Microsoft Exchange Standard or Enterprise?

Q: How can I determine whether my server is running Exchange Server 2003, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition? A: Open the Exchange Server Setup Progress.log file, which is located on the root of your system drive. Search for one of the following entries: [16:53:50] Setup configuration information: -- ID:62227 -- [16:53:50] This is a(n) Standard version of Microsoft Exchange Server -- ID:62232 -- or [16:53:50] Setup configuration information: -- ID:62227 -- [16:53:50] This is a(n) Enterprise version of Microsoft Exchange Server -- ID:62232 -- One of these entries indicates your Exchange Server version.

Remote admin for WSUS 3.0

In the previous version of SUS Server, to remotely administrating the server is using the web browser into that server by url http://winsusserver/WSUSAdmin/. However, this feature is no longer available for WSUS 3.0. Alternatively, just run the WSUS install on remote computers and choose to install the Administrative Console Only. You will need to run this applications as an admin..

Backup Type

Full Backup When you set the Backup Type setting to Full, all the files and folders on the drive are backed up every time you use that file set. Advantages: • All files from the selected drives and folders are backed up to one backup set. • In the event you need to restore files, they are easily restored from the single backup set. Disadvantages: • A full backup is more time consuming than other backup options. • Full backups require more disk, tape, or network drive space. Incremental Backup An incremental backup provides a backup of files that have changed or are new since the last incremental backup. To start the process, a file set with the incremental option selected is used to perform a backup. You can select the backup type by clicking Options on the Settings menu, and then clicking the Backup tab. For the first incremental backup, all files in the file set are backed up (just as in a full backup). If you use the same file set to perform a incremental backup later, only the file

Change Owner and Registered User in WinXP

Create one registery file. eg. owner.reg type in these words... into owner.reg REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "RegisteredOrganization"="My Father's Company" "RegisteredOwner"="It Is Me" save this file. double click this file to execute. Click ok if the system ask you whether you want to confirm. Otherwise, just click no if you're not sure. alternatively, you can run this command: regedit /s owner.reg

MBR (Master Boot Record)

The MBR is the Master Boot Record. The MBR is a small program which runs whenever a computer boots up. The MBR is stored in the first sector of the boot disk. The boot disk may be a hard drive, a floppy drive, or even a CD or DVD drive. The Task of the MBR The normal job of the MBR program is to search the partition table for the active partition, copy the boot sector from the active partition into memory, and transfer control over to that program. If the MBR cannot accomplish this task successfully, it will print one of these error messages: Invalid partition table Error loading operating system Missing operating system The MBR and Boot Sector Viruses Some boot sector viruses overwrite the MBR. If you believe this has happened to one or more of your disk, run an anti-virus tool to clean your disks. FDISK /MBR Under DOS and early versions of Microsoft Windows, it was possible to use the `FDISK /MBR` command to repair the MBR. Unfortunately, FDISK was not terribly intelligent about the

HBA

A HBA, or Host Bus Adapter, is the interface card which connects a host to a SAN (Storage Area Network). A HBA could be more accurately referred to as a "Host I/O controller".

Imports and exports data from Active Directory

I use this command to get all users information from my domain (spsb.net.my) in one of the OU (head quarters). The output file would be user-hq-ou.csv. csvde -f user-hq-ou.csv -d "OU=head quarters,DC=spsb,DC=net,DC=my" -r (objectClass=user) The full explanation is as follows: Csvde Imports and exports data from Active Directory using files that store data in the comma-separated value (CSV) format. You can also support batch operations based on the CSV file format standard. Syntax csvde [ -i ] [ -f FileName ] [ -s ServerName ] [ -c String1 String2 ] [ -v ] [ -j Path ] [ -t PortNumber ] [ -d BaseDN ] [ -r LDAPFilter ] [ -p Scope ] [ -l LDAPAttributeList ] [ -o LDAPAttributeList ] [ -g ] [ -m ] [ -n ] [ -k ] [ -a UserDistinguishedName Password ] [ -b UserName Domain Password ] Parameters -i Specifies import mode. If not specified, the default mode is export. -f FileName Identifies the import or export file name. -s ServerN

Network Connections Type

ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) - the protocol used to "gather" DSL traffic from users and forward it to a DSLAM, which consolidates traffic across the backbone network. Carries data in fixed-length frames of 53 bytes each. ATU-C (ADSL Termination Unit - Central Office) - the downstream channel. ATU-R (ADSL Termination Unit - Remote) - the upstream channel. CAP (carrierless amplitude/phase modulation) - the original ADSL modulation approach in which the signal frequency range is divided into voice (0-4 KHz), upstream data, and downstream data. DMT (discrete multitone) is now the preferred modulation alternative over CAP. CDSL (Consumer DSL) - a trademarked version of DSL from Rockwell that is somewhat slower than ADSL (1 Mbps downstream, probably less upstream) but has the advantage that a "splitter" does not need to be installed at the user's end. CDSL uses its own carrier technology rather than DMT or CAP ADSL technology. DMT (Discrete Multito
