Since the new IPs have now been available since December 19th, can you give us some idea of when we might expect the test site to be updated, so that it confirms that we're using these new IPs please? Thank you.

Let's see if we can get   to check back for us.

 

It is disconcerting to configure the new settings and have the test page show incorrect information.

 

 

 

Re: Norton Anti Theft - compatibility with UEFI drivers & Win 8.1 Pro

Regarding the UEFI drivers question, NAT is not impacted by these drivers. Intel AT would be affected at this level, but if the hardware supports it, then NAT will work fine.

PQI to virtual machine

$

Hello, we wish to create several virtual machines using some old PQI files, however VMware doesn't support PQI. When looking around I've seen several mentions of people using norton ghost 15 in order to convert PQI to VHD, but Norton ghost is no longer available.

According to several sources Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery should be able to read PQI files and I was hoping I could use that or some similar tool to convert the files but couldn't figure it out on my own.

Any help would be appreciated

Ghost 9 upward and SSR were based on PowerQuest drive image 6.  They still support .PQI image files.

They can covert them to both .VHD or .vmdk virtual hard drives.

I don't think they will do it in trial mode, I think you need to purchase the product first.

 

That said, if whatever virtual pc software your using can match the original systems hal and hard drive controller you may not need to convery anything.

I have old .PQI images of an XP system that had IDE drives and a single core CPU and I can simply restore the images onto a new VPC and have them boot.

I 'think' vmware lets you choose a virtual sata drive but I'm not to familiar with that product.

Dear preethi_v,

thank you for your reply.

I understand NAT works, in principle, but I kindly ask you to explain the meaning of "Intel AT"...

Sorry, but I'm not so familiar with technical words.

Thank you.

Kind regards.

Give it time. The bump doesn't do a thing for it. The admin I asked will get to it as soon as he can. Who knows, there may be others with the correct answer.

I know the answer and I'm sure most people here do as well, is this an open question or do we need to bother the boss?

Intel Antitheft is a web-based service which uses hardware features in computers equipped with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology to provide multi-level security. It protects private data and guards against theft with remote lockdown, encryption within Secure Data Vault, and other built-in theft deterrence capabilities.

 

Intel AT requires an Intel AT-enabled processor, BIOS and firmware that support the technology, and a software security subscription service. To determine whether your notebook supports Intel AT, see http://antitheft.intel.com/find-a-laptop.aspx

 

While purchasing Norton Antitheft, if the machine is enabled with Intel Antitheft technology, then Norton Anti-theft website enables user to lock down the system at hardware level remotely. User can login to portal to track the device and lock it using either NAT lock or Intel lock.

 

In Normal lock using Norton Anti-theft - the systems boots up and user is shown a lock screen rendered by NAT.

If the machine is activated for Intel Anti-theft technology , user can choose between NAT lock (soft lock) or a hardware lock using Intel AT.

If a machine is locked via Intel AT(from NAT portal), lock screen is displayed before the OS or any other component is loaded.

If Intel AT is enabled and used for locking the hard disk is protected and prevents from booting into any services, programs, or operating systems, even if the hard drive is replaced or reformatted.(even encrypted data access is disabled).

 

When the notebook is recovered, it can be restored to the state it was in before being disabled by Intel AT and removing the lock from the portal.

We have put forth the case to Intel team. We will keep you posted once we receive updates/resolution for the same.

Hello DaveH, thanks for replying.

 

What you are saying matches what I've been able to figure out earlier, but the real issue is that ghost is discontinued and we didn't get a copy in time.

 

You are saying SSR should be able to convert PQI files, I take it SSR is Symantec backup exec System Recovery? We do have a full version of this managing backups on our test systems, but the only conversion option I can find is from v2i to vmdk or vhd.

Is the PQI conversion cleverly hidden somewhere?

 

Thanks for helping

Hi Laurence,

 

                We understand your concerns. Since the Norton Utilities product runs as 32bit application in 64bit OS, it will not be able to interact with 64bit applications (like explorer.exe) and hence, drag and drop doesn’t work on 64bit OS. In the upcoming releases of Norton Utilities, we would be including the support for 64bit OS. Thanks for your understanding.

 

Regards,

Rajkumar

UPDATE:

I downloaded a trialversion of Symantec System Recovery 2013, this did indeed have an option for converting PQI to other formats, thanks alot DaveH this was just what I was looking for :)

I'm glad you found it.

Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR)  was renamed to Symantec System Recovery (SSR) a few years ago.

BESR should also have the same conversion function.  Just be aware that Bacup Exec System Recovery is different than Backup Exec.

 

I mention this because BESR 2010-2011 has a recovery disk based on Vista PE and SSR 2013 has a recovery disk based on windows 8 PE.

 

A windows 8 PE disk requires the system BIOS to support the "NX" or "no execute" bit for the CPU.

Older systems and some Virtual PC's do not support this.  I cannot boot a SSR 2013 on Microsoft Virtual PC or Windows Virtual PC (XP Mode). 

 

So keep that in mind for later, I find it a lot more convienient to backup my working VM's by booting to a recovery ISO and making an image onto a second attached VHD.  If your VM can't boot a recovery disk your only other option is to backup the entire virtual hard drive file and that takes a huge amont of space and take extra steps to roll back or recover a VM.

So after you convery some you may want to think about how your going to back them up and try test booting them with the SSR 2013 recovery disk or ISO.

 

Best of luck,

Dave

Norton DNS Check website no longer works correctly.

Recently Norton changed their DNS servers to connect safe.  I changed to the new IP which is  199.85.126.30 and 199.85.127.30.  I then went to http://setup.nortondns.com/ to see if it was working.  It told me that I failed the dns test.  Yet when I to  expo*****.***.jo to test it I see Norton's Connect Safe block page.  Is there a new page to test whether connect safe is working or do we need to wait for Norton to fix the current one?

After NU15 removal nothing goes into XP recycle bin!

Hello ALL:

 

I have a strange issue here. I run 32 bit XP and removed NU 15. I have the normal Windows Recycle Bin showing, but nothing seems to be going in it. Do I need to somehow reactivate it now that NU15 is uninstalled?
