    Shadow Copies in 2008 R1 not using all allocated disk space

    We have a Windows 2008 R1 (with SP2) file server with three 3TB logical drives shared out. Two of the drives are in active use and thus have Shadow Copy set up on them. One in particular is configured to use 208 GB for Shadow Copies, and currently has 627 GB free. Last week it was using just...

    Storage Server directory quota showing wrong value

    We have a Dell PowerVault MD1000 running Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 (64-bit) that we are using as our primary file server. Each department has their own directory on a 3 TB virtual drive (on a PERC RAID controller), with directory quotas set up for each department based on their average...

    Flat LAN across two locations using VPN

    Our company is annexing an external warehouse, and is planning to install a basic network there to support LAN-connected inventory control systems. The equipment we have available at this time is a pair of PIX 501 firewalls (one for each location). The plan is to use a VLAN tunnel between the...

    Log all commands done in Privileged or Config mode

    I've already got the switches sending their alerts to a Linux syslog server, and that is all working properly. What I'm looking to do is have the switches report all Privileged and Config commands run on them to the syslog server as well. That way we can have an automated record of any changes...

    Log all commands done in Privileged or Config mode

    Is there any way on any of the following Catalyst switches to log all commands entered by someone in Privileged and/or Config mode to a syslog server? 4507 3750 2950 2900XL The only solution I've found requires Event Manager, which none of these switches has. Thanks!

    Cisco Aironet - Multiple SSIDs and WEP keys

    Our wireless network is based on Cisco Aironet 1200 wireless access points. We have several VLANs set up on each, and each has its own SSID and WEP key. We've noticed that, if you set up one SSID on your computer but use the WEP key from a different VLAN on the same AP, you can authenticate to...

    Using logs to recover individual deleted records

    Is there a way to use rollback and/or the transaction logs to restore individual records, or parts of records, that might have been accidentally deleted or altered via Management Studio? We are rolling out a new SQL Server 2005 infrastructure to replace an old, kludgy Advantage database to run...

    Recovering individual records

    Thanks very much for the info! I will run it past my bosses and see what they say.

    Two separate forests on the same subnet

    Can two separate Active Directory forests coexist on a single subnet within the same LAN without interfering with each other? Computers in both would all have static IP configurations (mostly XP, with a couple NT4) with manually-configured DNS and WINS entries. We have an existing domain that...

    Application to monitor/free up COM ports

    No, none of those helps. I'm looking for an app that can tell which programs are using the system's COM ports, and/or can be used to forcibly free up those ports from the app(s) that have locked them. There's no "I" in "TEAM". But there's no "U" either. So if I'm not on the team, and you're...

    AGP440.sys hang on boot

    You said the SATA controller is on the motherboard. Does the BIOS have settings available for SATA drives? If not, do you have a secondary POST that comes up during/after the BIOS POST, that looks more like a SCSI startup? If you get a secondary "Press X-Y for Setup" after your BIOS POST, try...

    AGP440.sys hang on boot

    I don't have experience with that specific board - I would go into the BIOS and see if there's anything listed under options like "Advanced Chipset", "Peripherals", etc. Or, you can try loading the "Optimized Defaults" (if that option exists) and see if it restores the proper settings. One...

    AGP440.sys hang on boot

    Check all your connections and make sure the drive is firmly plugged in for both data and power. As it's a SATA drive, make sure that you aren't using both standard and SATA power connections on it (if the drive has both). Also, try connecting to different SATA channels on the controller. If...

    AGP440.sys hang on boot

    I have seen this when trying to install a drive image that was made on a computer with a different motherboard. Have you done any imaging, or tried swapping an OS hard drive between PCs? Have you added or removed any hardware lately? If you haven't done any of that, then it's possible that...

    Application to monitor/free up COM ports

    Does anyone know of an application that can do one or both of the following: 1. Tell which process has locked a system's COM port(s) 2. Forcibly unlock a COM port that has previously been locked by a process We're trying to help troubleshoot a custom program written for our company and this...

    The security and patching of a production server

    My personal preference is to not install all available updates on any server, unless it's used for Web or e-mail access (Outlook Express) and/or is a Terminal Server used by standard users. The more patches you install, the greater chance that one of them will break something on the server...

    The security and patching of a production server

    1. I personally recommend using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for both clients and servers. You can configure the servers through Group Policy to only notify you (the Admin) of updates WSUS has ready for it, and "manually" install them when you can afford the downtime. WSUS can handle...

    Run a script at first logon only

    We have a logon script we would like to run for each user ONLY the first time they log onto any computer in our domain. The script runs Outlook 2003 and invokes a .PRF file to automatically configure Outlook with their mailbox information. We do not use roaming profiles, so a new profile is...

    "cpio: rename failed - Is a directory" on cron yum job

    I figured this out and, after backing up the existing directory and symlink, switched them around. While that seemed to solve this problem, it caused another: we run RequestTracker on the server, which uses fastCGI, and the "proper" setup breaks it. That explains why the earlier admin swapped...
