• Running Exchange Server application of hotfixes and service pack to the server mailbox without loss of data during the restore?

  People,

  I would like to know how can I safely ask the Exchange Server service pack or cumulative update for the server role mailbox (no DAG) without loss of e-mail during the downtime and roll back the snapshot?

  If I can do the following:

  1. stop all Exchange Server services.

  2. unplug the vNIC on the mailbox server

  3 take a snapshot of the virtual machine

  4. apply the service Pack of Exchange Server / Cumulative Update or Windows Update

  5 reset

  6 reconnect the vNIC, if the server online with no problem, commit / remove the snapshot, if not, then disconnect the vNIC followed to restore.

  would be - this sense being or support for Vmware and Microsoft http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/exchange-2010-on-vmware-support-and-licensing-guide.pdf ?

  If yu have any other suggestions, please let me know here.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey AlbertWT,

  I'll start by saying that I would not do.  Microsoft is explicit that snapshots are not supported with Exchange when virtualized.  See below (from Exchange 2013 Virtualization: help Exchange 2013):

  Some hypervisors include features to take snapshots of virtual machines. Virtual machine snapshots capture the State of a virtual machine while it is running. This feature allows you to take several snapshots of a virtual machine and then return the virtual machine to a previous state by applying a snapshot to the virtual machine. However, virtual machine snapshots aren't application aware, and using them can have unintended and unexpected consequences for a server application that manages the data of the State, such as Exchange. Accordingly, making snapshots of the virtual machine to a virtual guest computer Exchange only is not supported.

  Even if we ignore the statement of support from shadow copies that isn't always a good idea.  Here are some things to consider.

  (1) cumulative updates for the Exchange to modify the Active Directory schema.  Roll back the snapshot on the mailbox server is not undo changes made to RFA, which could cause functional supported questions.  See this link to give you an idea of how there is pattern AD updates in each CU Exchange and service pack: the Active Directory in Exchange 2013 schema changes: Exchange 2013 help

  (2) it is possible to send to come during the time you test the update, and if you need to restore you would need a plan to retrieve this e-mail.  Third party services may work, or you can prevent the email to come in your environment completely during this period, but these aren't the ideal solutions.

  A much better solution would be to create a lab environment that is isolated from the production.  You can either take clones of your Exchange and AD VMs and put them in a closed network environment, or create a laboratory and import the structure of your ad if it matches the production.  I think it is a much better way to test than to try to rely on stereotypes in production.

  Hope that helps!

• Error: "the patch cannot be installed by the Setup program because the program is missing" during installation and Service Pack 2 for Corel Draw X 3.

  original title: corel draw X 3 need a file to upgrade to work and will not install Windows install. I am running XP

  Windows Installer won't install Corel Draw X 3 patch for Corel SP1 and SP2.  Corel X 3 was released at the end of the 1980s, well before updates from Microsofts SP.

  These files are patches for the X 3 program and have nothing to do with Microsoft SP 1, 2 and 3.

  The error that gives the installer of windows, is that the patch cannot be installed by the installer, because the program is missing (which is not the case) or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program, (which he did... this fix is designed especially for the X 3 only and is in fact the upgrade for him.)

  It says to check that I have the program on my computer and I have the appropriate fix. (What I'm doing.)
  NOTE:
  Last week I had to remove Corel X 3 from my computer and re-install. After that, I couldn't get the patch installed, and it needs those 2 patches to work properly.

  I am running XP Pro with MS Service pack 3 on my computer.  I have Intel pentium 4, 2944 usable Mg 300Ghz installed memory 266,80 GB of free space on 2 hard drives.

  Another site said a faulty windows installer can cause "out of memory" errors and has spent in Corel Draw so I deleted and reinstalled as I've mentioned above. Any ideas on how to get this installed?  Hope you can help, I don't know where to turn to the next if not. Corel does not support this program because of his age. I can't afford to update at the moment so I have a problem here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

  Been away in a few days. Just in case anyone else has this problem, I found the answer. It's one of those moments DUHHH.

  If you use the version of Corel Draw X 3 13.0.0.739, there already = sp1 and sp2 patches and pre-installed horfix.

  Should check that the first step, but I thank you

  David Vinod to try to help this sometimes fictitious.

• Update and Service Pack installation after system restore

  Hello

  I am a Customer Service representative your question for Windows XP. Here's the issue: System Restore will be restoring all the Service Packs and updates installed Windows XP on a Windows XP computer or at - it need to reinstall everything after the system restore?

  Please enlighten us on this issue.

  Thank you.

  a factory restore is not identical to a windows system restore.

  While a restore of windows re - interrupts the previous versions of the system and program files

  a factory restore is the original state of the computer at the same time that he has left the factory.

  so a factory restore will wipe the hard drive and then re-install all software provided with the computer original.

  to this end, if a faulty the system restore windows to make the system functional again, then the restoration of the factory is the ultimate option to make the system work again.

  the only way to solve a software problem is sometimes with the method above.  However, the method above can not solve the problem below.

  in return is that a windows system restore or a factory restore can overcome problems related to defective hardware.

  in any case, keep in mind that, before executing a factory restore, the user must copy their personal files and email boxes and internet Favorites before performing this procedure.

• I can't update windows until I reinstall windows vista service pack 2 CD but I do not have the CD. I have just the product key. How can I reinstall it with the key.

  I tried to update to windows, but get error 80070490 that says I have a corrupted file (CBS Manifest) that is to be updated... so I check the error and it says to uninstall windows and reinstall using the dvd... but I don't have the dvd for windows vista service pack 2... I have the id... product help, my pc is done to the breakpoint until I make updates! I tried Fix - It, and it says error can not continue... I ran to day thought advise that I could upgrade to windows 7... but apparently so that I can fix the problems of windows, I'm stuck. Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

  If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

  Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

  The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

  And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

  You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

  Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

  "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

• Vista - problems installing of Adobe Reader 9.1, Silverlight and Service Pack 2

  Last week, my computer froze with a black screen.  Person software Dell in India has accompanied me through the webcam and drivers and reinstall Vista.  Since then, I can't open .pdf files, watching movies from Netflix or download Vista service pack 2.  I tried all the things I could find in the forums here and elsewhere.  The last thing I tried to download was Adobe Reader 9.1 and I'm able to save to my desktop but when I double click the icon and try to install this is the error I get:

  Error 2755. Server returned an unexpected error 1632
  Try to install the package
  C:\Users\Jano\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader
  9.1\Setup Files\AcroRead.msi.

  weaver400,
  I suggest a few things at this stage.  First of all, I would like to check the hard disk for errors.  This link will guide you in this process: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79c7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx

  Once that works I suggest creating a user profile, make sure that it is set to administrator level, then log in there and attempt to run the SFC from there.  Here are the instructions to create a new account:

  1.	Open accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.
  2.	Click Manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3.	Click create a new account.
  4.	Type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

• NI Service Update: updates and Service Packs: LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx Tools 10.1 2012

  Hello

  I downloaded / installed the latest 2012 LV - everythin fine so far (his grand )

  OR-Update Service proposed the installation of a service pack - download and installation worked too.

  NOR-US also suggested to update the tools for FPGA from Xilinx module, but the download does not work. It looks that the download link is broken?

  Any suggestions?

  Another interesting question: I live in Austria (German), but we use Windows & LV entirely in English in our society. NOR-United States however is highly localized - even the description of the object is in German. While it is OK for me, I still wonder if I could change it to English too.
