. As soon as the PC renews it's IP, whether automatically or manually, everything goes back to normal and stuff works again. We have a short term fix (force the DNS server settings manually instead of DHCP) but that doesn't explain what's going on, and since we're using this same setup in 20 offices it also begs the question of why just this office. Background: Multiple small offices with either /28 or /27 networks. They are publicly routable IPs due to requirements for a partner VPN. The DHCP server is on the Juniper SSG FW. It servers two pools, one for PCs, another for phones. The PC subnet is publicly routable, the phone subnet is a non-routable 10.x subnet with matching ranges. (12.x.x.x/27 and 10.x.x.x/27). All DNS points to the home office. Until recently these pointed strictly to our domain DNS servers. As part of the VPN requirement we have set up a second set of DNS servers which are used to resolve hosts in the partner's domains. This is done with conditional forwarders. Partner DNS traffic gets resolved by their servers, everything else goes to our domain DNS or the Internet as required. This all works fine except in a single office. Even in that office it worked fine for weeks and has suddenly started this revert behavior. When the PCs change, they go back to pointing to our domain DNS

* Hi folks. Long time no post...I'm on a new gig and re-subscribed
using the email address from here.
* I can't find the Powershell info for the IT-Forum groups so I didn't
post there yet. I've been googling and checking other sources also, but can't
seem to get this to work with what I've found.
* Anyway, I'm working on a script to pull a server inventory including
shares, share permissions, and other entries and any tip on what may work
better or instead of would be really appreciated.
I'm able to retrieve the share and ace entries, but when I try to write them to
an excel sheet, they aren't coming over with the human readable value like
Read and execute. I can output the info to the screen. I've tried to use a
Switch command like this but it doesn't work -
# Switch($UniqueShare.AccessRights)
#{
# 1179817 {$Sheet1.Cells.Item($intRowShare, 7) = ReadAndExecute}
# }
Below is a code snip showing what I'm doing:
$strComputer = read-host Enter computer name
$strComputerDelim = \\ + $strComputer
$sharelist = get-wmiobject win32_share -ComputerName $strComputer
foreach ($share in $sharelist)
{
$ShareAceName = $strComputerDelim + \ + $share.Name
$ShareAceDetails = get-ace -path $ShareAceName
foreach ($ShareAce in $ShareAceDetails)
{
foreach ($UniqueShare in $ShareAce)
{
#Populate Shares Sheet (This is only a code snippet)
write-host $UniqueShare.AccessRights
$Sheet1.Cells.Item($intRowShare, 7) = $UniqueShare.AccessRights
$Sheet1.Cells.Item($intRowShare, 8) = $ShareAceDetails.AccessControlType
$intRowShare = $intRowShare + 1
}
}
$intRowShare = $intRowShare + 1
}
Results on screen are like this for the Permissions:
ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
FullControl
ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
GenericExecute, GenericRead
ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
Results in the sheet are like this:

So when you are held against compliance standard (X,Y,Z) businesses are going to do exactly what the compliance mandates, nothing more nothing less, because its meets its requirements from a compliance prespective, and that is the cost they are willing to spend to reduce the risk. Anything more to the business is above and beyond what is required, and from a business prespective is not seen as contributing to the bottom line and very well might be financially infeasible to do given budgets, and time and constraints. (You have to factor in the cost of human capital (people to build, design and deploy said solutions, on top of the others to monitor and report on its effectiveness in reducing the aforementioned risk) I am not saying that compliance=security that is a moot point, because it isn't or near remotely close, but it's the measure that business are using to secure their systems against attack.

I haven't done much presentation, but one thing I do know: Do *NOT* fall into the trap of reading your slides to the audience. Slides should be visual aids, completely separate from your speaker's notes. Most slide programs have the ability to add notes to each slide, you can use that. Or just have a list of bullet points on a sheet (that's what I usually do). As others have said, memorizing lines will sound forced, so it's better to have a list of reminders than a full script. Personally, I'm a fan of a smaller number of slides, used for things like graphs, photos, example code, screen shots, etc., brought up as needed. This makes it a mixed-media presentation -- speaking some info, showing other info. I dislike slides which are just a bunch of titles and bullet points, advanced for each point the speaker is making. However, some people like the textual reinforcement. Not everyone learns the same way, so they're not wrong, just different. One way to address that is to provide a companion document with that info (or plug your book/website/blog), but that requires more resources (prep time especially, also money if you're printing audience packets). ... the possibility of getting some left-field questions at the end. Remember that one of the smartest things anyone can say is, I don't know. Nobody knows everything, that's impossible. Experts are experts because they have a solid foundation, good experience, and can solve new problems. If the problems weren't new we wouldn't need experts, just a checklist. So if someone asks you a left-field question, you can answer honestly and to the best of your ability. If the answer is, I've never encountered that before, I would have to research it, that's fine. If the answer is, I've encountered that before, but I don't remember the details -- I'd had to check my notes. Get with/email me after the presentation, that's fine. (Also makes you look good for following through and for having notes.) If the answer is There are too many possibilities, I'd have to look at the environment in detail., that's fine. Bonus points for adding But I'd start by looking at And as others have said, don't be afraid to politely tell someone to shut up.

I’m tasked with creating a mailbox that will house over 400 smtp email addresses. Think of it as a big catch-all mailbox. I’m not too worried about setting up a script to make them, I was just wondering if there was a hard limit in place. Also, any other caveats to this? Theirs is a good business justification for this. My other thought it to script the creation of 400+ public folders for each address, which I would be totally happy with, but it’s harder to monitor all those for new messages. I guess another option would be to a create about 400 contacts in AD, each forwarding to a mailbox. As long as that too is scriptable, I’m open to it.

By your argument, The odds dont matter if the risk will result in catastrophic loss to the business.: Most people don't because the *odds* very low, even though the potential impact is high. Usually, most risk people use some weighted probability of event multiplied by consequences of event to determine a risk profile. e.g. 100% chance of losing $10 = 10 points 1% chance of losing $100 = 1 point The former event, even though the impact will cost you less if it eventuates, is of much more concern to risk managers. Weighting might be applied to outlier events (e.g. those of very high consequences) Using your method results in too much attention being paid to extreme events, and inadequate supervision of more mundane, even boring, events that result in small losses.

Disk space needs differ even more—a base Server Core installation needs only about 1.6 gigabytes (GB) of disk space compared to 7.6 GB for an equivalent Full installation.” http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd184076.aspx DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.commailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Chenault Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 12:15 PM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.commailto:ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] MVMC Could you quantify “a long way”?

What I will say is to rethink your strategy. ESX has a minimal footprint allowing more resources to be dedicated to VMs. Hyper-V requires a full load of Windows Server; high overhead = fewer resources for VMs. My vote is always for the more efficient solution irrespective of other items (ease of use for instance). Not slamming Hyper-V, just tossing two pennies out there.
