Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 4) - Provisioning SMB shares - Configuration options for SMB shares, Types of SMB shares

Configuring the Folder Usage and Quota options requires that the File Server Resource Manager feature be installed on a Windows Server 2012 file server in your environment.

Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 3) - Provisioning shared storage - Creating volumes

Before you can create a new volume, you must create at least one virtual disk from a storage pool on your file server. Continuing the procedure from the previous section, Figure 6 shows that file server HOST7 now has a virtual disk named Archive Disk that has a capacity of 2 TBs but no volumes on it yet.

Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 2) - Provisioning shared storage - Creating virtual disks

Before you can create a virtual disk, you must create at least one storage pool on your file server. Continuing from the procedure that was started in the previous section, Figure 3 shows that file server HOST7 now has a storage pool named Archive Pool that has a capacity of 696 GBs but no virtual disks yet.

Windows Server 2012 : Provisioning and managing shared storage (part 1) - Provisioning shared storage - Creating a storage pool

Figure 1 shows the primordial storage pool on a server named HOST7 in Server Manager. The Physical Disks tile of the Storage Pools page indicates that there are three physical disks available.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 8) - Configuring Transport Rules

Transport rules allow you to screen messaging items and apply actions to those that meet specific conditions. When you enable transport rules, all Hub Transport servers in your Exchange organization screen messages according to the rules you've defined.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 7) - Configuring Journal Rules

Journaling allows you to forward copies of messaging items and related reports automatically to an alternate location. You can use journaling to verify compliance with policies implemented in your organization and to help ensure that your organization can meet its legal and regulatory requirements

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 6) - Verifying Edge Subscriptions, Removing Edge Subscriptions

The easiest way to verify the subscription status of Edge Transport servers is to run the Test-EdgeSynchronization cmdlet. This cmdlet provides a report of the synchronization status, and you also can use it to verify that a specific recipient has been synchronized to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service on an Edge Transport server.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 5) - Getting Edge Subscription Details, Synchronizing Edge Subscriptions

In the Exchange Management Console, you can view Edge subscriptions by expanding the Organization Configuration node, selecting the Hub Transport node, and then clicking the Edge Subscriptions tab.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 4) - Creating an Edge Subscription

Also as part of the subscription process, you must select an Active Directory site for the subscription. The Hub Transport server or servers in the site are the servers responsible for replicating Active Directory information to the Edge Transport server.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 3) - Enabling Anti-Spam Features

By default, Edge Transport servers have anti-spam features enabled and Hub Transport servers do not. In an Exchange organization with Edge Transport servers, this is the desired configuration: you want your Edge Transport servers to run anti-spam filters on messages before they are routed into the Exchange organization.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 2) - Configuring the Transport Dumpster , Configuring Shadow Redundancy

When your organization has replicated mailbox databases, your Hub Transport servers use the transport dumpster to maintain a queue of messages that were recently delivered to recipients on a replicated mailbox database.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Completing Transport Server Setup (part 1) - Configuring Transport Limits

Exchange Server 2010 automatically places receive size, send size, and number of recipient limits on messages being routed through an Exchange organization.

SharePoint 2013 : Health and Monitoring (part 4) - Timer Jobs, The Developer Dashboard

Timer jobs work at the heart of a SharePoint farm. Each SharePoint server (web-front-end or application server) hosts a SharePoint timer service, which is a Windows service. This service is responsible for running SharePoint jobs—designated units of functionality to execute a designated time and perhaps recurring.

SharePoint 2013 : Health and Monitoring (part 3) - Analytics, The Health Analyzer

If you do not see this banner on your Central Administration home page then all is good with your farm. Do not be alarmed if you just installed SharePoint 2013 and now see a red or yellow banner

SharePoint 2013 : Health and Monitoring (part 2) - Correlation IDs, The Logging Database

The logging database provides a central location to query all events occurring in the farm, whereas ULS logs only report information per the verbosity settings and spread across servers in the farm. The following steps demonstrate how to configure the logging database for your farm:

SharePoint 2013 : Health and Monitoring (part 1) - Logging

Logging is an important part of health monitoring because it is via various log files that SharePoint may alert administrators to issues in the system. The Unified Logging Service (ULS provides administrators with an extensive dump of information, warnings, and errors occurring in the platform.

SharePoint 2013 Request Management (part 2) - Request Management Administration

You should see a list of settings for the Request Manager associated with the web application. Figure 2 shows a screenshot from my console when I executed the previous PowerShell Cmdlets to retrieve the Request Management settings for my default web application.

Request Management allows SharePoint to understand more about, and control the handling of, incoming requests for pages, documents, and any other content that SharePoint may deliver to end users.

Windows Server 2012 : Deploying Storage Spaces (part 5) - Implementing Storage Spaces, Using Windows PowerShell

You can perform the first step by using either Server Manager or Windows PowerShell, as the following sections demonstrate. Additional physical storage can be added at any time, either by installing more internal disks in the server or by connecting external storage enclosures to the server.

Windows Server 2012 : Deploying Storage Spaces (part 4) - Planning a Storage Spaces deployment - Availability, Management

Storage Spaces can be deployed together with the Failover Clustering feature of Windows Server 2012. Such a scenario can be used to deliver continuously available shared storage for your environment by allowing shared storage to transparently fail over to a different node in a clustered file server when necessary.

Windows Server 2012 : Deploying Storage Spaces (part 3) - Planning a Storage Spaces deployment - Hardware, Performance, Resiliency

Although using USB 2.0 hard drives with Storage Spaces is supported, it is not recommended because of the performance limitations of using USB 2.0 to perform simultaneous reads and writes to multiple, connected USB drives.

Windows Server 2012 : Deploying Storage Spaces (part 2) - Understanding Storage Spaces - Fixed vs. thin provisioning

The difference between these two types of provisioning can be explained using the following example. Figure 1 shows a storage pool named Storage Pool 1 that has been created from three 2-TB physical hard drives.

Windows Server 2012 : Deploying Storage Spaces (part 1) - Understanding Storage Spaces - Concepts and terminology

You can create and delete storage pools to manage virtualized storage in your environment. Each physical disk can be included in only one storage pool at a time, and once you add a physical disk to a pool, the disk is no longer exposed in Disk Management for directly creating partitions or volumes on.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 8) - Connecting to Exchange 2003 Routing Groups

Although Exchange 2010 doesn't use routing groups, you must create routing group connectors to route messages between Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport servers and Exchange Server 2003 routing groups. You can manage routing group connectors only by using the Exchange Management Shell.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 7) - Viewing and Managing Receive Connectors

In the Exchange Management Shell, you can view, update, or remove Receive connectors using the Get-ReceiveConnector, Set-ReceiveConnector, or Remove-ReceiveConnector cmdlets, respectively.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 6) - Creating Receive Connectors

Receive connectors are the gateways through which Transport servers receive messages. Exchange creates the Receive connectors required for mail flow automatically. The receive permissions on a Receive connector determine who is allowed to send mail through the connector.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 5) - Configuring Send Connector DNS Lookups, Setting Send Connector Limits

You can configure different settings for internal and external DNS lookups by configuring a Transport server's External DNS Lookups and Internal DNS Lookups properties. External DNS Lookup servers are used to resolve the IP addresses of servers outside your organization.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 4) - Viewing and Managing Send Connectors

The Exchange Management tools provide access only to the Send connectors you've explicitly created. On Hub Transport servers, Send connectors created by Exchange Server are not displayed or configurable.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 3) - Creating Send Connectors

Send connectors are the gateways through which transport servers send messages. Exchange automatically creates the Send connectors required for internal mail flow but does not create the Send connectors required for mail flow to the Internet.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 2) - Viewing and Managing Active Directory Site Link Details

You can use the Get-AdSiteLink cmdlet to view the configuration information about an Active Directory IP site link. This configuration information includes the value of the Exchange-specific cost, the cost assigned to the Active Directory IP site link, and a list of the sites in the IP site link.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Working with SMTP Connectors, Sites, and Links (part 1) - Viewing and Managing Active Directory Site Details

By default, Hub Transport servers use Active Directory sites and the costs that are assigned to the Active Directory Internet Protocol (IP) site links to determine the least-cost routing path to other Hub Transport servers in the organization. You can override the Active Directory costs with Exchange costs.

Administering an Exchange Server 2013 Environment (part 9) - Server Administration

In Exchange Server 2007, administrators were constantly reminded that to take advantage of the improvements in high-availability technology, there should only be one storage group per database

Windows Server 2008 Server Core is a streamlined version of Windows Server 2008. Server Core is a limited installation of Windows that only includes the command prompt—no graphical user interface (GUI).

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Introducing Journaling - Implementing Journaling, Reading Journal Reports

A lot of people confuse journaling, which is the process of capturing a set of communications for future use, with archiving, which is the practice of removing less frequently accessed or older message data from the message store in favor of a secondary storage location.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Setting Up Transport Rules (part 5) - Creating New Rules with the Exchange Management Shell

To make this cmdlet manageable, we made use of variables to create the condition from a member of the distribution list and fill its Addresses property with the Sales Group distribution list. We then passed the variable into the Set-TransportRule cmdlet, modifying the condition of the FromSales rule.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Setting Up Transport Rules (part 4) - Creating New Rules with the Exchange Management Console

Transport rules are always fun to describe to customers, since they have a familiar point of reference. We simply tell them that they are similar in experience to what they create with the Outlook Rules wizard, except that these rules have many more available settings and run completely server-side.
