Windows Home Server 2011 : Maintaining Windows Home Server - Checking Free Disk Space on the System Drive

Hard disks with capacities measured in the hundreds of gigabytes are commonplace even in low-end systems nowadays, so disk space is much less of a problem than it used to be.

Windows Home Server 2011 : Maintaining Windows Home Server - Checking Your Hard Disk for Errors

Our hard disks store our programs and, most importantly, our precious data, so they have a special place in the computing firmament. We ought to pamper and coddle them to ensure a long and trouble-free existence, but that’s rarely the case, unfortunately.

Windows Home Server 2011 : Maintaining Windows Home Server - Checking System Uptime

In networking parlance, uptime refers to the amount of time that some system has been running continuously since the last time the system was started. From the standpoint of Windows Home Server, the longer the uptime the better, because that means the server has been available for clients longer, which means that shared folders, media streaming, and remote access have all been available.

HP ProLiant Servers AIS : How Memory Works

Memory chips were originally attached directly to the system board of a computer. As the need for more memory increased and the space on the system board started to become scarce, memory chips were mounted on cards called memory modules.

HP ProLiant Servers AIS : Memory and Cache

Server performance is substantially increased if the system buses are utilized on every clock cycle. As technical innovations have consistently increased processor speed and capacity, systems designers have been challenged to find ways to keep the system buses fully utilized at every clock cycle.

SQL Server 2008 R2 : A Performance Monitoring Approach (part 3) - Monitoring Memory, Monitoring the Disk System

Memory, like a processor, is divided into segments for each process running on the server. If there is a demand for more memory than is available, the operating system has to use virtual memory to supplement the physical memory.

SQL Server 2008 R2 : A Performance Monitoring Approach (part 2) - Monitoring the Processors

The main processors of a server do the majority of the hard work, executing the operating system code and all applications. This is the next logical place to start looking at the performance of a system. With SQL Server 2008, you can identify the number of CPUs you want to utilize on your physical machine.

SQL Server 2008 R2 : A Performance Monitoring Approach (part 1)

One area of possible congestion is the network card or network interface; it does not matter how fast the server’s work is if it has to queue up to go out through a small pipe.

Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 : The Four-Phase Patch Management Process (part 2) - The Evaluate & Plan Phase, The Deploy Phase

The Evaluate & Plan phase of the patch management process is where the organization needs to examine how it will respond to a software update, how it will release the update, how it will build the update, and how it will conduct acceptance testing for the release.

Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 : The Four-Phase Patch Management Process (part 1) - The Assess Phase, The Identify Phase

During the Identify phase of the four-phase patch management process, the organization is focused on gathering information about the software update that triggered entry into the Identify phase, whether or not the update is relevant to the production environment; obtaining the software update itself; and categorizing the update as either an emergency update or one that can be dealt with routinely within the time frame set by the organization for software updates.

The Server Configuration tool is added by default on a Server Core installation or Hyper-V Server. Just type sconfig at the command line and the menu will be loaded.

SQL Server 2012 : Running SQL Server in A Virtual Environment - EXTENDED FEATURES OF VIRTUALIZATION

Snapshotting a virtual server is very similar to how SQL Server’s own snapshot function works. In principle, the hypervisor suspends the virtual machine, or perhaps requires it to be shut down, and places a point-in-time marker within the virtual machine’s data files.

SQL Server 2012 : Running SQL Server in A Virtual Environment - VIRTUALIZATION CONCEPTS

Like any technology, virtualization covers a minefield of new terminology, features, and capabilities. To make things even more complicated, different vendors often use different terms for the same item. To help remove that ambiguity, this section covers the main terms and features commonly used by virtualization software currently being deployed.

SQL Server 2012 : Running SQL Server in A Virtual Environment - COMMON VIRTUALIZATION PRODUCTS

If you search for virtualization products using your favorite search engine, you’ll get dozens of results for different products, and many opinions about which is best.

A typical textbook definition of virtualization defines the concept of sharing a single physical resource between multiple isolated processes, by presenting each with their own virtual version of the physical resource.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policies and Policy Management : Understanding Group Policy (part 3) - GPO Filtering, Group Policy Loopback Processing

Applying GPOs can be tricky, and the design of the Active Directory forest, domains, sites, and OU hierarchy plays a major part in this. One of the most important considerations when designing the Active Directory OU hierarchy within a domain is to understand how the domain administrators plan to manage the domain computers and users with group policies.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policies and Policy Management : Understanding Group Policy (part 2) - Group Policy Link Enforcement, Group Policy Inheritance, Group Policy Block Inheritance

GPOs can be linked at the site, domain, and multiple OU levels. When an Active Directory infrastructure contains GPOs linked at the domain level, for example, every container and OU beneath the domain root container inherits any linked policies. As a default example, the Domain Controllers OU inherits the default domain policy from the domain.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policies and Policy Management : Understanding Group Policy (part 1) - GPO Storage and Replication

GPOs are stored in both the file system and the Active Directory database. Each domain in an Active Directory forest stores a complete copy of that particular domain’s GPOs.

You can apply two different types of policies to Windows systems and Windows system user accounts: local group policies and Active Directory domain-based group policies.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policies and Policy Management - Group Policy Processing: How Does It Work?

The first thing an administrator needs to understand about Group Policy is that policies are processed and applied by computers and users. Policy processing occurs during certain events like computer startup and user logon but also at periodic intervals

IDOC stands for Intermediate Document and is a SAP specification that is used for exchanging information within SAP systems and with external systems such as BizTalk. SAP resources think of IDOCs much like BizTalk resources think about XSD schemas. The difference being that IDOC structures resemble flat files whereas XSD schemas are based upon XML.

BizTalk Server 2010 : Installation of WCF SAP Adapter (part 2) - WCF-SAP Adapter vs WCF Customer Adapter with SAP binding

When we generate schemas for SAP artifacts, the binding file that is also generated will use the WCF-Custom Adapter with an SAP Binding Type. With this binding type selected, we can manipulate any SAP-related property.

BizTalk Server 2010 : Installation of WCF SAP Adapter (part 1) - SAP Prerequisite DLLs

Installing the BizTalk Adapter pack is not enough. You need to obtain two packages from the SAP Marketplace. The SAP Marketplace is the equivalent of Microsoft's MSDN and TechNet offerings.

SQL Server 2012 : Data Architecture (part 2) - Smart Database Design

More than a few databases do not adhere to the principles of information architecture, and as a result, fail to meet organization's needs. In nearly every case, the root cause of the failure was the database design. It was too complex, too clumsy, or just plain inadequate.

SQL Server 2012 : Data Architecture (part 1) - Information Architecture Principle, Database Objectives

Based on the Information Architecture Principle, every database can be architected or evaluated by six interdependent database objectives. Four of these objectives are primarily a function of design, development, and implementation: usability, extensibility, data integrity, and performance
