    Related to the actual cause of the problem, I apparently was testing some SMTP stuff a while back and disabled my rule to block all SMTP outbound on my network, then forgot to turn it back on. That rule is enabled again, so now waiting to see when it gets hit to find out what the hell on my system is sending spam.

    But, this still does not resolve the MS problem with the white listing until the CBL drops off.

    I'd love to see something like this that you could easily keep everything in-house.

    If you're developing web applications it is great for keeping consistency across the board on dev environments; it's great mitigation for dependency hell.

    I used to give them girl's names but now I just name them after their role, plus a number.
    So
    SQL01, SQL02, EXCH01, ESXCH02, DC01, DC02, FILESERV01, SHAREPT01 etc etc

    In the age of virualisation and rapid deployment of new servers, this seems to be only practical approach in my opinion.

    Yeah, I agree. When you had physical servers that lasted a decade and only a few of them saying "Betty is down", or "The Enterprise has been infected with malware" or "Vienna is running slow today" was effective because we treated each one like a person and everyone dealt with just a few of them. It made sense in smaller environments. I still remember the roles of our two biggest Windows NT 4 boxes from the 1990s. They each made it ten years and were named Vienna and Salzburg. I can still tell you the memory configs on them, what apps they ran, their RAID configs, their processors, and their full histories. There were our babies, so naming them as such made sense.

    But now that we create and destroy VMs every day and have tons and tons more of them that would just not work like it used to. It used to take months or years to decommission a physical box. Now we turn off a VM in seconds.

    the problem with moving it is that the APs only want to talk to the device that activated them. At least by DNS name if not by IP. So if you restore to a new machine with a different IP, you'll have to change DNS at least, if not manually reset all APs and import them again.

    I'm pretty sure you can telnet or SSH into them and change it. Pretty sure I've done it before.

    Yeah I suppose, I tried today but it would not accept my password. I should try again when I'm not under the gun.

    Jason, do you understand that it is the same password you use for the controller?

    No, It's been a while since I've used them but it was under settings on the controller you set a device password. otherwise it's likely just ubnt/ubnt for the user/pass of the AP.

    Yeah I saw that are, on phone now, and I recall seeing my username in there, but the password was started out.

    but still very less that what it's supposed to be

    Define "what it is supposed to be?" What makes you feel that it should be faster?

    Exactly - Until you test transfering a 4+ GB file so you have at least 1 min of sustained transfer on a single file you won't really know what you're getting.

    As Scott mentioned, small files are the killer of SMB protocol.

    If you've got Xen working, why still have a second boot option instead of running it in a VM?

    I mean, I can understand wanting to experiment, but that's just odd.

    As mentioned earlier, this is fine with me, started working on the Xen, but just wondering how this worked earlier and why is it not working now. @Mohammed-Fota i will try the bios update as well.

    @scottalanmiller Whether the Cell phone has to be rooted to do the swapping

    Depends on the phone, I suspect.

    Are those apps malicious I wonder like a lot of the flashlight and battery android apps?

    They are apps on Android for doing things that your phone is not meant to do. Has all of the red flags of malicious apps. I'm going to guess that there is a good chance.
