• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Any security benefit to leaving computers off a domain?

    Any flaw found after April will not be patched. I guarantee there will be root vulnerabilities out there. In terms of domain access, any compromised machine is then a doorway into your domain giving the malware, at the bare minimum, access to the domain resources that the logged in user has.

    Any security benefit to leaving computers off a domain?

    Yes. Any time you can remove any sort of access you gain security.

    Next thing after Gigabit ethernet?

    You're missing my point. 10Gbe does have it uses. But again, its only for 1% of users. The other 99% need a use for it to drive up production and drive costs down.

    Next thing after Gigabit ethernet?

    Yes, you are correct. In the larger platter sizes the two are on parity. However, when you get down into your typical business desktop drive ( < 500gb) they're lucky to sustain 100mb/s and that's assuming the drive is unused. Re-read my post. I was referring to less than 1% of us having the...

    Next thing after Gigabit ethernet?

    You'll see 10gbe to the desktop once the desktops can handle it. I would be surprised if more than 1% of us hardware geek types have disk systems (SSD or Spinning) that can handle 1 gigabyte/s writes, or reads for that matter. Without getting into the truly high end enterprise SAN market...

    Windows 2003 - Map Network Drive before user Login

    Thanks Squishy. That looks like it might do it. I'll test tomorrow when the data migration is finished.

    Windows 2003 - Map Network Drive before user Login

    Demon, Thanks for the reply. Problem is that I want it to do the mapping before login. There's a service that is dependent upon the "F:" drive existing, so I need that drive to exist before the service fires.

    Windows 2003 - Map Network Drive before user Login

    Hey All, I have a very large and growing Data Archive that I would like to move from ISCSI luns to a CIFS share hanging off my SAN. In order to get this to work, and be reliable, I need to have the Drive Mapping occur automatically on restart before any user action is taken. Anyone have a...

    VDI Datastore issues

    BTW- I actually ended up abandoning both the CX and the 2050a for VDI and went Nexenta running off of SSD's. I currently have 1ms average disk latency spiking as high as 2ms as reported by VMware. Full HA clustered solution for under 20 grand. Even then, the SSD's are RAID10. Note, I only...

    VDI Datastore issues

    You're going to hate me for saying this, but screw raid 5 and go to raid 10. I've watched an 8 disk raid 10 group kick the crap out of a 12 disk raid 5 group on my old CX-500. I witnessed the same on a NetApp 2050a. Parity calculations add latency. Latency = pissed off users. Hate to be...

    I need RAM! lots of RAM!

    AFAIK no Intel chipset supports more than 32gb of non-ecc ram, so I think you are stuck going FB. If you give a crap about stability, and you actually use all that ram at once, then ECC is the way to go anyways when you're talking about that much ram.
