Not to mention the fact that you'll never utilize 100% of any network connection when TCP/IP is used, due to it's inherent overhead. Gotta agree though, either drivers or other hardware on one (or both) of the servers isn't keeping up with the demaind for data on the wire.

I was about to suggest that - you beat me to it .

If you .zip up the folder, how large is it?

No, obviously not. Try a site like dslreports.com instead with this question.

It'll be a Hyper-V environment, I'll let you know how it goes. It won't replace my ISA 2006 box, but I always like to try out new software packages, especially really well-thought-out ones like this.

Honestly, if you're doing a domain rename as part of the process, I'd go with the new forest route. You can do a domain rename once you migrate all of your 2000 machines off and move to a 2003 native AD schema structure, but that can leave interesting artifacts behind that may (or may not) cause issues in the future. Migrating to a new forest keeps things like that from happening, although you'll need another Exchange/BlackBerry installation, and migrating the mailboxes will be (slightly) more difficult than an in-place domain upgrade. However, long term, I think a new forest migration is worth it.

Active Setup or RunOnceEx would be easiest. A startup cmd script in the Startup folder would work too, but would be harder to make word just once.

Want I? What does that mean? Sorry, couldn't resist...

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Would have been nice if he showed the version of the kernel binary (to see the actual build number), but still cool. Maybe, maybe not.

That looks pretty interesting, indeed. Gotta try untangle out in a VM soon.

Probably 5512.

...and there's always that, true .

It may be OK, especially if it's SP1, but adding another 1GB of memory is definitely your best course of action.

Does it happen on a non-modified Vista install? If it does not, you probably want to ask this in the vlite forums.

Expect it to be available from Windows Update starting 4/29, although it may take some time for every region/language to see it. By the end of May or into early June, I would expect it should be widely available to everyone.

Best thing to do is to get a network trace from the server (and if possible, the client via a hub) and see what is actually happening on the wire - is the DHCP server giving out the right options, and is the client parsing/using the option correctly?

Secure Computing's IronMail email gateway and Barracuda's SpamFirewall are two I'm familiar with (although I've only seen the IronMail product in use, not the SpamFirewall). The barracuda product isn't expensive, but IronMail is definitely priced for larger companies. Note that the Barracuda product is basically running an MTA + commercial email filtering software, and can be replicated to a great degree with Sendmail(or insert your favorite MTA here)+spamassassin+mimedefang+clamav. Howwever, the Barracuda has a nice web front-end that's definitely easier than the Linux CLI or webmin . If you've got the dough, the IronMail product is really incredibly effective too, honestly.

Well, not without some data on the CPU time. Perhaps you could look at the process with Process Explorer and see what is using the CPU time in that process?

2008 has some very basic event log parsing, which can be used to report, but nothing like other utilities like WSUS or SCOM. And yes, you're currently unicasting the WIM 4 times .I'd suggest replacing that test box OS with a straight 2008 install, and perhaps a transport server box as well, and switch to multicasting if you've got the network equipment to handle multicasting in your environment.

If you look at process monitor's log of disk activity, if it's an svchost.exe causing it (which I believe it could be, as I remember your original post), we need to look inside that svchost to see which services reside inside it. However, if you are not using readyboost or superfetch, or the search indexer, I would disable all three to start. Also, if you aren't running SP1, I would strongly recommend the upgrade as soon as you are able as well, as some of these issues are caused by Windows Update scanning (via trustedinstaller.exe) prior to SP1.

You're missing the point, and you need to read up on javascript, for one - you don't need anything more than this to get data typed into a page, regardless of submit (especially DHTML, which can react to your input automatically). The point is it's a page being run by a javascript that is set to expire so it won't be cached, and the javascript is parsing and storing your password temporarily as you type, and while it doesn't currently upload anything to the server (that I can tell), it could.The point is, no one checked before using the site and giving it to others. What's to stop another site like this from simply using a post event in the javascript to post what it stored to the webserver, along with your IP address or some other information? Social engineering at it's best.

I'm a little confused - you managed to get the different versions off of the DVD, but you want to merge all of the versions into one single WIM file? Your statement/question is a little... odd. Could you perhaps re-ask your question in more detail?

Two questions spring to mind immediately - assuming you're running SP2 on that 2003 box, do you have 947775 installed? Also, are you multicasting images or just unicasting? EDIT: Actually, this is a 2003 server, so you don't have a multicast option (this is a 2008-only option). So, you may be indeed hitting some unicast limitation of the NIC. Is there any reason you don't have a 2008 box for WDS deployment (or a few, including some running the transport server role)?

All you need is to make sure the processor supports AMD virtualization, and is a stepping F2 or F3 (F3 is better, if you can find one). That's it.

If you have access to a box you know is running it, you could use a network sniffer, or tcpview, to see what ports it's using when active. However, I've found it easier to just ALLOW ports at the firewall, and implicitly block everything else. That way, unless I open the port an app uses (and I really only allow mail, web, and XBL traffic from my home network through the firewall outbound), it doesn't work anyway. Something you might consider.
