Samurize??

If you can get a drive letter out of it, run a CHKDSK /R on it ASAP.

WSUS for the win.

I'm digging through the whitepapers now but haven't come across the synching yet. I may step up to R2 on our backup server since there's an inherant interoperability flaw between certain flavors of Samba and 2003 Server. Our SAN/NAS head happens to be running Samba, so I can't backup the shares...

I bought SF and went on an Apache whoring frenzy and loved it. I then bought EuroForces and it won't even let me play it. It says i still need to download it even though it shows as downloaded in my EA loader. I gave up on it, and find myself playing vanilla BF2 now. Th egame has only given me...

I'm not sure how they expect to get more, paying, NEW members with the current page layout. You'd have no idea it existed unless you really hunted around. Maybe that's what Kyle was wanting. I lost my GenMay priveleges yesterday afternoon. Not sure why, but such is life :(

Someone order the extra large BanHammer with cheese? ;)

You've only been here for a little while, so I'll try and fill you in a tad. :p So what you're saying is that rather than support a community, you agree that the [H] should be nothing but tech stuff? That hardly constitutes a "community", which is full of people of varying interests, that...

RIS works great as long as your NIC is supported. I had a BEAST of a time getting Broadcom NICs to do it after Dell switched from Intel Pro 100VE's to the Broadcoms halfway through a shipment of 100+ machines.. grr :mad: We still use RIS, but I also have a bad-azz little handheld cloner...

I'd like to see some pics...I'm interested.

Hi gang, looking for something to replace our current WinVNC installs on client machines. We're getting drilled on our security audits for "weak password encryption". We have around 200 machines. Would PC Anywhere be the best bet? RAdmin? We'll be starting from scratch but the MAIN concern...

Go on with your bad self bro. Hell, I'm just trying for my CCNA and I'm scared as hell.. :D

There's a plugin for Cacti that does this. As for inventory of the devices, try Rancid.

I have heard the exact same thing from our Cisco reps. Of course, they make more money having us upgrade to ASA, so I'm not sure what to make of it :D

My Toshiba PCX1100 slowly died last month. I was dropping connections more and more often. I bought a new Motorola SB and slapped it in. I haven't had it drop one time in the last month. I would say "yes", it can happen

I couldn't agree more. Cacti is the f-ing bomb! Threshold and Monitor Plugins FOR THE WIN!

Great info gang, and we are a cisco shop that has been eyeing ASA as well. As for the mail filtering, I assume you're talking about their phishing/spam detection stuff. Hopefully I won't need to install that as we already have a "Spam Assassin-like" program on the outer relay box. I just need...

We're entertaining a quote to roll from McAffee EPO and Outbreak Manager to a full Trend Suite. Any admins here running it currently? How's the overhead? I haven't used it in over 5 years, but we had pretty good results with it back then. Thanks.

Well Cadillac, and Intel did the same thing. Just goes to show who the powerhouses are. Trend is still good stuff.

DING DING DING! Give the end user NOTHING but the minimum they need to get the job done.

Anyone Specialists working under you or will this position be the ONLY PC person onboard? Not a lot of servers to deal with, but 250 clients for one Admin could get hairy.

I've got us down to 2 Metaframes left. As soon as I can web-out the rest of my apps they're gone. SUCH a headache.

Buy a laptop hard drive for 60 bux and install the OS and games on it. Slap it in when you want to play. Makes sense to me. I admire your security worries though.

Well I got it up and running like a champ on IIS. I used a different version of RRDTool. Seems very stable once it's in place. Installed Threshold, Monitor, and Cycle plugins as well. Now I just need a way to set the Thold to email me when a server drops connecitivity. I've tested disk space...

I've been all through those forums with a fine-tooth comb, and have even posted there about this, but no replies. A lot of people have had the issue with 2k3/IIS, but there are no posted solutions. Are you running Apache on a Windows box, or are you on a *nix box? I'd really like to have it...

Played with MRTG, but thought I'd try another platform. Cacti looks really cool. Anyone here try running it on a Win2k3 box with IIs 6.0? I have the "repeating login" screen where it doesn't seem to set the session cookie so the login screen just loops when you try to get in. Anyone got any...

RSOP plugin is your savior. GET IT

LINKAGE??!??!??!

http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/products/graphics_gallery.php?gpid=143 Can't find it anywhere. Looks to be a good solution, and hopefully quiet..

The flavor I used recommended Active Perl and Apcahe. I didn't want to run IIS on the box I was using, but it's good to know it can handle it.

Thanks Daishi, I can get access to a machine shop if needed. Watercooling is out of the question for now, as I intend this to be portable, and run off 110V hoousehold. You think 4 x 80 watters with 4 120mm coolers could hold the heat off for an hour or two if ducted to the outside atmosphere?

Tried to the MRTG on Windows route and it is nowhere close to being a nice install. Perl, Apache, RRD, all that crap, and it all has to be certain versions dependant on other versions. Good lord. I gave up and did What's UP Pro. point --> Click--> Graph. I love it.

You running Metarframe XP or Presentation Server 4? delete the content of C:\WINNT\system32\spool\PRINTERS and then kick the IMA services. Lots of info here: http://support.citrix.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=150997&fromSearchPage=true&#150997 I run our farm here and have learned...

Thanks Czar. Great info as always. I'd be exhausting the heat outside the enclosure. I want to make a TEC powered ice-shooter slide :D

Strange question, but Google has left me still searching. I need to cool a 1/16" concave piece of aluminum that's 24" long by 1.5" across. I was wondering if I would be better off with multiple TEC's placed every 6 inches, or if one giant unit in the middlw would do it. There would be no heat...

Why would that be the case when a switch can do jumbo frames per port? It doesn't flood anything except the backplane, which I would hope could handle it.

I guess I could try another IP, but how would that help if IIS isn't doing host headers on it? I'd still have to type the port number on the end of the IP. The thing here is that IIS is not managing this site on :8080. Ipswitch uses their own, built-in webserver.

You gotta get flashy with your titles these days or the threads sink like cannoned schooners. OK, done with the nautical theme, I promise :D Trying to streamline the What's Up Pro install I'm doing and I'd like to give it a nice alias so I can just type Whatsup in the browser and get there...

We use it for a mobile setup (with VPN), and it's so-so. if you're only going to surf, or mayble download a few games or ftp down, I think it would be a lot better than Dial-Up. you just have to get used to the latency. You have to click......................wait...........WHAM..whole page is...
