1. "EDITORS CORNER" 


Hi NT-ers,

If this is your first Issue, Welcome to NTools E-News and Happy New Year!
We are going into our fourth year of this newsletter and there are now 
155,000 subscribers. This is a good indicator of NT's growth in the 
market. NTools E-News keeps up with NT's expansion. Treat this issue as 
a 'sample' of what you will get every two weeks. Unsubscribing is about
5 seconds work, check the very end of this newsletter how to do it. I 
suggest you wait a month though, so you'll see what important stuff you'd
otherwise miss...

The biggest non-event last year was Windows NT 5.0 (renamed to Windows 
2000 which we abbreviate to W2K). It wins the title of 'VaporWare 1998'. 
But on the other hand, most NT System Administrators are perfectly fine 
waiting for it. First, nobody is in a hurry to roll out -another- major 
release of an O/S . Second, MS better get it right and take their 
time with the Beta's, the last thing we need is a buggy release. If only
we could get rid of those pesky NT 4.0 domain related problems... ;-)

1999 PREDICTIONS:

1) Since Beta 3 comes out first quarter 1999, I expect W2K (NT 5.0) 
to be released late this year. It will be stable and relatively bug 
free. In the mean time, get ready for it and flatten your domain 
structures as much as possible.

2) A very small percentage of sites will actually take W2K into 
production before Jan 1, 2000. People want to have the millennium 
roll-over behind them, and see Service Pack 1 before they go live.

3) There will be at least one 'Y2K-panic' this year and some people 
will start stockpiling all kinds of stuff. Stocks of companies that sell
battery backups, gasoline or diesel-powered generators, solar panels and 
alternative energy will soar in 1999. It makes sense to buy your company
battery backups soon, there will be shortages.

4) Microsoft will come out of this Government case unharmed and an
experience richer. BillG will have learned if you get this big you 
have to lobby the Washington politicians as normal operating procedure.

5) Novell will finally be acquired this year by a big player like Oracle, 
Sun or IBM in an attempt to stop NT's march into the market. It will fail
to do so though.

6) Linux will become the most popular alternative to NT Server, but 
will not be able to 'cross the chasm' into the mainstream. Main Reasons? 
One: The Linux community is a fractious bunch fighting religious wars.
Two: Software companies will not see how they can make money with Linux.
Three: Linux is not ready for the average workstation.
Four: It's Unix. If Unix was so good, would NT ever have made it? 

7) Y2K will prove to be costlier to fix than anyone imagined in their 
wildest dreams and make the first two months of 2000 interesting times. 
No worldwide depression though.

We'll see in a year how many I got right. To end off this Editor's Corner, 
I saw a signature at the end of an email and decided to share it with 
you. I thought it was pretty funny, especially since we all use Microsoft 
stuff: 'Using yesterday's software to create tomorrow's problems today'. 


Let's see what is happening in the NT-world!

Warm regards,

Stu Sjouwerman


********************************************************************
2. "TECH BRIEFING ON FAULT TOLERANCE"

* REPLICATION, MIRRORING AND SYNCHRONIZATION DEFINED

You all know that NT has built-in replication. This is a simple and
very effective little engine that allows you to copy a file, directory
or group of directories from one machine to another. You can schedule
when it has to happen and it is a good way to get important data from
one box to another. 

It has a few shortcomings though: First is that ALL the data gets copied,
including everything that had not changed since the last time the data
was replicated. That costs a lot of overhead. Second problem is that 
it is not real-time. That means that in case of system failure data 
could get lost that was modified since the last 'replication' (which is
really only a file-copy operation). Replication will get an additional
definition later on.

That is why a whole class of tools sprung up very close after the release
of NT 3.51. That version was the first one really ready for production 
sites and got implemented widely. Next, people needed Fault Tolerance and
the NT replication does not cut the mustard for mission critical servers.

The class of tools that quickly developed was both called Fault Tolerance 
and Clustering solutions. There are many technical differences between the
tools that were created, but you can roughly split them out in two groups:
1) Clustering (varies from bare-bones to pretty advanced)
2) Replication with Fail-Over.

NT's WolfPack (Microsoft Cluster Server) sits squarely in Category 1. It
has two machines sharing the same storage. One machine fails and the other
kicks in using the same storage device. This setup does have a single point
of failure: the storage device. However, RAID is pretty strong and it will 
not die that quickly. But MSCS has not really taken flight despite the 
really enormous hype about it last year. It's my guess that is because 
the hardware requirements are pretty stringent. Bottom line: There is only 
a single copy of the data in a single location.

The other category is Replication with Fail-Over. There is a lively market
with quite a few third party tools that do this. The architecture is very
different from Clustering. There are two (or more) complete machines hooked
up to each other. Mission Critical data gets copied in real time from one
machine to another, both having separate storage. The first machine fails, 
the second machine kicks in and presents the data to the network from its
own storage. This allows you to get the data off-site as well. Bottom line:
Multiple copies of the data possible in more than one location.

Let's have a look at the definitions related to Replication with Fail-Over:

SOURCE: The machine that contains the original mission-critical data that
must be protected.

REPLICATION SET: The data on a source machine that is to be protected. A
replication set is defined by the volume, directories, files or wild card
combinations that are to be replicated to the target

TARGET: The machine that maintains the copy of the replication set from the
source.

MIRROR (verb): The process of transmitting -all- the data contained in a 
replication set in -one- operation from the Source to the Target machine 
so that an identical copy exists on the Target. Also called SYNCHRONIZE.

REPLICATION: real-time transmission of -the changed data- in files. Note
that this is only the information that is modified in the source files.
(Not the whole file like NT replication).

FAILOVER: The process where the Target server notes the Source server died, 
renames itself to Source and presents the replication set to the machines 
on the network, often undetected by the users.

CLUSTER SUPPORT: Some Replication tools actually support Microsoft Cluster
Server and allow off-site data protection and recovery for clustered 
servers and applications.

MULTI-PLATFORM SUPPORT: Some Replication tools can actually replicate data
from one platform to another. Example from NT to Unix. Obviously this is
limited to replication, not fail-over.

ONE-TO-ONE: Source data sits on one machine, and there is one Target 
defined.

ONE-TO-MANY: Source data gets replicated to more than one Target.

MANY-TO-ONE: There are multiple Sources and only one Target.

MANY-TO-MANY: Data gets replicated from multiple Sources to multiple 
Targets.

As you can see, these definitions clear up what exactly the possibilities
are and gives you a conceptual understanding of the differences. If you 
want to see one of these replication utilities in action, check this out:

* W A R N I N G: DOMAIN CONTROLLERS CANNOT MIX SP 3 AND 4 

The Windows NT magazine e-mail newsletter Update had a few good ones:
You'd better read Microsoft's Support Online article Q197488. Since
SP4 makes changes in the security hive of the registry (and many 
other security related things) you can't promote a BDC that runs SP3
to a PDC if that PDC has SP4 applied. All your domain controllers
have to be FIRST updated to SP4 before you can promote a machine!
Check it out over here. It may be you need to register first before
they let you in. I suggest you do that, you'll be happy you did.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q197/4/88.asp?FR=0
You'll also find instructions how to uninstall SP4 in article Q196603
-------------------------

* IMPROVEMENTS IN NTFS FOR W2K (NT5.0)

Last week we had a survey question on the Sunbelt sponsored Free
NTSYSADMIN list: WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD IN NTFS? A lot of the system
admins on the list responded with things they did not like and some
one 'in the know' responded with the things that are already improved
in W2K's NTFS. Here are the following items:

1) Folks may be interested to hear that Win2000 has a safe command 
line boot option, so that - yes, you can boot quickly into a command 
line, and inspect the system for problems. This feature was in Beta2 
- just look at the boot prompts.

2) I am happy to report that in Windows2000, setup does *not* create 
a FAT volume, then convert it to NTFS - it is now made NTFS directly.
This is already in Beta 2.

3) Problem: Not being able to set the initial size of the Master File
Table.
Solution: Actually, you can, sort of. MFT is initially created quite 
small, and grown in small chunks, but very importantly, it is allocated 
from the MFT zone. This is initially the first 1/8th of the volume. 
The allocation strategy is such that non-MFT things are allocated from 
space outside the MFT zone unless there are no other free clusters. It 
is possible to change the default size of the MFT zone at format time - 
you can make it up to 50% of the disk size.

4) Problem: NTFS cannot be converted back to FAT.
Response: Interesting point. The obvious retort is... why? But I can 
imagine that reasons might exist. It will be interesting to see how many 
more people echo this request.

5) Problem: Check Disk only tells you that "minor inconsistencies"
were found, without elaborating on what they were.
Response: CHKDSK was completely redone in W2K and made m u c h faster. 
A 100 Gig drive that took 24 hours to repair now gets fixed in 40 minutes.

6) Problem: The *apparent* (or claimed) lack of upgradeability from the 
current NTFS4 to the forthcoming NTFS5 of Windows 2000 could be a 
considerable potential problem.
Response: No problem here, I am happy to report. Windows 2000 does use 
a new on-disk format for NTFS v5. Windows NT 4 *prior* to SP4 cannot 
recognize these volumes. Windows NT4 Service Pack 4 *CAN* recognize and 
use NTFS v5 volumes.

When Windows2000 mounts a NTFS4 volume, it silently upgrades it in-place 
to the NTFS v5 format. An upgraded NTFS volume is exactly as functional 
as a pure, Windows2000 formatted NTFS volume. The upgrade is very quick
- just a couple of seconds. If this NTFS volume needs to be shared with 
an NT 4 system (removable, dual boot, cluster etc...) then just make sure
the other NT4 systems are running SP4.

3. "NT RELATED NEWS" 

* PC SERVER MARKETSHARES

Third Quarter 1998 worldwide PC Server sales grew 22% over the same
period the year before. The companies' revenue was lower though due
to discounts gives on lower-end machines, ComputerWorld reported.
Here are the numbers of worldwide PC Server market shares Q3,1998
- Compaq/Digital 32%
- Hewlett-Packard 15.2%
- IBM 12.9%
- Dell 11.5%

But now, let's have a look at the USA market shares for that same Q398:
- Compaq/Digital 32.3%
- Dell 19.7%
- Hewlett-Packard 16.5%
- IBM 9.7%

It's obvious that Dell's Direct Sales model works like a charm in the 
US. You can expect all the other players to follow. Compaq already 
started and HP currently makes Compaq publicly wrong for it, but my 
prediction for 1999 is that they will jump on the Direct bandwagon 
before the end of the year. (data source: IDC)
----------------------------

* EXCHANGE SERVER 5.5 SERVICE PACK 2 NOW READY

Microsoft announced that they would have SP2 for 5.5 ready by December
31-st. I checked this morning and it was there now at the MS BackOffice 
website, You can download it or order a CD. 
http://www.backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/default.asp OR
http://www.backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/moreinfo/ex55sp2.asp

Exchange SP2 is a collection of all Exchange Server enhancements and
bug fixes up to present time. New features include a replication tool
that will let users at different companies replicate data in shared
folders and a new wizard for moving servers between organizations or
sites. Like always, first test on a non-critical system!
-----------------------------

* FREE EXCHANGE MOVE SERVER WIZARD

It is sometimes a headache to do the following:

- Move a Microsoft Exchange server between existing sites 
and organizations. 
- Move a Microsoft Exchange server to create a new site 
or organization. 
- Move a Microsoft Exchange server to a new site in an 
existing organization. 
- Merge existing Microsoft Exchange server sites and organizations. 

There is now a Wizard you can download from the MS Website that makes
this a whole lot easier. Get it over here:
http://backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/moreinfo/Ex55sp1wizard.asp
-----------------------------

* FIX IIS PROBLEMS WITH FREE IIS EXCEPTION MONITOR

Running into problems like these?
- IIS exits and a Dr. Watson error log is generated. 
- The Web service exits abnormally. 
- The browser returns an "ASP 0115" error. 
- The browser returns a "Server Application Error" message. 
- The browser returns a "Server Too Busy" error. 

Microsoft Technical Support has provided a tool that will pry the 
hood open of this car we call IIS so you can peek inside. This tool 
is called the IIS. Exception Monitor. It attaches to the IIS Process 
and reports back what is going on. The IIS Exception Monitor can 
provide an explanation of which type of exception occurred, what 
thread the exception happened on, and what DLLs were executing 
functions on that thread.

This may not be enough information to solve the problem 100 percent 
of the time. However, it usually provides more information than 
you had before and narrows the scope of the problem down to focus 
on a certain ODBC driver or component that is being called. Here is 
the place where you can get a free copy and instructions how to use 
it. Very handy little tool!!

4. "NT THIRD PARTY NEWS"

* MCSE+I ALL SHIPPED

Everyone in the USA that ordered the Sunbelt Christmas special MCSE+
Internet was shipped their product December 30 and 31. You should have
it or get it this week. Outside the USA, product will start to ship 
first and second week of January.
---------------------

* FREE FIX FOR REMOTE EXPLORER VIRUS

Trend Micro Inc., Wednesday announced detection for the "Remote Explorer" 
virus via its free on-line scanning service, HouseCall(tm) at
http://housecall.antivirus.com.

While Remote Explorer was reported to have infected multiple computer
systems at one MCI last week, Trend Micro has no reports regarding this 
new virus from any of its customers and believes this is most likely an
isolated incident that does not pose a serious threat at this time.

As a precaution, Trend Micro has updated its free HouseCall online virus-
scanning service to detect Remote Explorer virus. With HouseCall, concerned
users can reassure themselves that the virus is not in their system.
-----------------------------

* VIRTUOSITY GETS GREAT REVIEW FROM INFOWORLD

Virtuosity is a domain migration tool that makes domain management
database-driven. InfoWorld's Mark Joseph Edwards did a review and game
back with the following recommendation:

"Virtuosity 3.0's capabilities for analyzing system security and easing 
NT domain migration impressed me. It's a must-have for networks with 
numerous domains that should be consolidated for simplicity's sake, or 
in preparation for Windows 2000. I highly recommend it".

-----------------------------

* LANEXPLORER NOW HAS REMOTE TRAFFIC AGENT.

LanExplorer was very recently tested by InfoWorld and was showed to be
a lot easier to use than the tool it was compared with. The review done
by Andre Kvitka showed LanExplorer to be pretty hot. The test is here:
http://www.sunbelt-software.com/lantrace/InfoWorldReview/192886.html

What was not mentioned in the review, that for network segments you 
cannot normally see with LanExplorer it now has a Remote Traffic Agent.

The primary purpose of the Remote Traffic Agent is to allow network 
monitoring from an offsite or remote location. Uses include: 
- Monitoring switched network segments 
- Monitoring network segments over a WAN - e.g. offsite networks 
- Monitoring specific machines/servers over a network. 

The client and agent support network connections and dial up access 
(PPP). Feasibility for dial up access will depend on the modem speed 
and the volume of data being transferred. Direct dial up (PC to PC) is 
not supported. Network connections are recommended (where the client 
and remote machines are sending/receiving over network adapter cards).

The Remote Traffic Agent can be used for gathering summary data - 
including for the Traffic Matrix, Host Table, and general network 
statistics. Limited packet capture is available. 

The Agent is a remote probe running on Windows 95, 98 or NT that the 
client application can control just like any local adapter. The client 
application uses TCP/UDP over IP to communicate with the Remote 
Traffic Agent.

5. "HINTS AND TIPS - TIME SAVERS AND OTHER GOODIES...

John Savill wrote me:
Many people have recently been hit with the problem of their NT
installations suddenly giving a message of expiry in one hour and then 
stack dumping! Microsoft provide no tool to tell if your installation 
is an evaluation version or full.

I have written a utility that will tell you this information and can be
downloaded from http://www.savilltech.com/download/wininfo.zip. I would
advise all network admin's to run on their servers so they may fix in
advance any servers by way of an NT "upgrade". Details of this upgrade 
can be found in the NT FAQ (http://www.ntfaq.com).

Remember that even if you use a full CD and correct auth code if you used
setup disks created with an eval CD your installation will still expire!
Microsoft have tested this utility and are recommending it to their
customers if they want to perform this check. This utility is free to
download.

7. "Y2K WATCH" Only 361 days to Jan 1, 2000 


The world has woken up to Y2K. Major 1 hour specials on CNN, full page
articles in the Newspapers, you name it. Since it's now less than a 
year away it starts to become real. Sunbelt has done its own testing
and we are Y2K compliant. We have tested all products we sell, and 
have not found any Y2K problems with them either. Practically all of 
them were written after the Y2K issue was already known. The tools that
needed dates have been equipped with at least 4-digit year fields. Some
optimistic souls that expect their software to run 8,000 years from now
even included a fifth digit just to make sure. .

The NT-market is pretty Y2K resistant and I expect it not to slow down 
much due to Y2K resource problems. In a significant amount of cases it 
is easier to simply plug in a new NT server that you know is already
compliant than to fix older systems.
