All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is…

 

  1. I want to setup my new Domino 8.0.2 server  (Currently new in its box sitting beside my desk.)
  2. I want to setup my new SQL Reporting server.  (Also sitting in its box beside my desk.)
  3. I want to find to time to setup a server so I can install Domino 8.5 when it becomes available.
  4. I want to get my new IPS installed.
  5. I want my new SNMP monitoring software to get installed.
  6. I want my new Anti-Virus install to go smoothly.
  7. I don’t want anything to happen to any of the infrastructure I am responsible for over the holiday.

 

So what are my chances?   Probably not that great…   I do predict that numbers 1, 2 and 4 will be done by the end of January.   And hopefully numbers 3 and 5 by the end of February.   I don’t predict that I’ll get my wish on numbers 6 or 7.

 

Cheers!

Policies and Controls are King in the IT Security world

I came across an article by Roger Grimes over at Infoworld on how security policies and controls are the real power when it comes to IT security. Roger mentions the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defence , which are a great read for anyone looking at updating or auditing your policies for completeness.

Fun Little Earthquake

It's 1:45pm EST in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We just had an earthquake.  Not strong enough to damage anything, but enough that I watched people run out of buildings. What a fun Wednesday.

Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you.   An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit. It starts out with an agent error of Error 217.  The text of the error is "Error creating product object" You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum . You can find the solution here as well . I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this.   It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes.  It would have help me greatly.
