How I get the server I want: #1 Disabling the shutdown event tracker

I think that the shutdown event tracker came in in Server 2003, and I'm sure that in some data centres it is a very useful tool for logging why servers were manually shut down. On a demo system, it tends to be a nuisance. Hyper-v, for example, disables

Hyper-V RC-1 available for download

There was a slight hiccup which meant news appeared, disappeared and then re-appeared. But all the right announcements are posted, notably this one from Taylor Brown on the Virtualization team blog. Windows Server 2008 Patch KB950049 - the Hyper-V RC-1

Search: A quick round-up

I've been meaning to have a play with Search Server since Viral demo'd it on the last roadshow. We have a downloadable VHD for it with a very good walk-through, I can say that honestly because I've just spent a couple of hours walking through it. Of course

Product life cycles (and Virtual Server 2005)

It's always nice when someone says James O'Neill, IT Pro Evangelist at Microsoft, reveals that Virtual Server 2005 support will end in 2014 - except that then people come and demand to know why you're revealing product plans. So, lets start with a basic

PowerShell and Telnet.

I've got a backlog of posts at the moment. Steve and I have been getting ready for the Road-show, and Windows deployment services, System Center Virtual Machine Manager, Virtual Server Clustering, iScsi, dual booting Windows Server 2003 & 2008, and

"Perfidious Microsoft"

I don't know whether to be angry or frustrated, and whether the target should be journalists who make mountains out of molehills, or the people in Redmond who give them the molehill to start with. Here's the story. The Windows update software changes

Sun to become Windows Server OEM.

That's a title I never expected to type. Check calendar. No it's not April 1st. I got a mail annoucing this, but it's not yet on it's now on Presspass , but and it's on Sun's home page right now with a link to " Get the news and replay audio cast " Considering

Virtualization on tour, SCVMM Released and a peek at WSV

I remember the first time I saw the comedian Eddie Izzard perform live, he walked onto the stage in Oxford, and looked around the audience. There wasn't a single empty seat. He said "I've sold out! People always say 'Stay true to yourself and never sell

Announcing the Virtual server Res-Kit and a great tool.

The tool is VMRCplus - an alternate UI as opposed to the Virtual Server web interface. VMRCplus uses the documented Virtual Server COM interface and is a great example of what can be accomplished with it. In due course VMRCplus will soon be available

Vista's network throughput improvements

There is a rule for presenters: every time you put an equation on the board/screen you lose about half the audience. I think that can also apply to presenting on the ins and outs of a network stack. We've got clever with the stack in Vista, and Server

Optimization - or how long will some jobs last.

Hugh's Cartoons seem get straight to the heart of the matter. Service functions like Accounting, IT, Personnel, PR and Purchasing don't deliver product and they don't influence customers to buy it. They are there to help the others to do get on with their

Windows 2003 SP2 slipstreaming - a gotcha with R2.

You know that manager saying about "Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions ?" It took me a long time to see it as "Think a bit longer and tell me what you think we should do." But in either form it's something I couldn't say to a customer. And some

On Time-zones...

Spring is here, Spring is here ... I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring, yes I do, don't you ? course you do. Actually when I look at the weather it's doesn't look like spring. But unlike Tom Lehrer , the one thing that makes spring complete

Virtualization - never knowing where your next core comes from ?

Returning from TechReady4 I've noticed some trends in how we are going to think about datacenters over the next few years. Moore's law just keeps on going (to everyone's surprise including Gordon Moore*). When I was a student in the mid 1980's I had to

Ooops. I gave out some duff information about limiting logons

As Eileen has already said our team spent last week at the BETT show . My first "proper" IT job after leaving university was working for RM who are the biggest supplier of IT to education and I did a couple of BETT shows when I worked for them; it's the
