Transition WHS 2011 to VMWare

An easy thing to do would be to use Hyper-V, put WHS as a guest OS and attach the raw disks. You can't do raw disk mapping with a regular SATA setup in ESX and XenServer.

Vertex 2 Problems

I had the same (or very similar) problem. It was working fine up until a certain point in time and it would randomly freeze in Windows and cause BSODs. The computer wasn't frozen as I could still move the mouse cursor. If I put it in another PC, even with a live Linux CD, it would freeze. I...

We're still running Pentium 4s and some have as few as 256MB RAM. Even my own work machine is P4, I don't feel that OfficeScan slows down the machine anymore than any other enterprise AV. But that's just my opinion... If you're using OfficeScan 10.5 with Smart Scan v2, you can redirect clients...

RSA attacked, SecurID possibly compromised

This is the same information in the email we got from RSA http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/790070/000119312511070159/dex992.htm Most relate to phishing/social engineering, so I'm guessing that they need a piece of information from the user. Possibly the serial number of the token?

What's the point of SSL on Wikipedia?

running multiple virtual machines on one server

The gotcha about ESX is it has limited hardware support compared to XenServer and Hyper-V. Especially if you are working with a "whitebox" setup. There are ways to add additional drivers into ESX, but as far as I know, it's not supported.

Choosing sites to block like Facebook, online banking, online shopping etc. are not a technical issues and should not be decided by IT. IT can provide reports to management to say how much time they calculate is wasted but at the end of the day, it's management that should be making that decision.

They very likely will have records of the server IPs you hit, so yes they can figure out where you've been going. And don't put an external connection on your work laptop. And policies are usually or should be set by management, not IT. IT just implements them.
