We're in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. We noticed that outlook web apps are now being integrated into the Outlook client. The problem I'm seeing is we're being prompted to login to OWA in order access the feature. Is there any way to enable an auto login, while still keeping forms based authentication for OWA?
I have some values that I want formatted in a specific way. To be very clear, its an IP address octet and I want it in a "xxx" format. For example if I have a octet value of "20" I want to display it as "020" not "20".
I'm ultimately going to have an array filled with IP's and I want to properly format all of them.
Here is one example that I know works, and I've figured out vie a get-member that this is an integer.
$Test = 1
$Test.ToString("000")
001
This does NOT work. I've figured out via a Get-Member that the value is a string already.
$Test = "1"
$test.ToString("000")
Cannot find an overload for "tostring" and the argument count: "1".
At line:1 char:2
+ $test.tostring("000")
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodCountCouldNotFindBest
Any idea on how I can get the value that's already a string formatted like i can with the value that's an integer? Long term i'm hoping the example $test will actually contain a full IP address.
For example 10.10.10.10 I'd like to be 010.010.010.010
Answer For those interested. By utilizing @GregL example I was able to put together a working example for a full IP format with leading zeros which is shown below for reference.
$Test = "10.10.10.10"
$test2 = ($test.Split(".") | ForEach-Object {$_.tostring().padleft(3, '0')}) -join "."
We have newer gen 2 switched PDU's and I noticed that they have an ability to daisy chain the PDU's. I can see that dasily chaning allows us to have a central access point for the PDU's which is nice. The one thing my team and i were thinking and could seem to figure out, is if this setup allows you to create an outlet group that spans the two PDU's. So I have have a device that has a power cord in each PDU, it would be awesome to have a single group so that I can just click on "power on/off" group and it kill the ports on both PDU's at the same time.
Does anyone know if that ability exists and if they're using it in their environment? If so, any documentation on getting that configured would be appreciated.
EDIT 1:
In case it helps, the APC model is "AP8941"
All,
I'm in the process of evaluating SQL AlwaysOn, and everything is failing over as expected, except in one circumstance, when the disk goes belly up. In this case, SQL does nothing, other than present the following two errors.
The error makes sense, as I've dropped the drive that also contains TempDB, but what concerns me, is dropping the drive doesn't seem to be catastrophic enough to cause a fail over.
Am I missing something here? I tried adding the drive to wsfc, but because its not a clustered drive, it doesn't seem that it will work, as each individuals servers drive shows up as a separate resource.
Edit 1: The only event log entry is as follows. Once again, pretty much an expected error.
The operating system returned error 21(The device is not ready.) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0x00000000382000 in file 'E:\Data\vcdb.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
I'm trying to get my head around how a multi lane x4 SAS connector works in a DAS system such as the Dell MD1000. I understand that each lane is 3Gbps, and that multiple hard drives can share a lane. What I'm having trouble finding information on is how are drives assigned to a lane, and how does that change when you daisy chain two additional md1000's to another md1000?
That's 15 disks per shelf and a total of 45 disks in a three shelf configuration. This would be in a single path configuration BTW, meaning one x4 SAS cable.
Edit 1:
All, first thanks for all the help, but I think you're all heading down a slightly different path than what I'm asking. I get the whole thorughput saturation, that wasn't my question. I know what the theoretical max is simply based on the fact that the server has a single 12g conection per array of shelves. Meaning Server >>>>12g>>>>MD10001>>>>>MD10002>>>>>MD10003 is going to be 12g as it all depends on the servers single connection and each md1000 is daisy chained with a 12Gbps link.
My question is simply if there are 15 drives per shelf and 3 shelves, how do i know which drives go on which lane of a given 4x connector? While it's likely not to matter in the end, i was merely curious.
Also FYI, the enclosure is SAS, but the drives are SATA.
I have what I think is a quick easy question. I'd like to apply a service pack to my exchange 2007 mailbox server. I don't have a CCR setup, so its a pretty standard configuration. We do have it running on VMware and I plan on snapshotting it before the service pack is applied.
My question is, can certain aspects of exchange be disabled so that outlook can't connect to the mailbox server before I snapshot/update the server? I'd like to avoid any data loss if it can be done. For example, one idea I had was disabling the mailbox databases and then patching the server. However, I don't know if that can be done.
Another idea I had was patching the exchange server while the network is disconnected, but once again, I don't know if that would work either.
