SysLog Server
by Guest Dragon- 5 replies

Could someone please recommend a SysLog Server application? We are in need of capturing logs from Cisco PiX firewall and a few other Windows Hosts for Auditing purposes (no daily monitoring). I understand there are some good freeware Linux based solutions but I am looking for a decent Windows based solution. Even if it is not free (inexpensive is good). Thank you.

Staggering Difference in Network Performance??
by Guest Bryan L- 3 replies
- 325 views
I just tried to transfer a 500MB file from a server to my workstation. Since I was already TS'd into my server I mapped a drive on the server to my workstation (since I do this sort of thing fairly often) and started the copy operation to "push" the file down to my worksation. Performance seemed very slow to me -- after chugging away for a couple of minutes, the transfer was still only 1/2 done -- so I decided to try "pulling" the file to my workstation rather than pushing it from the server. The whole transfer took less than 10 seconds. Why should there be such a performance difference in transfer speed? Would the drive mapping have anything to do wi…

Server 2008 x64 And Shadow Copy Backups/DosDev
by Guest Saitir- 4 replies
- 260 views
Hi All We're using Server 2008 x64 Standard for running Exchange 2007 and SQL Server 2005 plus a few small COM application objects and a small amount of file serving. When it comes to backup time I have to say I was disappointed with the Server 2008 option of full drive only. Its useful to be able to do that, certainly, but its not the only kind of backup thats useful. So, I decided to go the Robocopy route - an excellent tool for anyone unfamiliar with it. All went fine until I got to the point of wanting to get the Exchange edb files backed up. Some quick reading later and the combination of VShadow and DosDev (create a shadow copy, then mo…

[W2K3]Empty desktop
by Guest PhilTheGap- 8 replies
- 279 views
Hi there, I need to constraint a user account on a W2K3 computer in order to: - launch an app when this account is accessed via Terminal server/Citrix - prevent the user to do something else: so the desktop must be empty, the Start menu also, Ctrl-Alt-Suppr must be impossible... This account will be a local server account. Is there security model for that ? Is applying a GPO the best solution ? Thanks for you help... Philippe

Windows Server 2008 GUI
by Guest muriwai- 0 replies

Hi, I am now struggling with a number of the great improvements Microsoft did to Server 2008, in particular: - RegEdit don't have "closed" and "open" folders in the left treevew pane anymore. All folders regardless of state are just pale yellowish supposedly beautiful pieces of useless work. If the right pane (values) is selected, one can't tell which folder the values belong to. Is there any way to fix it and may get the old good 2003 icons? - WinMail panels now use 1 pixel wide splitters. To resize a panel, I now have to position the mouse exactly on that 1 pixel line, which is it least 5 times harder than in Server 2003. Have anyone tried to do i…

External and internal domains and DNS Server
by Guest muriwai- 2 replies
- 288 views
Hi, I have the company.com Internet domain which serves the company's public Internet website at http://www.company.com. The authoritative name server for this domain is somewhere in the Internet. Now I installed a new domain controller on Windows Server 2008 for a new internal domain which I called company.com as well. I guess it wasn't a wise decision because if I type http://www.company.com on a machine that belongs to the internal domain, the address can't be resolved. It's understandable because the domain controller has the DNS Server installed which knows nothing about the external company.com domain. Is it possible to configure the internal…

Hi Guys, Hope Im in the right group. Im in a stage of fixing my network. This is my current setup. 1. I have an active directory server, which is mydomain.com, wherein also my DNS and DHCP is located. 2. My subnet is 255.255.255.0 This is my idea. 1. Have these servers: (Need suggestions on these) a. AD Server with DNS Server - is this a good practice? b. DHCP Server with ISA Server - is this a good practice? Other concern: I want my network to have access limitations. Here is a scenario. 1. In our network, only managers can use their laptop to access our network and internet. It can be wired or wireless. Un…

I ordered an 8 processor, 32gig RAM server from Dell today and the pre- sales rep told me that Win2K8 x64 Standard was limited to having 4gig of memory per VM with standard and that to go above 4 gig I'd need the Enterprise version of Win2K8. I hadn't heard this before, is he correct? Thanks!

Thanks!

Windows 2003 DHCP Monitoring
by Guest AlanW.- 1 reply
- 170 views
Previously our company had Novell DHCP services, and this provided us a live monitor of all DHCP Requests, Acknowledgements, Denies, etc. The Windows DHCP server seems to be lacking any kind of monitoring. It does have logs that I can check, but a monitoring tool would be preferred. I'm also looking for some way to search for a specific MAC Address within the system. Is there some suite of tools available for enhancing my Windows DHCP Administration beyond the minimalistic management snapin? Thanks!

GPO Software Deployment - DNS Alias
by Guest Hutch- 3 replies
- 206 views
We have recently replaced our main file server, migrating all files\software. Currently have 3 GPO's in place that were reponsible for deploying Office, Visio STD and Visio Pro. We should have used DFS, but that is water under the bridge right now. I had thought that a DNS Alias would allow the GPO's to contact the new file server, even though the server name was different...however this does not appear to be the case. I have put the entry in for disabling strict naming, and verified that the server is at least listening for the Alias as well. However the GPO's will not install. Keeps advising that the source location is not available. But whe…
