    Favorite brand for big desktop-replacement laptops?

    All, I've run a Dell-only shop for several years now, but recently they threw my account management into a tailspin, and at the same time apparently discontinued the Vostro 17"-screen laptops that have been a staple of our office environment for a while. So, I'm now looking around at any...

    Successor to MS Forefront product line?

    I've got a multisite small business (rapidly expanding) looking for solid file services. They're running MS AD with domain controllers at each office site, so DFS is the obvious solution for traditional internal filesharing. The catch is that they have offsite salesmen and the occasional remote...

    What do you do with out-of-date cert books?

    Having three generations of old CCNA exam books lying around (and the odd CCNP book, along with a few M$ and other vendor books here and there) that are for exams that are no longer available to take, I was wondering what to do with them. I've seen used bookstores with laughably out-of-date cert...

    Static NAT for whole subnets

    All, We're looking at implementing a substantial number of 1-to-1 static NATs on our ASA 5510, a range of public IPs NATed back to a range of privately-addressed hosts. The catch is, we cannot use dynamic pools because 50.50.1.1 has to translate to 10.10.1.1, 50.50.1.2 <-> 10.10.1.2, etc...

    Employee arrival and departure

    All At my last company, it (and is) standard practice to back up the user data on the workstation or laptop of a departing employee and then wipe the machine's drive and reinstall the OS and apps for the next user of it. At my current company, I've been told it is a waste of time and that we...

    Version of VMware to use for six virtual servers on one box?

    We've got six old boxes running SCO Unix, and today successfully virtualized one of them using VMware, subject to some further testing. Our goal is to have all six running virtualized on a single Win2003 physical server. There won't be any need to back up the images themselves (the data gets...

    Fault-tolerant reservations via second DHCP server

    All, I currently have a LAN with 20 ordinary DHCP clients and 10 reservation-based DHCP clients (thanks to the faults of H.323 and 1-to-1 NAT they need an unchanging internal IP address). I have two Win2003 AD domain controllers, only one of which is running DHCP currently. I want to add the...

    Value of CCDA?

    All, I'm a network admin at a relatively small company (under a dozen offices worldwide) currently taking ICND-1&2 in order to get smarter on WAN stuff; the company has been steadily merging and upgrading IT infrastructure lately after a couple very lean years but no one has taken a...

    MS Virtual Server Migration Tool requirements

    I'm looking to virtualize a few existing physical Win2000/2003 servers, and the MS Virtual Server Migration Tool looks perfect. Except... per this FAQ ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/virtualserver/evaluation/vsmtfaq.mspx ) I need to have a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server running Automated...

    ZoneAlarm 6.0 out?

    I've just purchased ZoneAlarm Security Suite 5.0 a week ago, and now looking at their website I'm seeing 6.0 is available. Except, when you click on any 6.0 features-type links on the main page, it pretty much just takes you back to the main page. Anyone have good links to actual 6.0...

    BCMS ghost abandoned calls

    All, My BCMS application is occasionally (one or two per week) reporting what I believe to be spurious abandoned calls in the daily VDN report. Customers that have at times complained of 10-second abandoneds (even though the contract says 20-second maximum) are not complaining and I have...

    Can't ping, can telnet after blackout

    All, I've got several SCO OS release 5 servers and unfortunately I'm not familiar with *nix OSes. After a recent 12-hr blackout one of the servers is having network trouble: the custom application it runs can't be logged into, pinging it's ip address returns no response, and telneting into it...

    BCMS Vu reporting VDN but not Agent data

    All, On my Definity G3 R11 (EAS is enabled) I've set up BCMS Vu R2 via CLAN connection. I'm able to pull VDN reports out of BCMS, but when I try to select anything agent-related within the BCMS client software, it either grays out the option or gives me blanks. I'm using the same login from...

    Verisign to redirect all unregistered domain resolutions

    Article from The Register explains: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/32852.html Now excuse me while I go blackhole a certain IP address. -Steve

    Anti-spammers in action

    Interesting thread on a DSLReports anti-spam thread: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,7369182~root=spam~mode=flat;start=0 These folks are actually taking the fight to the enemy. -Steve

    Timeframe for defrag to run?

    I've got a couple private stores on a Win2k server, dual P-3 550MHz, 1 GB RAM. One is about 10GB, the other is about 3GB. Can anyone give me any reasonable estimates for how long a defrag would take on either one? The stores were both set up a year ago and haven't had a defrag run on them...

    internal hosts unable to access untrusted world

    All, I've got a Netscreen 25, v4 OS, with the external interface in routed mode. Any host inside the trusted network which does not have an external MIP mapped to it's internal IP address is able to ping out to the untrusted interface of the Netscreen, but no farther. I've already got a...

    ACD login fails, getting dialtone on one agent login

    All, I'm a relatively new Avaya PBX administrator, and I've got a v11 with CC Elite status/EAS enabled. I got one ACD agent this morning that was unable to log into the ACD, getting a dialtone (and no error) instead of the three-beep 'success' sound. He's not able to log in his agent # at...

    CAL Licensing Question

    I've gotten different answers on these so far, and M$' website is not helpful, so I'll ask here: I've heard that Win2003 server CALs are tracked the same way Win2k termservice CALs are, in that if you don't have enough, it denies additional connections, rather than just putting errors in the...

    Seemingly recursive registrar NS records?

    All, I've got a domain name (mydomain.com) that is registered with godaddy.com. Their registration entry requires that I list the authoritative nameservers by their FQDN, and more to the point, by a mydomain.com-suffixed FQDN. Thus, my NS records now show NS1.mydomain.com and...
