Rename the default folders / Outlook 2010
Thursday, August 25th, 2011In Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 environment, if the network environment is set to enable Delay ACK and storage is connected with iSCSI, an iScsiPrt error is output to the System Event Log when a general operation is executed
Monday, August 22nd, 2011Disable Delay ACK
Setting the Registry value TcpAckFrequency to 1
according to the technical information below will disable Delay ACK. This will
prevent the resend processing time from going to 5 frame/sec when a packet is
dropped. Using this method will not prevent packets from being dropped, but
even if they are dropped the resend processing delay will be improved, so that
time outs will not occur.
Subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<Interface
GUID>
Entry: TcpAckFrequency
Value Type: REG_DWORD, number
Valid
Range: 0-255
Default: 2
Forward Event Log from several server to a central Windows 2008 server
Friday, August 19th, 2011So what we have is a Windows 2008 server running as an event log collector which gets the event log from one or several sources. To prepare, we need to do 3 steps:
1. On the collector, on an elevated command prompt, run the following command to start the Windows Event Collector Service, change it to Automatically (Delayed Start) and enable ForwardedEvents channel if it is disabled. See this for more info.
wecutil qc
2.On each source, we need to enable WinRM:
winrm quickconfig
3.By default, the collector server can’t simply get the event logs from the sources, so you have to add the collector computer account to the local Administrators (if the source is 2008 R2, Event Log Readers group is said to be enough if you’re not collecting Security log, but see Possible Problems later in this article for more info).
