Friday, May 01, 2009: TechNet Webcast: Transforming the Data Center with Energy Efficiency (Level 200)
 With the explosion of online services and cloud computing, the rapid scale out of IT and IT infrastructures needs to grow at a pace that meets the needs of the businesses while maintaining both cost and resource efficiencies. Energy efficiency in the data center can drive down costs and minimize the environmental impact of operations. In this webcast, we discuss what Microsoft has learned as it implements disruptive, energy-efficient computing ideas in its own data center operations. These energy-efficient computing ideas should change data center designs at Microsoft and across the IT industry. We provide many examples that illustrate some of the key elements of this data center transformation, including outside air cooling.

 Resource utilization. It’s an increasingly important topic, and if your business is constrained by poor server and storage utilization, it’s likely you’re over-investing in hardware and wasting space and power, not to mention propagating operational inefficiencies. These in turn increase costs and lead to negative environmental impacts. This webcast will help you learn how to consolidate your datacenter, reduce your costs, and improve agility by minimizing capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, and improving service levels with Microsoft Virtualization products and technologies. A new demo, demonstrating VMM/PRO powering down servers, also will be presented.

EVENTS / WEBCASTS: October 2007

Friday, October 05, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Message Security, Active Protection, and Compliance with Exchange Server 2007 (Level 200)
This session covers three main topics. We start with a look at message hygiene. Your e-mail system is constantly being bombarded with unwanted messages, and as a messaging administrator, it is your job to prevent that. Next, we discuss messaging policies. Following recent accounting scandals and the global terrorism threat, governments and their agencies require organizations to store, and produce upon request, pertinent e-mail messages. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides policies to achieve this goal with policies that are simple to set up and administer. Finally, we look at how messages can be made secure while in transit through your organization, between organizations, and across untrusted networks, such as the Internet.

Use Microsoft Exchange Server Stress and Performance (ESP), a highly scalable stress and performance tool for Exchange, to simulate large numbers of client sessions by concurrently accessing one or more protocol servers. ESP includes multiple modules that you can use to simulate a wide variety of protocols and loads. You can run modules concurrently from multiple hosts, thereby more realistically simulating physically separate client machines. There is no limit to the number of computers on your network that can host ESP modules

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress Tool (32 bit)
Use Jetstress to verify the performance and stability of a disk subsystem prior to putting an Exchange 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.

Microsoft Exchange Calendar Update Tool
Before you run the Exchange Calendar Update tool, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 930879, “How to address daylight saving time by using the Exchange Calendar Update Tool,” for complete information about potential effects on your IT environment and user base.

After installing the Windows and Exchange daylight saving time (DST) updates, all old appointments (both recurring and single instance) that occur during the extended DST period will be incorrectly displayed as having moved back one hour. These appointments will need to be updated so that they display correctly in Outlook, Outlook Web Access, and CDO-based applications. The Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool enables end-users to update their own calendars. (For Outlook 2007 the time zone update feature is built into the application.)

The Exchange Calendar Update Tool enables administrators to avoid the challenges involved with broadly deploying the Outlook tool to all users and ensuring that each user runs the tool correctly.
