I need to capture w32time events to a text file for a silly compliance requirement. Is there a way to that in Windows?
We currently have 2 DS1 lines in a multilink configuration delivering 3mbits. It works well, but we could certainly benefit from more bandwidth. As I was talking to our sales rep at XO communications, they mentioned something called 'ethernet over copper'.
Does anyone have any expereince with this technology. How is it in terms of SLA, uptime, reliability etc.
I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 server and yesterday it died. It seems like motherboard is the culprit.
I'm trying to get a replacement now, but that is where it gets a little bit confusing. If I enter my service tag into Dell Parts Search engine, it gives me a choice of at least 3 motherboard part numbers: Dell Part# HH715, Dell Part# HH719, Dell Part# T7916. On ebay, where I'm planning on buying the replacement MoBo, there's even more variations. I looked at the motherboard itself and I can't seem to find any model number like that on it.
Is there a way to find out motherboard model number? Or should I just get any of the MB models that Dell offers?
We currently have 2 file servers in one location and one at a remote office. There's approximately 50Gb of data that is replicated via DFS and is also backed up daily to the disk and monthly to a REV drive. This strategy has proven to work pretty well. And in case one server fails catastrophically, the data will be available on two other servers immediately.
All 3 servers are also set as PDC, so in case one of them fails, there still should be 2 of them left standing.
However, the fact that OSs on the servers are not backed up, kind of bothers me. My plan is to get a relatively cheap(under 2k) 4Tb NAS and backup the whole servers weekly. Or does it make more sense to backup data and systems separately? What is your backup strategy?
