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...

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.

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...

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...

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 have a few work apps (web interfaces) that require DIFFERENT Java versions. For whatever reason, I have an app that won't work unless I use 1.4_02 (verified that 1.5 crushes it), and another set of sites that need 1.5+. Short of going into IE each time to set the version, is there a way...

Looking at boosting our NAS/SAN appliance's performance. Have a 48 Port Cisco Gig Blade in a 6509. I know how to turn Jumbo frames on at the CatOS level, but (stupid question), do I need to do something on the NIC side to force jumbo frames, or do most of the new Gig NIC's auto-negotiate that...

You know, this is the LAST time I offer to help somebody.. :mad: I'm fixing a PC for someone complaining of slowness and popups. Well I have the popups under control and the slowness isn't from the sypware. It's the Machine: Dell Dimension 8100, 1.3Gig P4, 128MB PC600 RAMBUS RAM...

I installed it on a 2003 SP1 Server here at work to play with, and the software itself works like a champ, but for whatever reason it just refuses to show the web version. I've made sure ASP is enabled, but I still can;t load any of the pages. I'm sure it's just a stupid security setting in...

I have a friend who is trying to set up his security people with "walkie-talkie" like headsets. He'd prefer to do some IP based system that would use a transmitter or AP to allow them to walk around the facility, yet be in constant communication with the others. I know walkie-talkies would...

One of our work machines in the DMZ can't get out to the internet, becuase it has a 24/7 VPN tunnel established, and a gateway is already set back to vendor. I can use a static route on the DMZ interface to get to specific IP addresses like Google, but when I try to do the windows update...

We have a program that will drop a file from our VMS Mainframe to a Windows box each night, and will name the file. The catch is that on the VMS side, we don't see a way to give the file a different name each day. This FTP process will be scheduled, so whatever file name we choose first, is...

Got our SAN up and running, but the NAS is being a little whore. I have a general question about VLAN tagging. Current setup: Catalyst 6509 with 48 Port Cisco Gig-E blade NAS Side: We set up a virtual IP for a NAS share, yet we can't ping that IP. It's on the same VLAN, so we think the...

Just got our 8 TB NAS/SAN installed and we're configuring it now. I created a 3TB LUN on the SAN for our Disk to Disk Compnay backups. The only thing is that Server 2003 SP1 (standard) is telling me 2TB is the max. I REALLY don;t want to have to go dynamic on this thing. Is there a reg change or...

Seems like everyone at work has started clammoring for those cool "looks like you signed it" email sigtnatures. Our users are unable to view them becasue they get this nice prompt: So everyone that's trying to set them up has a Red X signature in their emails. Has anyone who admins a...

I have them setup to call secondary vb scripts for logons, but can I use ws.Run to call a batch file as well? For example, is ws.Run("nameoffile.bat") a valid insert? I'm trying to enable RDP Domain wide, since VNC is laggy and pissing me off. I want to slap it in as a logon script to...

I was looking into doing a full AC install, but I came across 2 incredible deals on the same day that required I stay 3/8" ID. I did however get the AC SLI cooler w/ 3/8" barbs so now my Northbridge no longer idles in the fricking 60c range. I'm a little disappointed how much more cluttered she...

I'm looking on Newegg and all of them seem to have a power brick. For portability I prefer being able to just plug a normal PC power cord in, sans brick. Is it because I'm looking for a SATA enclosure? The 1st enclosure I ever bought was like 2 years ago and it had a built in PS.

HELL YES IT COULD :D He had this in his system, and got so pissed with it crashing during games, that he gutted the whole thing and went AMD/DFI-NF4/OCZ Rev 2 in a new machine. He gave the old stuff to his son. Now his son;s PC was crashing during games. I lent him a gig of generic RAM and...

Sells for 270 at Newegg. I got this for Christmas from my father, but I already have a Canon SD300 w/ a 1 Gig card. I took about 15 pictures with it, and it works great. I have EVERYTHING it came with, including the 16MB XD card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16830122049...

Trusty card and runs like a champ. This is a BF6800OC. I have a 7800GTX now so this puppy can go. Heatware under typhoon43, ebay is the same. 150.00 SHIPPED & insured anywhere in the continental US. Here's the card. I wiped the cooler down with an alcohol swab to get my fingerprints off...

3Ware 8500-4 SATA Hardware RAID Card. Does HARDWARE RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD Comes with manual, Software Disk, and a couple of cables. My Boss had this in his previous rig and he gutted it. Asking 150.00 SHIPPED.

Just got a new 48 Port Gig-E blade for one of our Catalyst 6509's. I have been told that technically these are hot puggable, but I have also heard of people blowing the switch up when attempting this. I really don't feel like coming in at 2AM just to power down the Catalyst and bring it back up...

Well I THOUGHT I was happy when my parents fot me a new camera, but thsi is pissing me off. It's a Fuji Z1 with XD memory. My Canons and their SD have never given me issues. I'm trying to grab my Xmas pics off this thing and my card reader looks like it's trying to access it, but there's nothing...

Got a new camera for Xmas (Fuji FInepix Z1) and wouldn't you know it, it takes XD. My Canon SD300 has a 1Gig SD card, so it's a no go. Anyone have a 1GB XD card they'd like to trade for? My SD is a Kingmax Platinum 1GB card and works like a champ. heatware: typhoon43 ebay: typhoon43 Thx.

I'm getting anal at my old age, and I couldn't stand the way our racks were mismatched as far as the servers went. We had 3- 42U's about 1/2 full each, with tape drives on top of servers. It was gross. well myself and the other admin decided to surprise him. In the process, we freed a 42U APC...

I was biting my nails when the UPS guy showed at work, but just like the Miracle of Xmas, Santa brought me my presents. AC SLI Cooler w/ 3/8", and my BFG7800GTX-OC w/ DD NV78. I can't wait to slap it in. The AC is DEFINITELY low flow, but hopefully it won't burn my pump out.

I've seen peoples results with adding fans to blow on the back of the GPU core. It got me thinking. My 7800GTXOC goes in tomorrow with a Danngerden NV78 block. Has anyone tried boring a hole in the center of the lexan backplate and removing that section of foam to expose the back of the core to...

Well I got my 7800GTXOC in today, so it was time to drain the system. I'm glad I took it apart. I used a mixture of 3/8 ID tygon, and the Astek tubing that came wiht my waterchill kit. The Astek tubing still maintained its shape, and was still fairly stiff. The Tygon, however, was pinched at...

Yes, I searched :D I'm putting together a purchase order to take me from Waterchill land to AquaComputer Avenue, and I'm down to 2 (or 3 things) 1) What size tubing do I need to order from AC for the 1/4" Plug and cool fittings? I assume that's 1/4" bore? They had 1/8" inch fittings and I...

Trying to pick up some Gigabit Blades for our 2 Catalyst 6509's. The vendor is asking if we want the fabric enabled versions. I've been trying to look around Cisco's site to see how this helps. All I can see is that it "increases throughput" The main use for thsi blade will be to support the IS...

I have to say I'm a sucker for a nicely finished WC setup. I'm not an Extreme OC'er (Venice [email protected]), but I'd like to get some extra speed if I go AC. Current Setup: Asetek Waterchill CPU Block, DD Acetal MAze4 on 6800GT (to be 7800GTX next week), BIX 2x120 Rad. Pump is the one that comes...

Well this blows. I got tired of manually cleaning the HelpDesk and Master System Account, so I created mailbox management recipient policies for them. I set it to delete any emails over 14 days old. I just ran it, and I get a call from a girl over in records saying she got a message stating that...

If you are an IT employee and work on-call, what kind of compensation do you get? For instance, I'm salary and get an extra 100.00 a week to be on call 24/7. This also involves calls every Saturday morning at 8:45am to reset passwords from people who partied too hard the night before. Do...

Been trying to absorb as much info as possible but can't seem to get a good bead on the steppings. Here is my stetup so maybe you guys can point me in the right direction: Pluses to my system: DFI NF4 SLI-DR Watercooled (3/8" Asetek/DangerDen combo) 2 GB RAM Been running a 3000 Venice @...

OK, so I ditched my Intel 3.0C @ 3.8 to go with a Venice 3000, DFI LanpArty SLI-DR, 2 Gigs OCZ Plat Rev 3, etc setup. I have my 3000 running @ 2.5 gigs (water) right now. The gaming perfromance is good, but I'm just sick of the stuttering when trying to do more than one thing at once. It's...

Running 2003 SP1. Didn't roll to SP2 with it's 75GB limit b/c to me it's still not proven. We run standard, not Enterprise, for 200 users. Our DB just hit 16GB and crashed. Trying an offline defrag but I'm scared. I've never had to do this. Am I going to be ok? CRAP!!! I went from like 9 Gigs...

SARC wants a subscription, but we have one starting to come in, and McAfee Enterprise isn't catching it. Before I got through the phone support nightmare, I thought I'd ask.
