Then just run setup.exe from LTSB ISO (extracted to a temp folder somewhere).

 

Reducing memory usage on SBS servers

http://blog.switchsystems.co.uk/2014/01/reducing-memory-usage-on-sbs-servers/

 

Lately we’ve been having some very sluggish performance out-of-the-box from some SBS servers, so i’ve been tweaking some configurations to make the servers perform a bit better. Things like:

  • Limiting store.exe (Exchange Information Store) memory usage
  • Limiting Sharepoint database memory usage
  • Limiting WSUS database memory usage
  • Making Remote Web Workspace “Connect to computer” work when 0 memory is available

Follow the steps below to tune your memory usage – and be warned, if you do things incorrectly then you can actually decrease the performance of your server!

Exchange and store.exe

You probably know that store.exe will normally just consume all available memory until the system decies that something else uses it, then it tries to relinquish that allocated memory. In practice we’ve found that this comes at a performance hit for other programs, so here’s how to limit the amount of memory store.exe utilises:

Overview: Use ADSIedit.msc to update msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin and msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax with page sizes.

  1. Run adsiedit.msc
  2. Connect to: Select a well known Naming Context : [Configuration]
  3. Expand the following:
    • Configuration\Services\Microsoft Exchange\ (First Organization) \Administrative Groups\ (Exchange Administrative Group) \Servers\ (Server Name)
  4. Right click on CN=Information Store and click properties
  5. Update the values of msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin and msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax with values from the following table:
    Target Cache Size
    in GB
    msExchESEParamCacheSize
    for 2010+ (32KB pages)
    msExchESEParamCacheSize
    for 2007 (8KB pages)
    1 32768 131072
    2 65536 262144
    3 98304 393216
    4 131072 524288
    6 196608 786432
    8 262144 1048576
    10 327680 1310720
    12 393216 1572864
    14 458752 1835008
    16 524288 2097152
    18 589824 2359296
    20 655360 2621440

  6. Restart the Information Store service for the changes to take affect.
Why set both min AND max sizes?Because the default min size as of Exch2010SP1 is fairly large, so it will never use your max setting if you don’t set an appropriate min!

Sharepoint MSSQL database

The obvious use-case for most businesses is to just disable the service, as we don’t know anyone who runs SBS and actually uses Sharepoint, but if you do, you can limit it’s memory usage via the SQL Management Studio.

  1. Run the SQL Server Management Studio program (should be in Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 [R2]) from an ELEVATED ADMINISTRATOR session (right click on the shortcut and do ‘run as administrator’)
  2. Connect to: [SERVERNAME]\Sharepoint , using Windows Authentication
  3. Right click on the SQL server at the top of the tree view and select properties
  4. Goto the Memory section and then type in a value for “Maximum server memory (in MB)”
    It’s a good idea to first check how much memory it’s currently using via the task manager!
  5. Click OK
  6. Restart the SQL Service

WSUS Database

We’re going to do exactly the same thing for the WSUS database. It’s actually on it’s own “windows internal database” and not MSSQL Server, and it won’t allow TCP connections by default – this means we have to use a named pipe of \\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query to connect to it.

  1. Run the SQL Server Management Studio program (should be in Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 [R2]) from an ELEVATED ADMINISTRATOR session (right click on the shortcut and do ‘run as administrator’)
  2. Connect to: \\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query , using Windows Authentication
  3. Right click on the SQL server at the top of the tree view and select properties
  4. Goto the Memory section and then type in a value for “Maximum server memory (in MB)”
    It’s a good idea to first check how much memory it’s currently using via the task manager!
  5. Click OK
  6. Restart the SQL Service

Configuring Remote Web Workspace

Since the .net 4.5.1 framework update, there may be problems launching .net processes out of IIS – this is due to some memory checking that now happens which checks that you have at least 5% free memory. The following error is logged in the event log:

Exception type: InsufficientMemoryException
Exception message: Memory gates checking failed because the free memory (xxxx bytes) is less than 5% of total memory. 
As a result, the service will not be available for incoming requests. 
To resolve this, either reduce the load on the machine or 
adjust the value of minFreeMemoryPercentageToActivateService on the serviceHostingEnvironment config element.

This can be fixed by performing the following:

  • Open web.config file located at: “%ProgramFiles%\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\WebApp\RemoteAccess”.
  • Search in Web.config for “<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled=”true” />”, change this line to “<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled=”true” minFreeMemoryPercentageToActivateService=”0″/>
  • Save changes and close the file.
  • Run IISRESET from an elevated Command Prompt window

Navon Platinum Explorer “Android logónál” lefagyó készülék

http://itcafe.hu/tema/navon_platinum_explorer_7_android_navigacio/hsz_161-180.html

Hibajelenség: először kevés tárhely hiba jelentkezik és/aztán egymás után lefagyó processzek, majd végül egyáltalán nem indul újra a készülék, “Android logónál” megáll. (Olyan szinten maga alá szemetel a SW, hogy nem tud újraindulni…) Valójában nem áll meg, hanem boot-loop-ba kerül, végtelen hurokba, hibára futva újra-újra indul.
A hiba oka a memória megtelik.
Megoldás:
DDMS-sel (Dalvik Debug Monitor Service) a File Explorer-ben a data\dalvik-cache\ -ben lévő fájlokat kitörölni egyesével, vagyis a dalvik-cache-t kitörölni.
Egyébként minden valamirevaló androidos eszközön van recovery menu, ahol ezt meglehet csinálni, az pedig felháboritó, hogy reset gomb-bal nem lehet a gyári beállitásokat visszatölteni!
Folyamat:
1) ADB driver telepités: http://filetram.com/mediafire/adb-drivers-allwinnera10-32and64-zip-8954671813
2) DDMS telepités, én az Android SDK, java SDK és eclipse telepitéssel csináltam: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html vagy http://swguru.hu/android_fejlesztokornyezet_telepitese
fontos, hogy vigyük végig a telepitést pontosan.
3) készülék inditás, ADB driver telepités, Eszközkezelőben Android ADB Device megjelenik
4) Eclipse inditás, Welcome ablak bezárás, ha még nem lenne bezárva
5) Jobb felső sarokban: Open Perspective (ikon kék ablakocska, sárga kis kereszt) –> DDMS (zöld ikon) kiválasztás
6) DDMS ablak megjelenik, bal oldalon Devices, ha csatlakoztatjuk a telefont, akkor megjelenik az eszköz. Jobb oldalon File Explorer
7) File Exlorer-ben tallózzuk be a data\data\dalvik-cache és törölgessük ki belőle a fájlokat.
8) ha jól csináltuk bal oldalon a device alatt látjuk, hogy processzek egymás után indulnak el és végül bebootol a készülék.
9) mentés visszaállitásban végezzük el a gyári beállitások visszaállitását

Viszont, hogy a kedves usernek ne naplózzon tovább ez a csodakütyü, ezt hajtottam végre:
“My fix was easy. I hope it helps you.
Edit gpsconfig.xml found at /system/etc/gps/
Near the top:
cLogEnabled=”true”
to:
cLogEnabled=”false”
Reboot
Delete the log files.”

SBS 2011 POP3 connector probléma

invalid headers hibával nem tölti le a pop3 connector a leveleket

legtöbb esetben a problémát az okozza, hogy a válaszcím nincs megfelelően megadva, vagy a feladó domain nem valós
mailer daemon és olvasási visszaigazolás általában a probléma

megoldás a problémára:
echange management shell >

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity ($Env:computername + “\Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive ” + $Env:computername) -DefaultDomain $Env:UserDNSDomain

powershell alapok

We use this variable when there is a requirement for us to collect system related information like:

COMPUTERNAME,
HOMEDRIVE,
LOGONSERVER,
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS,
OS,
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE,
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER,
PROCESSOR_LEVEL,
PROCESSOR_REVISION,
SESSIONNAME,
SystemDrive,
SystemRoot,
USERDNSDOMAIN,
USERDOMAIN,
USERNAME, USERPROFILE, windir.

So for collecting these kind of information and the like we will have to use $env variable.

For ex:
$env:COMPUTERNAME will display the hostname of the computer.
$env:LOGONSERVER will display the name of the server to which the user has logged in.
$env:USERDNSDOMAIN will display the name of the DNS Server
$env:USERNAME will display the name of the user who has logged in.
$env:USERPROFILE will display the path of the user profile.
$env:windir will display the path of the WINDOWS directory.

iphone exchange activesync jelkódzár probléma

Ha iphone, vagy ipad levelezőjében exchange fiókot használunk, be kell kapcsolni a jelkódzárat a szinkronizáláshoz.
Ezt a következőképpen lehet kikapcsolni:
Az exchange actvesync mailbox policies-ben ki kell kapcsolni a jelszó kérést.

exchange management console >
organization configuration >
client acces >
exchange active syns mailbox policies >
default > properties
password tab >
require password pipa kivesz

ettől persze nem lesz biztonságosabb a rendszerünk, csak kényelmesebb :)

SBS 2011 sbsmonitoring adatbázis pucolás

Ha túl nagyra nő az SBSMonitoring.mdf adatbázis, lelassul a szerver, a DataCollectorSvc.exe rengeteg memóriát eszik.

Az adatbázis újrakreálása:

To recreate the databases use these steps:

    1. Download the following package:

https://skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MonitoringDBRecreate/Create-SBSMonitoringDb.zip?cid=d5fe25afb6c3615f&sc=documents

  1. Extract the files to c:\windows\temp
  2. Complete the one set of the following steps according to the version you are working with:

For SBS 2008

  1. Launch an administrative PowerShell session
  2. Launch the script:
    C:\windows\temp\Create-SBSMonitoringDb.ps1
  3. After completing the script and verifying that that monitoring is working, complete the steps in this article:http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/07/14/sbs-2008-console-may-take-too-long-to-display-alerts-and-security-statuses-display-not-available-or-crash.aspx

For SBS 2011 Standard

  1. Launch “C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\MoveDataPowerShellHost.exe” as an administrator
  2. Launch the script:
    C:\windows\temp\Create-SBSMonitoringDb.ps1

Trouble Shooting:

File C:\windows\temp\create-sbsmonitoringdb.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see “get-help about_signing” for more details.
By default we should have the required code execution policy on our SBS servers, this issue is usually related to the way the script was downloaded into the affected server. Open the properties of the download script file from Windows Explorer and click on the Unblock option.
