jfw/zoomtext and vpn
by Philip 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I hope someone can shed some light on a potential problem I am shortly going to run into. We are currently running a fileserver that holds user home folders as well as shared documents. The server also hosts the license servers for jfw and zoomtext along with some other similar license servers. unfortunately, it was originally purchased with only 1 hard drive which is running out of space. The server is also almost 4 years old. The server is our primary domain controller, dns server, and vpn server. We recently purchased a new server, with raid 5 disks, more ram, more processors and the like. I have set it up to take over some of the functions of the older server. I want to transfer the roll of file server to it and transfer the vpn roll over to it as well. I believe all I have to do is change the port forwarding within our router to forward port 1723 to the new server. The question is though, if I do this, how will the client computers still be able to access the license servers on the old server. in other words, client computers will access their files on the new server via a vpn connection, but if so, I assume they will no longer be able to receive a license authorization from (say jfw license server) from the old server. I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I also am hoping that I don't have to move the license servers to the new server if at all possible. Many thanks. Phil

Windows 7 Copy Oddity-Possibly seen in Vista as well?
by Barry Toner 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

I am attempting to copy a data backup from a USB SATTA Caddy to a USB Caddy drive. Using Windows 7 and Windows Explorer the copy calculates the source size and targets free space then gives me a dialog with try Again and Cancel claiming there's not enough free space on the drive to perform the copy. I need to free up about 80GB or so on the target. There's no options for replace files whilst copying in this instance it seems. NB. The source is a few gig smaller than the target's overall directory and the targets volume has 146GB free. My next step was installed Windows Resource Kits Tools with the intention of using robocopy. The installer did warn me of known conflicts but I thought, push on and see. When i try and execute robocopy it generates a bunch of on-screen garbage and lands me back in the c:\program files\windows resource kits\tools directory. I don't want to delete the target because it has some newer files than the source. However, one way i could work round it is copy the target to the source, delete the target then copy the source to what was the target, it seems very long-winded and wil take probably an additional six hours because this is USB to USB, both powered and USB 2.0, but still will take a while. Any suggestions for an alternative? I could probably use rsync, but don't want to drag this out as I'd have to read-up on it's syntax as it's been a few years. Thanks, Barry. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3957 (20090324) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com

text editor that handles multiple line edits
by Dave 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hello, I'm not sure if the subject is entirely accurate, but i'm looking for a new Windows text editor something with notepad's speed but with multiple line editing, a mark ability or a search and replace. For example, I've got a document converted from a word doc, with the original source unavailable, that has headers and footers in it. I want to strip those out. I was thinking of marking text then deleting everything between the marks, or a multiple line search and replace. Suggestions for an editor welcome. Thanks. Dave.

packaging virtual machines
by rick watson 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Good morning list, I have a vm that was created using virtual server. Does anyone know if it is possible to package this machine up for distribution to other people. I realize that one could simply copy all of the files, but this seems rather a large bit of data. Thanks Rick

by Andrew Hodgson 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hi, It looks like the new JFW 10.1 will support Windows Server 2008 64-bit. Anyone got any kit to try this on? My systems are all virtual and I don't have a remote desktop license. Thanks. Andrew.
