Windows Server 2008 Backup and RD1000

Scenario: I have a Brand New Dell Poweredge Server with SBS2011. The server has a RD1000 SATA Cartridge Unit.

The total disk capacity of server is nearly 1TB (divided in two partititions), but actual data occupies about 222 GB.

The SATA Disk Cartridges are 300GB.

Problems, problems, everywhere (and not any hint to solve):

SBS Backup does not recognize the RD1000 both as a Disk Unit and as a network share (bah...), but I found that if you launch the Windows Server Backup outside from the SBS Console you can reach the RD1000 Network Share.

Wow! But... when I try to Schedule the backup through the wizard it analyzes the destination drive and aborts with message "Not enough space". It seems that the backup will need 400(!)GB.

That does not match with the data size! And I think that even if Bare Metal support needs some extra files that can not be so big.

Solution: Scheduling a batch ignores that destination size check. I'm saving the data on the RD1000 using the following batch:

WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:\\server\rd1000  -include:c:,d:  -allCritical -vssFull -quiet >> C:\Batch\Backuplog.txt 

I've tried a restore through the console and it seems to be able to restore individual files and exchange and sharepoint applications.

Firefox and nternet Explorer extremely slow on HP USB docking station

Symptom: You are using a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and a HP USB 2.0 Docking Station. Your IE9 and/or Firefox experience is dramatic.

Cause: The problem is not in the browser software but in the Display Link Driver.

With the USB docking station comes the driver 5.4, which has a very poor performance.

Resolution: Upgrade to latest Display Link Drivers directly from Display Link Inc. (as for 07/09/2011 is ver. 5.6) .

Error re(installing) certificate services

Symptom: When you try to install certificate services over a Windows 2003 Server you get the following error

An error was detected while configuring Certificate Services. The Certificate Services Setup Wizard will need to be rerun to complete the configuration. Certificate Services Setup failed with the following error: A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on. 0x8007041b (WIN32: 1051)

Solution: Windows setup tries to Stop the IIS Admin Service, but it fails. Manually Stop this service prior to the installation.

Note: This happened to me because of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

Outlook 2010 missing features

Cause: You install Outlook 2010 "standalone" in a computer with a previous version of Office installed / you upgrade only the Outlook program of your Office suite.

Symptom: Some features of Outlook 2010 are missing, and the corresponding configuration options and/or buttons are disabled or greyed out.

Workarounds: I found this interesting article over the web suggesting some workarounds.

Many thanks to the authors (but I'd preferred them not to be sarcastic over searching the web before purchasing).

Chi ha lasciato il bilanciamento del bianco impostato manualmente?

Sono molte le coppie che condividono la passione per la fotografia.

Tuttavia non sempre è possibile, per ragioni di costo e di spazio, avere un corpo macchina SLR digitale per ciascuno.

In questo caso sarebbe auspicabile che i produttori di macchine fotografiche digitali, che ora integrano diversi dispositivi nelle fotocamere, come ad esempio il ricevitore gps per geotaggare le foto, includessero anche un lettore di impronte digitali.

Una volta registrata l'impronta (volendo anche tramite un computer dotato anch'esso di lettore) la fotocamera potrebbe registrare anche l'autore nelle metainformazioni del file immagine: e fine delle discussioni sull'autore del capolavoro.

Inoltre la macchina potrebbe ricordarsi come era impostata l'ultima volta che è stata utilizzata da quell'utente, un po' come fanno certe autovetture di fascia alta che una volta riconosciuto il guidatore regolano automaticamente altezza dei sedili e posizione degli specchietti . Ogni fotografo ha le sue abitudini ed i suoi trucchi, e così avrebbero fine anche le discussioni per aver lasciato il bilanciamento del bianco manuale o una sovraesposizione d'abitudine.

Non è possibile creare una regola di trasporto disclaimet in Exchange Server 2010

Sintomi:

Quando si cerca di aggiungere una regola di trasporto di tipo disclaimer ad Exchange Server 2010 sp1 la MMC va in crash con il seguente errore:

FX:{A5406CA3-6393-48a0-8827-CF06F0C94C55}

in Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Internal.SnapInMessagePumpProxy.OnThreadException(Object sender, ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)

in System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.OnThreadException(Exception t)

in System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProcException(Exception e)

in System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)

in System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

Workaround:

Seguendo le istruzioni nelle seguenti pagine web è possibile creare la regola tramite Exchange Management Shell e poi modificarla tramite MMC.

L'unico accorgimento da prendere in aggiunta a tale articolo è che ho messo a false la proprietà abilitato.

New-TransportRule -Name ExternalDisclaimer -Enabled $false -SentToScope 'NotInOrganization' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation 'Append' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText "

Disclaimer Title

This is the disclaimer text.
