Configuring DFS Replication In the previous article we used DFS Replication to provide fault-tolerance for \\r2.local\Accounting\Billing\Invoices, a folder within the \\r2.local\Accounting namespace in the r2.local domain. This folder originally had only one folder target, the shared folder \\BOX163\Invoices, and to make this folder redundant we had to do two things: Add a second folder target, namely the shared folder \\BOX162\Invoices, so that if the first folder target was unavailable, client machines could obtain a referral from the namespace server so they could connect to the second target instead. Replicate the contents of the first folder target (\\BOX163\Invoices) to the second folder target (\\BOX162\Invoices) and keep the contents of these two shared folders in sync so that if one of them becomes unavailable, clients can still access the files stored in this namespace folder.  Using the Replicate Folder Wizard, we saw how easy this task is to perform. Let's spend a mo...

Introduction The Distributed File System is used to build a hierarchical view of multiple file servers and shares on the network. Instead of having to think of a specific machine name for each set of files, the user will only have to remember one name; which will be the 'key' to a list of shares found on multiple servers on the network. Think of it as the home of all file shares with links that point to one or more servers that actually host those shares. DFS has the capability of routing a client to the closest available file server by using Active Directory site metrics. It can also be installed on a cluster for even better performance and reliability. Medium to large sized organizations are most likely to benefit from the use of DFS - for smaller companies it is simply not worth setting up since an ordinary file server would be just fine. Understanding the DFS Terminology It is important to understand the new concepts that are part of DFS. Below is an definition of each o...

Write the letter in proper format. Start with the title of the person you are addressing, the address, and date. Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or state who you are (if it's for personal sponsorship) For example, So and So firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... whatever. State the event and the purpose in lucid terms. "We are holding a ---- event on ----- for raising money/making a video/whatever the reason." Request sponsorship by saying "We would be grateful if you helped in sponsoring our event...". Try to give a plan, for example do you want a banner? An announcement? If it's a banner or the sort you could quote sizes and prices. This makes it easier for companies to select a sponsorship plan instead of trying to figure out what exactly you want and how much. Give details. For example, how many people are attending? Who will be the Chief Guest/guests, whether your event will be ...

While installing SQL Server 2008 RC0 it give error message as "Access is denied". Final Solution is - This failure often is caused by a system or domain policy removing the SeDebugPrivelege security privilege from the administrator account running setup. Verify that the account running has this privilege. The AccessChk tool will print all privleges for an account (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb664922.aspx) by running: accesschk.exe -a \ * Alternatively, we can check this through your group policy editor as mentioned below: Open Group Policy... Start Run Type: gpedit.msc OK Navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Debug programs The account through which we are trying to run the setup should be here ( besides the local admin on that machine). I included that here, restarted the server ( this is mandatory, gpupdate /force will not work) and ran the setup and it was success...

I had an odd issue with my Windows Vista. Every time I do right-click on a file or folder, an error message would pop-up saying “Registry Access Denied“, after acknowledging the message, the context menu would appear and function normally. I did numerous searches, examined permissions, removed/added the user from groups, nothing worked. Then it hit me, it was the context menu that was having an issue, perhaps I should take a look at all the items that are listed in the registry to see how they matched the right-click menu after it appeared. Doing yet another search, Online Tech Tips had info on editing the right-click menu. Following the registry path mentioned: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ I was able to see that there was an entry for a zip program that wasn’t appearing on the context menu. After backing up the registry, I removed that entry and viola, no more error. Simpler than I thought… zipx was exactly my problem! I uninstalled this and now I don’t g...

What is the difference between Authorized DHCP and Non Authorized DHCP? To avoid problems in the network causing by mis-configured DHCP servers, server in windows 2000 must be validate by AD before starting service to clients. If an authorized DHCP finds any DHCP server in the network it stop serving the clients Difference between inter-site and intra-site replication. Protocols using for replication. Intra-site replication can be done between the domain controllers in the same site. Inter-site replication can be done between two different sites over WAN links BHS (Bridge Head Servers) is responsible for initiating replication between the sites. Inter-site replication can be done B/w BHS in one site and BHS in another site. We can use RPC over IP or SMTP as a replication protocols where as Domain partition is not possible to replicate using SMTP How to monitor replication We can user Replmon tool from support tools Brief explanation of RAID Levels Microsoft Windows XP, Wind...
