Where did you get those magnets? I want them for my workstation.

Sounds like a management nightmare for backing up.

You must be new to the industry. Congrats on your first job!

Plex is definitely friendly to setup once and walk away. XBMC will scratch the deep tinker itch.

First off, you are being put into a really hard position as you don't have a lot of money to really work with. All solutions on this will be fairly patch worked together. Do they actually have offsite storage for these tapes/drives? Anywho, drives can fail, especially if they have come out of...

I ended up picking it up from the Gamefly deal for the xbox. Beat it a couple nights ago. I'm not sure what RA Salvatore had to do with it but it doesn't seem like his writing style. Anywho, if you want the xbox version, PM me

My current plex setup: NAS: FreeNAS running on a HP N40L microserver Living room: Plex Server/Client Mac Mini i5 Bedroom: Hacked ATV2 - Plex client Office: Roku with Plex Channel Garage: core 2 duo plex client windows Plus ipad/iphone/android doing plex. I have yet to encounter any...

Boohoo I want a new HP Microserver!!!

Hrmm you might want to get someone with some base networking skills to come in to help them.

I assume you want gigabit? Do you need it to be a managed switch? On ebay you can snag Dell Powerconnects (2724 or 2824) which would give you gig and layer 2.

Qnap and Synology are going to be your best bets at that price range. Throw a external usb drive onto the NAS that it backs up to and enjoy. Unless you want to roll your own box and run something like freenas.

I might just hold off on refreshing the pfrsense idea.

USB RAID.. Sounds shifty. Rather root the Pogoplug and setup the USB devices to rsync between each other.

I get where you are coming from but you want your ESXi box to be fairly stripped down. I don't want a webserver running on each host. Just opens too much security issues on each host.

Possible botched rootkit or permission elevation attempt? Though I think that is really unlikely. You have one box open to the net. They are going to look to root that then move to the others. If you've had RDP open to the internet then you've had many many people daily rattling the door...

Eh.. they are 2950s, they are pretty cheap and easy to acquire now days. I'd keep the NAS inside the office and just run those 2950s in a horrid dirty environment. It'll also test out your fail over vmotion fun. You could pretend you are the network server admin at a dinosaur dig site out...

Only if you have your Sonicwall setup to dump logs out to syslog or email. Was this box behind on patches? The only thing I can think of is there are a few RDP exploits that are possible. Nobody is going to want to hack and then just bluescreen systems, they'd want to get in and hang out...

If you can think about it in reverse and only allow a few IPs that you typically connect from. You can always add the range for your cell provider and use that in a pinch to rdp in and open to other IPs if you happen to be connecting from a non-typical connection. Other than that. Patch and...

Yeah I jumped over to FreeBSD and so far zero setup issues.

I'm hoping all this UK pricing starts making it over here to the states. I need another one.

BTW you guys may find this amusing. While watching a youtube video the pre-ad was from Barracuda targeting folks "Left high and dry by Postini to Google apps migration". They even made a custom page for it. https://www.barracudanetworks.com/postini The more I dig into the postini topic the...

I have our reseller getting us a Evaluation unit of the Barracuda for archiving. I'll continue to spam/encrypt via Postini but I may find myself jumping ship. The break even on these units seem to be almost about a year when compared to Postini. I love handing things over to a service but it...

I think the problem is there is Google Apps and Postini. When you read the current Google Apps documentation it may or may not take in Postini language of the future. Again this is the trouble of doing business with Google, you don't talk to google or ask them questions. They announce. I'm...

My concern is that Google will just cut features. Also I really need to see what the other side of the transition looks like before I can let my guard down. I understand people jumping ship from this change.

Why not use Google Message Security? Doesn't it function the same way with the same MX handling?

What are you talking about? All the FAQs I have read said they will continue to allow on-premise servers. We run a large Exchange setup here ourselves. Can you show me where in the FAQ? http://support.google.com/postini/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2717451&topic=2717405&ctx=topic Is there...

I'm confused. Why do you think they are phasing out Postini? The only thing they cut was the continuity product and everything else they are doing is a rebranding of the Postini name over to Google Apps. I've asked around to make sure they are not going to ax the features we use...

I wouldn't sweat getting a premium external drive if it is acting as a source for the Roku. Grab two 2TB drives for around $99ish each and rotate them.

Ahh the fun of open source projects. There was a shift in the community when FreeNAS went a more commercial route and wanted to stop supporting the legacy FreeNAS 7. Most people found 8 to be buggy (it is pretty good now days). The 7 group went off and did NAS4FREE. Honestly I run FreeNAS...

Oh well.. His request is going to be a painful solution no matter what route. What is a laptop doing running around that needs to meet PCI compliance?

Configure the system so that it has to VPN to the home office and browse from there. Either by having the employee RDP into a TS or Desktop at the main office. That way it'll follow compliance of the office.

Synology or QNAP if you want to go with a appliance.

If my kids don't proxy their connections behind a VPN then I have raised them wrong.

scanpst is a real utility, I'm not sure why you think it is a virus. The name is most likely the renaming that happened during patching. If your PST file for your outlook is corrupt, you'll want to attempt to fix it. You could also make a new outlook profile and resetup your hotmail...

You'll want the router handling the WAN traffic. Best bet is to either pick up a second AP or Router put into AP mode or follow RocketTech's advise and roll a pfSense box which would act as your new WAN router.

I'm going with UniFi APs after I finish ebaying a few items. Even with DD-WRT on my E3000, it still flakes out. I'm done with soho/home gear.

Young man you don't let that technology sit and start aging and going to waste. Cook yourself up a FreeNAS or Nas4Free.

Also have you tried: * Renaming the subfolder, creating a new one and moving everything over to that. * Creating a new pst and then moving data over * Scanpst

If you are using pop3 as your method for checking messages then they are being brought down to the local client level and handled there. So you'll want to check out your Outlook 2007 pst file that is managing that store for the account. I doubt it would be a network or security issue.

WHS 2011 is in a weird position right now. Discontinued but as I understand supported in patches for a while. Though the announcement will pretty much kill off any growth or progress from the community and plugin developers. Getting a technet subscription might be best for your lab. You'll...
