VMWare Converter Handige Tips

Wat doe je allemaal nadat je een Server gevirtualiseerd (P2V) hebt.
Doe je het volgende:

De Lijst:
1. Installeer je VMware Tools.

2. Verwijder overbodige Software.

3. Stop on nodige services die niet meer gebruikt worden.

4. Open command prompt

5. Type “SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1″ en enter

6. “START DEVMGMT.MSC”

7. Wanneer je “Device Manager” open hebt ga je naar View en kies voor Show hidden Devices.

8. Verwijder alles wat licht gekleurd is.

Zo ontdoe je van alle oude hardware die tijdens de P2V mee genomen wordt.

Nu krijg je de melding niet dat er op een andere netwerk adapter een IP is ingesteld.

    SP2 voor Exchange 2007 wordt vrijgegeven in het derde kwartaal dit jaar

    SP2 voor Exchange 2007 komt in het derde kwartaal dit jaar.
    SP2 voor Exchange 2007 heb je nodig wil je upgraden naar Exchange 2010
    Mocht je de SP2 niet willen installeren er komen nog een jaar lang updates uit voor Exchange 2007 SP1 na de release van SP2.

    Hieronder de lijst met belangrijkste nieuwe functies in SP2:

  • Enhanced Auditing – New Exchange auditing events and audit log repository enable Exchange administrators to more easily audit the activities occurring on their Exchange servers. It allows the right balance of granularity, performance, and easy access to audited events via a dedicated audit log repository. This simplifies the auditing process and makes review of audited events easier by segregating audited events in a dedicated location.
  • Exchange Volume Snapshot Backup Functionality – A new backup plug-in has been added to the product that will enable customers to create Exchange backups when a backup is invoked through the Windows Server 2008 Backup tool. Exchange Server 2007 didn’t have this capability on Windows Server 2008 and additional solutions were required to perform this task.
  • Dynamic Active Directory Schema Update and Validation – The dynamic AD schema update and validation feature allows for future schema updates to be dynamic deployed as well as proactively preventing conflicts whenever a new property is added to the AD schema. Once this capability is deployed it will enable easier management of future schema updates and will prevent support issues when adding properties that don’t exist in the AD schema.
  • Public Folder Quota Management – SP2 enables a consistent way to manage quotas by improving the current PowerShell cmdlets to perform quota management tasks.
  • Centralized Organizational Settings – SP2 introduces new PowerShell option that enable centralized management of many of the Exchange organization settings.
  • Named Properties cmdlets – SP2 enables Exchange administrators to monitor their named property usage per database.
  • New User Interface for Managing Diagnostic Logging– SP2 enables Exchange administrators to easily configure and manage diagnostic logging from within the Exchange Management Console.

    De onthulling dat Windows 7 in het vierde kwartaal verschijnt, werd gedaan op de maandag begonnen Microsoft Tech Ed-conferentie te Los Angeles, aldus Microsofts Windows Blog. Een definitieve releasedatum werd nog niet bekent gemaakt. Hoewel al enige tijd wordt verwacht dat het nieuwe besturingssysteem in het najaar verschijnt.

    Hoge Beschikbaarheid in Exchange 2010

    Astrid McClean is een technische Product Manager in de Exchange-team. Een van haar taken is hoge beschikbaarheid van Exchange 2010. Het team heeft een aantal fundamentele veranderingen in de wijze van clustering is architected, geïmplementeerd en beheerd met Exchange 2010, en Astrid nam enige tijd in wandeling me door een aantal van de veranderingen.

      •    Server meerdere rollen naast elkaar kunnen bestaan op servers die een hoge beschikbaarheid.  Hierdoor kunnen kleine organisaties om een twee-server configuratie biedt volledige redundantie van gegevens mailbox, terwijl ook overbodig Client Access en Hub Transport diensten.

      •     Een beheerder niet langer nodig voor het bouwen van een failover-cluster met het oog op een hoge beschikbaarheid.  Failover clusters worden nu gemaakt door Exchange 2010 op een manier die is onzichtbaar voor de beheerder.  In tegenstelling tot eerdere versies van Exchange-clusters, die in een Exchange-voorwaarde cluster resource DLL vernoemd ExRes.dll, Exchange 2010 niet meer nodig of maakt gebruik van een cluster resource DLL.  Exchange 2010 maakt gebruik van slechts een klein gedeelte van de failover cluster componenten, te weten, haar hartslag vermogens en het cluster database, om in de database mobiliteit.

      •     Beheerders kunnen toevoegen hoge beschikbaarheid van hun Exchange-omgeving na Exchange 2010 is ingezet, zonder Exchange verwijderen en vervolgens opnieuw te implementeren in een zeer beschikbaarheid configuratie.

      •     Exchange 2010 biedt een weergave van het evenement stroom die de gebeurtenissen van het besturingssysteem met de gebeurtenissen van Exchange.

      •     Omdat opslag groep objecten die niet meer bestaan in Exchange 2010, en omdat mailbox databanken draagbare alle Exchange 2010 Mailbox servers, het is zeer gemakkelijk te verplaatsen databases als dat nodig is.
