Yikes! I feel like I owe you a refund a decade or so later ;) I would like to remind you they were called ‘crappers’ for a reason! Back then I had a buddy who ran a recycling company and would drop off pallets of old computers which I’d hobble together one boxen and a time from all the...

5 years later and your still sucking that same Moose tit...:rolleyes: :):):)

I'm running it, only vCenter install I've ever worked with. Could never find a place for vCenter to install on Windows as it always fought with some other app (small shop here, BES etc it no like). Haven't blown it up yet but all in all no issues from it. Haven't done an upgrade of/from it yet.

I did a sbs 2k3 warm. Stopping all the services (DNS/DHCP/Exchange/AD if you can stop it do) was the trick for me to make things easy.

PM me email and I can send it, too long to post here. I image it's what stilner listed, had a contractor set this up so I'm not too familiar with it.

http://www.open-audit.org/ Free, does everything you listed I think. We've got it setup on a login script.

Veeam- once setup right (95% user error) it's been pretty stable. Latest versions of Veeam are a ton better than v4 days. I've done complete DR testing excluding actually failing over the entire network and having users work in the DR environment. Networking quirks are the toughest part...

Took ya long enough... :p

Be interesting to see the price differences between: 2x hosts + 3rd physical machine + VMware licensing vs. 2x hosts + Veeam and doing replications from one host to another Give up vmotion/failover in lieu of simpler setup for the latter option. I did the Veeam thing, VSA wasn't out...

I forget the details but when I looked into this is was expensive for SMB sector.

I would disagree. What the company things your services are worth, and what the marketplace considers your services worth are not always the same thing. When a company is paying more (substantially more) than what the marketplace is offering your overpaid in my view. Good thread...

I don't have too much experience with this stuff, installed a Shoretel system here for ~ 35 users (vendor installed) and it's pretty simple to admin. For something not to take up too much of my time it's pretty nice. Soft phones are hit or miss at best, thinking of outlawing them. Performance...

Keep things on the business case point of view. What will your changes do to support the business units.

Just have the poor persons licensing for ESXi here. I went from ESXi 4 to ESXi5, with intention of taking advantage of the VMFS enhancements, and use Veeam's "Quick Migration" option. Worked out fine. Basically throws in a snap shoot, replicates the mess, powers down source VM, replicates...

felmcom just screwed up his overclocks and shot a bunch of EUE's to the servers to "look" important. :)

So your the little prick who's been peeping in my windows...

sucks having to pay for your own porn now huh?

Funny, when we were at it all we (generally speaking) ever wanted was for the "old timers" to go out the pastures and crook. Now we are the old timers... and I still feel the same way! :D

Still get a little chub thinking about that evening I spent in the dress & boots. Pagain your still a whiny little bitch.

I've had really, really bad luck with Iomega. Went through 2x IX series rack mount NAS w/ total data loss which they replaced with a PX series rack mount which is poor at best. Bad product, bad support, bad results. I picked Iomega due to being on the HCL list and with their big brother EMC...

My understanding for MAK activation is they give you a block to start with (for re-installs etc). X amount for Y bought. 50 for 1 bought, not sure when the next block kicks in. I read once you hit that mark from re-installs etc. it's phone call to MS time.

I see your provocative nature is still infecting others Carl.... ;)

Wow, take a look in the mirror.

pussy

I heard about bug in the XTM software where SIP thru VPN tunnels was not able to pass. Also having issues with SOAP traffic and have a bug registered with WG.

Users complain much?

No argument here, it's not my strength. Proposed network layout is basically firewall (DMZ's available) > layer 3 switch (break out the voice traffic) > layer 2 switches Thinking was just run the wifi network straight into the firewalls DMZ and if they can hop from there more power to...

Budget- no specific number set, as long as the business justification is there I can get the funds I need. Security- Let me know if I'm being a stick in the mud on this. My first plan was no wifi phone (installing a new ShoreTel system in conjuncture with this project), stick the wifi on it's...

Any recommendations for where to start looking for ~ 6x AP's and possibly a controller for a 16,000 building? Known uses: Guest access, staff access from notebooks (I'd make them VPN back into the network from the firewall DMZ) Unknown: Wireless VOIP phone, I'm going to try and avoid this...

Avoid Iomega, total crap.

Any experiance with Shoretel? I'm inthe process of picking a new platform and have things narrowed down to Shoretel/Cisco/Avaya. Currently have a hosted Cisco solution really not happy with. Realiability issues and lack of features currently- mostly limited due to nature of the hosted...

FYI these specs are not accurate from my experiance. I had a pfsense v1.2.3 (?) on a P2 450 I think with 512meg of ram. Ran like a top for years on my Comcast cable line. Passive heat sink CPU, quiet box. ...8 meg or so down, 512k upload line... Starting doing a lot of IPSEC traffic...

Anyone seeing companies or entire departments of non-technical users migrating to Macs?

Make sure all the Exchange services are running, specifically Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access. On a SBS 2k11 I had to set that and a few other services to delayed start for them to spin up on system startup.

This gets over my head. Assuming these are different networks/WAN locations with different sets of routable IP's I think you need to use BGP routing or something like that. I tried to do this once and was told I needed a class A set of routable IP's. I didn't have that at the time... ;)...

Veeam on the LAN works well from my experience/most everything I read. Veeam on the WAN leaves some to be desired with current version v6. Veeam v6 is suposta have some large improvements to the WAN replication performance.

Veeam v6 should re-ip things

I recommend you try having sex with Crystal, or Ryan for that matter, as I feel that would be the best use of your available resources.

Ok fine, I'll wait another week! :p Thanks for the feedback. Looks like SRM/HBR would need VMware Standard licensing plus the SRM add on'sn which would be a big jump for me with coming from VMware Essentials.

Duration aside, can you speak to reliability of VMware's SRM across the WAN using HBR/non SAN setups?
