Situation: I have a 32bit file server running Windows Server 2003. I have a new 2008 R2 (x64) file server running on Hyper-V. Did I mention that the R2 server is on Clustered hosts?
This is all simple. Just drop the LUNs from the file server, give them to the cluster and assign them as pass [...]

I have been using DPM for about 7 months now. (I tested with it for a few months before that.) I never installed 2006, but 2007 seems to be working ok. I have a few complaints, but I have complaints about all the backup software that I have ever used. None of it really makes [...]
Of the new features coming in the R2 versions of Windows Server 2008 and SCVMM, I think these two are the obvious winners:
Support for Live Migration: With Windows 2008 R2 adding support for Live migration, it’s now added as a new migration option in VMM R2. Live migration requires the source and destination host to [...]

I use Server 2008 for a lot of things these days and I tend to not use the Windows firewall for most applications. Here is an interesting note for the right and wrong way to disable the firewall and why doing things “the way we have always done them” isn’t always the right way:

So I don’t really Blog very much anyway, but that just means, that I want to keep all the entries that I have created over the past 5 years. In moving to a new Blog, I don’t want to just dump the old stuff.
WordPress is pretty popular with the group I work with, so that [...]
Users are getting the above error due to an invalid entry in the APPSRV.INI file. To fix it:

In Windows XP – C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\ICAClient\
2. Find the line beginning with”LogFileWin32”, it should be near the [...]
I am running Data Protection Manager 2007 on Windows Server 2008 (x64). I have not been able to use the reporting piece, and haven’t been running DPM long enough to wonder much about it, but when I went to finally figure it out the answer was rather simple. If you want to fix it, [...]
I was going to extend a volume on one of my Server 2008 Core machines, and it told me “there is not enough space to perform this action”…
There was however enough space, but for some reason Microsoft Forefront decided that I shouldn’t be allowed to extend a volume remotely. So I disabled the services and [...]
