  1. iSCSI is an option is you need clustering on the cheap, but if it can be afforded go with the fiber channels. will make for a better responding server,

    what you would be looking for would be a active, passive setup for your cluster, or active, active. one thing to remeber is clustering is about high availability, fail over is good but there may a few second or so ( depending on hardware and config) where the machine would not be available as the second node kicks in, but over all shouldn't be noticeable.

    better questions is this you only server? or a main server that cannot go down, clustering is not the cheapest route to go but the best for making sure that resources will be available to clients all the time.

  2. daemonforce exaggerates on the 15k rpm needed, but he is right, vista runs slow on any HD right now because of the beta state, wait for the febuary CTP and hopefully they will have gotten the bugs out for that. This should be the first code complete version. But i could be wrong also

  3. On Feb. 14, 2006, Microsoft Corporation announced the vision and roadmap for Active Directory, which includes expanded capabilities that customers will see in future versions of Microsoft Windows Server, starting with the release code named “Longhorn.” Customers, developers, and partners will begin to see these new, richer capabilities in Beta 2 of Windows Server “Longhorn,” which is due in Q2 of this year.

    As a first milestone in delivering against this vision, Microsoft is aligning all of the identity and access capabilities available in Windows Server around Active Directory to help customers simplify deployment and administration, lower the total cost of ownership, enhance security, and streamline compliance. This work includes the renaming of several capabilities with the Active Directory brand in Windows Server "Longhorn":

    • Active Directory Domain Services, formally Active Directory Domain Controller

    • Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services, formerly Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)

    • Active Directory Rights Management Services, formerly Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS)

    • Active Directory Certificate Services, formerly Windows Certificate Services

    • Active Directory Metadirectory Services, formerly the Identity Integration Feature Pack (IIFP)

    Original At Microsoft

    Anyone found anymore information on these, tested some of the feature on longhorn 5270, very cool but do not have enough machine/free time to much heavy testing. Also anymore info on this? sounds like some very cool features being intergrated to AD. Can't wait for the beta 2 of longhorn

  4. Lets take your first IP range for example.

    10.0.0.0/19

    Each 1 or 0 counts as a bit, we have 32 bits in a subnet

    we have 19 bits assigned for the network ID giving us

    11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000 or a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0

    we got the 224 for the 3rd octet by adding the values of each bit, 2^8(128) + 2^7(64) + 2^6(32) = 224

    now the remaining 13 bits we have are for the Host ID we use this number to find the number of IPs that can be hosted total. so 2^13 - 2 (can't have a 10.0.0.0 and 10.0.31.255 is for broadcast) = 8190

    now we need to find the number of subnets that we have. since the default a class ip range has a subnet of 255.0.0.0 and we have 255.255.224.0 it has changed a bit, lets look at the binary

    255.0.0.0 = 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000

    255.255.224.0= 11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000

    So to find the number of subnets lets look at out Host ID = 00000.00000000

    this is hte number of bits that aren't ones in the subnet mask. to find the number of subnets just start filling in with ones

    HostMin: 10.0.0.1 (NetworkID) 00001010.00000000.000 (hostID) 00000.00000001

    HostMax: 10.0.31.254 (networkID) 00001010.00000000.000 (HostID) 11111.11111110

    so we have 32 subnets that each can have up to 254 clients in each subnet

    so based on the questions you asked before

    specify the # of bits in the subnet identifier, the # of possible Ip addresses in each subnet, the subnet mask for the IP addresses, and the Ip address ranges for the first and last subnet.

    # of bits would be 19

    # of Ip address would be 253 ( 0 doesn't count and 255 is reserved for broadcast)

    subnet mask would be 255.255.224.0

    IP address ranges for the First - 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.254 and the Last - 10.0.31.1 - 10.0.31.254 subnets.

    let us know which part if holding you up, the more specific the better, i know they are a pain but once you get it, it will seem easly. Feel free to note errors in mine :) i am a little rusty

  5. could be a Driver development kit for vista, i haven't heard of a driver kit or download from MS yet, it also could just be a compilation of drivers people have found to work with vista

    Correction,

    there is a windows driver kit but it more looks like for building drivers and testing them to work with vista, could try dloading that file and see what you get

  6. well then you might have a good reason for not liking dell, but the matter is still with the chipset, like you said you have it running on a NF2 chipset where as the NF4 is the one in question. try it with a NF4 mobo and see if you can get it running. It might be possible but i have yet to find drivers or a method that will work

  7. unfortuantly adding themes or fixing the icons is not something that can be easily done unless you get something like windows blinds working on 2000, since alot of theme framework for skinning and such wasn't in 2000 you might have a hard time doing this

  8. what OS is this? what are you using to burn to it? we need a little more information to work with if we are to help you. sounds like the CD has already been burned to and closed, you would have to overwrite the information to burn to it again anyway unless it is a re-writable disk,

  9. Might be in the wrong section, But been playing with longhorn and setting up DC's and trying to install/test alot of the new features that are out with it, but running into a few issues and i wanted to see if anyone else had been testing this and run across this.

    Terminal Server - installation will not finish\begin, is trying to install but getting an access denied message

    IIS 7 - cannot get ASP .NET module to install correctly

    many more but i will refrain from making a huge list if no one else is testing this
