Life, Kids, Technology & that move to another continent
I really need to brush up on my firewall rules knowledge. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to modify a rule. Once I realized how it was setup it was trivial to fix, but that initial learning curve to remember how it was originally configured is the hard part.
When things settle down I need to sit in front of the Cisco simulator software we got and play with some ideas I have regarding new changes I want to make on our system.
I have to move entire directory tree’s from one server to another. I have to do this with keeping the NT security on the tree’s intact. We are talking about hundreds of gigs of data. I also want to copy it once, and then every day replicate only the changes we made that day out to the new server. I want to do this until I am ready to cut over to the new box completely. How do I do it, robocopy. It is a nifty tool in the Windows 2000, & 2003 resource kit.
i just wrote a batch file and put it as a scheduled task every night. it works exactly as advertised. I cut over 1 of the 6 directory tree’s I needed to last night. I will work on more this weekend if I can.
I lived through day 2 of our move of space. The cube guys did an awesome job. Now people have to realize I am not an interior decorator and stop asking me for filling cabinets and shelves. I really don’t care about them, or if you get them. You should all know me by now!
We had some minor electrical and cabling issues. The electrical is all better now. The cabling we came up with a creative way to solve the problem.
Today is the day we move everyone to their new spots. I want to get computers moved and phones working. I just have to get 15+ people where they are supposed to be. At least the portable AC’s are now up and ready for use. they should be on today if it is humid.
