I believe its better for create VLANS based on devices not rooms, I did this at my place: VLANS: CLIENTS (WIRED) CLIENTS (WIRELESS) CASHLESS (CANTEEN SYSTEM) VOIP (PHONE SYSTEM) PRT (PRINTERS) MGMT (SWITCHES) VID (IP TV SYSTEM) SVR (Servers) We have a nice layer 3 HP ProCurve Switch 5406zl (J8697A) core.

Installed on 4 Servers, 1 Desktop and 1 Laptop so far, all installed fine but takes a while.

I wrote a VB script which takes a list of computer names from a text file which shuts all workstations down at 21:00, just create a task in schedule - if you want a copy let me know.

I've just done 1 server with SP1 and installed fine.

No you wont.

Very Nice! but I wish!

where u off too man!

We dont have much cable management in the cabs are we have very short patch cables, got a company who makes them for us, looks alot better than longgggg cables stuck down the side etc.

I've always used Viso, just done an entire building with visio creating the cab layouts.

I've got a HP ProCurve 1810G last year brand new and not had any problems, I always update to the latest firmware\software on the switches, have you done this? I also run HP in the work place, love the stuff!

We changed all our switches out last year from a mix of 3Com and some horrible unmanaged switches to full HP ProCurve switches and implemented VLAN's, mix of 2910al, 2510G, 2610, 2510 and we brought a core HP PROCURVE 5406ZL - everything runs so much better now, in the core I have 2 fibre modules and 2 copper modules.

Someone has been offered it I found out today.

I don't think they did to be honest, I was very surprised we didn't find anyone with the pay!

I used to have a web site on freeserve...........back in the day

In my last place the previous NM was backing up too a 1Tb USB 2.0 disk and backups were failing, overrunning, taking about 100+ hours..........binned it got a tape drive and got the backup down too 8 hours. I also implemented a Backup2Disk which ran after the tape to a couple of SAS disks. As above I bet its the USB disk, would never backup hundred and hundred of gigs to a USB disk on a large network.

look at the job logs and it will tell you where things are taking long. How does your backup operate atm, does it backup direct to the USB drive?

Saw this the other week, 5mins down the road from me.

I've always gone for VMWare, I have done a couple of installs of Hyper-V (installing on bare metal systems)

"Just A Bunch Of Disks" (JBOD)

Apply go for it.

I would have to ask the correct person, I don't see why not.
