			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pagefile size on Windows Server 2003 x86 and other Windows x86 platforms is limited to 4095 MB per pagefile. But a lot of Windows Server 2003 systems already have 4GB RAM and are using PAE (<a title="PAE Physical Address Extension Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension" target="_blank">Physical Address Extension</a>) to use them. So it would be useful to create more than 4 GB pagefiles.</p>
<p>Microsofts solution for this is to create multiple pagefiles. You can now create multiple pagefiles on different partitions. If you don&#8217;t have enough partitions or you just have one, you can create multiple pagefile in different folders by using the Windows Registry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Screen-shot-2010-08-02-at-16.25.07.png" rel="lightbox[903]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-904" title="Pagefiles" src="http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Screen-shot-2010-08-02-at-16.25.07.png" alt="Pagefiles" width="384" height="351" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Create the folders on the drive where the pagefiles should be located. For example, C:\Pagefile1, C:\Pagefile2, and C:\Pagefile3.</li>
<li>Open regedit.exe</li>
<li>I would recommend to create a backup of the registry</li>
<li>locate this key:<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement</li>
<li>Edit the value &#8220;PagingFiles&#8221;</li>
<li>Remove the existing values and add the following values:<br />
C:\Pagefile1\pagefile.sys 4096 4096<br />
C:\Pagefile2\pagefile.sys 4096 4096<br />
C:\Pagefile3\pagefile.sys 4096 4096</li>
<li>Save this</li>
</ol>
<p>Note: It&#8217;s still recommended to have the Pagefiles on the same partition as the system</p>
<p>You can get more information in this Microsoft Knowledge Base entry: <a title="How to overcome the 4,095 MB paging file size limit in Windows" href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237740" target="_blank">How to overcome the 4,095 MB paging file size limit in Windows</a></p>
<p>How to do this with Powershell: <a title="Powershell: Changing registry key value" href="http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2010/08/powershell-changing-registry-key-value/" target="_blank">Powershell: Changing registry key value</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we a ticket which was escalated by the second level support to the engineering. A customer could not download, remove or rename the file via FTP. The Hosting is running on a Windows Server 2003 R2 with IIS6. After checking the file on the filesystem I saw that the filename had a space in before.</p>
<p><strong>Normalfilename:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;filename.html&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Wrongfilename:</strong></p>
<p>&#8221; filename.html&#8221;</p>
<p>You cannot really name a file like that with a windows machine. But Linux and Unix systems like Mac OS X allow this.</p>
<p>After renaming the file to a normal Windows filename, the customer you download the file again.</p>
<p>Btw you can simple rename the file with powershell</p>
<p><code>Rename-Item " filename.html" "newfilename.html"</code></p>

<p>To enable IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 or IIS7 in Windows Vista RTM with the appropriate MIME Types, add:</p>
<ul>
<li>.xap     application/x-silverlight-app</li>
<li>.xaml    application/xaml+xml</li>
<li>.xbap    application/x-ms-xbap</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<h3>Adding MIME Types by a simple VB script:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Here is a VBS script you could run to enable each of these types:</li>
</ul>
<p><code><br />
Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2<br />
'<br />
if WScript.Arguments.Count &lt; 2 then<br />
WScript.Echo "Usage: " + WScript.ScriptName + " extension mimetype"<br />
WScript.Quit<br />
end if<br />
'<br />
'Get the mimemap object.<br />
Set MimeMapObj = GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/MimeMap")<br />
'<br />
'Get the mappings from the MimeMap property.<br />
aMimeMap = MimeMapObj.GetEx("MimeMap")<br />
'<br />
' Add a new mapping.<br />
i = UBound(aMimeMap) + 1<br />
Redim Preserve aMimeMap(i)<br />
Set aMimeMap(i) = CreateObject("MimeMap")<br />
aMimeMap(i).Extension = WScript.Arguments(0)<br />
aMimeMap(i).MimeType = WScript.Arguments(1)<br />
MimeMapObj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE, "MimeMap", aMimeMap<br />
MimeMapObj.SetInfo<br />
'<br />
WScript.Echo "MimeMap successfully added: "<br />
WScript.Echo "    Extension: " + WScript.Arguments(0)<br />
WScript.Echo "    Type:      " + WScript.Arguments(1)</code></p>
<ul>
<li>If you copy and paste the code above into a VBS file and save it as ADDMIMETYPE.VBS the syntax to add each type would be:</li>
</ul>
<p>ADDMIMETYPE.VBS  .xap  application/x-silverlight-app ADDMIMETYPE.VBS  .xaml application/xaml+xmlADDMIMETYPE.VBS  .xbap application/x-ms-xbap</p>
<p>or you could add it very simple over the IIS Manager.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight I did a bigger P2V (physical 2 virtual) migration. I virtualized an older Windows Server 2003 SP1 with <a title="MS SQL Server 2005" href="http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/" target="_blank">MS SQL Server 2005</a> and <a title="WSS 3.0 Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_SharePoint_Services" target="_blank">WSS 3.0</a>. This can be used as a step by step how-to guide.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>First I created a Image of the old server with <a title="Symantec BackupExec System Recovery 2010" href="http://www.symantec.com/business/backup-exec-system-recovery-server-edition" target="_blank">Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 2010</a>, this could be done online. I just stopped all the Sharepoint, SQL and Web Services so that no new data could be written in the time I created this Image.</li>
<li>After I moved this Image to the <a title="Microsoft Hyper-v" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/hyperv-main.aspx" target="_blank">Microsoft Hyper-V</a> Host Server, I started to convert the v2i Image with Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 to a Microsoft VHD.</li>
<li>I created a new Virtual Machine on the Hyper-V Server and added this existing <a title="VHD Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHD_(file_format)" target="_blank">VHD</a>. (Important here: I tried to create the same Hardware environment for the VM which I had as physical Hardware before. (Dual Core with 2048MB memory) So I had basically no problem to start the Virtual Machine.</li>
<li>Now its time to install the Hyper-v integration components (the VM Drivers) which can only be installed on Windows Server 2003 with SP2 or later. I turned off the Virtual Machine again and attached the VHD File offline on my Hyper-v Server, so I had file access to the Virtual Hard Disk. I simply added the Servicepack 2 file to the root of the VHD.</li>
<li>After unmounting the VHD, I started my Virtual Machine again and installed the Servicepack 2 and the Hyper-v Integration components.</li>
<li>Now I added more Hardware to the Virtual Machine (Quad-Core and 4GB memory). I also change the Legacy Network Adapters to normal Network Adapters (higher Network performance)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The performance of the new Hyper-v is just pretty impressive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I got a error message from our monitoring that Rsync Service on one of our server doesn&#8217;t run. Reinstalling the service does not solve the problem. I could start the service but after some seconds the service stopped again.</p>
<p>The Event Log shows the following information:</p>
<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste">==============================</div>
<div>Event Type:	Information</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Event Source:	RsyncServer</div>

<div id="_mcePaste">Description:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( RsyncServer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: RsyncServer: PID 1856: `RsyncServer&#8217; service stopped, exit status: 11.</div>
<div>==============================</div>
</blockquote>
<div>There is a pretty easy solution for this problem:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Delete the .pid file in the cwrsync directory (in our case this is: C:\Program Files\ICW)</li>
<li>now start the service</li>
</ul>
</div>
