How to Deploy Windows Server 2008 Read Only Domain Controller (RODC)

Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) is an additional domain controller for a domain that hosts read-only partitions of the Active Directory database. An RODC is designed primarily to be deployed in a branch office environment. Branch offices typically have relatively few users, poor physical security, relatively poor network bandwidth to a hub site, and little local IT knowledge. RODC is primarily aimed at providing additional security on an Active Directory Database for a server that is not physically secured. In this video we'll deploy Windows Server 2008 Read Only Domain Controller (RODC).

Moved Mailboxes Are Shown in Disconnected Mailbox – Exchange 2010 SP1 SP2 SP3

Exchange Server

You have just moved some mailboxes from one Exchange 2010 SP1 ( or later ) mailbox database to another mailbox database but all the moved mailboxes are shown in disconnected mailboxes. This happens because of the "Soft Deleted mailboxes". Exchange doesn?t fully delete the mailbox from the source database immediately after completion of the move. Instead, the mailbox in the source mailbox database is switched to a soft-deleted state. The soft-deleted mailboxes are retained in the source database until either the deleted mailbox retention period expires or you use the Remove-StoreMailbox cmdlet to purge the mailbox. You can see soft-deleted mailbox by running the following shell command Get-MailboxStatistics ?Database ?Mailbox Database Name? | Where-Object {$_.DisconnectReason ?eq ?Softdeleted?} You can delete all soft deleted mailboxes from a particular Mailbox Database by…

Installing and Configuring Data Protection Manager 2010 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Exchange Server, System Center, Video Tutorials

A System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 installation includes two primary tasks: installing the DPM prerequisite software and installing the DPM application. The DPM Setup Wizard guides you through the process of specifying the DPM installation settings, and automatically installs the prerequisite software as part of an integrated DPM installation process. Important Note: DPM 2010 is not supported on the Turkish language version of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. If the automatic installation of one or more of the DPM prerequisite software products fails, you can install the prerequisite software manually. Before installing DPM, note the following: All computers that you use for your DPM installation must meet at least the minimum hardware and software requirements. DPM Setup stops the Removable Storage service before installing DPM. After you install DPM, you…

How to Restore Exchange 2010 Mailbox to Different Mailbox

Exchange Server, Video Tutorials

Exchange 2010 no longer has the notion of Storage Groups, which were used in Exchange 2007 and 2003 to contain logical groupings of databases. Exchange 2010 now simply lets you create databases on mailbox servers. The difference is that in Exchange 2003/2007, you created a Recover Storage Group (RSG) to restore the database into. In Exchange 2010, you simply restore the database and connect to it as a Recovery Database (RDB). First, you have to have a good backup that contains the item to be recovered. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have the built-in Windows Server Backup feature. I cover how to use Windows Server Backup to backup Exchange in this article. Without the ability to restore an individual mailbox, it is necessary to first restore an entire…

How to Configure Windows 2008 Fine-Grained Password Policy

Video Tutorials, Windows Server

In previous versions of Active Directory, we had only one password policy for the entire domain. Some companies had to use multiple domains to place different password policies on different users or buy third party solutions. In Windows Server 2008, you can use fine-grained password policies to specify multiple password policies and apply different password restrictions and account lockout policies to different sets of users within a single domain. Password polices are designed to control what kind of password a user can have and how often the user needs to change it. Strong password policies are important to help protect your system and data.
