hi, I am experimenting with the deployment role in WIN2008 R2. It is easy to deploy an OS to a client since it is already a wim file. But how do you deploy an exe drivers file to a client?
I am running Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
When I add my exchange account to Outlook, it seems to work perfectly (sending/receiving email, syncing everything), but when I open the account settings it has the following set as the Server:
[email protected]
I would have expects this to be: mail.domain.com since this is the DNS A record pointing to the IP of my server. Where is it getting this server name?
Using an ATI firepro 4800 card, with three monitors connected (1 dvi, 2 displayport) on Server 2008 R2 worked fine.
Ive now moved to a new machine, although identical spec, with a fresh Server 2012 install, and cannot get a three display output - only two.
When I try to extend the display on to the third monitor, I get the message "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings"
The machine is a Dell Precision T1600.
Any help appreciated.
I would like to setup Windows Server 2008 R2 using RemoteFX at home, for a couple of users to all use the server (instead of buying each user a seperate computer).
I have been trying to find what processors (Intel based) that support the SLAT that is apparently needed to run RemoteFX. I currently have a computer that has an i3 processor, but after testing it shows that it will not support it.
Does anyone know which processors from Intel do support this?
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 on my machine which stores everything on the C: drive (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA). I got an additional Hard Drive now and would like to move all the databases over.
It's 26 databases, so I'd like to avoid manually disconnecting/reconnecting them. Ideally I would just like to move them from C: and D: and tell SQL Server to look there.
Downtime is not an issue, I just don't want to do dozens of mouse clicks :)
I have set up a windows 2008 R2 server to route email from Exchange 2010 using SMTP Server in IIS.
I have 3 seperate domains and would like to route each one through a different internal and external IP for (IP Reputation etc), at the minute it is only using the primary IP on the server to route email externally.
Is this at all possible using SMTP Server in IIS, or is there any other software available to do this?
Hi all,
On my Windows 2008 R2 server with IIS 7.5 I would like to have my ASP.NET website running with forms authentication, while protecting a subfolder with the basic Windows authentication. I have done this on Windows 2003 with IIS 6 for years, but I simply can't get it to work with IIS 7.5. Your input would be highly appreciated :)
Hoping someone can help - is there a way in SQL server management studio 2008 R2 that I can alias a linked SQL server?
I have a server, added by IP address, to which I do not have the login credentials - however as the connection is already setup I can login ok.
Issue is that, this is a dev environment, prior to a live deployment and the IP I have as a linked server needs to be 'accessible' by my stored procs under a different name, eg 'myserver' not 192.168.xxx.xxx...
Any help much appreciated.
This application is stored locally from our company image we are testing, but our users are using roaming profiles and each time they log in to a different computer or the main computer they work on iTunes keeps asking them to accept the licensing agreement. Is there anyway to keep this agreement from coming up since they are not storing this information in their profile or on the computer locally?
All the computers are on Windows 7 and we run a Server 2008 R2 Domain.
Hi, I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am looking for a free tool.
I start a number of batch jobs running inside command prompt. I want to shrink them significantly, so that I can see the Window titles only. I usually shrink them by hand and move them to another monitor.
I am looking for a tool that can do that work for me as soon as certain apps start up.
Thanks!
We have a Dell 2950 with PERC and 14 external SAS 15K 73GB drives. An Oracle database job takes 3 hours to run with the drives set as hardware RAID 10 (striped across 7 mirrored pairs). The same job with the drives in RAID 1 takes only 1 hour. OS is Win 2008 R2 I think.
Before we change the RAID level (with considerable downtime) on the production box, does anyone know why we're seeing this odd result, and if there's a better way to fix it?
I've got a computer running under the OS "Window Server 2008 R2" on which i have :
60GB disk C: NTFS (Disk 0)
40GB unallocated memory (Disk 1)
I would like to partition my disk so that i'll have :
30GB disk C:
70GB disk D:
Can you help me on the step i should do to be abble to have this configuration ?
I saw that first of all i should merge the two volumes into one, but when i click right on the c: Volume, i can't click on the "Extend Volume" link. Do you know how i can overcome this ?
Thanks a lot
When I SSH into a Windows 2008 R2 box and try to run a command with switches like /cygdrive/c/directory/Reports.exe /ReportID=1 /DateRange=LastWeek the command just hangs and never finishes. I can see the Reports.exe spawn a process under the user but never finishes. If I RDP into the box open cygwin terminal and run the exact command it works.
Any reason why I can't run the command when I SSH in?
I have a Lenovo W500, which has dual boot.
When I boot into Windows 2008 R2 and connect to an external screen or projector, the keyboard locks. Sometimes it is just a few of the keys, sometimes keys start different programs.
I do not have this problem if I boot with windows 7. I have run windows update, but it did not help.
On Windows Server 2008 R2 I have several web applications on IIS7. One of these applications has https binding with SSL certificate.
However after every windows update this one application stops working. Browser says that server is unavailable. It starts working again when I simply open IIS manager, select that https binding, click edit and without changing anything click OK.
Why is this happening?
I'm setting up a log collection server for my Windows network (about 30 servers ranging from 2003 to 2008 R2, and about 300 vista/7 clients), and I was wondering which logs are good to collect and which ones are a waste of time. I'm going to collect the obvious ones (system, security, event, firewall, and role specific logs) but are there any others I should be worried about? I'm using Splunk if that helps answer the question.
We are setting up a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain. When we create a user within AD, the checkbox labeled "User cannot change password" in the Account tab is unchecked for every user we create. Can this be changed so for each user we create this is checked by default?
Client OS - Window XP
Domain Controller:- Window server 2008 Standard R2
I had one Window XP system, i want to find out when the system has started or boot ( at what time and at which date ). I don't know which parameter / word should i search in Event Log.
For finding out shutdown time, i simply find the word "Shutdown" in Event Log.
Can you guide me which word should i find for finding Start up or boot time
I need to receive SMTP mail and pipe it to a program. Can the IIS SMTP server deliver mail to a script or program?
I've looked on 2008 R2, but don't see an option for this.
my friend's company has a win2008 server, not R2, and it's really slow, it has 8G ram, has a SAP business one running on it, and it's also an AD, DHCP, DNS server, has Kaspersky 6 AV running as well. CPU usage is constantly 100%, physical memory is around 70%-90% even close everything, disable AV, if check processes, taskmgr.exe and windows explorer use like 40% each sometimes, do you have any suggestion what could be
We have to replace our server (2003-based), and we was thinking that it's time to switch to Windows 2008 r2.
Then i saw this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753473.aspx
We only need IIS, no ftp/email/AD required
It looks like IIS in Win7 and Win2008r2 it's almost the same.
How do you think about Windows 7 as a web server?
There are some "hidden" limitations? We could even save a lot of money.
i just setup a windows 2008R2 standard server, with the only installed app being Hyper-V, and only 1 windows XP VM is running. Whenever i try to copy a file from my windows 7 laptop over to the 2008R2 server machine's admin shares ( \\servername\c$ ) the files start transferring around 60mb/s and then drop to around 5mb/s. My windows 7 machine and the server 2008 machine are both in WORKGROUP (no domain here). when i try the same transfer to our server 2003 box the transfer speeds are fine.
tried disabling autotuning (netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled)
as well as turning off the checksum offload to the adapter (tx and rx) - i still see strange packet errors (bad header checksum) using wireshark and just cannot seem to track down what the issue is - over 1 hour to transfer 4gb of files from 1 server to another that are on the same GB switch is just crazy....
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I have an existing Exchange 2003 server running on Windows Server 2003. I am in the process of replacing our current server infrastructure and virtualizing it all in Hyper-V.
I have Essential Business Server 2008 installed in 3 separate VMs and running. Everything seems to be working fine so far.
I am now trying to migrate my exchange mailboxes over to the new exchange server in the messaging server and every time I try I get this error:
MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make admin interface connection to server. (hr=0x80040115, ec=-2147221227)
I have done some searching and found solutions like adding the computer to the exchange domain servers groups and install group, also making sure the user logged into the new server is in the proper groups. I also saw a solution in making sure that any unused NICs are disabled. I've tried all that to no avail.
Here is the scenario: I have 2 Exchange Server 2010 on 2 different Virtual Machines, created by and based on Hyper-V. They have IP and domain: 192.168.5.11, domainA.com ; and 192.168.5.12, domainB.com respectively.
The problem is, I only have 1 public IP, say 123.123.1.1 . How do I configure the settings so that I can successfully receive emails using both Exchange servers?
Given that I cannot use single Exchange server for multiple domains.
-- UPDATE --
To clarify, the domainA.com and domainB.com mentioned above are website domains, instead of multiple Active Directory forests. Users of the two Exchange Server shares the same Active Directory. I know that ONE Exchange Server can handle multiple domains, but I would like to separate them into different Virtual Machines, for load balancing and data separation.
For those that don't know, CPU parking is a feature in recent Windows Server releases that allows Windows to pretty much drop a CPU core to zero use, and having nothing use it. It's been introduced as a power-saving measure. There's more detail about it here, amongst other places.
However what I'm curious about is whether this matter on a virtualised guest - or is CPU parking more of a hindrance than a help, given that the physical CPUs are managed by ESXi, not Windows, and that a parked CPU is less likely to deal with traffic unless the scheduler deems there's enough work to unpark the CPU?
I've not found anything about this - I do suspect it will be very much based on a given workload, but I've not seen any discussion (unlike, say, whether hyper-threading has any effect, which seems to be discussed regularly). Whilst I do understand the "test with your workload" I was wondering if there was any advice/guidelines out there that I've missed.
