2003 child domain
by Dave 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hello, I'm running server 2003 in a vmware environment. I've got two servers, one primary running dhcp, dns, wins, rras, etc. It is acting as the master for a test domain i'll call it example.com. I want now to add in a child domain called for example purposes child.example.com on the second server. I run dcpromo on the box and it completes successfully, yet i'm getting slowness when the two machines are talking to each other, they are on the same subnet. I'm not sure if i'm dealing with a replication or dns issue or something else. For example, i create a user on the second server then from an xp client try to log on as that user, selecting the child.example.com as the logon to. My issue is it takes about three minutes or longer to find the user and log on. In another example i've created a global group on the child domain, and am wanting to add it to the domain local on the primary so that those users can access shared folders, this is not working at all. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

accessible windows pre-execution environment
by Dave 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hello, I'm trying to clean off a laptop that has been infected with a trojan. It's an xp machine, and the trojan has replaced the lsass.exe program along with another .dll file in the windows\system32 directory. I was wondering if anyone had either an accessible copy of WinPE or BartPE environment or a way i could make it work with speech? Or, any other alternatives, a reinstall is not an option for this situation. Thanks. Dave.

You can add a driver directory to the Bart PE environment. If I can find a USB headset. I will try to make an disk image. Angelo Sonnesso M.A. M.S.

The only thing I would try is to get an accessible Speakup disk from somewhere and boot off that, but you would be issuing commands in Linux. Someone a while back gave me a Windows 98 disk with NTFS support on the disk (this was sort of not fully legit), but I did think if this could work, and we could either get a dos screen reader or JFW installed in that environment with software speech, it would be very nice. However, it didn't come with any sound drivers enabled out of the box, so it would have to be customised for the PC you were using it with.

Add NIC and Drive Controller support for virtually every piece of hardware under the sun to your BartPE CD, here's how: First, get the latest collection of drivers from the DriverPacks project.(http://www.driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/) Download the LAN DriverPack and unpack it into the Drivers\Net folder in your PEBuilder directory. Download the MassStorage Driverack and unpack it into the Drivers\SCSI folder in your PEBuilder directory. There are a few drivers that have .inf files with quirks that cause errors and warnings when building your disk. To fix the issues, find the folders that seem to have missing files buy browsing the error log. Most of the missing file errors can be corrected by making a copy of a file already in the driver directory and renaming it. (For example, there are numerous instances looking for bdco1ins.dll and the actual file is named bdco1.dll.) The remaining missing files are ide/atapi related and can be fixed by copying files from your windows\system32\drivers directory, or extracting them from cabs. Once completed, PEBuilder will automatically incorporate all of these drivers into your build, giving access to virtually all hardware in existence! Well I will let you know I will get to it this weekend. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:03 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] accessible windows pre-execution environment Hi: Does Bart PE use Windows PE as its core OS or is it really making a bootable Windows XP? If the latter then I don't see why you couldn't incorporate any sound driver that works with XP. I've heard rumors that someone managed to make a bootable Windows XP using Windows XP Embeded, a version of Windows XP used in set top boxes and the like, and managed to get full sound and speech working on that. I didn't learn anymore, and I have no clue how one gets their hands on Windows XP Embeded. I have MSDN and just don't see it listed there as available to download. I'd be very interested in such a talking bootable environment as well, a lot of tools are moving or have moved from dos boot disks to Windows PE boot disks. I've used GRML, and its certainly usable for what it does, but for a primarily Windows environment having Windows tools would be nice.

With some sort of USB sound integrated in, something like NVDA would probably work--at least that is my pipe dream.

vmware overview
by John G. Heim 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

My department bought 2 Sun servers and an ISCSI array. We've installed esx on both machines nad set up a 3rd machine as a vmwarevirtual center server. What next? My opinion is that we would want to set up a cluster and install Solaris on the cluster. But my co-worker has already installed solaris as a virtual machine on one of the Sun servers. Doesn't that mean we have lost the flexability we'd get from having a cluster?

help and support and runas with jfw9?
by Dave 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hello, Using jfw9, and wondering if there any shortcuts or hints with help and support center? To me it doesn't seem very intuitive. It seems as if you have to tab or f6 through it. Any hints? Also, runas, for example logging on to a domain using jfw as a standard user, and than needing to perform an administrative task, computer management comes to mind. Using runas with jfw works, but it's weird, it's like there's a focus issue, is anyone else seeing this? For example, sometimes you have to read the current line and it's read, but jfw won't read it automatically? Thanks. Dave.
