"If you have client computers that do not require the central deployment and management features of Forefront Endpoint Protection server, and you intend to manually install the Forefront Endpoint Protection client, the Configuration Manager prerequisites stated for client computers are not required."
If you're using products from one company (Novell) that *aren't* open source, then what's wrong with using products from another company (Microsoft) that aren't open source?
Moonbase Alpha? Is that supposed to be the latest version of software that NASA used to fake the moon landings? Geez, you'd think they'd be up to Moonbase Beta by now..
Have you heard of Groupwise 7? It's possibly the worst version of Groupwise ever released, in terms of product quality, and it's biggest new feature (Outlook connector) only makes it easier to switch to using Microsoft's products. It's almost like they want that product to die.
Sadly, sales of Gamecubes this holiday season will probably put them in the lead for total # of consoles sold. Microsoft and Sony grossly underestimated demand for their Xbox/PS2, whereas Nintendo has has kept pumping out tons of Gamecube bundles. Seriously, are parents going to go home empty-handed for their kids this Xmas? I think not. Kudos to Nintendo for doing something right understanding the concept of supply and demand.
If you are using this mentality, then YES, Spyware/Adware is probably kicking your ass right now. Stupidest mentality EVER. Can't believe techs still use it.
McAfee (for over a year) and Symantec (last month) ARE detecting spyware/adware in their Corporate products. Where have you been? Still running software from more than a year ago? Now THAT is the fault of too many people. Too many people have the "Ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, and then they get hit by these kinds of things (security vulnerabilities, spyware/adware, etc).
Symantec was REALLY bullheaded about adding expanded threat detection to their Corporate products like SAV. "Go buy Symantec Client Security", they said. BS. Now look what they did under pressure (prob cuz McAfee VS Enterprise one-up'd them for over a year): SAV 9.0 can detect "expanded threats" just like their HOME product (NAV 2004) has been able to do for over 7 months. Too bad it doesn't detect expanded threats realtime (only via full/scheduled scans).
YES SAV 9.0 was released April 12 and I know several customers have it already. It's already available on Warez sites.
It took Symantec long enuf! It still sucks because it doesn't detect "expanded threats" unless you do a full/scheduled scan (i.e. realtime on-access scanner will not detect them).
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise has been able to detect spyware/adware and other "unwanted programs" for over a year.
Furthermore, WTF!! Why didn't Symantec's CORPORATE product have the ability to detect this stuff before or at the same time as their HOME product? NAV2004 has had "expanded threat" detection since its release in Sept 2003.
We realized this over a year ago. It's about time AV vendors stepped up to the plate to help eliminate this junk. It's embarrassing that some products such as Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition could do -nothing- about these new threats until their recent 9.0 release. In contrast, McAfee's VirusScan Enterprise has been able to detect "unwanted programs" since their 7.0 release over 1 year ago (April 2003). I think Symantec's stance was something like: "it's not anti-threat, it's anti-virus! Go buy Symantec Client Security". Total BS. Their consumer Norton Antivirus 2004 product was better than their corporate product!
Gigabit on the desktop is probably helping workstation and network admins more than anyone. When you think about it, 100Mb/s is a huge bottleneck for today's hard drives. We live in the day of commonplace ATA100/133 hard drive transfer rates. 12.5MB/s (equivalent to 100Mb/s) just doesn't cut it when it comes to doing major OS and application service packs, or unattended OS installs (take the 1 gigabyte Windows XP install, for example). Even with gigabit ethernet (equiv. to 125MB/s), there is still a bottleneck with today's fastest ATA133 IDE drives and Ultra160/320 SCSI drives. Thank goodness the 10-gigabit standard was recently approved.
there are supposed to be "hot new ldap features" eDirectory 8.7, "including ACL support using LDAP, LDAP extension for events, Persistent search, Dynamic Groups, Extensible Match, Start TLS, and SASL support for more authentication options."
This info is from http://www.novellbrainshare.com/portal/eventguide/ sessions.jsp. It's under the session info for session IO307.
There was a study done 2 years ago (http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/2000/02/ pr00026.html) comparing Active Directory, eDirectory, and iPlanet. eDirectory was the best performer. At that time, eDirectory was at version 8.0. There have been 2 major releases since then. 8.5 came out summer of 2000, and 8.6 came out when Netware 6 was released. I assume things have only gotten better.

Nope, a quick Google found this:

What that statement means is that the XP Mode VM must be SP3.
Yes, it is the same KB that was leaked back around January, KB977206.

This probably goes without saying, but the IE9 preview does not install on Windows XP.
Groupwise?
Are you kidding?

The old system was working! But, they didn't follow the rule, and look what happened!

Looks like there are firmware updates to -prevent- the problem, but if you've ran the drive too hard for too long, it may be too late.
