1. Login as Root user on your ESX server.
2. Type: #esxcfg-hwiscsi –j enable <vmhba#>
3. If successful, you should get the “MTU size successfully set to : 9000” message.
4. To verify the change type: #esxcfg-hwiscsi –l <vmhba#>

All done!

1. Open the GPMC.msc.
2. Create or open a GPO which will be applied to your server(s).
3. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections.
4. Enable the “Do not show the “local access only” network icon” setting.
5. Close the GPO and GPMC.msc.
6. Run C:\>gpupdate on the server(s) to apply the new policy.

The “No Internet Access” notification should be disabled now.

• You have a computer that has Outlook 2003 (SP2) or 2007, Exchange 2007 Management Tools (32-bit version), PowerShell and .NET Framework installed
• Logon with an account that has Exchange Server Administrator and Local Administrator rights
• You have full access to the users’ mailbox on both servers. See the note below on how to do it.

1. Start the Exchange Management Shell and type the following:[PS] C:\>Get-Mailbox –Database “<Exchange Server FQDN>\<Database Name>” | Export-Mailbox –PSTFolderPath C:\PSTFiles to export all users mailbox to a PST file. Press A for Yes to All. Depending on the size of your database, the export procedure could take a long time to complete.
2. Now the mailboxes are exported to the PST files, make sure that the PST file name matches the alias of the users’ account in the other domain.
3. Next, import the PST files to the other Exchange Server by typing the following: [PS] C:\>Get-Mailbox –Database “<Exchange Server FQDN>\<Database Name>” | Import-Mailbox –PSTFolderPath C:\PSTFiles and press A for Yes for All. Wait until the import operation completes.

Note:
To grant the Administrator Full Access rights on the database type the following command:
[PS] C:\>Get-Mailbox -Database “<Exchange Server FQDN>\<Database Name>” | Add-ADPermission -User Administrator -AccessRights GenericAll

Follow these steps to change the text on a Windows Server 2008 (R2) machine:

1. Logon to your server with the Administrator account.
2. Start RegEdit and navigate to the following key: HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
3. If necessary, take the ownership of this key, grant yourself full control rights and then edit the LocalizedString value.
4. In the edit window type: %UserName% on %ComputerName%. Click OK and close RegEdit.
5. Press F5 somewhere on the desktop and the text on the Computer icon should now display the logged on user name.

Tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 Build 7600.

Before you begin, don’t forget to open the default UDP 123 port (in- and outbound) on your firewall.

1. First, locate your PDC Server. Open the command prompt and type: C:\>netdom /query fsmo
2. Log in to your PDC Server and open the command prompt.
3. Stop the W32Time service: C:\>net stop w32time
4. Configure the external time sources, type: C:\> w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:”0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org”
5. Make your PDC a reliable time source for the clients. Type:C:\>w32tm /config /reliable:yes
6. Start the w32time service: C:\>net start w32time
7. The windows time service should begin synchronizing the time. You can check the external NTP servers in the time configuration by typing: C:\>w32tm /query /configuration
8. Check the Event Viewer for any errors.

Tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Build 7600).

And then, I FORGOT to add the new Port to the so called ‘Windows Firewall with Advanced Security’ .. it was like a lighting strike in my body when I clicked ‘restart Server’

So, I used putty to open an SSH connection to the server. Easy I thought, REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp” /t REG_DWORD /v PortNumber /d d3d /f

noooo, Access Denied .. ok, UAC is enabled .. tried to figure out if there’s a way to elevate the prompt .. but didn’t find a route/solution .. so I decided to reboot the server in Windows Recovery Mode, started regedit.exe and used load hive to load the SYSTEM Hive (found under C:\Windows\System32\Config). entered a name for the temporary hive, changed the PortNumber (always use CurrentControlSet1 – it’s the last successful config) and unloaded the hive.. then I remembered that I read an article about editing the registry ‘offline’ using reg.exe .. just to verify if the changed values have really been written in the SYSTEM Registry I used:

reg load HKLM\Win_SYSTEM C:\windows\system32\config\system
reg query "HKLM\Win_SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp"
reg unload HKLM\Win_SYSTEM

and see what I got:

another option is to disable the Firewall completely using this bat/cmd file:

@echo off
:start
echo ****************************************************************

echo *             1 : Disable Windows firewall on server           *
echo *                                                              *
echo *             2 : Enable Windows firewall on server            *

 goto start

@echo Firewall Disabled !
@echo off
goto end

:end
pause

maybe this is of help for someone..

C:\> tasklist /FI "modules eq vstoee.dll"
