i do like the job i just wish the nm isnt all ways looking over my sholder i feel like hes watching me like i want to do an audit on all the switchs and see what version they are on and maybe update them. i started today getting list of all the switchs but then he came in so i minimized the window cus i know if he asks me im going to have to tell him. and i know what he will say NO dont need to if its not broken dont fix it, thats his attiude to pritty much everything. but like i say i've got an interview next week at a dolls house company in ripely but i just feel if i go to the interview and get the job and the company goes bust even though its been going for 29 years. im stuffed lol and plus their is the 6 months test thing (making sure you fit in) i dunno...sorry just on another rant i feel this is the only place to get stuff of my chest:bored:

@timbo343 that is crazy why wont they just move his post to vle manager or somthing who do ppl go to when they have a problem ur self or 2 ur nm

lol thats kool im a tec we have 14 servers 1400 + pupils alot of staff lol 30 promeathen boards whole site on wireless been here 2 years, just on under 17k with 2 other techs the guy who is nm now i was under and i thought i would of get promo but never did when i completed my mcsa course and done 2 exams and i asked for a pay increase they said no their is no money and said im on the max what ever that means. and i just feel like im in a rut my personaly i dont feel like my nm is that good at his job being as me and another tech told him that our ris server is very unstable and then it died that day which was yeasterday and along went 20 images all which take about a day to do as well as doingother jobs. i have more experince that the 2 other tecs and dont feel apricated for it. sorry just on rant

have you shared the folder

the pupils all use the same mandantry profile. but for some reason their have been cases were a pupil logs on to a computer and their profile dont load but all of their mapped networked drives are correct but just the desktop. this only happens a few times but is abit annoying any ideas

sorry yes i ment ms publisher their has been some kb artical on ms website about using norton and how it some how modifes the document and then making it unable to open but i dont think this is the case for us. we are using sharepoint 2003 soon to be 2007 when they click the link in the share point it opens up their N drive in a web folder.

has any one ever came across this when pupil working on a publisher document on the vle for some reason its not saving correctly its happening for alot of pupils

so if you set up 2 vlans say 1 = switchs ( goes to hard wired computers ) and vlan2 for all switchs with are assiciated with an AP you would setup 2 scopes 1 for vlan1 which is for computers and a second scope for vlan2 which would be for laptops

so if i create a vender class say wireless and desktop and i made 2 different ip ranges for 2 different different subets. yea DHCP will check the name of the client vender and depending on what its it will assing the right ip address to the right vender sorry if i seem just got into work and im not with it at the moment i feel like i dont get paid enuff to come into work when its holiday time for schools

why is that ? what do you mean

i just seen somthing on our dhcp server their is a thing called server bindings i take guess you select which network card you would want to use for each scope yea ?

i've never used vlans before only see 1 guy set them up and he was a bit of a pro...so how would you configure a dhcp scope to bind to a network card so it knows or like you say configure the scope to lease the address for you but to me that wouldnt make sense and pointless as you want the dhcp server to do it for you

:mad:their is a question i came across which i understand but i dont understand how it would happen this is the question You are the system administrator for a large enterprise. You have five servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 1,500 client computers on the in-house network. You also have 250 users who connect their laptop computers wirelessly to the Internet through your network. The laptop users are salespeople who are only in the office for a brief time. The laptop computers have computer names and are set up to be members of a domain on the network. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service has been installed on one of the servers. All computers will be configured to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. You are configuring the DHCP server to lease IP addresses to the laptop computers and in-house computers. You need to maximize the performance of your DHCP service. i under stand about creating 2 subetnets for inhouse computers and but i dont understand about how the laptops would connect to the subetnet you created for the laptops and use that address range unless you made it static but what would be the point in that this is the explaination of the it By setting up a scope for the laptop computers and a separate scope for the in-house client computers, you will be able to set different lease durations for laptop and in-house computers. Since the laptop computers are not part of the network for very long periods of time, you should make their IP address lease durations short. That way, IP addresses and system resources are freed up. You can ensure that the laptop computers receive addresses from the correct scope by creating a separate subnet to which the laptop computers connect and defining the DHCP scope for the laptop computers with addresses that are valid for this subnet. The default value for client computer address lease duration is eight days. This value is desirable for computers that are stationary on the network (in-house computers). This reduces the number of DHCP requests and results in lower network utilization. The value of two days is too short for IP address lease duration for the in-house computers. An IP address lease duration of two days is desirable for the laptop computers that are connecting wirelessly. Since there could be many different laptop computers connecting over time, you will need a larger number of IP addresses available for assignment. By setting the lease duration to a low value, IP addresses can be reused more frequently. Lower lease durations are also desirable for client computers that are connecting through Remote Access.

ttp { upstream website { server uk.kevinlane.com weight=3; server us.kevinlane.com; server hk.kevinlane.com; would all point too server server uk.kevinlane.com weight=3; server us.kevinlane.com; server hk.kevinlane.com;

humm that looks a bit confuzzling lol am i right in saying that http { upstream myproject { server 127.0.0.1:8000 weight=3; server 127.0.0.1:8001; server 127.0.0.1:8002; server 127.0.0.1:8003; am i right in saying that these would be different servers in my forest around the world (obs) propper ips but why a different port what does this mean server { listen 80; server_name http://www.domain.com; location / { proxy_pass http://myproject; } } } this dont tell me alot could you please elaborate

hummm you do mean the host A records ? and www records in dns or am i wrong and its just the a record. ping not sure about that either

i understand about the NLB but i mean though if i had a web site (big company) and servers in different countrys no NLB and i had 1 server in usa 1 in uk and 1 in hong kong (i know this sounds mad) all part of the same forest but i just wanted to site split over 3 servers how would that work i know im getting pritty deep but be nice to know

how would you do it with round robin also i've been told you can add multipule A host records and do it that way as well

im going for my next exam the 70-291 i've done the other 2. their is a question i came across on my prep exam about a "web site hosted on 3 different servers" now how does this work i know it might sound stupid but just somthing i'd like to learn incase i ever need to do it and this would be live on the internet

cheers thanks it will save me alot of time if i can get this to work

cheers have downloaded the program and trying to run it but, i dont think it likes me lol i dont know if it supports automatic login and i've tried my user name and pass but dont seem to be working any other ideas

We use calendars for the room bookings. We use nova t4 I print of the rooms and then in outlook i enter the data for the rooms by week A or week B And then set the end date to what it needs to be. But is their any way of exporting this information out of nova t4 and importing this into the calendar thanks

well i guess i dont want to be doing that....but thats weird you should say that becasue i seen our backup server a have an ip conflict the other day. i told my boss and he said dont worrie about it. i was bit :s i mean i know what they are but still that shouldnt be happening on a backup server. im going for my next exam 70-291 and im still finding it hard to understand about subnets nvm so what should i be looking out over the next week or so if this problem still goes on more network connectiviy problems ? on our other server we have 176 ip address left. i think im going to have to do some reading tonight thanks

strange... we do have lease time that should release ip address each morning so we have more ggrrr i dunno. its just weird becasue i've noticed this problem the other day and i went down to sort a problem with a laptop which keeps d/c today from the network and it has like an ip address of 10.25.8.247 what happens if i delete all of the address lease in dhcp

we have 2 servers which do dhcp which control our 10.25.8.0 scope our lease address range from 10.25.8.0 - 10.25.11.254 (council network attached) im not sure how this works but on 1 of our servers we are running out of dhcp address quite fast. am i right in saying if a client askes the dhcp and then dhcp says no shouldnt the dhcp pass this on to the next dhcp server also how would i know if we have a dhcp relay server. i wasnt really involved with the setup i just feel somthing bads going to happen and i feel like this is the start of somthing
