Thank to: https://www.itprotoday.com/ Q: Why am I receiving an error when trying to protect a SQL Server 2012 server using System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager? A:  If you have performed a fresh SQL Server installation and are trying to protect it with System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager (DPM), you might get an error in DPM that the server can't be protected. If you open Event Viewer and look in the Application log, you might see an error similar to the following: Log Name: DPM Alerts Source: DPM-EM Date: 5/6/2013 3:53:08 PM Event ID: 3170 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: savdaldpm12.savilltech.net Description: DPM could not start a recovery, consistency check, or initial replica creation job for SAVDALSQL01\AppController on savdalsql01.savilltech.net for following reason: (ID: 3170) The DPM job failed for SAVDALSQL01\AppController on savdalsql01.savilltech.net because the protection agent did not have sysadmin privi

Thanks to: https://www.oxfordsbsguy.com/ Below are a few scripts that will help with Exchange 2010 reporting. Get-Mailbox  will show you mailbox name, alias, server and prohibit send quota. It’s a start, but no information on mailbox sizes. Using the first script from the Exchange 2007 post you need to add the  -server  switch,  Get-MailboxStatistics  -server SERVERNAME  | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | ft DisplayName,@{label=”TotalItemSize(MB)”;expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},ItemCount  to get the following report. By adding a redirect you can output the report details to a text file. Get-MailboxStatistics -server SERVERNAME | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | ft DisplayName,@{label=”TotalItemSize(KB)”;expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToKB()}},ItemCount > c:\reports\mailbox_sizes.txt

Thank to: https://www.oxfordsbsguy.com/ Occasionally you may have a requirement to copy incoming or outgoing emails for specific users to another mailbox for monitoring or compliance purposes. To be able to do this you can use an Exchange Transport Rule. First open the  Exchange Management Console , expand  Organization Configuration , and select  Hub Transport . Right click the blank space in the main window and select  New Transport Rule . Enter the name for your new transport rule, click  Next . Select the conditions you want for the rule. Select  from people  as a condition, and then click the underlined value  people  to select from which people you want the rule to apply to. Click  Add , and then add the email accounts you want to copy emails from. In our example we want to copy emails from the accounts mailbox. Click  OK. Click  Next .

Thanks to: https://community.spiceworks.com Solution: In Exchange Server 2010, you may also experience this issue if the Exchange Servers group does not have the appropriate permission to the mailbox object in Active Directory. The most common cause for this is broken Access Control List (ACL) inheritance in Active Directory. To check whether inheritance is disabled on the user: Open  Active Directory Users and Computers . On the menu at the top of the console, click  View  >  Advanced Features . Locate and right-click the mailbox account in the console, and then click  Properties . Click the  Security  tab. Click  Advanced . Make sure that the check box for "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" is selected. If the user is a member of certain protected groups such as Domain Administrators, it is normal for this box to be unchecked. If you are experiencing a problem with members of these protected groups you should check the permi

Thank to: https://exchangepedia.com/ In Exchange Server 2003, mail for a recipient can be forwarded to an alternate recipient by modifying the recipient’s  Delivery Options  in  ADUC  | recipient -> properties |  Exchange General  tab. Figure 1:  Use  Delivery Options  to auto forward email to an alternate recipient in Exchange 2003 If you need to forward mail to an external email address, you can’t simply type the address in the  Forward to:  field on the  Delivery Options  page. A  (mail-enabled)   Contact  needs to be created in  AD  first, and Delivery Options modified to point to the Contact. Forwarding mail to an external address in Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007 In Exchange 2010/2007, these tasks remain the same. However, instead of using  ADUC  to accomplish them, you use the  EMC  or the Shell (aka “ EMS “).  The new term for a Contact is  MailContact . Create a MailContact Create a MailContact using the  EMC : Expand  Recipeint Configuration  |  Mail Cont

Thanks to: https://windowserver.wordpress.com/ ¿Conocían que podía crear una instalación virtual de sistema operativo sin instalarlo? Parece confuso ¿No es cierto? pero sin embargo es así Hace ya tiempo, para ser más exactos desde el 22/10/2009, que está disponible un script que permite crear un disco virtual (VHD) directamente desde la imagen de instalación ( INSTALL.WIM ). Esto es, que una vez creado el disco VHD podemos crear una máquina virtual que automáticamente ejecutará SYSYPREP en el primer arranque, dejándola lista para usar (activaciones aparte) Este script al cual me refiero, es válido para Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 y está disponible en:   Windows(R) Image to Virtual Hard Disk (WIM2VHD) Converter Pues ahora está disponible lo mismo, y mejorado para Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012. Y digo mejorado porque además de más opciones de conversión, permite ejecutarlo tanto para Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012, como para Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2. Y

Thank to: https://networklessons.com WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) is a Cisco protocol that lets you redirect web traffic from clients to a proxy server. Using a proxy server has a number of advantages: Caching: reduces network bandwidth because web traffic that has been requested before can be retrieved from the proxy cache instead of requesting it again from the Internet. Filtering: all web traffic goes through the proxy server first so you can filter certain websites. Monitoring: If you want to know what your users are doing you can track this on the proxy server. WCCP is used between a Cisco router and a proxy server to communicate. The proxy server will tell the router that it is “alive” and ready to serve webpages. It’s also used as a “hello” message so the router knows when the proxy is down. The router is called the  WCCP server  and the proxy is called the  WCCP client . In this tutorial I will first explain the basics of how WCCP forwards traffic to the
