Hi folks,

If you are monitoring your Exchange Server environment and you have Windows Server 2003 for your CCR/SCC, it's recommended to disable the Event Log replication between (if it's a CCR)/among (if it's a SCC) the nodes to avoid duplicate entries on your monitoring tool.

To disable the event log replication just run this following command on any node:

Cluster /prop EnableEventLogReplication=0

Hi folks,

Today's post we are going over the process to move a mailbox using Exchange Server 2010 Management Console. This post scenario is a simple move mailbox between 2 servers in the same Exchange organization.

In this post I will be demonstrating the technical steps involved in the process in a future post we will be explaining the architecture of the process.

Let's right click on the desired and then let's click on New Local Move Request...

Click on Browse and select the destination Mailbox Database and click on Next.

In the Move Options page we can define if we are going to accept some corrupted messages during the transfer and how many before cancelling the operation. By default if there is any corrupted message the operation is cancelled.

On the New Local Move Request page, just click on New.

On the completion page if everything was fine you will receive a message like this one shown in the figure below.

If the mailbox is in the Move Request list the mailbox icon will be different as shown in the figure below.

We can check que Move Request double clicking on the move request entry that is listed under Move Request item, as shown in the figure below.

If you double click on the move request, you can see a summary of the operation.

Cleaning up the Move Request...

After moving the mailbox we need to clean up the move request before moving the mailbox again. The process is really simple, just go to Move Request item on the left, and right-click on the entry and click on Clear Move Request...

A dialog box will ask for confirmation, just click on Yes.

Cheers,
Anderson Patricio

Prior to the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco later this month, the Geeknet network has provided statistics around how Windows plays in the broader Open Source ecosystem.

The amount of Open Source Software (OSS) that is Windows compatible has been steadily climbing over time, from 72 percent in early 2005 to some 82 percent in late 2009. This means that some 350,000 Open Source projects are now Windows compatible, out of a total of about 433,000 Open Source projects.

This growth mirrors Microsoft's increased engagement with Open Source Software, with increased participation in open source projects, supporting open source applications on its platforms and even using open source code in some of its products.

The Geeknet team will be available to discuss this, and other data in greater depth at their Birds of a Feather lunch discussion at OSBC on Wednesday March 17, between 12:30p and 2:00p.

 For more information, visit Geeknet at OSBC 2010, by Scott Collison.

A new version of the Productivity Hub SharePoint Server site collection and two new content packs are now available for download! The new content covers Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, and various Office products.

The v2 Productivity Hub does not have any new functionality, so if you have already installed the Hub there is no reason to download the v2. The new version removes the orange and blue branding colors to make it easier to customize for your intranet, and adds all the products in a fly-out navigation. The v2 Hub has all content up to date added, with the exception of the new March content.

So regardless of whether you upgrade the core Hub or not, you should install the new March content packs (also available as part of the Productivity Hub download).

So here as I sit typing Brian Madden is in front of me, filming one of my other colleagues, Eric Schroeder talk about installing the Microsoft VDI solution as part of the Brian Madden VDI shootout. We have been here all day, talking about the architecture and getting the servers up and running. A second ago I was up with Brian whiteboarding out the architecture. It should be pretty cool to see!

Its important to note that the Microsoft VDI solution is based on two core platforms: Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. Remote Desktop Services was updated to support both the Session Host (previously the Terminal Server sessions) and new support for VDI instances. One of the areas that are commonly discussed in VDI, which Brian was also discussing with us, is an important decision in the choice for pooled vs personal virtual desktops (PVD). I think that the scenarios for pooled are pretty much the same as the scenarios for Remote Desktops Services Session Host (previously Terminal Server). I also think that pooled generally isnt as good as RDS - but I do like PVD. Heres why.

Pooled 

Pooled VDI can be expensive and painful. Session Host actually does a LOT better in the exact same scenarios as pooled VDI. Why?

Session Host servers are (usually) centrally managed. That means they can be updated like any other server and downtime managed appropriately. The tools required to update those servers are the same tools as you update your clients with, like the System Center family of tools. This means you dont have to think about how you manage that infrastructure separately to VDI infrastructure. With Session Host, you also get 2:1 user scale over VDI - so that means the CapEx and OpEx is much lower too and now that we have included App-V into the RDS CAL it means that app issues that previously affected density and compatibility are largely solved.

Pooled VDI typically utilizes a single master image and differencing disks linked from the master. These are then snapshotted back to the original state after the user logs off. It also means you absolutely must have good user state management and application management too. The promise though for it is that by updating the one single master image, you wont need management tools. The problem though is that it ignores a significant fact. It assumes that its the only technology deployed! The reality is that businesses will continue to use rich desktops and server infrastructure in combination with VDI and Sessions - that means management is still relevant except in this pooled model, you have to manage the pooled VDI separately to the way you manage your desktops, laptops and servers. That means pooled VDI generally does not integrate into your existing management tooling which by extension means extra work for just another delivery model for Windows desktops.

That said, Microsoft can support a pooled solution for VDI, though it really doesnt make a lot of good sense when Session host does so much better for the majority of instances and is cheaper in just about every way.

PVD

What you will see great support for from Microsoft in Windows Server 2008 R2 is for PVD. Our provisioning works really well here with SCVMM. It integrates nicely with Active Directory.

The scenarios are also clearly split out from RDS Session hosts too. Typically users requiring a PVD, are knowledge workers that requires high levels of personalization and isolation, and in some cases administrative access - which essentially delivers an experience akin to a physically installed desktop or laptop. Note that these are the very things that Pooled doesnt do well also!

On the upside for choosing PVD, is that it integrates into your current management infrastructure. That means any updates you send out, apply equally to your desktops, laptops and VDI instances. By extension that means leveraging your current single point of infrastructure management and therefore reduced TCO.

What this means

Microsoft does a really strong integrated solution with the VDI Suite delivered on the base platform of Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 to support a variety of use cases and scenarios that are better delivered with a combination of PVD and Session Host, rather than PVD and Pooled.

Session Host is cheaper to acquire and cheaper to manage than pooled and for the use cases that require higher levels of personalization and isolation you can add VDI instances and support the whole thing through the same connection broker, web access, protocol and gateway - and the user gets the right experience you give them, sessions or VDI desktops through that same single delivery infrastructure. Best integrated and managed solution at the best price.

Thats pretty compelling dont you think?

Now better get back to the filming...

Stop Press!: Update: Brian just said that he has already coined a term for this. Its what he calls the Maddens Paradox. I think that may mean he agrees :)

The Parallels Summit 2010 in Miami was a great event – good content, conversations and all of the SMB hosting industry leaders were in attendance.  In the 11+ years, I have been in the hosted infrastructure business, this is only the second time when all of the indicators are moving in the right direction.  Back in the late 1990’s you could not – NOT be successful as a hoster.  Now, in 2010 – all of the hosting providers that are succeeding are transitioning to a strategy of higher margin - applications and application management AND at the same time launching the next generation of higher margin cloud infrastructure services.  We are an industry that is going through a rapid transformation.

John Zanni’s keynote: “The New Face of Hosting” was a great overview of the state of the market, end-customer perception of a hosters role and how key decisions and people at several hosting companies are succeeding during this transition.  John started by presenting some research that demonstrates that the market is growing.  Not only are agile small businesses increasing their revenue during the Great Recession but they are waking up to the fact that IT is not a core function does not need to be completely on-site.  A recent survey by Microsoft found that 65% of SMBs are already using Software as a Service (SaaS).  SMBs that are not using SaaS saw a 44% increase in their consideration of outsourcing applications with a total of 73%. 

Now many SMBs are exploring web-based services beyond simply using a vendor for sales lead management or online banking services to increase employee productivity and cut costs.  These are the applications which naturally fall into the realm of the hoster.  From hosted email, to wireless communications enablement, to online collaboration services for business users.  The Microsoft solutions in these areas are perfect for helping businesses achieve these goals.  Hosted Exchange, Wireless Access to Enterprise – Class Email and Hosted SharePoint are easy services for hosting companies to get involved in.  Whether deployed in the hoster data center or re-sold through a reseller, hosters that offer these applications are deepening their relationship with their customer.  John Zanni said that some hosters are doing both – a combination or reselling hosted Microsoft Communication services and also hosting it themselves.

John’s central theme of “Key Value Add, Provide Services that Interact, Leverage Existing Investments, Scale up and down and Platform selection” are the key tenants for any successful hosting provider.  Today’s model is far removed from the past – offering just servers or just Web hosting is not sustainable.  Relationships matter.  Businesses want solutions not technology.  Hosting providers that are growing today are considered by their resellers or end-customers as business solutions providers – not technology providers.  John encouraged the audience to think about how their offerings could seamlessly work together as a platform to enable the ultimate offering.  The magic of the Microsoft platform is the seamless offering – Websites and Web Applications which interact with Hosted services like Exchange, SharePoint and the Hosted Dynamics suites.  With integrated offerings – focused on solving business issues, a reseller or hosting provider will quickly be considered a “trusted advisor” and not a vendor with a monthly bill.

In summary, John said: “Help your customer’s move to the cloud in a way that makes them comfortable” and “….focus on providing value to your customer”.  I think the overall theme of the keynote was: it’s not a technology sell – it’s a about helping the reseller or end-customer aligning their business processes and technology platforms to build profit through operational efficiency.  Therefore, hosting providers that make this transition will grow rapidly as the economic conditions improve.

Delegation is a great new feature in Project Server 2010 that allows one user to allow others to act on their behalf.  Very useful when a Project Manager is going to be out of town and doesn’t want to have to re-set the status manager for all her owned tasks just so someone else can action updates – instead she just sets a delegate and they can work as if they were the Project Manager.  Works across all features – so can be used for timesheets, or even administrative functions.  I’m sure there will be plenty of posts going in to the details but wanted to describe how this works for both new instances of Project Server 2010 as well as upgraded 2007 instances

This is pretty powerful and for new Project Server 2010 instances the default behavior is that Administrators can manage resource delegates – so they can set up delegates for any user on the system.  So if they navigate to the Manage Delegates option (under the new Personal Settings on the left navigation – or site map) and click New they will see all the users who can be a delegate if they click the Browse button next to Set Delegate, and they will see ALL users if they click Browse next to the Working on Behalf Of.

However, we have taken the design decision that this is quite a dramatic new feature for existing 2007 users, so the default if you have upgraded a PWA instance from 2007 is that Administrators CANNOT manage resource delegations.  So in this case when clicking Browse next to Working on Behalf Of they would see no one.

So the next question is – how do I change this?  It is one of the tricky category permissions that sometimes catch our customers out – as it is set for the category of My Organization within the Administrators group.  So if you either want to turn this off in your native 2010 instance, or turn it on in your upgraded 2007 instance, go to Manage Groups and select Administrators, then within the Add or Edit Group page scroll down until you see the Categories. 

Now for the tricky bit – click on My Organization and you will then see the set of permissions for My Organization!  I have collapsed the Project permissions to fit the interesting bit in – the Manage Resource Delegates option. 

In 2007 upgraded instances this will look like this and be unchecked – and will need to be checked if you want administrators to be able to set delegates for everyone – in 2010 native instances it will already be checked – so uncheck if you want to turn this off for administrators.  You can of course do this the other way around, and go to Manage Categories and then select Administrators – but the key take-away here is that you need to select the category (or group) to see the applicable permissions – something that isn’t always intuitive.

More 2010 postings to come –many, like this one based on early feedback and experience from our TAP customers and Ignite attendees (thanks Jesse!).

Dziś na portalu WSS.pl ruszył darmowy cykl wirtualnych szkoleń, które mają przygotować Was do egzaminu z Windows 7 (70-680). Spotkań takich będzie 8 i odbywać się będą wieczorem w każdą środę.

Na portalu WSS.pl powstała specjalna strona z informacjami o kolejnych spotkaniach.

Dziś była sesja podwójna, bo najpierw wprowadzenie dotyczące ogólnie certyfikatów, egzaminów, itp. A już później same konkrety dotyczące Windows 7.

Prelegent – aż miło słuchać

Cały cykl spotkań jest prowadzony przez Pawła Pławiaka (naszego MVP), którego ja osobiście bardzo lubię słuchać na sesjach.

Paweł ma świetne przygotowanie do prowadzenia sesji, bo po pierwsze jest trenerem Microsoft od wielu lat i poprowadził już pewnie niezliczoną liczbę szkoleń. Po drugie jest również wykładowcą akademickim, którego słyszałem że studenci sobie bardzo chwalą – właśnie za prowadzenie zajęć.

I muszę Wam powiedzieć, że i tym razem Paweł nie zawiódł. Słuchało się jednej i drugiej sesji bardzo przyjemnie, a sposób prowadzenia bardzo mi odpowiada. I jeśli tylko czas pozwoli to na pewno będę na kolejnych sesjach Pawła.

Co na szkoleniu?

Paweł w bardzo klarowny sposób wyjaśniał dziś meandry instalacji, aktualizacji i migracji do Windows 7. Ja póki co z Windows 7 mam tylko do czynienia jako użytkownik, więc dziś dowiedział się całkiem sporo ciekawych rzeczy.

To z czym Paweł moim zdaniem miał rewelacyjny pomysł – to przygotowanie zestawu 25 pytań, które obejmowały omówiony przez niego zakres tematyczny.

I pytania te przygotował tak, że wszyscy uczestniczy dzisiejszego spotkania (a było ich około 140 osób) mogli brać udział w quizie prawie jak w Milionerach.

Paweł po każdym pytaniu omawiał odpowiedzi i mówił które są dobre i dlaczego oraz dlaczego te błędne są złymi odpowiedziami. Naprawdę super sprawa, bo praktycznie podczas jednej sesji można było posłuchać o jakimś temacie, a później go bardzo dobrze utrwalić.

Co dalej?

Przed nami kolejne sesje, które jeśli tylko będą tak dobre jak ta dzisiejsza, to mają szansę bardzo dobrze przygotować Was do egzaminu.

Zresztą jak było widać dziś po odpowiedziach na te 25 pytań – to większość osób ma już bardzo dobre zadatki na zdanie tego egzaminu.

Zachęcam więc do uczestnictwa w kolejnych spotkaniach z tego cyklu. I tak jak pisałem – więcej info znajdziecie na WSS.pl.

Niestety od początku tygodnia trochę zostałem zmuszony do wzięcia urlopu i co za tym idzie przesunęło mi się wiele rzeczy.

Wszystkich, którzy czekali na maila/telefon/odpowiedź z mojej strony chwilowo muszę przeprosić, ale jeszcze chwilę mnie nie będzie (i trochę ciężko określić do kiedy).

Głównie chodzi mi tu o zwycięzców mojego ostatniego konkursu, którzy pewnie czekają na wysyłkę nagród (a nie chciałem każdemu z Was wysyłać osobnego maila). Musicie mi wybaczyć te opóźnienia, bo w pracy możliwe, że pojawię się dopiero w poniedziałek.

A i na blogu myślę, że chwilowo też mniejsza aktywność będzie, choć muszę Wam powiedzieć, że dawno nie miałem tak wielu postów w wersji roboczej. Także tematów do opisania jest kilka, ale jeszcze chwilę muszą zaczekać.

PS. To nie pracodawca zmusił mnie do urlopu tylko niestety sprawy prywatne :(

There are a number of cmdlets for working with paths

PS> Get-Command *path | select Name

Name
----
Convert-Path
Join-Path
Resolve-Path
Split-Path
Test-Path

Test-Path is the one I probably use most

PS> Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\TODO.txt"
True
PS> Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\Chapter1.docx"
False

It returns a Boolean – true if the path is found and false if not.  BTW don’t worry about the missing chapter it’s somewhere else.

One of my common uses for this is to test if a file exists before doing something

PS> if (Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\TODO.txt"){Write-Host "Found it"}
Found it

PS> if (Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\chapter1.docx"){Write-Host "Found it"}

else{Write-Host "Its gone"}
Its gone

We can also test if the path points to a file or a directory

PS> Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\TODO.txt" -PathType "leaf"
True
PS> Test-Path -Path "C:\Users\Richard\Documents\PowerShell in Practice\TODO.txt" -PathType "container"
False

The path cmdlets also work in other providers as we shall see later

I guess I’ll be fairly busy at MMS 2010, from April 19-23rd in Las Vegas.  These are the sessions I’ll be presenting:

Related to session BC07, please e-mail me at mniehaus@microsoft.com if you have any specific issues that you’ve encountered in your Windows 7 deployments, whether they are related to Windows, MDT 2010, or ConfigMgr.  I want to try to go through as many of these as possible during the session.  (I’ve got lots of examples in my inbox, but it’s always challenging to figure out which of those issues are actually something others in the “real world” will encounter.)

Also notice that the BC32 session will be presented by both myself and Johan Arwidmark.  (In case you’re wondering, he’s the control freak, I’m the dynamic developer.)  We’ll try our best to not argue on stage…

For those that have been wondering about Modena, session BG01 will explore that:  “User-Driven” OS deployment using ConfigMgr.

So throughout all of what Microsoft calls our “Q3 TechNet Event Series” one of the topics that I often speak about with customers about is Microsoft’s newest cloud offering named Windows Azure.  While the majority of the folks attending one of the Q3 Microsoft TechNet events are there to hear about either Windows 7 Deployment or using Hyper-V to build a test network, the first session talks about what Windows Azure is.  What has been surprising is:

1. The number of people that haven’t heard of Windows Azure before
2. How surprised many of the attendees are at Microsoft’s investment in “Cloud Services”
3. How many questions come up after the session and in-between both the Hyper-V and Windows 7 Deployment sessions

Now post Steve Ballmer talking with University of Washington students last week about Microsoft being “All in” on cloud services and the subsequent press coverage, I’m guessing a few MORE people have heard of Windows Azure and some of Microsoft’s investments in this area, but just in case I thought it made sense to clarify how this really benefits customers on a number of levels.

So what is this Windows Azure thing and why should an IT Pro or SME business owner care?  Windows Azure is indeed Microsoft’s Cloud OS that can be used to host any number of applications at a fraction of the cost to run them yourself.  From a straight dollars and cents perspective, there is a simple, straightforward TCO model and subsequent ROI on Windows Azure that very easily proves to anyone comparing on-premise to hosted in the cloud that it’s cheaper to run it in the cloud.  Feel free to try out the model at www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/tco.  Long story short, by Microsoft running many hundreds of thousands of servers at scale in our datacenters around the globe and offering Windows Azure to host our customers applications, we can do it more cheaply and efficiently than most AND can offer internet-economy pricing to run these apps.  IT Pros and SME businesses often overlook the cost of the power and cooling costs to run a few servers and the related components

Now we all know it’s not just about dollars and cents, but also about hosting your business critical application with Microsoft makes it better for the IT Pro or Small or Medium business owner/IT person running the application(s).  If it’s harder to run it in the cloud, no one would sign up in the first place.  So that’s the hidden benefit here, besides being cheaper, we can offload the management of these servers completely and just give customers the application what in most cases is a “four 9’s” SLA.  Access to the business applications is what the business owner cares about the most, and if they’re able to do that with higher uptime, no upfront hardware cost and with access to capacity on demand, the downside seems to be nonexistent.

IT Pros will be happy to know that Windows Azure isn’t going to replace their job like you might initially think, but rather eliminate many of the more mundane tasks an IT Pro does such as worrying about A/V and Malware on the servers, ensuring backups ran, replacing faulty hardware, etc.  Microsoft does all these things for you, ensures that you get full access to your application and all you pay for is what you use, as opposed to the many thousands of dollars up front for hardware.  IT Pros still need to set up and configure the application in Windows Azure, as well as do the usual administration of the application just like as if it was running on-premise.  The time the business spends on the IT Pro is specific to the application which is specific to their business, as opposed to spending time on setting up industry-standard hardware on the business’ dime.

So let me give somewhat of a real-life example.  Any of you who have seen me speak at the TechNet events has probably heard me use the example of an accounting application during tax season.  Having access to a server infrastructure that can expand to meet the needs of the business for the 3 months of tax season and then contract back to a smaller footprint after April 15th is something that business owners and IT Pros can only dream about, but that is what is indeed delivered with Windows Azure.  In a matter of minutes, an IT Pro or SME business owner could expand the number of instances that the tax software was running to meet the demand and then in a matter of minutes on April 16th, contract the number of instances of the tax application back to an appropriate number for the rest of the year.  The cost to the accounting business does NOT include the thousands of dollars of the extra servers, but rather just the additional processing that was used for the period it was needed.  In this example, the additional cost would be quite small.  Go see for yourself how Windows Azure is priced: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/pricing/.

The only other thought that should be taken into consideration is the security of your applications and data.  How does Microsoft handle that?  What about regulatory requirements?  Microsoft goes through all of the common audits on our datacenters (ISO, PCI, HIPPA, SOX, etc), and we make the results available to you, so if you’re running your application on our platform, you have access to the audit results if you need to produce them for someone.  Microsoft hosts applications for many household name enterprises today whose security teams have been satisfied with Microsoft’s ability to secure their company’s assets, so the security in place with the Windows Azure platform probably goes well beyond what a SME business could afford in the first place.  As Steve Ballmer mentioned, Microsoft is “All In” on cloud services, so our investment in the area of security is probably second to none.

So what are you waiting for, give Windows Azure a try! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/getstarted/.  With all the hard work already being done for you and a lower cost to run your business applications, Windows Azure really is what the IT Pros and Small and Medium businesses have been waiting for!

Hola a todos,

debido al terremoto en Chile, se ha cambiado la fecha del cambio de hora por el horario de invierno.

La información oficial entregada por el Gobierno de Chile es:

http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm

Para el año 2010:

Inicio horario de Invierno:

a.- En el continente y Antártica Chilena

A las 24:00 del sábado 3 de abril de 2010, se atrasa en una hora pasando a ser las 23:00 del mismo día.

b.- En Isla de Pascua e Isla Salas y Gómez

A las 22:00 del sábado 3 de abril de 2010, se atrasa en una hora pasando a ser las 21:00 del mismo día.

Dada esta situación Microsoft Chile informa a sus clientes, socios y usuarios de tecnologías Microsoft que dado este cambio, los sistemas operativos no interpretaran correctamente el tiempo relacionado con el horario de invierno.

Microsoft está trabajando en un hotfix para actualizar los sistemas operativos Windows con la nueva fecha de DST para Chile.

Les recomiendo revisar el sitio oficial de Microsoft a este respecto http://www.microsoft.com/chile/cambiodehora/ y publicaré otro post con información técnica.

Cualquier problema relacionado recomiendo contactar a Microsoft de manera gratuita en http://support.microsoft.com/contactus 

Saludos, Christian.-

I'm delighted to announce that I'm going to be speaking at the Norwegian Developer Conference 2010 in Oslo in June. Rune Grothaug announced this with the very modest claim that my talk (combined with a Q&A with Mads Torgersen afterwards) could "alter the future of C# altogether". Well, I don't know about that - but I'm very much looking forward to it nonetheless.

As I'm doing quite a bit of this public speaking lark at the moment, I thought it might be worth keeping an up-to-date list of my speaking engagements - and what better way than to have a Google Calendar for the job? You can browse the embedded version below, or subscribe to the ical feed from your own calendaring system.

I'll try to keep this up-to-date, but you should be aware that some events may well be tentative - it's probably best to check on the event's web site, which will usually be linked in the description for the event.  Also note that I don't always know which days I'll be at an event - in order to keep a reasonable home life, I'll often just be popping in for a day or two within a longer conference.
