What is everyone's policy on backing up snapshot backups for their VM servers? Using VMware V sphere client, Currently we backup the snapshot to the default location (on the VM host), but if this Host goes down the snapshot wouldn't be available (to restore) so I`m wanting to copy this to another location What does everyone do on this Thanks

thanks for the reply, just to confirm - that's in "web chaning" \ default rule \ Action \ process requests by " retrieving them directly from the specified destination"

anyone got local proxy (ISa server) working with lightspeed?? - currently trying to change settings - I presume its the web chaning part that we have to remove? (or change?) anyone got advice on what to change?

thanks guys, setup and working great

New NM job and inherited a setup with DFS setup between our two file servers - few questions - (we are a one site campus , previously 2 site campus so I presume that was the main reason why this was setup) 1. What is the main reason you would use DFS in a school? Is is backup 2. its used for our staff, pupil and user home folder shares - the name space is setup (\\domain\namespace) but I cannot actually view the home folder share on the servers ? if I UNC into the share I can access it but when I visit the server hosting the share its not there (although the data on the drive resembles that it is?!) is this the way it is with DFS, not having really ever used it im not familiar with the way it works In previous job we didn't have dfs setup at all and never had any problems, im tempted to take it off and go for the usual \\server\users$ share

Morning, currently our setup (inherited) in AD is all the pcs/servers were in "Computers" now this is a knightmare when applying group policy as everything set for the pcs applys to the servers aswell (WSUS etc...) Now I have setup a "workstations" group for the Pcs which is working great, my question is, is it ok to have a OU For "servers"? (to put the member servers in) as well? currently there is the built in "Domain controllers" OU. How do people have there's setup? Thanks
