    Which firewall do I need?

    I have a series of small process control networks currently being fed by individual DSL circuits through individual firewalls. As you can imagine, trying to monitor these circuits from a single workstation is a PITA. Besides, DSL just plain sucks and I've ordered a T-1 to replace them. I'm...

    Subnet Mask weirdness

    I have this Netopia DSL modem/gateway with the internal IP set as 192.168.1.254. I have 1 client machine connected to it, getting dhcp from the netopia. Everything works great when the netopia has a 24 bit mask and has handed out a 24 bit mask on dhcp. I.E., netopia 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0...

    ADUC - The proceedure call table is invalid

    I recently had an encounter with Exploit-YIM.CYFT. My AV caught it, but I still had to fix the LSP chain with LSPfix. This got IE to work, but now I can't open ADUC. My PC scans clean with 4 different AV products. The MMC is fine and loads with no snapins. As soon as I try to add the ADUC...

    Anybody tried XP SP3?

    I realize this is a little off-topic for this forum, but... I'm hearing about boot loops, random reboots, etc. but it's hard to tell how widespread. Besides, the press always smears an SP after it's released, makes for good headlines. Ain't nuthin' perfect. Anybody tried it yet? "We must...

    GPOs don't refresh

    When I create a new GPO the users get all the settings and everything works great. But if I edit an existing GPO, the changed settings don't propagate to the users, the behavior never changes. When I look at the GPO with gpmc it shows the changes. Gpresult show the GPO as being enforced. I've...

    Organizing GPOs

    I'm currently creating seperate GPOs for each particular policy enforced; i.e. a GPO for power mgmt, a GPO for WinFirewall, a GPO for IE settings, etc. I'm starting to amass quite a few GPOs and I'm wondering if I could be negatively impacting bootup times by causing so many scripts to be...

    Set variable=nothing

    I see this a lot in the examples provided in this forum. Why is it necessary? When the script exits, do the declared variables somehow persist? Please enlighten this ignorant newbie... "We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however...

    Disaster Recovery for SAN or NAS

    Just wondering what popular consensus is. Lets say a flood wipes out my NAS box, how can I have the data it held offsite? Tape backups? Sync to a duplicate box in another building? Looking for "foolproof" here...

    Power Options GPO

    Anybody know of a template for setting workstation Power Options? I can't seem to find one anywhere... Workstations are XPpro sp2. Thanks. "We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - Sherlock Holmes

    Shared Printer Visibility

    Building a print server on W2K3 R2 SP2. When I create and share printers, icons representing those printers show up in the root of my server (alongside the file shares) when you browse to it. Oddly enough, there is also a folder called "Printers and Faxes" that shows up, and inside that all the...

    Help with logon scripts

    I'm in the process of converting from Netware to AD. I'm merely administering an OU, I don't have control of or access to the DCs. For the life of me I can't get a user logon script to trigger. GPOs are working fine, home dir mappings are good. Scripts are located in a share I created on W2k3...

    BB - Unset password

    A user left his handheld at a diner while at lunch, so I locked it with a password. User has now retrieved the handheld, and wants the password taken off. I can't find out how in the manuals, would someone offer a clue to this newbie? "We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other...

    Network Load Balancing

    I'm getting an error on bootup in Event Viewer that say the NLB cannot start because it is disabled or there are no resources assigned to it. This is correct, I'm not using NLB and have no need to. How can I stop this error from popping up? The NLB Manager shows no clusters assigned... tia...

    Disk Utilities

    I'm looking for suggestions for a good disk checker. I need to perform full surface scans on SCSI and SAS drives. I need to have a utility that I can boot to and run regardless of the OS; I need to check the integrity of the disk, not the file system on it. Any recommendations would be most...

    Tapes not appendable

    Running BE 9.1 build 1158.9 on Netware 6.5.5. Suddenly, none of my tapes are appendable, regardless of how much data is on them. In the media set, overwrite protection period is infinite and append period is infinite. Yet every job overwrites the tape. I have changed the tape deck and...

    11d logs

    I know this is a stupid question, but where do I set the log verbosity? I want to know which folders are getting backed up, and I can't seem to find the log settings anywhere.

    Conjunctive Operators

    I have a table of people's first and last names and employee #. I want to show everybody except Joe Blow. My TSQL is SELECT LNAME, FNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FNAME <> 'JOE' AND LNAME <> 'BLOW' ORDER BY LNAME; My problem is that I'm not getting a logical AND, I'm getting a logical OR. It doesn't...

    Sun Java DST patch botched

    Yes, the Java patch you put on your server is screwed up. Lucky for me, it only affects Eastern, Hawaiian, and Mountain time zones. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102836-1 Freakin' incredible.

    ePO 3.6.1 and VSE 8.5 policies

    Trying to get a brand new system up and running. When I right click the McAfee OAS icon in the task bar and select VirusScan Console, it shows the status of the various AV processes on the client. One of these is "AutoUpdate" set to go at 5 PM (default). This is a bad time, as my users turn...

    Identity Manager justification

    I know this subject probably belongs in the eDirectory forum, but there's so little traffic there and I need as much input as I can get. Let me describe my situation a bit: I run a small LAN (eDirectory, not a single NT domain in the shop) connected to a fairly large WAN composed of many NT...
