Re: [NTSysADM] VLAN dhcp issue Netgear GS748Tv5

2016-08-23 Thread Andrew S. Baker

The switch can handle layer 2 traffic and VLANs just fine. The inability to
handle DHCP is a separate thing altogether.

Thanks Espi,

i guess i was hoping to see if someone had real world experience with these -

i find it odd that it can be labled and sold as a managed switch with vlan
support if it requires a 2nd switch.

i thought perhaps i was missing or overlooking some setting(s)

What if soemone had a small network (30 pcs , a few servers and some printers)
and they bought this 48 port "managed layer 3 vlan capable switch " with the
expectation that it can do what it claims?

thx again

Hi J-P,
I didnt really see a question in your initial post, but if I'm understanding
your frustration correctly: If there are no DHCP helper options, I dont see how
this could work. DHCP is a broadcast protocol, and needs a helper mechanism to
cross networks. I can only assume that this model is a lower-tiered option that
is meant to be stacked with a higher-tiered managed switch.
I saw a similarly themed question posted here:

Hi all,
I've been testing VLAN on a GS748tv5 I emphasize v5 as netgear tends to create
different devices and only differentiate them by the version , as a matter of
fact this device does not have a "ip-helper, or dhcp relay" options (yes I know,
its old , and crappy anyway),
So I created vlan5 , assigned it an IP 192.168.5.1 , added the firewall port and
test pc port to the vlan and since I have no option for ip-helper or DHCP relay,
the PC received no ip address (and yes, I did create the DHCP scope 192.168.5.x
on my 08r2 server, )
If I give the pc a static address (i.e 192.168.5.x ) I can then successfully
ping 192.168.5.1 , further research said to enable DHCP option 82 on the DHCP
server; https://www.google.com/search? q=dhcp+option+82&ie=&oe=
which of course doesn't exist in 08, so I tried to manually create option 82,
still no joy-
if anyone can share any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated

RE: [NTSysADM] Macrium Reflect Opinions anyone?

2016-08-23 Thread Harry Smith

Reference: Macrium reflect

I have used it across my home machines (ThinkPad's, hp desktops, acer desktops, 
and an ideapad) to image to 
(and from) local drives, and to (and from) a networked 2012 server (dl380).

I had no issues during cloning.  Est 1 hr per 100 gig over gb backbone at my 
home, your results may vary  ;)  

CAN create a boot partition change, so the user could boot off the Macrium boot 
code to restore or boot off c drive or boot off the main os.
I found that very useful, but, it must be updated per o/s, so if you update 
from 7 (winpe3) to 10, you must update the pe to 10.
I did not test boot loader OR imaging with encryption on or enabled.
It can also back up individual partitions, and be scheduled with its built in 
scheduler.


The only issue I can (so far) see is each machine copies the drivers for THAT 
machine into the boot stick or dvd/cd.

I would imagine you can copy from one hardware stick to another, but I have not 
yet tried it.

Good luck!

2016-08-23 Thread Poppy Lochridge

Something very weird has happened with one of my clients' servers.

In June, I configured group policy for redirected folders to store Desktop, 
Documents, and Downloads in 
\\SERVERNAME\folderredirections$\users$\USERNAME
 for about 50 users on the network.
It's not a big network, but they are cautious with resources, so rather than 
fix the FOLDER of user data that the previous IT person named "users$" - he was 
trying to make a hidden share and didn't know how - I left it as it was. The 
Folder Redirections folder is in C:\Users on the server, so I closed down the 
share on Users and fixed permissions so each user controlled their own folder, 
but no-one else could access their files.

Things were quiet-ish for the end of June and through July, redirected folders 
were working, no files disappearing, no odd permissions problems. Until 
yesterday.

Yesterday, we were notified that users were getting permissions problems trying 
to delete files from their desktop. Some people reported that they'd restarted 
and logging back in took, in some cases, hours. On a hunch, I looked at Group 
Policy.

Redirected folders policy had been changed - to something that looked like a 
vanilla, out-of-the-box setting produced by a wizard. Desktop and Documents 
were now pointing at 
\\SERVERNAME\Users\Folder 
Redirections\USERNAME. Downloads had no policy configuration set.

We're running Server 2012 R2 on this system. They've asked me to do what I can 
to prevent this from happening again - it's been rather disruptive - but this 
is a strange situation, and I'm at a loss to understand HOW this happened.

Hit me with suggestions - have you encountered a situation where group policy 
changed unexpectedly? What's your best guess for how something like this 
happens?

Re: [NTSysADM] Folder Redirection Group Policy Resetting itself?

2016-08-23 Thread Micheal Espinola Jr

Something happened unexpectedly - Sure, but nothing just changes on its
own.


   1. Review change management (what was intentionally changed recently?)
   2. Review automation schedules and logs (what automation may have caused
   changes?)
   3. Talk to people who have admin perms (who may have made a direct
   change outside of change management?)


Try not to put an employee on the defensive.  Start by being vague and
friendly since you want them to be honest and not try to hide their
tracks.  After you find out who it was; *kill them and enslave their
children to the helpdesk phone bank*.

Its been a long time since I've come across an equipment situation like this, 
but I've seen it before. When planned for, its a way to spend less on your 
equipment.  Unfortunately, sometimes
 people get caught in a situation realizing the hard-way, that they are missing

As a last resort, I'd look into somehow hacking/activating the functionality.  
Perhaps an alternate firmware can be forced on it.

Hi J-P,


 


I didnt really see a question in your initial post, but if I'm understanding 
your frustration correctly:  If there are no DHCP helper options, I dont see 
how this could work.  DHCP is a broadcast
 protocol, and needs a helper mechanism to cross networks.  I can only assume 
that this model is a lower-tiered option that is meant to be stacked with a 
higher-tiered managed switch.

Hi all,


 


I've been testing VLAN  on a GS748tv5  I emphasize v5  as netgear tends to 
create different devices and only differentiate them by the version ,  as a 
matter of fact this device does not have
 a "ip-helper, or  dhcp relay" options  (yes I know,  its old , and crappy 
anyway),




So I created vlan5 , assigned it an IP 192.168.5.1 ,   added the firewall port 
and  test pc  port to the vlan and since I have no option for ip-helper or DHCP 
relay, the PC received no ip address (and yes, I did create the DHCP scope 
192.168.5.x  on my 08r2
 server, )


 


If I give the pc a static address (i.e  192.168.5.x ) I can then successfully 
ping 192.168.5.1 , further research said to enable DHCP option 82 on the DHCP 
server;


https://www.google.com/search?q=dhcp+option+82&ie=&oe=


 


which of course doesn't exist in 08, so I tried to manually create option 82,

RE: [NTSysADM] Folder Redirection Group Policy Resetting itself?

2016-08-23 Thread Charles F Sullivan

We’ve been using Advanced Group Policy Management here for a couple of
years now. I don’t find it to be helpful most of the time, but in a case
like this, as long as the GPO in question is a “controlled” one, you would
know who did it (if anyone). Better, someone like you probably would have
had to approve their actions first.



It’s part of MDOP, which I think is only available to Software Assurance
customers. If it is available to you, you may want to look into it. You
would at least be able to tell management that you have something in place
to catch it next time. If it’s not already available to you, it’s probably
not worth sinking the money into, to be honest.



If you back up your GPOs regularly as we do, you may be able to pinpoint
the time this changed at least. May be a bit tedious though.

Its been a long time since I've come across an equipment situation like this,

I didnt really see a question in your initial post, but if I'm understanding

Hi all,



 



I've been testing VLAN  on a GS748tv5  I emphasize v5  as netgear tends to 
create different devices and only differentiate them by the version ,  as a 
matter of fact this device does not have
 a "ip-helper, or  dhcp relay" options  (yes I know,  its old , and crappy 
anyway),





So I created vlan5 , assigned it an IP 192.168.5.1 ,   added the firewall port 
and  test pc  port to the vlan and since I have no option for ip-helper or DHCP 
relay, the PC received no ip address (and yes, I did create the DHCP scope 
192.168.5.x  on my 08r2
 server, )



 



If I give the pc a static address (i.e  192.168.5.x ) I can then successfully 
ping 192.168.5.1 , further research said to enable DHCP option 82 on the DHCP 
server;



https://www.google.com/search?q=dhcp+option+82&ie=&oe=



 



which of course doesn't exist in 08, so I tried to manually create option 82, 
still no joy-



 



if anyone can share any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated



 



and before anyone asks, there is no CLI, no Shell, no Terminal on this POS 
switch

Re: [NTSysADM] core suggestions was- VLAN dhcp issue Netgear GS748Tv5

2016-08-23 Thread Kurt Buff

Any CAD or video editing, or similar high-bandwidth data movers?

If not, then most anything will work.

Do you have a personal preference for any brand? That is, are you well
experienced with a particular brand of switch, or are you relatively
inexperienced with switches?

If you have a preference, stick with it. If not, I'd suggest either HP or
Ubiquiti.

If the environment has big data movers, then check the backplane capacity
for the various switches, and you might consider Juniper as well as HP or
Ubiquiti.

I'm becoming more a fan of Juniper all the time, but they aren't much like
Cisco or HP.

Cisco would be my last resort, because of price more than anything else -
they're otherwise fine switches.

RE: [NTSysADM] Macrium Reflect Opinions anyone?

2016-08-23 Thread Mark Gottschalk

I've used it for years, but for backup imaging and not imaging new 
machines.  Been very happy with it for what I use it for (several 2012 R2 
servers and a few critical workstations).  Images can be mounted as drives 
in another system and individual files restored from any of the backups. 
Full emergency restores by booting to USB key or burned CD/DVD, which you 
create from Macrium Reflect in advance (have only done this once, with 
success, thankfully).  Backups are encrypted and compressed in my case, 
which works fine.  I've got a rotation of daily/weekly/monthly full and 
incremental backups across some NAS's and removable drives for taking 
offsite.  Makes use of OS shadow copy function to deal with open files 
during image/backup.

I have used it multiple times to clone machines to the same hardware with 
success.  Mostly for reconfiguring RAID drive arrangements or simple stuff 
like moving to a larger drive on a workstation.  It will clone to smaller 
drives if the data fits.

Reference: Macrium reflect

I have used it across my home machines (ThinkPad's, hp desktops, acer 
desktops, and an ideapad) to image to 
(and from) local drives, and to (and from) a networked 2012 server 
(dl380).

I had no issues during cloning.  Est 1 hr per 100 gig over gb backbone at 
my home, your results may vary  ;) 

CAN create a boot partition change, so the user could boot off the Macrium 
boot code to restore or boot off c drive or boot off the main os.
I found that very useful, but, it must be updated per o/s, so if you 
update from 7 (winpe3) to 10, you must update the pe to 10.
I did not test boot loader OR imaging with encryption on or enabled.
It can also back up individual partitions, and be scheduled with its built 
in scheduler.


The only issue I can (so far) see is each machine copies the drivers for 
THAT machine into the boot stick or dvd/cd.

I would imagine you can copy from one hardware stick to another, but I 
have not yet tried it.

Good luck!

Any CAD or video editing, or similar high-bandwidth data movers?

If not, then most anything will work.

Do you have a personal preference for any brand? That is, are you well 
experienced with a particular brand of switch, or are you relatively 
inexperienced with switches?

If you have a preference, stick with it. If not, I'd suggest either HP or 
Ubiquiti.

If the environment has big data movers, then check the backplane capacity for 
the various switches, and you might consider Juniper as well as HP or Ubiquiti.

I'm becoming more a fan of Juniper all the time, but they aren't much like 
Cisco or HP.

Cisco would be my last resort, because of price more than anything else - 
they're otherwise fine switches.

Its been a long time since I've come across an equipment situation like this, 
but I've seen it before. When planned for, its a way to spend less on your 
equipment.  Unfortunately, sometimes
 people get caught in a situation realizing the hard-way, that they are missing 
some expected functionality.

As a last resort, I'd look into somehow hacking/activating the functionality.  
Perhaps an alternate firmware can be forced on it.

Hi J-P,

I didnt really see a question in your initial post, but if I'm understanding 
your frustration correctly:  If there are no DHCP helper options, I dont see 
how this could work.  DHCP is a broadcast
 protocol, and needs a helper mechanism to cross networks.  I can only assume 
that this model is a lower-tiered option that is meant to be stacked with a 
higher-tiered managed switch.

I saw a similarly themed question posted here:

I'd take a hard look at a Juniper EX4300-48, but if money is a real

RE: [NTSysADM] Folder Redirection Group Policy Resetting itself?

2016-08-23 Thread Poppy Lochridge

Oh, nice thought, thank you. I don't have copies of the policy files before I 
edited them yesterday anywhere but in bare metal backup, but I do see a similar 
folder with an edit date of 8/17. Our security log doesn't go back that far, 
sadly, but that gives me at least a possible date to work from.

There's an embarrassingly long list of people who have access. I've talked to 
the most likely to have been working on the server for any reason, and not 
gotten any confirmation that they were even on the server recently. (Obviously 
SOMEONE was - or we had two policy file versions sitting around or something 
equally weird happened)

Subject:[NTSysADM] Folder Redirection Group Policy Resetting itself?


Something very weird has happened with one of my clients' servers.

In June, I configured group policy for redirected folders to store Desktop, 
Documents, and Downloads in 
\\SERVERNAME\folderredirections$\users$\USERNAME
 for about 50 users on the network.
It's not a big network, but they are cautious with resources, so rather than 
fix the FOLDER of user data that the previous IT person named "users$" - he was 
trying to make a hidden share and didn't know how - I left it as it was. The 
Folder Redirections folder is in C:\Users on the server, so I closed down the 
share on Users and fixed permissions so each user controlled their own folder, 
but no-one else could access their files.

Things were quiet-ish for the end of June and through July, redirected folders 
were working, no files disappearing, no odd permissions problems. Until 
yesterday.

Yesterday, we were notified that users were getting permissions problems trying 
to delete files from their desktop. Some people reported that they'd restarted 
and logging back in took, in some cases, hours. On a hunch, I looked at Group 
Policy.

Redirected folders policy had been changed - to something that looked like a 
vanilla, out-of-the-box setting produced by a wizard. Desktop and Documents 
were now pointing at 
\\SERVERNAME\Users\Folder 
Redirections\USERNAME. Downloads had no policy configuration set.

We're running Server 2012 R2 on this system. They've asked me to do what I can 
to prevent this from happening again - it's been rather disruptive - but this 
is a strange situation, and I'm at a loss to understand HOW this happened.

Hit me with suggestions - have you encountered a situation where group policy 
changed unexpectedly? What's your best guess for how something like this 
happens?

Re: [NTSysADM] core suggestions was- VLAN dhcp issue Netgear GS748Tv5

2016-08-23 Thread Kurt Buff

HP's command set is similar to, but much simpler than Cisco's. The web
interfaces I've found to be mildly useful. I found it easy to transition
from Cisco to HP.

Juniper's command set is a good deal different than Cisco's, and I like it
more than I do Cisco's though it can be confusing until you get used to it.
But the Juniper web site has a pretty cool Cisco-to-Juniper translator than
can help, and the web interface, especially on the newest firmware, is
pretty darn nice. Also, there are two display modes for command output on
the Juniper - one of which is something like XML (the native interface, and
I'm growing to like it), and another using "display set", which shows a
more line-oriented output, more like Cisco's output.

Ubiquiti's don't have a terribly good command line - it's just easier to
use the web interface in most cases, and I haven't had much need for the
CLI on it. Bang for buck, they're very nice.
