Hyper-V VSS Writers Missing

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/3369d2e0-c5ef-47ed-aa75-862e17fd4e53

This is a known issue when orphaned configuration files or broken symbolic links exist.

To get around this you can try deleting the broken symbolic links:

Locate to the path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines\" (you need to enable the Show hidden files and folders). Compare each symbolic link (these .xml files are actually symbolic links) with your existing virtual machine, find out which .xml file is orphaned and then delete it. After this, restart the VMMS service.

Delete folder with long path

http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/jsifaq/jsi-tip-9651-how-can-i-delete-a-folder-that-returns-path-too-long-


When you attempt to delete a folder and receive PATH TOO LONG, you would normally Use the 8.3 short name, unless it has been disabled. Type dir /x . If the 8.3 path is too long, start renaming parent folders until the path is short enough.

I have scripted DelFolder.bat to delete a folder, even if the path is too long.

The syntax for using DelFolder.bat is:

DelFolder FolderPath

Where FolderPath is the path to the folder you wish to delete.

NOTE: DelFolder.bat uses RoboCopy.exe, which must be located in a folder that is in your PATH.

DelFolder.bat contains:

@echo off if {%1}=={}

@echo Syntax: DelFolder FolderPath&goto :EOF

if not exist %1 @echo Syntax: DelFolder FolderPath - %1 NOT found.&goto :EOF

setlocal

set folder=%1

set MT="%TEMP%\DelFolder_%RANDOM%"

MD %MT%

RoboCopy %MT% %folder% /MIR

RD /S /Q %MT%

RD /S /Q %folder%

endlocal

Set Home Folder Permissions

@echo off

:ok
set pf=%1
set dom=%2


for /F "Tokens=1" %%a in ('dir "E:\Users" /AD /B') do call :parse %%a
endlocal
GOTO :EOF

:parse
echo %*

ICACLS "E:\Users\%*" /reset /T
ICACLS "E:\Users\%*" /grant:r "domain.local\%*":(OI)(CI)F
ICACLS "E:\Users\%*" /setowner "domain.local\%*" /T

Exchange 2003 - ActiveSync Issue

Symptoms - activesync only displays emails when outlook or outlook webaccess is open

http://forums.precentral.net/wm-synchronization/109210-exchange-active-sync-hosed-2.html To ensure Outlook Mobile works with Active Synch without a front end Server do the following: 1. Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 2. Locate the Exchange virtual directory. The default location is as follows: Web Sites\Default Web Site\Exchange 3. Right-click the Exchange virtual directory, click All Tasks, and then click Save Configuration to a File. 4. In the File name box, type a name. For example, type ExchangeVDir. Click OK. 5. Right-click the root of this Web site. Typically, this is Default Web Site. Click New, and then click Virtual Directory (from file). 6. In the Import Configuration dialog box, click Browse, locate the file that you created in step 4, click Open, and then click Read File. 7. Under Select a configuration to import , click Exchange, and then click OK. A dialog box will appear that states that the "virtual directory already exists." 8. In the Alias box, type a name for the new virtual directory that you want Exchange ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access to use. For example, type exchange-oma. Click OK. 9. Right-click the new virtual directory. In this example, click exchange-oma. Click Properties. 10. Click the Directory Security tab. 11. Under Authentication and access control, click Edit. 12. Make sure that only the following authentication methods are enabled, and then click OK: • Integrated Windows authentication • Basic authentication 13. Under IP address and domain name restrictions, click Edit. 14. Click Denied access, click Add, click Single computer, type the IP address of the server that you are configuring, and then click OK. (If server has multiple IP Addresses, you must add all of them) 15. Under Secure communications, click Edit. Make sure that Require secure channel (SSL) is not enabled, and then click OK. 16. Click OK, and then close the IIS Manager. 17. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 18. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MasSync\Parameters 19. Right-click Parameters, click to New, and then click String Value. 20. Type ExchangeVDir, and then press ENTER. Right-click ExchangeVDir, and then click Modify. NoteExchangeVDir is case-sensitive. If you do not type ExchangeVDir exactly as it appears in this article, ActiveSync does not find the key when it locates the exchange-oma folder. 21. In the Value data box, type the name of the new virtual directory that you created in step 8. For example, type /exchange-oma. Click OK. 22. Quit Registry Editor. 23. Restart the IIS Admin service. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK. b. In the list of services, right-click IIS Admin service, and then click Restart. If you use Symantec Mail Security for Exchange, change the following tweak: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\VirusScan ProActiveScanning=1 Reference for solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817379/ http://discussion.treocentral.com/ar.../t-109210.html http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBC...tKB,CASE=43165 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/e.../bb288524.aspx

VMware Player vmnetcfg

VMware Player vmnetcfg

http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/32-vmware-player/64-vmware-player-vmnetcfg

Wednesday, 11 November 2009 21:37 | Written by Tony | | |

Recently I was using VMware Player 3 on my laptop but I was not able to get an IP address with Bridged Networking selected. Being a user of VMware products for many years, I knew there was a quick fix.

I navigated to the VMware Player directory to run vmnetcfg but it was not there. Unfortunately, the new version of VMware Player doesn’t include vmnetcfg in the installer anymore. Lucy for all of us, it is included in the installer.

To extract vmnetcfg.exe from the installer do the following:

1. Run the installer with /e option. For example:
VMware-player-3.0.0-197124.exe /e .\extract
Contents will be extracted to “extract” folder.
2. Open “network.cab” and copy vmnetcfg.exe to your installation folder,
typically “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Player\”.

Now you can run vmnetcfg to exclude network adapters from binding.

SBS 2008 - Cleanup Large Sharepoint Log files

http://smartbserver.net/2011/01/wss-db-large/
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000544



1. Connect to windows internal database by using SQL Management Studio Express. Use \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query as the database name.

2. Right click on sharepoint database > Properties. If you get an error message saying insufficient rights, run the query below to set the owner

Use [SharePoint_Config_*********]
go
exec sp_changedbowner 'domain\administrator'

3. In properties > options, change database recovery model from full to simple.

4. Right click on the database and click on new query. paste the commands below and execute.

declare @ConfigDB varchar(255);
declare @ConfigDBLog varchar(255);
declare @ConfigDBCmd varchar(255);
select @ConfigDB = name from sys.databases where name like 'SharePoint_Config_%';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP database [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] to disk=''C:\windows\temp\before.bkf''';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@COnfigDB) + ']';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP LOG [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@COnfigDB) + ']';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
select @ConfigDBLog = name from sys.database_files where name like 'SharePoint_Config%_log';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] DBCC SHRINKFILE([' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '_log],1)';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP database [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] to disk=''C:\windows\temp\after.bkf''';
execute(@ConfigDBCmd);
go

This script will create two backup files (before.bkf and after.bkf) in C:\windows\temp.

SBS on HyperV and BackupExec

I have been doing some research on running virtual SBS 2008/2011 Premium (SBS + SQL ) for small clients and still have backups to tape – Single server solution. SCSI tape device pass-through is known to cause a few issues on VMWare.

 

Traditionally you cannot install backup exec for SBS on a standard windows server. Symantec have fixed this issue starting with Backupexec 2010 R2 as long as you have SBS on a guest VM. You can install backupexec on the HyperV parent partition (Windows 2008 R2 Server) and configure backups to tape.
