#ExchangeServer 2010 SP1 Schema Updates

So followed this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314980 and set “24 DS Schema” to 4.  Then ran Setup /PrepareSchema

Then I used PowerShell to export the event log entries and this is the high level list of schema object that have been modified or added.

Headhunter by Ashley Gardiner .. Part 2

So for the odd person that read my blog (and I know who you are) if you have a kindle or a kindle app, and work in the IT Industry you have to read this book.

I Blogged earlier about his .. Carpe Diem- Flaphead.com - Headhunter by Ashley Gardiner

My wife is giving me so much grief, as I just cant put my iPad down, this book has me gripped.

I don't know who Ashley Gardiner (but if you google “Ashley Gardiner” I’m the second hit :-) and the first hit is for an WAirport Administrator at Pret A Manger”, whereas the if you google “Ashley Gardiner head hunter” you get me ;-) first and then amazon) .. but this book just rocks .. I even feel like cheating and going to the last chapter to see what happens, but I know that is wrong ;-)

Why isn’t this book in paper back? I have to keep charging my iPad to read it :-|

Will let you know how it ends … maybe :-D

Guess What? #Exchange2010 SP1 has RTM’ed

#Exchange .. So if you have had your head in a bucket you may not know that Microsoft Release Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 today.

So you can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=50b32685-4356-49cc-8b37-d9c9d4ea3f5b&displaylang=en

and the Exchange Team Blog is here: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2010/08/25/455861.aspx

and this is really quick off the block ;-) http://eightwone.com/2010/08/25/exchange-2010-sp1/

So I posted this last month (http://flaphead.dns2go.com/archive/2010/07/27/exchange-server-2010-sp1-beta-links.aspx) and the links are a good place to start.  Now I am a lazy git, and not online all the time, so I merged them in to a word doc, and attached are the ePub (for my iPad) and Pdf versions ;-)

PDF: http://files.flaphead.dns2go.com/Exchange_Server_2010_Service_Pack_1_pdf.zip

ePub: http://files.flaphead.dns2go.com/Exchange_Server_2010_Service_Pack_1_ePub.zip

Research no longer requires a trip to the neighborhood library, because a whole world of information—and the tools to put it all together—are right at home on your family computer.

Here are four homework power tools that can turn your children's ho-hum project into A+ work:

Intel to Acquire McAfee

#Intel #McAfee

No way!?

Source: http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2010/08/19/intel-to-acquire-mcafee

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 19, 2010 – Intel Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire McAfee, Inc., through the purchase of all of the company’s common stock at $48 per share in cash, for approximately $7.68 billion. Both boards of directors have unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close after McAfee shareholder approval, regulatory clearances and other customary conditions specified in the agreement.

The acquisition reflects that security is now a fundamental component of online computing. Today’s security approach does not fully address the billions of new Internet-ready devices connecting, including mobile and wireless devices, TVs, cars, medical devices and ATM machines as well as the accompanying surge in cyber threats. Providing protection to a diverse online world requires a fundamentally new approach involving software, hardware and services.


http://www.mcafee.com/us/about/intel_mcafee.html

Today McAfee agreed to be acquired by Intel Corporation.  Obviously this is big news for McAfee, big news for Intel Corporation, big news for our combined customers, and big news for both the security industry and the future of the Internet. It’s the company’s common belief that security is a fundamental component of modern computing, and the acquisition reflects its increasing relevance in a completely connected world.  The number of connected devices is expected to grow from 1 billion to 50 billion by 2020.  This explosive growth of Internet and IP-enabled devices (e.g. Internet enabled TV, IP addressable cars, ATM machines, medical devices) is fundamentally reshaping communication, collaboration and commerce opportunities for individuals, businesses and governments around the world.

Unfortunately, cyber-criminals and cyber-terrorists are misusing the Internet’s open and any-to-any communication architecture for malicious purposes, leaving many users at risk and the future of the Internet as we know it in question.  Cybercrime costs over 1 trillion dollars to society, the identity of 100s’ of millions of individuals have already been compromised and dozens of governments around the globe have already been targets of cyberwarfare.

Apps from last week

I just wanted to share with the 4 app I downloaded last for my iPhone and iPad.

First off for my iPhone was Waze (http://world.waze.com/).  It’s a basically Free SatNav, but what is great is that it uses Crowdsourcing for travel information.

Next is VoucherCloud (http://www.vouchercloud.com/)  The guy in my local corner shop showed me this.  As it suggests you get discount vouchers on you iPhone.  It works really well.

I downloaded this on my iPhone but it’s better on the iPad.  For the plane spotter in me, its Flight Radar (http://www.flightradar24.com/).  Its bloody amazing now many planes are in the air at one time, and this app and website lets you trackem.

and finally the programmer in me found iPowershell from the boys at Sapien (http://www.primaltools.com/downloads/communitytools/).  It basically contains full descriptions of each and every core PowerShell Version 1 cmdlet, their syntax, parameters and examples of proper usage. Its a very cool reference app and it’s FREE

Lets see what Apps this week brings…

Headhunter by Ashley Gardiner

So I downloaded Amazon #Kindle to my #iPad, and I have my first book Headhunter by Ashley Gardiner (http://www.amazon.com/Headhunter-ebook/dp/B003TO5HJI/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1)

Seeing as I was working in IT when all the banking issue happened I thought it might be a good read.  Will let you know how I get on .. Check it out ..

Darren Halford and his friends are enduring mediocre lives in the rat race, doing jobs they hate in the hope that one day they will be rewarded with a comfortable retirement.

He watches helplessly as the banking system collapses, making him just one of millions of ordinary citizens who have seen a bright financial future destroyed by the recklessness of bankers. Already worn down by the daily grind, Darren realises that their greed and stupidity have added more than two thousand commutes and ten years to his working life and eliminated any hopes of the comfortable retirement he had planned for and dreamed of.
Denied the satisfaction of seeing the villains punished and enraged by the contrasting fortunes of the perpetrators and victims, Darren takes matters into his own hands. He realises that his position as an IT engineer at a bank affords particular opportunities to track, manipulate then kill the financial Gods who thought they were immune to consequence.

In the course of inflicting vigilante justice Darren has to reconcile himself to the reality that he is no more immune to consequence than he has made his victims. He turns to his friends in the hope that they can save him from a premature and violent death.

BES 5.0 SP2: Blackberry User #Exchange 2010 IOPS now equal to an Outlook Client

#Exchange2010

Interesting, from WES 2010 session ‘WA25: Best Practices in Deploying Microsoft® Exchange for BlackBerry’ jointly presented by RIM and Microsoft Jeff Mealiffe (Sr. Development Lead, Scalability & Capacity Planning) it says:

image

  • Database IOPS per user is equivalent to a Microsoft® Outlook® client, not 5x and not 3x
  • Our past data represented the worst case scenario
    • Workload assumes both BlackBerry and Microsoft Outlook clients active
    • 100% BlackBerry enabled users
    • High density of BlackBerry users on a single storage group
  • Our focus in the past has also been on providing a single impact number
    • Database I/O more expensive and needs to be our focus (random I/O)
    • ransaction log I/O gets optimized well by disk infrastructure (increase is not as relevant – sequential I/O)
image
  • Dual clients per user active (Outlook and BlackBerry )
    • DB IOPS increase by 1.85x for BlackBerry enabled users only
    • DB IOPS increase by 1.7x for BlackBerry enabled users only (5.0.2
      optimizations)
    • DB IOPS with optimization equivalent to an outlook client
  • Truly mobile users (only BlackBerry client)
    • DB IOPS equivalent to an Outlook client

image

BES 5.0 SP2 DB IOPS increase by only 1.7x with Exchange 2010 compared with 2.16x on Exchange 2007 with BES 5.01

Mail server role

  • Mail server CPU recommendation is about 1.4 -1.5x MCycles/mailbox recommended by Microsoft
  • Memory, same as what is recommended by MS for outlook users/clients

CAS Server role

  • CPU core recommendation is inline with 4:3 ratio recommend by Microsoft for CAS:Mail server
  • NSPI connection count needs to be increased to 1 per BlackBerry smart phone – default is 50 (too low)
  • Throttling needs to be disabled for the service account used for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

##*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* New Exchange and OCS Downloads from June 2010

Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Beta UM Language Packs
These downloads contain pre-recorded prompts, grammar files, text to speech data, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) files, and Voice Mail Preview capabilities for a specific language that is supported by Exchange 2010 SP1 Beta Unified Messaging.

Exchange Load Generator 2010 (64 bit)
Use Microsoft Exchange Load Generator 2010 (LoadGen) as a simulation tool to measure the impact of MAPI, OWA, ActiveSync, IMAP, POP and SMTP clients on Exchange 2010 and 2007 servers. LoadGen allows you to test how a server running Exchange 2010/2007 responds to e-mail loads. To simulate the delivery of these messaging requests, you run LoadGen tests on client computers. These tests send multiple messaging requests to the Exchange server, thereby causing a mail load. LoadGen is a useful tool for administrators who are sizing servers and validating a deployment plan. Specifically, LoadGen helps you determine if each of your servers can handle the load to which they are intended to carry. Another use for LoadGen is to help validate the overall solution.

Exchange Load Generator 2010 (32 bit)

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2010 (64 bit)
Use Jetstress 2010 to verify the performance and stability of a disk subsystem prior to putting a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, 2007 and 2010 server into production. Jetstress helps verify disk performance by simulating Exchange disk Input/Output (I/O) load. Specifically, Jetstress simulates the Exchange database and log file loads produced by a specific number of users. You use Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, and ESEUTIL in conjunction with Jetstress to verify that your disk subsystem meets or exceeds the performance criteria you establish. After a successful completion of the Jetstress Disk Performance and Stress Tests in a non-production environment, you will have ensured that your Exchange disk subsystem is adequately sized (in terms of performance criteria you establish) for the user count and user profiles you have established. It is highly recommended that the Jetstress user read through the tool documentation before using the tool.
