On the off-chance anyone was still following this thread.... Apparently there was a NFS or filesystem setting that was causing the issue...but I couldn't get a more detailed answer from our internal AIX guru.

Thanks for the good tips guys, I'm going to check them all out and see how it goes.

Thank you for your response! I'm not sure what you mean by the type of disk it is. I'm pretty new to AIX/RISC systems.. It is an external RAID array of SCSI drives attached to an F50. Is there other info needed that would help narrow the problem down? I've asked one of our techs to try the...

Hello, At my office we are working to restore nearly 200gb of data that was lost in a RAID array failure on our F50. According to IBM, 3 of our Disk Drives on the array failed within a span of less than two weeks. We have been working on the problem for several months due to problems with...

Excellent! Looking forward to trying this in the morning :) Thanks a bunch for the quick response.

Hello, I'm pretty new to AIX. My company sent me out for training just a few weeks ago, after our senior AIX administrator left the company. In taking over his environment, I've run across quite a few maintenance related tasks that seem better suited for automation. Case in point, I am asked...

We have an ongoing project to standardize our naming convention right now. Nothing solid...but I'm leaning towards something like: D001-0604L D/L = Notebook/Desktop 001 = Sequential numbering 0604 = Month/Year of purchase L/P = Leased or Purchased With something like this I'd really never...

I've decided to go with Software Update Services for the moment. If it proves too difficult to work with, I may go another route. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Thanks James, I'll give it a try!

Thanks for the tips. I do have Norton Corporate set to do daily scans at lunch time. It has reportedly found a few infected systems, but it "quarantined" the files instead of cleaning them. I can't tell by that terminology if the system is now safe or not. I have also run the...

Just to add, I do have a managed Norton Corporate Edition running on the LAN but I'm not sure I trust it to tell me accurately which computers are infected or not. What'd I'd really like to do, is force everyone's computer to run the removal tools. Perhaps a login script could do this...

Does anyone out there know of a way to scan your network to see which computers on your LAN are infected with the W32.Blaster.Worm or W32.Welchia.Worm? If I have to go to every PC in my office to do this...I'm going to go nuts!!! I've thought of a packet sniffer, but I'm not sure which traffic...

We did it like... Active Directory Users & Computers -> User properties -> profile -> \\server-name\shared-folder\user-dir\username.usr With it set this way, it sync's the profile upon Windows login/logout. Seems to work well for us this way. krawz

Unfortunately, we have too many to add manually. Also I would have to update each one myself, which is not worth it.

First off, we do have ADNS set up on our 2000 domain, but there are pc's in another country that are outside of the domain that we have not been able to access without the use of host files on each of our desktop PC's. I thought it would be cool to add a line in the login script to...

Good question, I wondered how to do this for our office too. To answer your question...I have no idea.

Just out of curiosity, what is redirection and why does it need to be used on the My Documents folder? I just finished setting up roaming profiles in our office and My Documents seems to sync fine with server/client. Thanks! krawz

I would not touch any freeware software if your servers are in a production environment. This is just begging for trouble. Terminal services works well for me, and is supported/updated by Microsoft directly. It's always nice to have someone to yell at when things go haywire. Whatever you...

Terminal services rules.

The problem was IP confliction. Two MAC addresses were requesting the same IP. Later testing via network sniffer revealed this. However, during my searching for an answer, a LOT of sites said antivirus could cause the problem. If you are having the same problem, try disabling your...
