Windows Server 2008 expand disk
I have a server:
Windows 2008 R2
4 drives:
0 - OS 60 GB disk
Disc 1 - 600 GB mailboxes
Disc 2 - 300 GB logs
Disc 3 - Archives 1.5 TB
My mailbox disk fills up, so I need to create a few more room for her. I want to do is reduce newspapers drive 150 GB and use this free space, however when I try and expand I get a message on the conversion to a dynamic disk, which I don't want to do.
Is there anything I can move this free disk space 2-the use of disc 1 edit VM in vSphere?
Thank you
JO
I fear that you will not be able to do it online. In the days previous Storage vMotion could serve to "convert" a ramdisk supplied thin thickness by migrating to a store of data with a different block size. However, with the unified 1 MB in VMFS5 block size that is not an option more (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004155)

D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD
Hi all
I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.
I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.
Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?
Best regards, Chrischmi
Hi all
I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!
On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 AHCI RAID change
Hello
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Storage: 1 x SSD
Tip: Supermicro X9SRW-fCurrently, the SATA in the BIOS option is on AHCI. Start Windows on the desktop without problem.
Objective: Convert AHCI Raid mode. The integrated chipset to create a matrix to mirror with 2 x SSD.
I downloaded the disk driver for this card and installed the Intel Rapid Storage driver/software. I reboot and switch the SATA Raid mode. Windows starts to load and immediately blue screens. Put the SATA to AHCI mode allows me to boot successfully.
There are a few other drivers from the disc. Install these drivers, the windows are no longer boot in AHCI or Raid mode.
iaStorA.inf: installs rest AHCI Raid Controller Miniport + RTS filter driver
iaStorB.inf: installs rest AHCI Raid Controller Miniport + RTS filter driverHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci\\\ (set to 0 Start)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV (set to 0 Start)How can I activate the raid option and get Windows to start without error? Registry hack? Other drivers?
* Note the OS has been cloned for the SSD. I don't have the option for the new Windows installation.

How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?
Hello
Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?
Hello
Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.
It will be useful.
To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:
- Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
- Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.
- In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...
- Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.
- If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.
Bind the certificate to a Web site
- In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.
- Click the Add... button.
- Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.
- You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.
Install all the intermediate certificates
Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:
- Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
- Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
- At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.
- Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.
- Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.
You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.

Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange of HDD replaceable hot backup?
I have a server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with 4 exchangeable to hard drives hot. 3 250 GB disks and configured in RAID 5. The 4th 1 TB hard drive and used for the backup. With capabilities to warm the intention was to use the 4th hard drive as a player traded for backup purposes, put the inactive disks in a vault without danger for the security and protection. Unfortunately I was able to configure Windows backup software to recognize the multiple backup drives.
I hope that someone is aware of this problem and knows how to solve. If yes I would appreciate to hear your solution.

How do I dual boot windows 7 a physical drive and windows server 2008 R2 to a second drive

I don't want to run Server 2008 from a virtual hard disk... but rather a native installation. Is this possible... If yes HOW?

The disc is perhaps the problem because PARAGON Hard Disk Manager 2011 has problems with the editing of this partition but it it sails well (as other tools). The files seems good. Also, CHKDSK has not found no serious problems such as bad sectors - it fixed only tiny problems.

Create a Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD for Installation of the EFI
Is there an official method of production of compatible installation media EFI for Windows Server 2008 R2.
I created successfully using a rough method to recreate an iso using the original media and oscdimg.exe set out in a number of unoffical positions elsewhere. However, I ran into another issue that fits the description that is described in the following article.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/975535
I expected that the fix provided in this article would have been incorporated in SP1 of Server 2008 R2 version, but has been unpleasantly surprised to find that there was still no support. I'm more than happy to include the fix in the media but it seems that the files are identical apart from the creation date.
I have completely updated the firmware of my server to set the server up to EFI Shell Version 2 which I hoped would solve some problems, but this did not help either.
It seems EFI will be the way forward because of size limits of hard drive on startup disks until when can we expect a real sollution?
If anyone has any experience with this issue so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pavilion p6110t CTO Desktop: drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HARD drive problems
Recently, I had the hard drive with my OS failure. After replacing the hard drive and reinstall windows server 2008, I seem to have encountered some problems with drivers. After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that not have installed correctly. I could get the driver for the LAN port to work, but I did not get the driver to "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus controller". After a little research, I believe that the graphics card is a Radeon HD4350. With this information, I still have been unable to toinstlal the correct drivers or the other of these elements. I tried several drivers listed on the support page of the drivers on the HP website, but all fo return them the same error of not finding the right operating system. The link to the driver, I used initially on my previous installation seems is no longer valid.
Also, I can't access two additoinal hard disks (sata connected). They were used with the previous installation of windows without any problem. They appear in the Device Manager but do not show in my computer. A removable disk appears that I don't know what it is. Previously I used the software to mirror one of the disks on the other in order to avoid the loss of data if a disk fails. Is one of the above players with not be able to access the drives causing the problem or the software used before the problem?
Any help on these questions is greatly appreciated.
Ok.
I can't help you with the readers then. It is out of my area of knowledge. If they are healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that's all that I know these should be reported.
As for the graphics drivers...
Download and install this free utility for files.
After installing 7 - zip, right-click on the graphic driver file and select 7 - zip from the list of options.
Choose 7-zip to extract to: and leave it to unzip the file in a folder. I have it extracted the file name of the file.
Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.
Of course that you you first go to where 7 - zip extract the folder and continue from there.
