dwelp, Unfortunately, I've found that in working with 3 auditors at 2 separate organizations, neither would provide analysis on SOX or PCI compliance. The auditors I am speaking about are reputable NPO auditors in the Chicago area. They would not provide any information nor opine in terms of a formal statement in the management letter. Obviously

Has anyone put together formal PCI Compliance documentation as it relates to your organization? I would be interested to know what was involved and if there were related issues to doing so. Also, if there is any sample documentation, I would greatly appreciate any information that is available. Thanks :)

I have somewhat of a similar scenario as you, but the network was already consolidated to VMWare before I started (2 physical ESX servers with 7 VMs). The work was performed by a "consultant" and I could go on for hours in terms of how poorly that was handled. In either case, I was initially using vRanger to handle processing the snapshots

We use a software from our phone system (Intertel) called Oaisys. It works okay, but is somewhat lacking. We tried to replace it with Outlook Messenger , but it didn't work well and there was a small licensing fee. We just discovered Oovoo and while its not restriced to LAN operability, its pretty slick and even allows you to use a web cam. We're

Karen, Looked at awhere, but was wondering how this can be leveraged for the web? We developed a site called www.locateapark.com , but would like to use more of our data to drill down by state, county, village/township, and actual park location. I am very interested in this product, but was wondering if it could be used in a website. Thanks, Dean

dbudny makes a great point regarding the management console. We uninstalled just the management console and everything seems to be working fine (i.e no BoSD's on production servers). Our servers weren't SBS, but were Windows 2003 Std and we still had issues. We tried to make a registry change for it to work, but it didnt seem to help. We did

Not sure if anyone has made the leap up to Symantec's new Endpoint Manger, however, if you are contemplating doing so, I would use extreme caution. We purchased it via CDW as our license was about to expire at the end of February and it appeared this was the new platform Symantec was moving to. We did isolated testing and it seemed to work fine

I actually went to a VMWare seminar (Chicago, IL) last week and unfortunately it was more sales-pitched and a "I know more than you" contest between IT folk at Fortune 500 companies. Unfortunately, being from a 501c3 with only 7 production servers, the examples were all typical of large corporate enterprise environments. The one thing I did notice is

I was just wondering if anyone in the NPO realm was using virtualization yet? Been investigating it and went to a VMWare/EMC meeting today (highly sales pitched), but every example seems to be typical of an enterprise-level environment. Only have 5 production servers (Exchange 2003/SQL 2005, etc), but would like the idea of virtualization, especially

Sasha, My org is about the same as yours and we utilize Exchange 2003 and SQL 2005. We used BackupExec for about 3 years and decided to move away from it in an effort to move towards non-tape medium and an online backup solution (BackuExec does allow you to in fact back up to a external HDD or another folder on another machine). I'm not sure what
