comment Is it possible to restore a backup of a physical machine to a machine with disparate hardware?
Symantec Backup Exec was going to be my answer. We tested it at work and it went flawlessly. Was hilarious to see a decommissioned server running on an HP laptop.

comment Clone workstation for quick deploy?
Ditto Clonezilla. You actually don't need to worry about sysprep. Just realize that you will have to change machine after first boot. Also you will have join to domain after first boot, so do not join the machine to domain before you create the image. But Clonezilla works exactly like Ghost just that it is free and easier to use for basic image building and restore.

Thanks for the answers, but I solved my problem. Check out the comments above.

comment Why Would one VLAN have no Communication on one Switch?
Daisy Chaining switches is a horrible idea because if the first switch in the chain goes out, all the rest do too. The switch doesn't even have to die, there are others scenarios as well. Not to mention it makes troubleshooting so much more difficult. If you need to track down a troublesome client it can take longer and be more difficult since that client MAC will exist on every access layer switch in the chain. Yes it is more expensive to have a hierarchical model, but there are huge payoffs to having it. Very few professional networks are daisy chained and there is a reason for that.

Config of VLAN on both ends was fine. The issue was we have switches daisy chained and I forgot about this, I'm new to this facility, and one of the down stream switches wasn't trunking the VLAN. Another reason to NEVER daisy chain switches together.

comment How to Enable Ports 25 - 28 on a Cisco Catalyst 3750
Could also do "sh int status" for a quick view look at all interfaces. But Massimo hit the nail on the head with his answer.

comment Cisco 877 as a VPN server?
Starting on pg. 69 of that document in the second link should be what you need. The first 7 bullets should all be done on the server or head end, the last bullet would be what you do on the client. At least that is how I read the document. If you do not want to take down your 877 while attempting this configuration you could try dynagen.org and see if it works in that environment. If so then just apply same commands to your setup.

comment Cisco 877 as a VPN server?
Did you read any of the links I had in my answer? The first two are probably the only ones you need in this case and should still be exactly what you need. The second link is a PDF from Cisco that tells you how to setup an 877 as the head end? I'm not sure how to provide a better answer than those links...
