Are there any pros/cons to doing a clean install versus an upgrade with Update Manager? I've upgraded two of our sites to version 5 by doing a clean install one host at a time while the VMs are migrated to the other hosts. Yes, I have to completely re-enter all the configuration information...

Here's another vote for the Tripplite one.

Yes, VPN and ACLs is an obvious choice. But I've already heard "Why do I have to do that? My device has WiFi, why can't I just connect to the WiFi?"

What's the trend/feelings/policies you are seeing with regards to allowing Android devices (phones/tablets), iPhones, iPads, etc. onto the corporate network? Our stance right now is "no" until we can figure out what to do and come up with policy. Since we are getting more and more push from...

Not sure if this needs to go in one of the other forums, but here goes. We are getting ready to deploy new laptops with Verizon air cards to a large number of mobile users. Because of the job functions, we need to do a few things. -vpn connection...this is already in place, Cisco ASA and...

We're using ESET NOD32 on ~2000 machines. No real problems.

Our support contract is up for renewal. I received a quote directly from a vmware employee. My question is, is there any money to be saved by going through a var or is this the best price I'm going to get? This is for Basic Coverage on Enterprise Plus licenses. Thanks!

I'm trying to configure an app in iis7 but the instructions were written for iis 6. I've been able to translate and find most of them in iis 7 except for this section. I got the first part, the bold part is stumping me. 4. Add the Quick Admin ISAPI Redirector to the default web site. •...

Really? I'd almost swear other h.323 cameras that did not have a 1-1 NAT have called A and it worked. But like I said, I'd only almost swear.

Company A has an h.323 compliant video camera. This camera has a NAT through their firewall to a static public IP. Company B also has an h.323 compliant video camera. It sits behind their firewall just like any other PC. Company B places an IP call to Company A since A has a public IP. The...

No, not on the same switch. Think of it this way: Server AIX and server Windows are on switch A. Switches B, C, D are random GigE switches on the network, random # of hops away from A. Transfer rates are great to both servers. Switches E, F, G are random 10/100 switches on the network...

It's happening in both directions. Pulling a file from the server yields 1 to 2 MB/s, sending a file is a little better, around 3 MB/s. Still not acceptable. The server reports "Media Speed Selected: Auto negotiation Media Speed Running: 1000 Mbps Full Duplex". Switch is set to auto also and...

Network consists of Cisco 3560/3750 switches, mostly 10/100 to the desktop, some gigabit to the desktop, all gigabit uplinks between switches. Server vlan has a mix of Windows and Unix (AIX) machines. If I'm on the network and talking to a Windows server, file transfer rates are excellent no...

We provide wireless guest access through our Cisco wireless lan controllers. Username and password are required to use it. My problem is, on busy days, the dhcp pool for guest access is getting used up. There aren't that many people actually using it, it's all the devices that are randomly...

I have an ASA 5520 running 8.4(1) and an RSA Authentication Mgr server, 6.1. I've created an Anyconnect vpn profile and have it successfully authenticating to the RSA server. I will have a few different groups of users using this. Each group will have different access. How do I either: a)...

And upon further investigation, it appears that you can't RDM to DAS.

This is a standalone server using Direct Attached Storage.

I have a need to create a VM that needs multiple terabytes of space on a single drive letter. I've read in the past to avoid using extents to expand the datastores but it seems that this was with vmfs 1 and 2. What's the consensus on using extents in vmfs3?

Have you tried something as simple as creating a new local user on the box and then logging in as that user and see how long it takes? It could be that your user profile is whacked and causing the problem since you say it gets to the login prompt rather quickly. A fresh, new profile might zip...

You guessed it, backup software. We are in the process of evaluating these three and have meetings, demos, etc. set up but I wanted to see what Ars has to say about them. For EMC, we are looking at their Data Domain appliance and Networker software. For Symantec, we are looking at their...
