The part that allows me to log in  It just errors out with a generic username/password invalid error. It doesn't tell me anything else. I've tried every combination of domain/username, username@domain, etc etc I can think of to no avail.I'm going to be asking our Sr. Sysadmin about it but damnit I really wanted to do this myself

We don't virtualise where I'm at. I can't talk anyone into it. The exact quote I get for why we're not doing it is "It's job security when the executives step into the server room and are intimidated by all of the servers". We could literally virtualise our 15 physical servers into two physical machines.

As a side-note we've almost only sold SBS to our customers, which means almost all of them run SBS on a single server, which when Symantec Endpoint Protection client screws up access to/from the server means that _everything_ stops. Was a fun week to diagnose, was it hardware or software? Did the backups contain proper data or if it was a memory error, had the backups also been corrupted?.

Not sure where else to ask this but this seems as good a thread as any; anybody have any recommendations for IM software that integrates with Active Directory? Free would be preferable! Note: I for the life of me cannot get Spark/Openfire to function correctly on my server with single sign-on, so something that isn't that, would be terrific.

If your a MS Shop Office Communicator rocks, but can get pricy if your not on a big agreement with them. We have a big EA with Enterprise CALs for everyone, so we already pay for most of the crap we don't even use. Really though, I ran Spark/Openfire for 3 years authenticating against AD and had almost no issues at all. If you're trying to configure Spark for true SSO, the documentation on their site should be enough to get it working, if not I bet there's an answer somewhere in the forums.

Yeah, I've done everything to the letter on their setup guide and keep getting the same error, what I've read points to it being a keytab issue but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.

I'm going to be migrating 35 or so clients from a lovely domain to a new domain (but they have the same name) so I have to remove the machines from the domain before I add it to the old domain. In case there are some workstations hiding that I don't discover until after the fact, is there a way to force a machine to leave a domain if it can't talk to that domain?

All the authentication prompt when unjoining a workstation is for is to disable (I think) the computer account on the network. You can enter gibberish in it even if the domain is contactable and the PC will still unjoin.

I'd say lovely drivers are a reason to go virtual. Not many developers will test their application with every weird network adapter there is out there, but almost everyone will at least try to test on Hyper-V and ESXi.

At least that much, I'd also assume they have requirements for floor structure as that thing must weigh a ton. I remember touring Burtons facilities in 2004 and they got some HP san, which was ridiculously expensive back then and HP had engineers sent out to the site to make sure everything was in place before the unit was put in. Have to say, seeing a piece of gear like that back then was pretty loving jaw dropping when they explained what it could do.

Can anybody make heads or tails of the System Center 2012 release? I want SCCM 2012 whatever that is, Ops Manager, Data Protection Manager, maybe Endpoint Protection, and maybe others. From what I can tell They're all included, but you still have to choose SC 2012 Datacenter of Standard. I asked our campus software people about an upgrade, they gave me the following options: System Center 2012 Client Management Suite System Center 2012 Config Mgr Client Mgmt System Center 2012 Datacenter System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection System Center 2012 Standard None of that meshes with my understanding, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I've set up MDT a couple times over the the last 4 years, so I decided this time I would make it a challenge! Win7-32 and 64, 16 different computer models need to be supported (thankfully all Dell), 20 applications (I have "packaged" 15 of them before, but I don't have access to that previous work), but luckily no user state crap, it's for "fresh" computers only at this point in time. Can I do it in 8 working hours? Do I really just need a more challenging job instead?

Unfortunately, Dell has made it really easy to get all your drivers in a single package; it's not really a challenge. http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-driver-cab-files-for-enterprise-client-os-deployment.aspx Gumshoes, here's your challenge, create a silent install for any Adobe product.

I think the confusion on those documents comes from most of the start being about server management licences (SMLs), where most people I know (ie. those not running datacentres) are most interested in client management (MLs): Standard and Datacenter licences are for machines running server OSs you manage and cover all the available System Center 2012 components, but you're limited to controlling 2 VMs on a server with a Standard licence. The table 'Licencing Managed Clients' is what desktop people are interested in - it shows which MLs you need for which components, and which might already be included if you have Core/Enterprise CAL suites. As far as I understand, there's no cost/licence associated with the actual System Center servers themselves, including running the SQL server to host the database for SCCM 2012 as an example. I think that's correct, anyway!

Crap like that makes me happy we just buy Enterprise CAL's for the whole company. We don't really have to worry about too much of the licensing crap. Downside is we hardly use any of the stuff we actually pay for and it's expensive as hell.

How can I find the vSphere version a Windows guest is running on? I've got two different vSphere environments that people use for testing MDT deployments, 4.1 and 5. In the Task Sequence, I want to install the VMware tools, but I can't think of how I would determine what version I need to install, since WMI only returns "VMware Virtual Platform" as the model.

quackquackquack posted:How can I find the vSphere version a Windows guest is running on? VMware Tools is pulled from the host when you install/upgrade through vSphere, so the host will feed it whatever version is needed. Are you trying to push out the installer in some other way? Also, the newest Tools version is compatible with both 4.x and 5 hypervisors, so you can just stick it on the template/image.
