I’ll have to give this a try at work this week. I’ll just have to find an old notebook.
It is always important to know what is going on in your network. And, from time to time, you should perform a simple audit of your network just to determine what is exactly happening.
This is something that I do on a regular basis using an inexpensive network auditor that I built. (Actually, all I did was install a custom Linux distribution designed for security.)
What You Need
Here are all the tools that you need
- An old laptop (if you want it to be portable) or desktop
- BackTrack Linux Distribution
It?s pretty easy to find a computer that will work and BackTrack is available for free as an ISO. This is something that probably everyone could do with what they have available.

Here’s another free tool that supports vista to mount ISO files..
Many a times when you download software you will get it as a ISO or a CD image file formats which are just a image of the actual CD drive. An ISO file needs to be burned on a CD or DVD so that you can use or install the software.
For those who do not have a CD / DVD burner this may cause a lot of problems as those files will be rendered as useless.
If you are one of those who do not have a CD / DVD burner or do not want to burn the image on a CD / DVD but still want to make those use the files inside the image you can do that with the help of MagicDisc.
MagicDisc Virual CD/DVD-ROM is a freeware that allows you to mount ISO files as a virtual CD or DVD drive.

I don’t watch many vlog’s, but a quick 5 minutes with morgan works for me.
Thanks to Gedeon for the tip, and I agree: Amanda Congdon is rather smug.

I’ve tried Google Apps and I wasn’t overly impressed. To me one of the biggest missing pieces was alerts when the document changed. Maybe one of these other products could fit the bill.

We got the mpls connection and switch setup and running with very little issue. Other than not all the routes where setup. But we could at least get back to the root of the forest.
We still have to get the riverbed setup, its currently not working at any of our sites. The guys back in GH are going to get the interforest trust setup for us tonight and the routing fixed. So we should be ready to start migrating users, creating mailboxes and using Altiris to reinstall the workstations tomorrow.
We have some issues backing up the workstations. We are suing zipbackup to a NAS box. I’m concerned that we might miss data, because we are only backing up documents and settings and any other folder the user tells us about. We’ll see I told the IT guy in Shanghai that any missed data is on him.
We had a long day (in the office until 7pm) then went to dinner. Some of the food was good, some ok, and a few things where yuck. But I tried most everything.
I’m dead tired, time for bed.

On the Sysinternals page over at Microsoft, there’s a new tool called Active Directory Explorer. You could describe it as ADSIEDIT on steroids. An interesting feature is the ability to save snapshots of Active Directory and compare them. A similar snapshot feature will also be part of Windows Server 2008. A nice overview of the Windows Server 2008 snapshot feature can be found here.

After reading this article is sounds likes like using the datacenter version of windows is the cheapest method using ESX. As I read it you can license one copy of datacenter and run as many VM’s as you want on that machine, including on ESX…..anyone else read this the same way?
Finally Microsoft takes a clear and official position about application of Windows licensing on virtual machines hosted on 3rd party virtualization platforms (including hardware virtualization solutions like VMware ESX Server or VMware Server and OS virtualization solutions like SWsoft Virtuozzo).
In a brand new whitepaper Microsoft covers all these scenarios, including special features like VMware VMotion and client-side licensing terms, detailing:
