Quick Anti-Spam Setup in Exchange 2007

Sure Outlook has great spam-filtering, but what if you are relying on Outlook Web Access instead? You will waste a lot of time moving messages to the Junk folder. Or even consider the amount of bandwidth saved by having the server do filtering rather than the client. Thankfully it is quite easy to setup...

Axvius server upgrade

Last night we upped the RAM count to 6GB (from 2GB). I'm pretty sure that was completely unnecessary, but it is still sweet. There are some weird things you notice when you get that much RAM: the pagefile is reported by Task Manager to be over 12GB, and the hibernate file takes up over 6GB. Hopefully...

Near server disaster averted by computer experts

Well I wouldn't say we are experts, but we definitely did have a near disaster. It started 3 days ago when I installed an NVIDIA driver and program to monitor the RAID 5 running on our server's M2N-E motherboard. It reported to me that the array was in a degraded state, but did not allow for...

FTP7, Exchange 2007, Default Website Problems

I just saw yesterday that FTP7 was out. So of course I went off to install it. When I was done, the Default Web Site on the server no longer worked, including Outlook Web Access. Much panic ensued, as in the past OWA has been very finicky and once broken it stays broken. It turns out that I had uninstalled...

Finally! Dev machine can run Windows Server 2003

I've finally figured out a way to install Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Server 2003. This has been the only thing holding me back from running Windows Server 2003 on my developer machine. http://www.msblog.org/index.php/2006/12/17/install-windows-media-player-11-on-windows-server-2003/

Exchange 2007 - OWA Direct File Access

A new feature in Exchange 2007 and OWA (Outlook Web Access) is direct file access to a SharePoint or Windows File Share. Enabling this feature is a snap, well always on the second try. On the server-side: Fire up the Exchange Management Console... Go to Server Configuration -> Client Access, select...

RAID 5 HDD Benchmarck

I just finished running a benchmark on the new server's RAID 5 array. Nothing really surprising but decent performance I think. There are 4 500GB Seagate ST3500630AS drives in a RAID 5 using the built-in NVRAID on a Asus M2N-E motherboard. The OS is on a separate drive.

How Not to Setup a Server the Easy Way

Well here we go; I'm going to detail the unpleasant experience of setting up our new server as best as I can remember it. Problem 1: Floppy disk with drivers needed for RAID functionality. We actually had a floppy drive, and even a computer to connect it to, but no floppy disks could be found. So...
