Spiceworks & Umit.. Hmm..
Posted in General, tagged General on 24 November 2010| Leave a Comment »
Spiceworks. is a web interface kind of a network management system which allows me to monitor everything on my network.. this free thing can check active directory including a range of IP addresses that determines devices’ status (on/off), it’ll detect its server role and put in nicely in a summary called “inventory summary”.. some of the ports that’s being used to detect and scan machines are: 135 (WMI, used to detect windows comps), 22 (SSH, detect unix like comps and some network devices), 16992 (Intel AMT SOAP/HTTP), 9100 (Jet direct – for printers), 5060 (SIP ip phones), 80 (HTTP, detect servers, vmware, NAS, switches, hubs, etc (provided the port is enabled)). 161 (SNMP – detect network devices as well), 5800 (VNC HTTP).
another free network scanner tool that’s popularised by contemporary movies are Nmap, it’s being featured in many movies such as bourne trilogy (idk i think it’s the 2nd movie), Matrix (1st), die hard 4.. etc… and on top of that, there’s this Umit which is basically a front end tool that add some functionalities such as its GUI, comparison tool, network mapping/topology, and some sort of a filtering tools (sort by services, hostnames, ipv4 etc..) not bad eh?

The Whole Earth Catalog, It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off.
EnterpriseDB & PostgreSQL Combo

Today i’ve installed another webserver listening at 8080 to test out the enterpriseDB & postgreSQL DB functionalities. installed a few apps, mediawiki & newly released phpbb3 (patience is a virtue edition). this is my first time usin postgreSQL as a DB, and what i can say compared to MySQL is … ermm.. not too much different i think.. it’s both RDBMS, both are opensource, and i think the center of the debate between these two open source databases revolves around three key issues: speed, data integrity, and popularity.
OWA – Client Access Authentication Bug?
Posted in General, information technology, infrastructure, software, tagged General on 20 November 2010| Leave a Comment »
At first i intend to open up my forwarding port for both port 443 (SSL) & 80 (HTTP), however, after i tried accessing the direct IP to my exchange OWA, it popped up an authentication error which prohibits me to access to its default OWA site, it doesn’t even show the form based logon (error 403 – Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied), so i go to the client access to see further on the config. it appears that the setting was fine, and i tried many options and it showed up the login page, however after i put in username and password, the apps prompted an error:
and change it to
authentication mode=”Forms”
OWA, Powershell & EMC

This weekend’s focus is on Ms Exchange training vids.. administering exchange 2010 so far has been a pleasant one.. there’s so much for everyone basically, for GUI lovers; EMC, for CLI lovers; PowerShell. if i’m full time doing exchange prolly i’ll start being manual, clicking here and there, searching for clues and whatnots. 久而久之, i’ll get used to it and start to create a script in powershell to automate some redundant and repetitive tasks such as creating a list of new users, defining their roles, changing parameters in each fields, querying datas and reports, etc..
hmm…
無法偵測到新裝的內存?
Posted in General, infrastructure, software, tagged General on 18 November 2010| Leave a Comment »
昨天一回到家我就直接把新的內風扇給裝了. 主要目的是要把裡面的熱空氣抽出往外流, 然後用了PRIME95 軟件測試溫度結果不到五分鐘, 處理器溫度升到將近攝氏100度, 太恐怖了.. 裝跟沒裝沒什麼兩樣.. 我上網搜索發現大家都怎裝的, 我自己感覺有點不對襟, 便試一下把風扇給倒裝了 (氣流從外往內). ㄟ.. 用同樣的軟件來試, 十分鐘過了, 溫度於攝氏75度左右不再上升啦..我好開心.. 就把螺絲關緊..
另外,我也附加了4G 內存. 原本是4G, 所以總共 8G. 注意事項如下:
- 一定要裝 64Bit 系統, 確保內存正確安裝_.
- 裝完了過後進BIOS, 確認 memory remap 功能設為 enable.
- run>msconfig>boot tab>advanced options: 確認 max memory 勾選框沒有打勾.

今天剛好放假所以特地跟我大學同學約中午午餐時間相聚,接下來就陪我朋友去森林廣場買東西。好久沒去哪裡咯,待會兒就看一下RAM多少價錢了。我想把主機剩下的兩個空格放滿不剩。最近我跑2xWin2K8也有點兒慢些。偶也想到要買內風扇不知能否找到合理價格,因為我記得這種配備通常較少人去強,導致少部分商家隨意開價。
這幾天工作方面沒啥忙,大事已過,今年重要測試任務已完全搞一個段落,所以用上了班時間溫故而知新。真有興趣。哦對!我兩禮拜過後會加入個工作新環境呢,又從零開始,我當然有點怕怕,有點擔心不適我欲。唉!現在難講,等我做滿一個月回頭判斷吧! : )
