Link to PDF HERE Network Load Balancing is a feature of recent Microsoft server operating systems, including Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. This clustering technology enables you to improve the scalability and availability of Internet server programs, such as Web servers, proxy servers, DNS servers, FTP servers, virtual private network servers, streaming media servers, and terminal services servers. In addition, it can detect host failures and automatically redistribute traffic to servers that are still operating. In a VMware® Infrastructure 3 environment, you can create a cluster for Network Load Balancing using virtual machines on the same host or virtual machines on multiple hosts.

Summary When you restore a Microsoft SQL Server database on a different machine, you cannot access the database until you fix the permissions. Detail The problem is that the user in the database is an "orphan". This means that there is no login id or password associated with the user. This is true even if there is a login id that matches the user, since there is a GUID (called a SID in Microsoft-speak) that has to match as well. This used to be a pain to fix, but currently (SQL Server 2000, SP3) there is a stored procedure that does the heavy lifting. All of these instructions should be done as a database admin, with the restored database selected. First, make sure that this is the problem. This will lists the orphaned users: EXEC sp_change_users_login ‘Report’ If you already have a login id and password for this user, fix […]

Summary ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 4.0 setup is based on the Microsoft Windows Installer technology. When you attempt to install ePO 4.0, any failure during setup will cause the installer to roll back the changes.

This tutorial explains how you can replace password-based SSH authentication with key-based authentication which is more secure because only the people that own the key can log in. In this example, we’re using PuTTY as our SSH client on a Windows system. 1. Get the zip file with all PuTTY binaries http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.zip 2. Generate a private and public key pair Open PuTTYgen.exe, press Generate button, move mouse. Once the keys are generated, type yourkey passphrase (choose a "hard to guess" one). Save Public key. Save Private key. 3. Configure your Linux server (create user, save public key) For this guide let’s assume you regular login name is autotimesheet (replace it with one that you use regularly). As root, on the shell, type: adduser autotimesheet –disabled-password You will be asked to fill in some details such as the user’s real name (empty string is fine). Now type: su autotimesheet cd /home/autotimesheet […]
