Migrating a File Server Between Any Windows Server Version

Very good, In this brief document we will see how to migrate a file server in the simplest way between any version of Microsoft Windows Server (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 o Windows Server 2008). It's just cool and fast, that will allow us a hot migration. In this document we saw how with the Microsoft FSMT utility (File Server Migration Toolkit) could help us with a file server migration (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=961), but if what we want is to avoid installing software, The following will be interesting.

Setting up Microsoft Exchange 2007 with SCC (Single Copy Cluster) on Windows Server 2008

In this document, we will see how to set up a high availability cluster for our Microsoft Exchange mail server 2007 Server with the Microsoft Windows Server operating system 2008, in this case we will set up a cluster system called SCC (Single Copy Cluster o Clúster de Copia Única). In this previous document the rest of the possibilities that we would have are described, we may be more interested in one system than another (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=2362). As discussed above, SCC is the cluster that we can know from previous editions of Microsoft Exchange, is a shared storage failover cluster system, This is, we will have several nodes with the 'Mailbox function' one of them being active and the rest passive. Storage must be shared, Databases must be in an array or remote storage system, iSCSI, fibre... When the active node fails, One of the nodes in a passive state […]

Different types of Microsoft Exchange high availability 2007 (CCR, SCC, CSF & SCR)

Well, After a long time out, with a lot of work, I had time to look at myself and wrestle with the different types of high availability that Microsoft Exchange gives us 2007 to date. Unlike Microsoft Exchange 2003, This version, brings more possibilities to have a high availability of our mail server, having different methods, some cheaper than others and more or less complex. In principle, we have: CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication o Replicación Continua en Clúster) SCC (Single Copy Cluster o Clúster de Copia Única) CSF (Local Continuous Replication o Replicación Continua Local) SCR (Standby Continuous Replication o Replicación Continua en Espera)
