SBS 2008 Monitoring Database Maintenance

If you find that the SBSMONITORING instance of SQL Server is using up more than its fair share of resources (1.5GB+ RAM) and the
"SBSMonitoring.mdf" and "SBSMonitoring_log.LDF" files are over 4GB in size you need to run a maintenance script on the database and then shrink it.

SQL Server Express supports a maximum data file size of 4GB - once this limit is reached the SBS monitoring stops working.

To resolve this download this sql script:
http://cid-d5fe25afb6c3615f.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/updateSBSMonitoring.sql

Run this script using:
Sqlcmd -S %computername%\SBSMonitoring -E  -i c:\path\to\updateSBSMonitoring.sql

If this runs successfully you should see:
Changed database context to 'SBSMonitoring'
(1 rows affected)

This can take a while to process (45min on a large database)

This will ensure that the database will contain no more than 90 days worth of data.

Next we need to shrink the database size:

Run the "SQL server management studio express
Ensure that "SERVERNAME\SBSMONITORING" is selected and "Windows Authentication" is used and click "Connect"
Expand Databases and find the SBSMonitoring, right click it and choose Tasks -> Shrink -> Database

This will run for a while (20min) after which the database size should reduce to a much smaller size (about 300MB or so in some cases)

Copy TS client license

If we have a broken Terminal Server that cannot issue client licenses - causing RDP connection errors for new client PCs.

Export the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing" key 

from a working machine on the network and import it onto the new client PC. This should resolve the RDP certificate issue and allow the client to connect.

NOTE: The real solution would be to resolve the TS Licensing issue - Restore the TS Licensing or re-activate the server using the TS CALs, etc.

Enable Quicklaunch toolbar and Clock for Terminal Server users

To enable the clock and Quicklaunch bar we need to make sure the following GPO are set as follows:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar
DISABLE: Do not display any custom toolbars in the taskbar (This allows the user to activate the QL bar and others if needed - does not turn it on)
DISABLE: Hide the notification area
ENABLE: Prevent changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings
DISABLE: Remove Clock from the system notification area (This setting allows user to turn the clock on - does not actually turn it on)

Right, from a GPO point of view the user should be able to see the QL bar and clock. However you may find that neither the clock nor the QL bar is displayed. To force them to be displayed we need to do the following:

Export the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2

You'll see a "Settings" value, which contains something like this:
28 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 02 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 6d 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 03 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 04 00 00

The nineth pair of digits determines the Taskbar properties. Possible values are:
Always on top = 0x02
Auto hide = 0x01
Show small icons in Start menu = 0x04
Hide clock = 0x08

Combine the properties you want and set the byte. For example:
Always on top + Show small icons + Show clock = 06
Always on top + Show small icons + Hide clock = 0e

Note that the changes do not take effect immediately, you have to restart Explorer, or logoff and logon again to see the changes.

I set it to 02 (Allways on top)

Save this to a .reg file in NETLOGON

Next for the QL bar:

Logon to admin and make sure the QL bar is active
Export the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

to another .reg file in NETLOGON

Next we need to create a user LOGOFF script GPO and link it to the relevant user accounts. The script should push the required registry settings on logoff (we need explorer to be closed for the settings to remain as explorer updates these keys on closing and reads them only at startup)

The script should "regedit /s file.reg" the reg files created above this will add the keys silently.

The settings should apply the next time on user logon after the script as run.

Users running IE8 under TS cannot change Security Levels for the Internet Zone

Source URL: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsserver2008r2general/thread/c5572fc7-6e92-46f8-824d-baca246e3106?prof=required

 

Problem is that normal users have the Internet Zone security level set to High - this cannot be changed. This can cause problems when running certain applications (e.g. Quickbooks). This even overrides a GPO enforcement.

 

Copy this to a reg file and import at logon:

This will restore ability of users to modify Securtiy Level of Internet Zone.

Make an Acronis ABR 10 Bootable CD with Custom Drivers

Source URL: http://kb.acronis.com/de/node/2753

 

Make sure you have applied the Universal Restore key and install the UR components before step 2...

Also make sure you use a non-OEM Win-XP CD (NFR or Retail are ok)

Disable all AV and preferably run from a XP machine (Vista\7 seems to permanently lock certain files interfering with build process)

 

--------------------------------------

You can use Acronis Plug-in for WinPE to build BartPE

Introduction

BartPE is software that allows you to boot into Windows-like environment from media. The main advantage is that it uses Windows drivers and has Windows-like graphical user interface.

Acronis Plug-in for WinPE is available in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 and can be used to build BartPE.

Solution

(!) If you have Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11345, please see Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11345: Backup from BartPE Media Fails with "Failed to enumerate temporary file name. Error code: 267." for correct instructions.

1. Install Acronis WinPE Media Builder (Build 11133 or lower) from the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file;
2. Go to the following folder:

   Windows 32 bit: \Program Files\Acronis\BootableComponents\WinPE
   Windows 64 bit: \Program Files (x86)\Acronis\BootableComponents\WinPE

   and run the export_license.bat script. It will check for available licenses and enable the proper components such as Acronis Universal Restore and/or Deduplication in the plug-in. Running the export_license.bat script will also create acronis.inf file so you can use the plug-in with PE Builder;

3. Download the Bart PE builder;
4. Copy the contents of \Program Files\Acronis\WinPE\WinPE (check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\WinPE\Settings\WinPE for the plug-in location) to the %BartPE folder%\plugins\Acronis;
5. Insert your Windows distribution CD if you do not have a copy of Windows installation files on the HDD;
6. Start the Bart PE builder;
7. Specify the path to the Windows installation files or Windows distribution CD;
8. Click Plugins and check whether the Acronis plug-in is enabled. Enable if disabled;
9. Specify the output folder and the full path to the resulting ISO file including the file name or the media to create;
10. Build the BartPE;
11. Burn the ISO to CD or DVD (if this has not been done yet) or copy to a flash drive.

Once the machine boots into the Bart PE and you configure the network connection, select Go -> System -> Storage -> Acronis True Image to start.

(!) If the media does not boot, see Acronis Backup & Recovery 10: Acronis Bootable Media Created with WinPE 1.6 or BartPE Fails to Start.

Adding drivers

BartPE supports adding two types of drivers: storage drivers and network drivers. For instructions on how to add drivers please refer to http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/help/english/drivers.htm

There is also an option to add storage drivers (for RAID or SCSI devices) during BartPE boot-up. (You need to press F6 and point to the diskette with the drivers). Common storage drivers are available at http://nu2.nu/pebuilder/drivers/.

Basically we need to stop the "Automatic Updates" service - then clear out the "c:\windows\softwaredistribution\" folder - then restart PC and try again.

Map Window Shared Drive in Apple OS-X

Source URL:
http://www.technipages.com/how-to-map-network-drive-in-mac-os-x.html

Scroll down to the comments - this is where the real meat is :)

-------

1) Map a drive to the share.
2) Run "Sytem Preferences"
3) Select "Accounts"
4)Select the User you want to change by double clicking
5) Click on "Login Items"
6) Drag your share over to the Login Items pane. That will add it.
7) Close "System Preferences".

http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/42164-automatically-mount-samba-share.html

-------

Double click on your network drive in finder.
Click on your computer name (don't see your computer name?
Finder->Preferences -> under "General" check "Network Shares")
Drag the network drive to the bottom of the list on the sidebar under
the devices category.

That will allow you to save files to your network DRIVE from within
applications.

Alternately, if you want to access a specific FOLDER on your network
drive, then drag that folder in the same window to the places category
on the sidebar, and it will then show up on save/open application windows.

Perflib Errors

If you see a whole stack - every 5 minutes - of Perflib errors (ID:
1023) in the Application Event Log.
This is basically telling you that the Performance Counters for some
services have been corrupted.

The solution may be to re-install the applications (or replace the
related DLL) or to remove the Performance Counters for those services
entirely:

Disable SBS 2003 EULA Monitoring

Original link: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=173731
Pafts original post drew me to this thread after a google search.
----------------

I also didn't want to have to bother with this crap that my legitimate
copy of Windows SBS couldn't run unless it was a DC. As it happens, we
already had a second licence of SBS and simple wanted to re-use a
currently un-used licence of SBS to implement a webserver, but without
all the bloat that the SBS install affords.

The first thing I did was to install the server normally, the first
chance you get to cancel the install of SBS bloat is when Windows starts
for the first time after install, I seized my opportunity.

What I didn't see however was the quite frankly ridiculous scenario
whereby Microsoft had decided to force restart the server every hour and
NET SEND spam the network "this server doesn't comply with licensing
requirements" across the entire network. Microsoft can stick that.

Anyway, like I said it was Pafts post that brought me here to the forum,
and I've found a slightly more elegant solution to this problem rather
than just aggressively killing the process until Windows gives up trying
to start it again, and I'd like to share it in the hope that Google will
re-index and pick it up for others to use. You may have noticed this
service cannot be disabled via the MMC snap-in.

My search term on google was: how to stop the SBCore service

Anyway, down to business…
- Tools you'll need – Process Explorer from www.sysInternals.com
<http://www.sysInternals.com>

As you probably know, you have a service called SBCore or "SBS Core
Services", which executes the following process:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe

If you kill it, it just restarts – and if you try and stop it you are
told Access Denied.

If you fire up Process Explorer, you can select the process and Suspend
it, now we can start to disable the thing.

Run RegEdit32.exe and expand the nodes until you reach the following
hive / key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SBCore

Right click this, hit permissions and give the "Administrators" group on
the local machine full access ( don't forget to replace permissions on
child nodes ). F5 in regedit and you'll see all of the values and data
under this key.

Select the "Start" DWORD and change it from 2 to 4 – this basically sets
the service to the "Disabled" state as far as the MMC services snap-in
(and windows for that matter) is concerned.

Next, adjust the permissions on the file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe so that EVERYONE account is denied any
sort of access to this file.

Then go back to process explorer, and kill the sbscrexe.exe process, if
it doesn't restart – congratulations!

Load up the services MMC snap-in and you should find that "SBS Core
Services" is stopped and marked as Disabled.

Regards,
