Thanks goodcooper, that sounds like a workable idea. My only concern is that some of our users are a bit computer illiterate, and a program even if only a button may be to complicated for them. I was hoping to come up with a plan that only involves people and not software (that being mostly a...

For example, on the HIPAA issue, would changing the password and giving it only to the user, but having the "change password on next logon" option checked be acceptable? Or to be HIPAA compliant would we need to have a password reset program so no tech (even temporarily) knows the password?

Well, my problem is that they are going to want a way to do this that involves the least amount of change on our part. and the least amount of change for the customer. The security password seems like a good idea, by that do you mean like a code the helpdesk would ask the client for before...

Hello I work at a IT company and I have been tasked with creating a policy for how we do password changes for clients. We have clients in all fields at different companies and we need to establish a secure way for our helpdesk to verify the person before we perform a password reset. The...

TBH and totally personal preference, I never liked the Asrock brand. no real reason. and ya I wrote the numbers wrong on the CPU, I did mean the 4790s... If no one is sure about this motherboard can anyone recommend an Asus or Gigabyte board within 40$ of this one that supports VT-d and...

Hello all. I was thinking of upgrading my primary desktop (Main in my sig, used for gaming, programming, and testing) to a 4970s and a new Motherboard. I wanted to install Xen server and then pci passthrough my 780gtx and some usb ports to a Win 8.1 VM so that I can use it like a normal local...

NTPWEdit seems like the trick. Here is the thing I will really need to remote control it, I do not think my dad can get it done with just instructions.

Also if it makes a difference his laptop is running windows 8.0

The problem is we do not have ANY account with Administrative access... :(

I need to change the admin password on my dad's PC, unfortunately he lives in Costa Rica, so I can not just drive over quick to do it, He also is REALLY bad with PC's. I wanted to know if there is a windows PE based app that can change the admin password and also one that will allow me to...

update, I forgot I had a unused esxi test box, c2q 9650 with 16gb of ram and has 6 sata ports on a GA-P43T-ES3G gigabyte mb ,in a thermaltake shark case, all new silent fans (well kinda new)... I know it would be overkill but... So is there a free NAS software that can take advantage of...

Hey all. I need to buy/put together a secondary NAS asap on the cheap ( HDD's not included ) My main goal is good longevity/reliability, my current build has had no problems cept for a freak PSU failure one time and it has been running almost non stop for 4 years. I would like it to do basic...

As in the review shows total system power when they give those wattage numbers? So TBH my PC with that card will more likely be around 350-400W range because my CPU is one generation older but also a lower rated one then the one they used in the video card review?

So if I got this right... 780 gtx review here says 351W @ load 2500k review here says = 153W @ load 504W + 100W for basic mb/fans/peripherals So a good rough guess would be 605W total power at max? That seem like a good rough estimate? If that is the case it seems like maybe I would want to...

Thanks, I figured I was good but wanted to confirm, I have not done PSU load math in a few years (since that originally bought that PSU) Speaking of that, what are good rules for PSU load? I am going to be configuring a few low end media PC shortly and just wanted to know the best way to...

I got a SeaSonic SS-750KM3, its a few years old but still does not fluctuate at all on power, this should handle a 780 gtx fine right? I also have a 2nd gen i5, an Intel server NIC, one SSD installed, and maybe like 4-5 Fans. Thanks for any info! fyi right now it is running a 6950.

Morning all. So we always remove Bloat ware and stuff from the PC on arrival and then update and install our software packages. What I was looking for was some suggestions on a way to stream line this process. Thoughts I had where to do everything on each brand of PC then...

Hello all, had a quick question. I have a server running FTP and my Desktop. While I am not using my desktop I want my FTP to be allowed 100% speed if needed, but if I am on my desktop I want the FTP to be limited to 25% minimum based on my desktop usage. I want to allow my desktop to...

thanks for all the help! I will look in to a used laptop or microcenter.

I do have a Microcenter here. Might look that over, how good are the integrated GPUs in current CPUs now a days?

new from scratch, I might be able to spare a video card tho. I have a couple of cheap AMD cards and an old 285gtx ( but that GTX would up the price just cause of needing a bigger PSU ). But tbh I would like to get all new parts, I also don't mind Intel or AMD.

Hello all Going to get a gaming/school work desktop for my nephews and I need to be under 700$ with monitor, but I would prefer under 500$ can you all help we with what would be a decent setup, my only concerns is that it can run minecraft, world of tanks, basic games fine, have good...

Thanks for all the info dandragonrage!

would any of those exploits be of the script kiddy kind where I would be vulnerable to some teenager with a program scanning random ip address?

AHHH thats a key part. thanks. do you know how secure/unsecure that would be? I am not worried about targeted intrusion since if I am targeted I am screwed anyways. but that should be reasonably secure right?

anyways. biggest question I have is... how do I handle the networking part of it. wan and lan side without a switch that can handle vlans? with out having my server be open on the wan side.

I am running it in vmware workstation because my server is my current file server with 19.5 tb worth of drives in it. and it is a supermicro atom 510 with 4gb of ram... i.e. not really esxi material. I am just attempting to consolidate since my current pfsense runs on a laptop I would like to...

RocketTech. while lack of vt-x/d will hurt in VMware WS, it cripples me in Hyper-V. and when I said "next to no overhead" I did not mean it in comparison to a true hypervisor. I meant that all else aside; VMware WS uses a negligible amount of overhead even taking into account the lack of...

in this setup how would the server access the internet. That is the part I am confused most about.

the host is an supermicro d510 atom (X7SPA-HF). while I might get hyper v running, it supports none of the vt-* stuff so it would be a pain. workstation setup was a cinch never even rebooted and has next to no overhead. plus I am more familure with workstation

vmware workstation9, sorry I abbreviated it to just workstation in original post. I will fix.

Hello I have a server 2012 box with 2 nic's. if I was to connect one of those nics to my modem and run pfsense as a Shared vm in Vmware Workstation (shared so it will run as a service) how would I need to configure the nics/network so that I do not need a vlan capable switch? layout would be...

well, couldn't say what I plan to do yet. I do not have any exp with Cisco routers, I would expect that I would mess with everything that the router could do. I have no real exp with networking (Pfsense and basic routers but nothing VPN or vlans and the more complex network stuff.) my only...

whats odd about it is that they have a pretty damn good domain name. if they actually put some effort in it and did their own thing they could have good traffic of their own accord.

thanks for the GNS3 info ElvisG, thanks for the info /usr/home. I will look in to GNS3 but I learn better if I need to work on it, like messing with my home setup then if I am just messing with a emulation. but from /usr/home's post I gather the 2621 wont get near cutting it in speed for me...

eloquently put :)

hey all, just noticed this on a search http://www.worlds-forum.com/forum.php if you scroll down you will notice that after the search engine section it duplicates HF even copying posts over... http://www.worlds-forum.com/forumdisplay.php/73-Hardware...

what can I do with it, how would it compare to a Pfsense on a IBM x41t (1.6gig, 2 gig mem) with a PCMCIA 100mb NIC on the WAN side, gigabyte internal NIC on LAN side? ( I have Comcast 50/5 ) I want to use it to learn Cisco stuff but I am worried that it is to old to even work well on my...

so when entering a "new" password it lets you enter a 50 digit pass, but when logging on it only allows a number smaller the 50 (not sure what the total is). just gave me a hell of a headache changing my password.... might want to enter password standards on the change password page and on...

yup. After I worked at a insurance and investment tracking software company and dealt with drunk investment people screaming all the time about how they are loosing 100k an hour (what bullshit). Joined the Airforce and fixed f-16's for 6 years, now I am back in computers and have a much...
