New ESX servers and VmWare VCENTER installed at Corona. Could be what is causing the protocol driver errors from presentation server clients at that yard. Currently connecting to corvcenter but installing client support files on my XP pc.
Still dropping and I see nothing out of the ordinary.
LA SCA printer needed paper...lol. CORCASH pc had cert errors going to c-desktop

Yesterday all the DID's for incoming to Anaheim were gone from the Shoretel Call Director. All calls were routed through the main #, no fun.
All the MX records for email are now correct with both ports reporting fine.
Now Shoretel routes outgoing calls to the ANA auto attendant. Rebooted both V90 switches.

Restored a profile for my screen saver problem. Found out it was a leftover from the thin client ss.
The Exception Violation was due to a Shoretel Call Manager add-in. Removed and re-installed and all ok.
Darn MW from WB, he is really something. I got the logs from thier main SW coming to me so I can see what is going on with data drops.

Still fighting the exception error on the one server, not fun at all. I may have to call Z to have them take a look at it.
A couple of yards have bad CAT5 cables coming out of the ShoreTel phone to the WinTerm. No biggie, put new cables in the intercompany mailbag.
Called Z and they are looking at my server problem.
Batteries for BP cart arrived.
Home now and starting to work on M's laptop. Poison & Plow!

It appers that the WB Sonic Wall issue has finally settled down. A power problem Sunday at SC caused things to drop and the store pulled the trigger too soon but all is well now. I told MW to get a UPS for the store.
Still fighting the exception error on one presentation server. Only happens when starting Outlook 2003.
Whoo Hooo. New task. Build a Windows 2008 R2 server. 4 GB ram, 40GB hard drive, 2 cpu's. All in the virtual world. And put SQL 2008 R2 on the box.
I got all Margaret's pictures on DVD's, 6 of them with 3 iTunes backup.

Added a tray to contractor sales ticket printer for pink paper.
Still troubleshooting error on citrix with Outlook.
Must be printer day as I added yet another try to Sales B and configured both sales counter printers for the new forms & pink.
Looked at HP4350 in GWD rx. The pinch rollers need to be replace on the large drawer. I hope I have enough of the correct ones.

I have to repair Office 2003 on one of the production Citrix Presentation Servers today, oh joy.
Well the same problem is happening on another server. Exception EAccessViolation in module ntdll.dll at 0001A360. Crwap!
Things that didn't work so far:
1. Repair from add/remove
2. Remove Outlook componet from Office, reboot, then reinstall.
Currently removed Office, reboot, reinstalled Office, and now currently downloading 108MB SP3 for MSO2K3.
That didn't work. Time to visit Experts Exchange and see if there is a solution there.
Well that is on hold. Had to change the way a printer in Corona pulls sales tickets.

I tried to find an email for a user that was supposed to be in the SPAM filter. No luck searching the FROM field to even find it coming in, weird as I saw the Email from Spammy.
Now there is a problem with one of the NetApps and all the servers have been moved to main room as there is still a VLAn issue with the bunker. Tom is here of course.
So far everything seems to be running fine with the exception of CTX11 with one users Outlook. Giving an exception error. I disabled logins on the server and will reboot once Art logs off.
The network printers still are having minor issues. Usually it is the MFP4345 that needs the remote reboot from HP Web Jetadmin, but now the LA credit manger P3005 needs a kick evewry now and then. Funny, it was the Corona credit manager who was having problems with printing, but that was push the button Kate.
Whooo Hooo...speed tests from new line just for Internet!
Oh boy. The batteries for the rolling cart in BP are dying. New bateries have been ordered and they are a B-word to replace!

I got a new 16GB thumb drive for < $20, >$20 after shipping. I put my 2 4GB on it last night and now copying the network My Doc folder from the Net App to the drive...cool.
It is a Maxell drive I got from rtevo.com. They sent out 8gb to a lot of customers, including me, but made it all OK within a couple of days. I am just waiting on the RMA so I can return the unopened 8gb.
This drive does have locking software to require a password, but I am not going to mess with that.
Today at work we had a small problem with the SonicWall email security appliance due to the fact that Tom form Zumasys installed a new SonicWall firewall in and made DNS changes to point our mail to the MPLS circuit and off of the XO. Some firewall rules was re-directing the email to the back-end server and that was bypassing the spam filtering. A lot of emails from users wondering what was up was flooding my inbox. The second port just got shut off and now things are good.
At least the Inet speed is at 5M down and 3M up and it should double real soon.
I had to tweak the Intranet site today and made it so that the people in MPA can update their own Vendor of the Week pages. I will only have to update the overlay page once a year now.
Now that was fun! Tom the consultant was plugging in the additonal Internet connection in the bunker. Well that is when the help desk phone started to ring off the hook! For soem reason when he plugged it in, it affected 6 ESX servers here in the main computer room and people were being disconnected from Citrix. I tried to call his cell and ended up walking over there just as he was coming beck to the venor office which is 30 feet from my desk. He turned around and unplugged the cable and my phone started to get emails again. For some reason this line that he plugs in has some other info on it and it knocks out communication. Well he is busy creating a VLAN on the switch and he will call me before he plugs it in the second time while I monitor the network.
