On Windows Server 2008, if you set up perfmon counters, most of the UI is dedicated to the graph, and at the bottom of the screen you get a tiny scrollable area where you can only see one counter at a time. Does anyone know how to fix it so that you can expand that area at the bottom?
I am using freeSwitch to terminate calls that originate on the local network from an IVR system. I have it working with several different voip terminators, and I can record sessions successfully, except when the call gets transferred. When I do a transfer, I see two WAV files, one of which is the original session in which I can hear the call up until the transfer. The other file is all silence, which I assume is the session up to the point where the INVITE is answered. But I get no audio of the conversation after the transfer. My suspicion is that freeSwitch is not hairpinning the audio, so it does not have access to the RTP.
I pasted everything from the console at http://pastebin.freeswitch.org/16027.
What hardware would you recommend for saving database backups with the following setup:
5 separate physical hosts, each with one Sql Server 2008 database. Each instance is larger than 200Gb. Each database does one full backup per day, and differentials every few hours. I want to keep a week of backups off-machine in a location that makes it quick and easy to restore a database to a different box if necessary.
Currently they are all sending compressed backups to a single large file share, which is overwhelmed and causes backups to fail frequently.
And as an additional question, what's the fastest and most cost effective way to copy the local backups to a remote server?
There are certain database maintenance tasks, like re-organizing indexes, moving files, changing schema, etc, that require disabling any applications that are using the database.
What are some good strategies for working around this, aside from just posting a message on your site like "we will be down from midnight to 4 AM EST for server maintenance"?
I found this KB artice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042
But it involves a bunch of manual registry hacks. I was hoping to find something buried in Administrative Tools somewhere that allowed me to do this.
I'm using Windows Server 2003.
Is minicom the only option? I need to be able to modem in to some ancient applications that are commonly accessed by ProComm running on Windows, but I would like to do this from a Linux box.
There is a well known deficiency in the Windows Server 2008 backup utility that does not allow you to easily back up Exchange 2007, the way you could with NtBackup in 2k3. The Exchange team promised a solution but never provided one.
What are some (hopefully cheap) options?
