Our modular designs are highly scalable to meet growth needs, provide investment protection, and lower total cost of ownership.\r\n\r\nCloud computing is well understood as a profound shift in the IT model, evolving over time and having long-lasting implications for how IT builds applications, runs and delivers those applications, and how end users consume applications across an ever-expanding range of devices. Cloud has the potential to change everything about IT, allowing enterprise IT to create a competitive advantage by intelligently and dynamically anticipating and responding to business needs.\r\n\r\neGroup approaches cloud computing as a model that must be flexible and adaptive to the specific needs of each customer. Each individual business will approach cloud computing with unique goals, assets, timelines and budgets. Our message to customers is clear: it’s not about moving your business to somebody else’s cloud. It’s about moving your business forward with your cloud.\r\n\r\n<strong>At eGroup, we believe that your cloud needs to be:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Designed for the specific needs of each enterprise—not a “one-loud-fits-all” approach like most cloud offerings</li>\r\n	<li>Uniquely aligned to each enterprise’s business and its approach to IT</li>\r\n	<li>Able to leverage the investment in existing IT resources</li>\r\n	<li>Flexible enough to securely use both on and off-premise resources</li>\r\n	<li>An incremental, not wholesale, change</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Key use cases:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Solutions for running critical business applications with higher reliability, at lower cost</li>\r\n	<li>Solutions to help bring enterprise capabilities to cloud computing—security, quality of service, portability and choice</li>\r\n	<li>Zero-touch infrastructure management to dramatically reduce operational cost and increase reliability</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;','Cloud Services',' Intelligent, scalable, cost-effective virtual infrastructures for enterprise class requirements in data center computing, storage, networking,

the topic of networking specific to NFS on vSphere came up. One of the questions that was asked was if the \"Management traffic\" checkbox on a vmkernel needed to be ticked in order of that specifc vmkernel to communicate to the NFS export. I didn\'t believe this to be the case, and after some quick testing, we confirmed its as not needed.\r\n\r\nThe next question that came up is an important one to consider in your implementations of NFS on vSphere-- and it was the question of \"which vmkernel will be used to communicate to the NFS export?\". It\'s important to keep in mind that once the connection to an NFS mount is made, it will continue over the same vmkernel AND NIC that was used to establish the connection, so if you get it wrong the first time, it\'ll stay that way until you break the connection and re-establish it (which in our case, we tested by unmounting the export, making our changes, and then remounting).\r\n\r\nWhat I had learned a ways back that I believed to still be true was that the the IP of the NFS server would determine which vmkernel would be used by using the vmkernel\'s route table, and if no specific route (or same subnet vmkernel interface), the default route/gateway would be used.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhat we tested first was simply mounting the NFS export with a relatively \"out of the box\" ESXi host networking configuration. To the experienced vSphere administrator or architect this is obviously not something you\'d do yourselves, but you\'d be surprised at how far people take the \"NFS is so easy\" thought to their implementations, and if they can simply mount it without doing \"anything special\", a lot of the time they do.\r\n\r\nIn our configuration, the NFS server was on a different subnet, and so nothing in the route table matched the desired destination network, and the default gateway was used. This was also the vmkernel that was being used for Management traffic, and made for a non-optimal flow of traffic, especially for storage. To confirm our suspicions, we created a new vmkernel interface on the same subnet as the NFS server, and unmounted the NFS export. Then we mounted it again, and as expected, it used the new vmkernel on the same subnet (via a lookup to the route table) for the communication, and operated as desired.\r\n\r\nA lot of reference architectures are being made around the use of NFS, and making sure your network is designed properly is critical to the success of whatever you stack on that file system!','NFS on vSphere - NETWORK DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ','','publish','open','open','','nfs-on-vsphere-network-design-considerations','','','2012-02-19 23:00:26','2012-02-19 23:00:26','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=5993',0,'post','',0),(5963,13,'2012-02-10 15:06:26','2012-02-10 15:06:26','Cisco’s <a href=\"http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10265/index.html\">Unified Computing Systems</a> (UCS) has acquired the reputation of leading the next-generation of data center platforms by merging together the IT needs of computing, networking, storage access and virtualization into one unified system.\n\nCisco has recently announced their Q3 Cisco Smart Play bundles.

When this happens, the next time the user logs in to that server, it creates a new profile for them along the lines of “user.domain”, and increments that each time after, as in user.domain.001, user.domain.002, and so on.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThe fix is simple– go through and Modify the installation of the VMware Tools, and remove the “Shared Folder” feature from the installation. It does require a reboot, so make sure you plan accordingly, but once that was gone, the profiles operated as desired. What I found to be a little strange is that this issue did not have any impact on profiles managed through VMware’s View Persona Management, which offers very similar features/configuration, but for View environments.

If necessary, configure the server BIOS settings to boot from USB before the C: drive, or press F11 for the server boot option menu. USB boot is a subset of boot from C: drive\n\n&gt; The server should boot to the diagnostics utility.  Select option 4 to exit and drop to a DOS prompt\n\n&gt; Change to C:\n\n&gt; Run the BIOS update by typing in the name you selected when copying the file to USB (BIOS.EXE)\n\nThat\'s it!  Dell - if you\'re listening, please add these steps as an installation option in your online BIOS installation instructions.','HOW TO UPGRADE A DELL SERVER BIOS BY CREATING A BOOTABLE USB FLASH DRIVE','','inherit','open','open','','2969-autosave','','','2012-02-15 16:10:46','2012-02-15 16:10:46','',2969,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/2969-autosave',0,'revision','',0),(6036,16,'2012-03-28 23:27:19','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Recently we had the opportunity to help a valued customer in a SQL Server refresh project.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (6365,25,'2012-03-30 19:53:35','2012-03-30 19:53:35','EMC Data Domain\'s DD Boost protocol offers many benefits over other backup technologies.  For starters, DD Boost allows the backup servers to communicate directly with the Data Domain appliance without the need to emulate tape.  Another advantage of deploying DD Boost is the use  of  Interface groups.  Interface groups allow multiple physical network interfaces to be used as a private, load-balancing network.  While these features of DD Boost alone make this protocol a great option, the real \"magic\" lies in the use of Distributed Segment Processing.\r\n\r\nDistributed Segment Processing, or DSP, performs many of the data deduplication functions on the backup server, eliminating the need to transmit duplicate data across the network.  The obvious benefits of this are that backup jobs are faster, more efficient, and since the data has already been deduplicated, the replication transmission to a disaster recovery site can be begin immediately.\r\n\r\nWithout DSP enabled, the Data Domain performs all of the necessary deduplication steps once the data hits the device.  These steps include segmenting the data, fingerprinting the segments, filtering the segments, compressing the segments, and writing them do disk.  With DSP enabled, the backup server is responsible for segmentation, fingerprinting, and compression.\r\n\r\nDD Boost with Distributed Segment Processing is a terrific technology that greatly improves backup performance, while reducing overall resource usage.','The Advantages of Distributed Segment Processing with Data Domain DD Boost','','publish','open','open','','the-advantages-of-distributed-segment-processing-with-data-domain-dd-boost','','','2012-03-30 19:53:35','2012-03-30 19:53:35','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=6365',0,'post','',0),(6011,13,'2012-02-22 17:00:41','2012-02-22 17:00:41','The <a href=\"http://www.emc.com/storage/vnx/vnxe-series.htm\">EMC VNXe</a> 3100 Unified Storage and the <a href=\"http://www.emc.com/backup-and-recovery/data-domain/data-domain.htm\">EMC Data Domain</a> <a href=\"http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/data-sheet/h6807-datadomain-dd160-ds.pdf\">DD160</a> Deduplication Storage System are designed to be the foundation for a next-generation IT infrastructure. \n\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Bundle Descriptions</span></strong>\n\n<strong>Bundle 1</strong>: Storage and Backup Consolidation Bundle\n<ul>\n	<li>VNXe3100 - 6TB\n<ul>\n	<li>6x 1TO NL-SAS &amp; 3 Years Maintenance</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n	<li> DD 160 - 3.5TB\n<ul>\n	<li>Boost/Replication Software &amp; 3 Years Maintenance</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Bundle 2:</strong> Performance &amp; Simple Storage and Backup Bundle\n<ul>\n	<li>VNXe33100 - 9TB</li>\n<ul>\n	<li>6 x 600 + 1TO SAS &amp; 3 Years Maintenance</li>\n	<li>DD 160 - 6TB</li>\n<ul>\n	<li>Boost/Replication Software &amp; 3 Years Maintenance</li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<!--more-->\n\nThe VNXe series redefines networked storage for the small business to medium enterprise  user, delivering an unequaled combination of enterprise-like features, simplicity, and  efficiency.  The  Data Domain systems have revolutionized disk backup with high-speed, inline deduplication.

It allows the virtual desktop to be much more \"user-friendly\" in that the user can customize it, install their own applications, and make it the way THEY want it-- versus being \"constrained\" by the way the IT department wants their desktop to be. This increases user buy-in and morale, and can help push a proof of concept over the last hurdle.\r\n\r\nIt minimizes the amount of management required for \"dedicated\" desktops, as you still have a single image to patch, install standard apps on to, etc. It\'s also a technology from a 3rd party that used to charge per user, but is now included at no additional cost into the XD offering.\r\n\r\nIt took almost no time at all to configure and set up, and has worked flawlessly since-- it doesn\'t require re-learning an entire solution. These are all great and important things.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nHowever, where I see this falling short today is that it requires a user-to-desktop assignment in a 1:1 manner, the same way dedicated desktops do. To recap quickly, what this means is when a user logs in for the first time, they are assigned a specific desktop (let\'s say XD15), and every time they log in moving forward, they will receive the SAME desktop (XD15).\r\n\r\nSo for every user you need a virtual desktop.\r\n\r\nThere are a few reasons for this, and they\'re all good reasons.\r\n\r\nThe PVD is \"assigned\" to a desktop for the user, and it stays put on that desktop. It HAS TO stay on that desktop because the \"PVD layering\" does not get loaded at login. It gets loaded at boot time to allow it to access drivers, system services, and low-system level components some applications require. If this \"disk layering\" was handled at login, you\'d lose that.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also good to note that this is the same situation with Unidesk-- a technology very similar to the RingCube PVD technology.\r\n\r\nYou might be thinking \"well that\'s not a big deal, I\'ll have a desktop for each user (which you may already be doing) and they\'ll be able to do everything they need. This still sounds great!\", and I couldn\'t blame you for it. But this 1:1 mapping of user to desktop creates what\'s known as the \"Concurrency problem\".\r\n\r\nLet\'s say you have a total of 1000 users that connect to your virtual desktop environment each day. They\'re broken out into separate shifts of 250 users each, so at any given time, 250 connections and virtual desktop are in use. You\'d still need 1,000 desktops provisioned (1 for each user), even though 750 of them wouldn\'t be used at any given time in the day.\r\n\r\nIt\'s because of this that a lot of (specifically) VDI solutions combine different desktop pool types, with some as non-dedicated, and now likely some without the PVD feature. The PVD pools could be used for \"power users\" or executives, and the non-persistent \"floating\" desktops could be used for task workers. It adds a little bit of management overhead, but not much considering the power of the solution.

It allows the virtual desktop to be much more \"user-friendly\" in that the user can customize it, install their own applications, and make it the way THEY want it-- versus being \"constrained\" by the way the IT department wants their desktop to be. This increases user buy-in and morale, and can help push a proof of concept over the last hurdle.\r\n\r\nIt minimizes the amount of management required for \"dedicated\" desktops, as you still have a single image to patch, install standard apps on to, etc. It\'s also a technology from a 3rd party that used to charge per user, but is now included at no additional cost into the XD offering.\r\n\r\nIt took almost no time at all to configure and set up, and has worked flawlessly since-- it doesn\'t require re-learning an entire solution. These are all great and important things.\r\n\r\nHowever, where I see this falling short today is that it requires a user-to-desktop assignment in a 1:1 manner, the same way dedicated desktops do. To recap quickly, what this means is when a user logs in for the first time, they are assigned a specific desktop (let\'s say XD15), and every time they log in moving forward, they will receive the SAME desktop (XD15).\r\n\r\nSo for every user you need a virtual desktop. \r\n\r\nThere are a few reasons for this, and they\'re all good reasons.\r\n\r\nThe PVD is \"assigned\" to a desktop for the user, and it stays put on that desktop. It HAS TO stay on that desktop because the \"PVD layering\" does not get loaded at login. It gets loaded at boot time to allow it to access drivers, system services, and low-system level components some applications require. If this \"disk layering\" was handled at login, you\'d lose that.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also good to note that this is the same situation with Unidesk-- a technology very similar to the RingCube PVD technology.\r\n\r\nYou might be thinking \"well that\'s not a big deal, I\'ll have a desktop for each user (which you may already be doing) and they\'ll be able to do everything they need. This still sounds great!\", and I couldn\'t blame you for it. But this 1:1 mapping of user to desktop creates what\'s known as the \"Concurrency problem\".\r\n\r\nLet\'s say you have a total of 1000 users that connect to your virtual desktop environment each day. They\'re broken out into separate shifts of 250 users each, so at any given time, 250 connections and virtual desktop are in use. You\'d still need 1,000 desktops provisioned (1 for each user), even though 750 of them wouldn\'t be used at any given time in the day.\r\n\r\nIt\'s because of this that a lot of (specifically) VDI solutions combine different desktop pool types, with some as non-dedicated, and now likely some without the PVD feature. The PVD pools could be used for \"power users\" or executives, and the non-persistent \"floating\" desktops could be used for task workers. It adds a little bit of management overhead, but not much considering the power of the solution. And it\'s likely this is how things will remain for the near term-- it\'s an acceptable solution/design.\r\n\r\nTo me, and also to Gunnar (we had a good discussion around this a few times now), the ideal solution for Personal vDisk / Persistent Disk / Unidesk would be to have the PVD, whatever the name is, float with the user and require no desktop assignment.

especially problematic.  Not to mention, the XenApp servers were forced to devote resources to the overhead processes involved with maintaining numerous read/write operations with the  IMA

\"Session-host\" mode.  These servers operate with the one task of hosting user sessions, and as a result only need to sync a subset of data to their LHCs.  Meaning that these servers operate with much less overhead than a traditional \"Controller\" mode server allowing them to join the Farm much faster, consume less bandwidth, and consume less resources overall. On the flip side, these hosts are unable to serve as Zone Data Collectors, perform XML brokering tasks, and/or participate in IMA elections.\r\n\r\nThe server mode is selected when first joining the machine to the XenApp Farm.  To

stumbled across Ctrix article which outlined our scenario, with the solution.\r\n\r\nIt turns out that when you install VMware tools, it includes a “Shared Folder” option, which remains locked on user logout and does not allow for the profile to be properly deleted.

It does require a reboot, so make sure you plan accordingly, but once that was gone, the profiles operated as desired. What I found to be a little strange is that this issue did not have any impact on profiles managed through VMware’s View Persona Management, which offers very similar features/configuration, but for View environments.

The cirtical vulnerability is known as <strong>CVE-2012-002</strong>, and it boils down to an exploit in RDP that could allow an attacker to gain access via RDP without authenticating.\r\n\r\nThe issue is potentially reachable and accessible as RDP is enabled through many firewalls for remote management, and an attacker could reach the network in question before authentication is required. Microsoft privately self reported the problem first and noted that they have not seen it in the wild, but followed up with a comment on <a title=\"CVE-2012-0002: A closer look at MS12-020\'s critical issue\" href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2012/03/13/cve-2012-0002-a-closer-look-at-ms12-020-s-critical-issue.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Technet</a>, that they do expect to see an exploitable execution code within the next 30 days.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSteps to resolve the issue:\r\n\r\n1. Apply the <a title=\"Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-020 - Critical\" href=\"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-020\" target=\"_blank\">update</a> on machines with RDP enabled\r\n\r\n2. Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA) on Windows Vista or later machines. Here is a direct link to <a href=\"http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9803082\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft\'s Fix It 50844</a>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The Fix IT above is a simple MSI package that enumerates each of the “listener” registry subkeys under HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Terminal Server\\WinStations and sets the “UserAuthentication” REG_DWORD to 1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNote: Enabling NLA will prevent older cilents (XP &amp; Server 2003) from connecting because they do not support NLA. If you need to initiate an RDP connection from an XP client, be sure to install the <a title=\"Description of the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) in Windows XP Service Pack 3\"

huge fans of InfoWorld’s Paul Venezia and his Deep End blog - always provocative, never dull. But his latest post, <a href=\"http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/why-virtualization-breaks-monitoring-systems-202272\">Why Virtualization breaks monitoring systems</a>, had me miffed. You’ve got to use the right tool for the job, Paul!\r\n\r\nYou wouldn’t want to take your next road trip in a golf cart, and we don’t wash our dishes in a car wash – so why is IT still using the same monitoring systems of old to monitor their virtualized infrastructure?\r\n\r\nSure, these tools may get the job done eventually, but the means to get there is tiring and messy! Just like with old monitoring systems telling you when something changes (ouch - <em>every time</em> something changes?).\r\n\r\nSo what’s my advice to IT?\r\n\r\n<strong>Manage the <em>change</em>, and you’ll manage your infrastructure</strong> – improvements in technology constantly <em>change</em> the way we do business, and ultimately support the business – only with <em>change</em> we can do it faster, cheaper, and better. Embracing the dynamic nature of workloads, and managing and creating an environment of expected <em>change</em> is what today’s virtualized data center is all about. We <em>expect</em> it to change – we <em>want</em> it to change - we <em>need</em> it to change. Things will change, but we’ll still be in control – with the right tools – but not the old ones!\r\n\r\n<strong>When you’re at the point when most of your workloads are virtualized – those old monitoring systems need to go - </strong>as a married man, I know when it’s time to take out the trash – it’s at the precise moment the trash can is completely overflowing. We don’t throw away everything we no longer need though – often we will recycle, up-cycle, reuse, or donate our unwanted items – but when something is completely useless and I am morally obligated to keep it from being used by anyone any longer – it’s going in the trash.\r\n\r\nThat’s similar to how I feel about old monitoring systems that were meant for old, static environments.  When you’re at the point when most of your workloads are virtualized – those old monitoring systems and agent-based backups need to go. And if you need help through this phase, reach out to us, we’re happy to help!<em></em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Do not accept defeat -</em></strong> whatever you do, don’t surrender to the fact that you’ll never be able to monitor your virtualized infrastructure because the old monitoring tools have become instantly obsolete. IT Professionals are anything but defeatists – if there is a way, we’ll find it, code it, release it and conquer the world just to keep us from clicking a mouse that one extra time.\r\n\r\nThat attitude was certainly shared by VMware, which is why they released vCenter Operations Manager and the vCenter Operations Manager Suite. They knew that managing something so fluid couldn’t be accomplished with the same tools as static environments. The challenge of managing IT doesn’t decrease just because something is virtualized – it’s only when a workload is virtualized that we can see a management tool’s full potential, and value.\r\n\r\nTo understand how vCOPS acts as your greatest intelligence collector, read my recent post, “<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/hey-it-leaders-would-you-rather-be-proactive-or-reactive\">Hey IT Leaders – Would You Rather Be Proactive or Reactive?</a>”\r\n\r\nAnd so, with all due respect to Paul (and we have a TON of respect), virtualization doesn’t break monitoring systems – virtualization breaks <strong>OLD</strong> monitoring systems. Stop cleaning your dishes in the car wash, and get the right tool for the job!\r\n\r\nWouldn’t you agree?','Why virtualization breaks OLD monitoring

With 2003 and earlier, domain controllers used File Replication Services to replicate directories like SYSVOL. FRS has several drawbacks such as having to retransmit entire files and minimal self-healing capabilities.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>With 2008 and later versions, you can migrate from FRS to DFSR (Distributed File System Replication). DFSR can replicate only changed bits (useful for large logon scripts, company wallpaper, install files, and other items commonly found in the SYSVOL directory) and has more robust self-healing capabilities for conflict resolution.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Domains that are installed with 2008 or later functionality will have DFSR enabled by default. This procedure is only necessary for domains and forests that have been upgraded from 2003.<!--more--></div>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Run <strong>repadmin /replsum</strong> to verify replication health. Troubleshoot any problems found before proceeding. We\'ll want a clean bill of health for FRS replication before we retire it. Ideally you\'ll want all aspects of your domain controllers to be happy (<strong>dcdiag /e /v</strong>), but to check just FRS health on all of them at once, you can run <strong>dcdiag /e /test:FRSEvent</strong>.</li>\r\n	<li>Upgrade all domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 and raise your domain functional level to 2008 or higher. Enabling DFSR replication is a per-domain setting and will not affect other domains in a forest. Also be aware that enabling DFSR is not a reversible change, but once you begin you will have several opportunities to stop if you change your mind.</li>\r\n	<li>Make your coworkers aware that during the migration there should be no changes made to Group Policy, logon scripts, application deployments, or anything else that lives in SYSVOL or NETLOGON. Realistically nothing bad should happen if they forget and edit something like Group Policy, but it\'s highly probably that the change they make could be overwritten or rolled back. A DFSR migration can take less than an hour for a small environment or an afternoon or more for a larger environment. All operations can be performed during normal business operations so <strong>a maintenance window is NOT required</strong>. AD users and groups can still be created, modified, and deleted normally since those don\'t live in SYSVOL.</li>\r\n	<li>First we can verify that we\'re still using FRS with <strong>dfsrmig /getglobalstate</strong>. This is a command we\'ll come back to several times. You\'ll see the message below when FRS is still in use.<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6164\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"108\" /></a></li>\r\n	<li>To start the migration run <strong>dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1</strong>. By default SYSVOL lives in C:\\Windows\\SYSVOL. Setting the migration state to Step 1 instructs all domain controllers to create a C:\\Windows\\SYSVOL_DFSR directory and run robocopy scripts to copy the contents over.<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6165\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"186\" /></a></li>\r\n	<li>The file copy operations can take some time, especially if you use SYSVOL as a deployment share for software installations. You can run <strong>dfsrmig /getmigrationstate</strong> to list the status of each domain controller. It will list the names of any domain controller that isn\'t in sync with the global state we set before (state 1, \"Prepared\").

Up until this point, the whole process is reversible, but now we\'ll be making some permanent changes. <strong>dfsrmig /setglobalstate 3</strong> tells domain controllers to go ahead and delete the old SYSVOL folder and stop running FRS completely. If you\'re using FRS to replicate anything else besides SYSVOL and NETLOGON (and you\'ll know if  you are - you can\'t do it by accident) that replication will also stop. If you\'re not comfortable moving to state 3 just yet feel free to wait a while and reassure yourself that nothing has blown up. Technically your environment can live in state 2 forever, but you won\'t reap any of the benefits such as lower bandwidth replication until you reach state 3 (in fact bandwidth will be a bit wasted since you\'re replicating everything twice). When you\'re ready, move to state 3.<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/8.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6171\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"527\" height=\"143\" /></a></li>\r\n	<li>Your domain controllers are now in state 3. Any new domain controllers you promote will automatically use DFSR by default. This is the same message you\'ll see on domains that were natively installed with domain functional levels at 2008 or higher since they use DFSR out of the box.

href=\"http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-19605\">vSphere 5.0 Hardening Guide</a> this month and I wanted to take the opportunity to blog my way through it in order to increase my familiarity, heighten its visibility, and provide a forum for discussion of the recommendations and methods to implement an assessment in your own environment.\r\n\r\nSince the hypervisor is the heart of your datacenter, let\'s start with the ESXi guidelines:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Guideline Title: Use Active Directory for local user authentication\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Title: enable-ad-auth</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion: The credentials to your ESXi hosts are among the most sensitive in your entire datacenter. The root password should only be given to personnel that have an explicit need for it. Other users that need to login to hosts outside of vCenter can have permissions granted to their Active Directory account. David Davis has a <a href=\"http://blogs.vmware.com/esxi/2011/01/esxi-41-active-directory-integration.html\">great video</a> demonstrating the process. By default, an AD group names \"ESX Admins\" is checked for and all members will have full rights to all hosts.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc_50%2FGUID-25A5EB3B-7BB1-4B0B-9323-926AE6F0667F.html\">Official VMware documentation</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n	<li>Guideline Title: Establish a password policy for password complexity\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Title: set-password-complexity</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion: This setting is used to enforce strong passwords for local accounts. You know, the local accounts you\'re not using since all your hosts are joined to AD, right? But seriously, this is a great setting to use to force users to pick strong passwords, even if your hosts have no local users. Configuration drift happens, so let\'s plan ahead and make sure these users will have strong passwords. Using vi, you\'ll edit the file /etc/pam.d/passwd and modify the third line. The default value is \"password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry=3 min=8,8,8,7,6\". The retry value controls how many attempts users get to pick a strong password. The last 5 numbers control your desired complexity settings, in the following order and referencing four character classes (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols/special characters):\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The first digit is the minimum length for passwords containing characters from 1 of the classes (least complex, e.g. using \"password\" as your password). You\'ll want this to be a very large number.</li>\r\n	<li>The second digit is the minimum length for password containing characters from 2 of the classes. You\'ll also want this to be a very large number.</li>\r\n	<li>The third digit is the minimum length of SSL certificate passphrases</li>\r\n	<li>The fourth digit is the minimum length for password containing characters from 3 of the classes. Now were getting into reasonable passwords, so allow whatever reasonable length your organization permits.</li>\r\n	<li>The fifth digit is the minimum length for password containing characters from 4 of the classes (most complex, e.g. using \"p4$wOrd\" as your password\"). Same as the previous line.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc_50%2FGUID-942E8E23-D2CE-49B0-8B39-F31EF6D0519B.html\">Official VMware documentation</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n	<li>Guideline Title: Verify Active Directory \"ESX Admin\" group membership.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Title: verify-admin-group</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion: now that our hosts are joined to AD (first bullet point above), we want to audit the membership of \"ESX Admins\" since those users will automatically have root-level permissions to our hosts. This is a manual check, but you\'ll also want to automate it so that it can run regularly. You can write a scheduled Powershell script to read the group membership and email you the contents on a schedule, or products like ADAudit Plus from ManageEngine are perfect for this task and can email you only when group membership changes.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1025569\">Official VMware documentation</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n	<li>Guideline Title: Ensure that vpxuser auto-password change meets policy.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Title: vpxuser-password-age</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion: ESXi contains a built-in user account called vpxuser. This account has Administrator-level permissions to the local host and is used by vCenter to execute tasks. vCenter sets this password and changes it automatically every 30 days. If your organization requires more frequent password changes, you can change this from the vSphere client by selecting \"Administration -&gt; vCenter Server Settings -&gt; Advanced Settings\" and changing VirtualCenter.VimPasswordExpirationInDays to your desired interval.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc_50%2FGUID-20FA4157-F371-4922-92E8-63822FA808FA.html\">Official VMware documentation</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n	<li> Guideline Title: Ensure that vpxuser password meets length policy.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Title:vpxuser-password-length</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion: Similar to the guideline above, this check confirms that the password length for the vpxuser password is long enough to comply with your organization\'s security policy. By default it is set to 32 characters. To increase this password length, modify the \"vpxd.hostPasswordLength\" value in the vpxd.cfg file. On Windows this file is located at C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\VMware\\VMware VirtualCenter\\vpxd.cfg  or on the vCenter Server Appliance you\'ll find it at /etc/vmware-vpx/vpxd.cfg.</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc_50%2FGUID-20FA4157-F371-4922-92E8-63822FA808FA.html\">Official VMware documentation</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThat\'s it for today!
