We have a 2-node SQL Server 2008 RS cluster. The data and log partitions are shared among the cluster nodes. Does the tempDB partition need to be shared as well, or will local server node storage suffice?
I want to restart a service on a remote machine using PowerShell. The service has both a displayname and an instancename. Can I use the Restart-Service cmdlet to do this? I don't see an instancename parameter, and I can't seem to make the "displayname$instancename" syntax work.
This syntax does not work:
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Restart-Service -displayname 'DisplayName$InstanceName' -PassThru}
I thought at first the problem was the $ character, but I found that this syntax does work:
Get-Service 'displayname$instancename'
I'm testing my application for compatibility with Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to do this in a clean virtual machine. I know that Microsoft Virtual PC only supports 32-bit operating systems. Will Microsoft Virtual Server allow me to create a Windows 7 64-bit client?
I work in a tiny two-person software company. The other employee is literally half a world away. I'd like to set up our single Windows server to provide all the services we'll need to run our domain. Here's what we have configured so far:
- Dell PowerEdge 2900
- Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2
- Active Directory (domain controller)
- DNS Server
- IIS
My challenge is to set up a VPN that would allow the remote worker to sign into the domain. What's the easiest/best way to do this?
