[THIN] Re: Disk space utilities

I know you are looking for a reporting utility but for quick and dirty view I love Sequoiaview which is a free utility that gives you a colored grapical treemap of the drive. The bigger the square the bigger the file. You can then right click on the square and get properties of the file and it will tell you when it was last accessed.  This will at least help you get the larger files off your drive in an expedient manner.

Check it out at:

[THIN] IPSEC Goofiness

When one of our Citrix servers rebooted overnight, it did not come back. The admin team determined that it was some kind of network problem. They could log in via the remote insight board but only as the local Administrator. Domain logins failed with a message that it couldn’t find the domain. It could not successfully ping its own default gateway. During a reboot, it responded to four pings and then went dead. They checked with the network team and everything looked fine from the switch side. Finally, they noticed that the IPSEC service was not listed as running and it could not be started.

 

Setting IPSEC to “Disabled” and rebooting brought the server back to life but the Citrix IMA service could no longer run. Attempting to start IPSEC immediately stopped all network traffic again.

 

Apparently, the local IPSEC policy can become corrupted. When this happens, the machine can’t determine who is safe to talk to so it completely shuts off communications. Luckily, we found the following web page that showed how to fix a corrupted policy.

[THIN] What do you use to check windows account password age, compliance, last used etc.

I am familiar with MS built in command line tools to check password age etc on accounts but was wondering if people use any other third party (free ones maybe?) utilities that can output quickly a users password age, (last time it was changed), when the account was last accessed etc in AD.

[THIN] Re: OT: My latest blog posting which I made a point to send to Ballmer and friends via email.

We have zero Vista machines and never will, I tried one, Ultimate Business version, does not play nice with our AD network, come one guys, you both came from the same company, but no, they refused to get along, so bye-bye vista, and sorry, we have one Mac in Marketing, and no more of them either, don’t get me wrong, I like Mac well enough, I own one, but integrating in an AD environment, what a pain. I am testing the waters with Ubuntu and Susi’s latest offerings with cross-over and running MS Office. I think a lot of what Redmond does is great, they just seem to fall short too many times in the OS arena.

Here is my one sorta off topic post in a long time. JK

I'd love to here comments and discussion. Either here or on my blog. Am I wrong? And remember this isn't a RANT this is an OPINION.

OPINION: It is time for Microsoft to start making nice with competing software vendors if they want to sell Vista. Save your $300 Million!

http://kenzig.blogspot.com/2008/08/opinion-it-is-time-for-microsoft-to.html

This is my Opinion and does not reflect those of any of my employers. I have never been a Microsoft Basher (in fact I am probably one of their biggest champions over the last 25 years) But I am really fed up with the hype and also the infighting between Microsoft and other competing computer companies and this isn't going to sell me Vista. And since my MVP status was taken away I'm not going to hold back anymore. (not that I did when I was an MVP which is probably why they didn't pick me up again in the first place LOL)

NEWSFLASH TO MICROSOFT: Jerry Seinfield isn't going to help you sell more Vista licenses to Enterprises no matter how much you pay him. (and it is $10 million for those who care.) It is very funny to poke fun at other vendors, but I hate to tell you that Apple is spot on with most of it's Mac and PC commercials when it comes to the Enterprise.

I have been trying to roll out 700 Vista machines in our enterprise since last July (2007!) and at every corner I arrive at a new STOP sign that prevents me from doing it. Our organization requires several plugins and pieces of software from many vendors. These vendors deem their software Vista compatible but in reality they are only Vista compatible if the user is local and not on a domain or is an administrator.

And some of these programs, whether you turn off UAC, tell them to always run as administrator, put them in compatibility mode or whatever, still crash hard as soon as the user account is made a mandatory or roaming profile.

Companies like Adobe, Sun, ADP, Altiris, Symantec seem not to really care whether their software is fully compatible with Vista. I've had issues with every one of these companies getting one of their products to work on Microsofts Darling new OS.

Countless hours of my time have been wasted attempting to circumvent Vista's built in "security" just to get simple core applications (like Adobe Reader 9) to work in a domain environment. Sun only certifies the latest versions of Java to work with Vista and ADP whom refuses to update their applications like eTime to run properly with the latest version for example refuse to play. Time keeping is a critical thing here as our employees like to get paid.

There is a wonderful open source IM application that we are going to use called Spark to provide support to our customers. Worked fine for local user accounts but as soon as you put it into a roaming profile, bam, for some reason now you have to be an administrator to run it. Same for Adobe Acrobat 9 and countless other programs.

Every program has had a different solution in trying to get it to run in an enterprise environment on Vista. I really doubt that Microsoft used a domain with mandatory roaming profiles to the user in it's so called Mojave experiment. If they did the users would not be saying how great it was.

Dammit Microsoft! I really want Vista to work and to give it to my users. I really do. I know it isn't your fault that OTHER vendors can't get their software written correctly to adhere to your stringent security requirements but it SHOULD be your responsibility to ENGAGE them and assist them in getting it to work. These are not small companies I am talking about and yes most have competing products to your offerings. But bringing on the Borg attitude is not going to win you any customers and comedy is not going to make it any easier for them to deploy Vista.

Right now the Adobe problem is a project killer for us. Windows XP is looking mighty fine.

MY ADVICE TO MICROSOFT?
Save your $300 million advertising dollars and go out and use it to send a couple of code gurus around to these companies and get them to help get their code to work! You could spend half the money, donate the other half to charity and sell 10 times more product cause it would WORK!

No, PVS uses a protocol called BXP which is block level protocol like iSCSI except it is approximately 4x faster than iSCSI.   ICA is a remoting protocol and not a streaming protocol.

Pardon my ignorance, but does Provisioning Server use ICA to deliver the OS and apps?

My guess is NOT, because from reading the description it says that app. processing takes place at the desktop.

 

We'd like to use diskless PCs and deliver the OS and apps via the network.

 

Our experience with ICA has been that is slow for real-time apps.

Just received the following notification from Citrix
Provisioning Server 5.0 (Project Charles) has officially been released to web (RTW)!

 What does this mean:

ü  Existing PVS customers can download Provisioning Server 5.0 as of today (as a Benefit of Subscription Advantage).

 

ü  All net-new customers will not be able to directly purchase Provisioning Server 5.0 until September 1, 2008.  This is when the new Media Kit SKUs are available for sale.

 

ü  If a new or existing customer purchases Provisioning Server today, they will receive Provisioning Server 4.5 SP1 as part of the original order, but will also have the ability to download Provisioning Server 5.0 via their MyCitrix account.

[THIN] Re: OT - VM sizing for testing

I think the main point is that virtualization does not change resource
requirements. That is often missed in the "irrational exuberance" around
consolidation. Hardware virtualization requires the same exact resources as
the corresponding physical servers.

This starts to change with things like OS virtualization, but in the
hypervisor world you can share hardware, but you still need to make
available the same resources....

Isn't 1069 a logon failure?  I assume you mean the "Citrix Streaming Service" is not starting. Maybe the password to this ctx_streamingSvc account was changed. Try resetting this password and setting the new password in the services.msc console for the Citrix Streaming Service.

 

If that fails and to see/confirm if its a permissions error you can try set the service to Local System and see if it starts from that.

[THIN] Re: OT - VM sizing for testing

I think your question is far to open ended. It depends on the OS and
what applications are running on the OS, and where the applications are
installed. Where is data being kept? In the VM, on a NAS/SAN,etc.? I
have VMware servers on Win 2000 Server Standard with 10 gigs. Those
VM's are never intended to be upgraded to Windows 2003 or higher, so 10
gigs leaves me with about 4.5-5 gigs free. All they do is run IIS 5.0.
10 gigs doesn't get you very far with Windows 2003 Standard on just a
base install alone, and if you want to in-place upgrade to 2008, forget
about it. I install heavy apps on a separate VMDK, so the boot disk
doesn't need to be overly large. Things like logging can be redirected
to additional disks. That means a boot partition disk can stay small,
but a "data/app" partition disk can be big.

IMO, One of the beautiful things about VM's is the disks can be expanded
if they are simple partitions. If it's a non-boot disk, it's really
easy. Shut down the VM, expand it with vmkfstools (you can even do it
in VI Client under ESX 3.5.x) and then boot the VM and run expand on it.
On a boot disk, you need to attach the disk to a secondary VM to expand
it, because you can't expand a boot volume once booted from it. I've
done this dozens of times without issue. There's always the risk of
losing the disk/partition however.

FWIW, My standard VM boot partition for Windows 2003 Standard Is
30-40gigs. Doesn't matter what I'm actually running. That yields me
plenty of free space to keep hotfix/server pack uninstalls as well as
future room for upgrades to Windows 2008. All my Server VM's have at
least one secondary partition as a second virtual disk file. All my XP
client VM's are usually 15gigs, but nothing really runs on them except
the OS and office apps. All data is elsewhere on the network.

PS - 2 of my most active VM's run separate Windows 2003 SBS environments
on ESX 3.5. Two 40gig boot disks, and two 120 gig data disks. No
performance issues related to I/O.

Please then Joe, (you are thinking exactly as I was).

What is your take on a small, medium, or large virtual disk?
(consider theat they must be large enough to be considered usable)

I will even entertain two classes: Servers, and VDI targets (I am
sure you all understand what I mean)

And that is what I am trying to say. You can easily get away with a 10 gig
drive for Windows XP but it will be way too small for Vista. Then you have
to consider what's going to be installed? Office? Applications like the
Adobe CS3 suite or Visual Suites can chew up a lot of disk space really
fast.

I have an off-topic question for the wisdom of the list.

I have been charged with performance testing some actions regarding
virtual machines.

I was wondering if those of you who are consulting or are willing to
speak up, could give me your impressions on.

What would you consider a 'small', 'medium', and 'large' sized virtual disk?

I know that many enterprises are virtualizing for many reasons, and my
history tought me to make a virtual disk as small as possible. But
practice may be, and may have changed. So I was curious what your
experiences have been and what the losw to high range might be on the
size of a virtual disk.

Thanks all in advance!
