From the Sigcheck website, “Sigcheck is a command-line utility that shows file version number, time stamp information, and digital signature details, including certificate chains. It also includes an option to check a file’s status on VirusTotal, a site that performs automated file scanning against over 40 antivirus engines, and an option to upload a file for scanning.” It runs on XP/2003 and higher versions of Windows.

Download sigcheck and unzip to a location of your choice. Run the commands below to get a feel for the output. When the command prompt returns, open the file in Excel, Calc or your favorite spreadsheet program. The Verified column will show “signed” or “unsigned.”

1) The following command scans executables only, shows extended version information, recurses sub-directories in c:\windows\system32 and writes the output to a file called sigcheck-Win7.csv.
> sigcheck -e -a -s -c c:\windows\system32 > sigcheck-Win7.csv

2) To run a check through VirusTotal, add the -v option. Note that when using the Virustotal option it may take 20 minutes or more to complete.
> sigcheck -e -a -s -v -c c:\windows\system32 > sigcheck-Win7-virustotal.csv

New NetApp Releases:

SnapManager for Hyper-V v2.0.2
SnapManager for Hyper-V provides a solution for data protection and recovery for Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs) running on Data ONTAP. You can perform application-consistent and crash-consistent dataset backups according to protection policies set by your backup administrator. You can also restore VMs from these backups. Reporting features enable you to monitor the status of and get detailed information about your backup and restore jobs.
SnapManager 2.0.2 for Hyper-V includes the following new features:
1) Support for Windows Server 2012 R2

SnapDrive for Linux, Solaris x86 and SPARC v5.2.1
SnapDrive for UNIX enables you to manage Snapshot copies and to automate storage provisioning tasks. It also helps you in recovering data if it is accidentally deleted or modified.
SnapDrive 5.2.1 for Linux supports the following new features:
1) Paravirtual SCSI controlled devices (PVSCSI) on Linux guest operating systems.
2) Allows to override the SnapMirror or SnapVault existence check, which is one of the mandatory checks performed during volume-based SnapRestore (VBSR) using configuration variables in Data ONTAP operating in 7-mode.

For Solaris:
1) Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network File System (NFS), in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later.
2) Allows to override the SnapMirror or SnapVault existence check, which is one of the mandatory checks performed during volume-based SnapRestore (VBSR) using configuration variables in Data ONTAP operating in 7-mode.
Solaris x86:

Solaris SPARC:

NFS Plug-in for VMware VAAI v1.0.21
The plug-in runs on the ESXi host and takes advantage of enhanced storage features offered by VMware vSphere. On the NetApp storage system, the NFS vStorage feature must be enabled for the ESXi host to take advantage of VMware VAAI. The plug-in performs NFS-like remote procedure calls (RPCs) to the server, using the same credentials as that of an ESXi NFS client. This means that the plug-in requires no additional credentials and has the same access rights as the ESXi NFS client.
New in this release:
1) IPv6 support in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.1 or later, and Data ONTAP 8.1.1 or later operating in the 7-Mode storage system

SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange v6.1
1) SnapManager 6.1 for Microsoft Exchange includes several new features and enhancements:
2) SnapManager 6.1 for Exchange supports clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
3) SnapManager 6.1 for Exchange supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 only.
4) SnapManager 6.1 for Exchange supports Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 only.
5) Gapless backup support on DAG systems has been improved from three nodes to nine nodes.
6) UTM retention can be triggered independently from backup retention.
7) When specifying backup options, the backup retention setting for remote backups now applies to the selected management group.

VSC for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization v1.0
Virtual Storage Console (VSC) for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) software is a single plug-in that provides storage controller configuration, Network File System (NFS)-based storage domain management (provisioning, deduplication, resizing, and destruction), and virtual machine (VM) cloning for RHEV environments with storage domains backed by NetApp storage systems.
