Then click on Launch – Next click on Hosted Domains – Under the domain you want to create a subdomain if you have more than one domain, click either Manage or Add under Subdomains column.

Powershell command to monitor disk fragmentation level using Zabbix

I love zabbix a lot because of its ease of use and the simplicity of the configuration when it comes to monitoring anything. I recently added a monitor to check the fragmentation level of volumes on a machine once a week and set it to trigger an alert when the fragmentation level reaches the set threshold. I wrote a simple command line statement that would run the defrag check and output just the value.

Installing WSUS Server Role on Windows Server 2012 with Microsoft SQL Clustered Database

Bonjour à tous (For those of us who don’t know French, its ‘Hello Everyone’ :)). I just started learning French, so hoping to do better than this. WSUS is one of my favorite application and I taught it wise to show us how to setup one on a Windows Server 2012 but this time using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster. To begin with, you need to ensure you have a clustered SQL environment already in place.

Installing Windows Server 2008 (64bit) Domain Controller in an existing Windows Server 2003 (32bit) domain

If this domain controller is the first Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller in the forest, you must prepare the forest for Windows Server 2008 R2 by extending the schema (that is, by running adprep /forestprep) on the schema operations master if this has not already been done. If this domain controller is the first Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller in a Windows Server 2003 domain, you must prepare the domain by running adprep /domainprep on the infrastructure master.
