whitepaper Sun Solaris Operating Environment0000-00-00 Sun Microsystems
  This paper introduces the Sun™ Solaris™ 2.6 operating environment, the Solaris family of servers, and Solaris software for developing, deploying, and managing an information network. An introduction to the vision Sun Microsystems has for information technology and web computing is contained within this chapter. A summary of the Solaris operating environment and a brief introduction to new features in the Solaris 2.6 release are in Chapter 2, “Solaris Features for the Enterprise, the intranet, and the Internet.”

whitepaper EMC Accelerates Mergers and Acquisitions2000-11-12 EMC
  While mergers are occurring more frequently than ever, the percentage that successfully achieves their stated goals and increase shareholder value is declining. According to KPMG, 83 percent of mergers fail to increase shareholder value and many actually destroy it. The difficulty accompanying the IT integration during mergers is one of the most common reasons for this failure. The next big wave of merger and acquisition activity is expected to involve both dot-coms and the Internet infrastructure companies. These companies derive their value from information that, during the merger, must be protected and r main available 24x7. Venture capital has funded these companies; ensuring a successful merger maximizes the investorÂ’s return.

whitepaper Cryptanalysis of Microsoft's Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)0000-00-00 @Stake
  The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to secure PPP connections over TCP/IP links. In this paper we analyze Microsoft's Windows NT implementation of PPTP. We show how to break both the challenge/response authentication protocol (Microsoft CHAP) and the RC4 encryption protocol (MPPE), as well as how to attack the control channel in Microsoft's implementation. These attacks do not necessarily break PPTP, but only Microsoft's implementation of the protocol.

whitepaper Active Directory Disaster Recovery for Windows 20002001-04-08 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Domain Controller requires more care and attention to detail than the equivalent operation in Windows NT 4.0. Domain Controllers can assume numerous roles within an Active Directory infrastructure: global catalogs, operations masters, and simple domain controllers. This paper describes the steps you use to recover the Active Directory database after a failure, the associated considerations, and the issues you need to keep in mind when restoring a server to a special role. The steps outlined in this paper have been verified through recovery operations staged in the Compaq QTEST Windows 2000 organization. QTEST is a worldwide deployment of Windows 2000 servers that is used by Compaq consultants to verify and test deployment scenarios.

whitepaper Deploying Microsoft Exchange 2000 Clusters2001-04-08 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server represents a significant technology evolution compared to previous versions. With Microsofts focus on scalability, reliability, and availability in Exchange 2000, clustering support has been greatly enhanced. While Exchange Server version 5.5 supported clustering technology, functionality was somewhat limited. With Exchange 2000 and Windows 2000, clustering will become a viable option for organizations seeking to provide higher levels of availability for Exchange deployment projects and server consolidation efforts.

This document will provide a resource for Compaq customers and partners who are seeking to leverage clustering technology with Exchange 2000. It provides an overview of clustering technology along with a review of Microsoft Cluster Server. A detailed discussion of Exchange 2000 clustering technology enhancements is also discussed. Most importantly, installation, setup, and configuration, guidelines for successful deployment of Exchange 2000 on Compaq ProLiant Clusters is provided.

whitepaper Creating and Configuring a Highly Available Print Server Under Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Using a Server Cluster2004-05-06 Microsoft
  This guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating and configuring a highly available print server utilizing a typical single quorum device multi-node server cluster using a shared disk on servers running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition operating systems. A server cluster is a group of independent servers working collectively and running the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS). Server clusters provide high availability, failback, scalability, and manageability for resources and applications.

whitepaper Using the UNIX Shell2002-09-29 Stanford Knowledgebase
  These notes describe the process of using a command-line shell interface to UNIX. If somebody is using an X-window terminal or the console of a UNIX workstation, he must first establish the X-window session and then open a "shell" or "command" window (one is often opened automatically). These notes will apply to what happens within that shell window.

whitepaper Cluster Computing: A Review of Cluster Characteristics across Several Leading Vendors0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The cluster systems covered differ in style and architecture from the basic systems which comprise the nodes of the cluster as well as the manner in which the nodes participate in the cluster system as a whole. Cluster operation is fundamental to VMS, unlike most systems which consist of a UNIX operating system and add-on cluster software. This paper does not include a dissertation on the benefits of clusters, rather it assumes the reader is familiar with such benefits which fall into the global categories of availability and scalability. Currently, there are no accepted standards for clustered computing, however, standard connections and protocols are used by some, but not all of the systems reviewed.

whitepaper Overview of Unix Commands0000-00-00 Rhys Haden
  Unix file names can be up to 14 characters long and include the _ and the . characters. Every Unix command or filename is case sensitive, unlike DOS, this is the most common error to be aware of. Commands leave 'notes' for programs (such as printing) that are 'buried' in the Unix system. This is so that one user does not hog one program, many people can access it. Such a program is called a 'daemon'.

whitepaper The Evolution of NTFS: NTFS 1.10000-00-00 Ars Technica
  Welcome to Part I of my series, the "Evolution of NTFS." Part I deals with NTFS up through NTFS 1.1, the version of NTFS found in Windows NT 4.0 (and commonly called NTFS 4.0). The article will give background to the development of NTFS, and foreshadow some of the important changes found in the next generation of NTFS found in Windows 2000. Part II will focus completely on NTFS 5.0, and Part III will talk about ways you can integrate NTFS into a multi-OS environment. If you're wanting to learn more about the version of NTFS found in Windows 2000, start here. 99% of this data is related to NTFS 5.0, and won't be repeated in Part II.
