I have a websense server doing filtering sitting in our DMZ. I also have our Cisco ASA firewall setup to query the websense server. All this does is filter traffic. It doesn't "monitor" the traffic so I'm unable to tell what sites people are visiting. How would I get this working? I don't...

Are there any alternatives out there to WebSense that are as good or nearly as good as it? The one year 75 user license is around $2,500/year. I've used squid w/ squidguard/dansguardian in the past but it definitely wasn't as good as filtering as websense.

I'm looking over the DST 2007 changes and came across this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930879/ I am absolutely confused as to why this tool is necessary. When the time change hits on March 11th, are Exchange calendar items going to switch their times on their own? I really do not...

What is one of the better thin clients w/ XP Embedded available today?

I have a 3560-24-PS-S (standard IOS cisco switch) and have a basic smartnet contract on the switch. Is there any reason why I can't just go and install an EMI (enhanced IOS) on the switch? It has sufficient memory (flash/RAM).

What do you all use for Exchange 2003 anti-spam measures? Our license for symantec mail security expires soon and my boss wanted to add global disclaimer text in all emails (symantec mail security can't do this as far as I know).

I have a problem on my wife's Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. Certain websites wouldn't load for her (i.e. www.ae.com, Windows Update site). I did my usual checks and even tried Firefox 2. The website still wouldn't come up. I did a full reinstall with WinXP Pro SP2 and the problem still exists...

I have two switches that I'm trying to aggregate trunk links across. One is a 2900XL and one is a 3560. On the 3560 I have ports 47 and 48 configured as so: switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk channel-group 1 mode on On the 2900XL I have ports 23 and 24...

Is a Cisco 2900XL switch (2924M-XL) with 2 2-port 100baseFX modules with IOS 12.0 worth using in a lab? I'm building a CCNP lab and was wondering if it was worth it to keep this switch for that. My other switch (3550) is running 12.2 (IIRC).

Does anyone know of a good vendor for a mobile (on casters) 4-post cabinet (in the 12U to 14U range - something that'd go under or next to my desk). I'm getting to the point where I need to start rackmounting my lab hardware.

Anybody know of any good books for Oracle database administration?

Has anyone here ever tried hot-swapping Cisco components? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to hot-swap T1 WICs on a 3725 router that I have.

I noticed this company I'm doing work for has a box of like 100 Windows XP Pro licenses. Has anyone tried to get Microsoft to consolidate licenses into a single corporate license? It seems like it would be a good idea to do this if doing installs from RIS.

How many people here are using Asterisk either at home or at work? What are your setups like? What hardware did you decide to go with? Soft client? Hard client? Anyone with a clustered/redundant server setup? I'm curious how most of you did this.

Storage Area Networks are completely foreign to me. NAS and DAS's aren't. Can someone give me a breakdown of how a SAN works? When a system is connected to the SAN's fiber switch, does the 'allocated' space act as a 'directly attached harddrive'? Are there typically multiple partitions...

Does anyone here use some form of tracking software like Computrace? The company I work for has about 20 laptops in the field. None of the laptops have any form of asset tracking. Does anyone here have experience using such software? Was it worth it?

I'm looking to make a high capacity NAS for my brother's small business network. I want it to have around 1TB of space. Should I look at SCSI or SATA? I notice Dell is pushing high-capacity SATA disks in their storage servers rather than SCSI. Why is that?

What's the difference between 'SP SERVICES' and 'IP PLUS'? I've never been able to find a part of Cisco's website that discusses or lays out the differences of the endless amount of feature sets listed in the CCO website. Is there anybody that can point me to a webpage that lists this...

I never was a believer of Bluetooth enabled products when Bluetooth first hit the market. It wasn't until a few months back that I gave it some thought and tried out a few bluetooth products. Microsoft's bluetooth mouse, Jabra's BT250V, Nextel's BT-enabled blackberries have all shown to be...

Are any of you as anal as I am about keeping your systems (all 11 in my case) with the latest BIOS version? I have no idea why but I'm very particular about it. I'm wondering if this is even necessary to always be at the latest version.

Does anybody here use an online fax service? I'm speaking in reference to services like eFax.com and myFax.com. If so, which service do you use and why? How much do they charge?

I'm having a problem where sometimes when I create a GPO and apply it to a certain OU it won't fully apply to the client machines. When I run a gpresult on the client machine the GPO lists itself as "Filtered due to being empty". The GPO is clearly not empty. I have 1 setting change in the...

For an active directory setup what kind of group policies do you use?

How do most of you handle mobile users under an Active Directory setup? I have about 10 laptop users that I want to integrate to our AD domain but most of them also end up taking their laptops home and doing work from there. How do you handle the logons? Cached credentials for x amount of days??

Which directories should I be saving off of my Windows 2003 Active Directory servers?

I have two APC Smart-UPS 1000VA 2U rackmount backup systems for my two 2-post 19" racks at home. I come to find out that I need a $100 kit from APC to mount these 60lb units in my 2-post rack. Do I really need that kit or is there some other way I can safely mount these APC backups? i don't...

I'm looking to depoly a 400GB file server in my house next week and I'm wondering if I'd be better off using Samba/FreeBSD or using a license I have for Windows 2003 and use Windows 2003 file sharing. Out of the two, which would be faster/stable/more secure? Could I do authentication off my...

Anybody have any idea how to block this? I'd rather my users didn't attempt to abuse Outlook 2003 by adding Hotmail over HTTP (RPC over HTTP). I'd like to block this somehow. Snort can't seem to do this. There isn't a signature ID to look to.

Is there a way possible with a win2k3 group policy to limit the number of times a program can be loaded?

I'm setting up multiple access points in my house and had a question about transitioning between the APs. They will be equally spread around the my house (~3200 sqft). There will be two on each side (towards the middle) with probably overlapping signals. How would I safely transition? Do I...
