<br />
The following article describes how to use Windows Server data
deduplication on an Solid State Drive (SSD) that holds active Hyper-V
virtual machines.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Coloring Outside the Lines Statement:</b><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">This configuration is not supported by Microsoft. See <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831700.aspx" target="_blank">Plan to Deploy Data Deduplication</a> for more information. Use these procedures at your own risk. That said, it works great for me. Your mileage may vary.</span><br />
<br />
A while back I decided to add another 224GB SATA III SSD to my <a href="http://www.expta.com/2013/04/updated-blistering-fast-hyper-v-2012.html" target="_blank">blistering Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V server</a>
for my active VMs. The performance is outstanding and it makes the
server dead silent. I moved my primary always-on HyperV VM workloads to
this new SSD:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Domain Controller on WS2012</li>
<li>Exchange 2010 multi-role server on WS2012</li>
<li>TMG server on WS2008 R2</li>
</ul>
<div>
These VMs took 134GB, or 60%, of the capacity of the drive which was
fine at the time. Later, I added a multi-role Exchange 2013 server
which took up another 60GB of space. That left me with only 13% free
space, which didn't leave much room for VHD expansion and certainly not
enough to host any other VMs. Rather than buy another larger and more
expensive SSD, I decided to see how data deduplication performs in
Windows Server 2012.</div>
<div>
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHS97t4GOul6mOLiDVXt73hUI3o65ZlwarLu4bw88isaY-7GN5iFYKa-xePCqXItxEgus6du6ruiHdUjlL29APvJ_rAS-eHW7ikCe1dNADJlUBtYBl64Jj7dETdY0RqJ0vgL4QLCYw8nZ/s1600/Data+Deduplication+Feature.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHS97t4GOul6mOLiDVXt73hUI3o65ZlwarLu4bw88isaY-7GN5iFYKa-xePCqXItxEgus6du6ruiHdUjlL29APvJ_rAS-eHW7ikCe1dNADJlUBtYBl64Jj7dETdY0RqJ0vgL4QLCYw8nZ/s400/Data+Deduplication+Feature.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Add the Data Deduplication Feature</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
Data Deduplication is a feature of the File and Storage Services role in
Windows Server 2012. It's not installed by default, so you need to
install it using the Add Roles and Features Wizard (as above) or by
using the following PowerShell commands:<br />
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>PS C:\> Import-Module ServerManager<br /> </b></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>PS C:\> Add-WindowsFeature -Name FS-Data-Deduplication<br /> </b></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>PS C:\> Import-Module Deduplication</b></span></blockquote>
<br />
Next, you need to enable data deduplication on the volume. Use the File
and Storage Services node of Server Manager and click Volumes. Then
right-click the drive you want to configure for deduplication and select
Configure Data Deduplication, as shown below:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhca0nRcDQLcCLF4tzRc0N52DZdf_OE0yzHe1HEZfihEMJJJYPdsCDSBwyAB7ra2Ofs3YeQEImgJ87lxx76_8QfOiUayl49MZmR6xvA2sWByPA61qmxH7mZJMIES4OpnXy95W3jFzcbG1a2/s1600/Configure+Deduplication.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhca0nRcDQLcCLF4tzRc0N52DZdf_OE0yzHe1HEZfihEMJJJYPdsCDSBwyAB7ra2Ofs3YeQEImgJ87lxx76_8QfOiUayl49MZmR6xvA2sWByPA61qmxH7mZJMIES4OpnXy95W3jFzcbG1a2/s400/Configure+Deduplication.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Configuring Data Deduplication on Volume X:</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So far, this is how you normally configure deduplication for a volume.
You would normally configure deduplication to run on files older than X
days, enable background optimization, and schedule throughput
optimization to run on at specified days and times. It's pretty much a
"set it and forget it" configuration.<br />
<br />
From here on I'm going to customize deduplication for my Hyper-V SSD.<br />
<br />
In the Configure Data Deduplication Settings for the SSD, select <b>Enable data deduplication</b> and configure it to deduplicate files older than <b>0 </b>days. Click the <b>Set Deduplication Schedule</b> button and <u>uncheck</u> <b>Enable background optimization</b>, <b>Enable throughput optimization</b>, and <b>Create a second schedule for throughput optimization</b>.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg64VBp77cEXUN77mweH8ARSM7we3kzzG3OniHjoJ6X-PpAOWKf3y-JsqhEMdeVfMpvkWugcxX6X-GupemiUY_mYRzx6267nR7vya4zL8-yr4IrJZMRsSpgb-7-Fx8tGZMG6CZ6BwZSyfnp/s1600/Dedupe+Settings+1.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg64VBp77cEXUN77mweH8ARSM7we3kzzG3OniHjoJ6X-PpAOWKf3y-JsqhEMdeVfMpvkWugcxX6X-GupemiUY_mYRzx6267nR7vya4zL8-yr4IrJZMRsSpgb-7-Fx8tGZMG6CZ6BwZSyfnp/s400/Dedupe+Settings+1.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Enable Data Deduplication for Files Older Than 0 Days</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXpv2njQfA1ODZajP6DYfkQQZEDmu1i0Wjyt23v99vb4NAgUIRqWkjARTJIvHe57BDAmcEYKYxQ89oDvCG03PAYpJJ5p0l05ufs6U4PgpoEyDtTGe3CgalMSNbH5ldZpcA6FF-XrV_IWP/s1600/Dedupe+Settings+2.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXpv2njQfA1ODZajP6DYfkQQZEDmu1i0Wjyt23v99vb4NAgUIRqWkjARTJIvHe57BDAmcEYKYxQ89oDvCG03PAYpJJ5p0l05ufs6U4PgpoEyDtTGe3CgalMSNbH5ldZpcA6FF-XrV_IWP/s400/Dedupe+Settings+2.png" width="378" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Disable Background Optimization and Throughput Optimization Schedules</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Click OK twice to finish the configuration. What we've done is enabled
data deduplication for all files on the volume, but deduplication will
not run in real-time or on a schedule. Note that these deduplication
schedule settings are global and affect all drives configured for
deduplication on the server.<br />
<br />
You can also configure these data deduplication settings from PowerShell using the following commands:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>PS C:\> Enable-DedupVolume X:<br />PS C:\> Set-Dedupvolume X: -MinimumFileAgeDays 0<br />PS
C:\> Set-DedupSchedule -Name "BackgroundOptimization",
"ThroughputOptimization", "ThroughputOptimization-2" -Enabled $false</b></span></blockquote>
This configuration mitigates the reason why Microsoft does not support
data deduplication on drives that host Hyper-V VMs. Mounted VMs are
always open for writing and have a fairly large change rate.1 This is
the reason Microsoft says, "<i>Deduplication is not supported for files
that are open and constantly changing for extended periods of time or
that have high I/O requirements.</i>"<br />
<br />
In order to deduplicate the files and recover substantial disk space you
need to shutdown the VMs hosted on the volume and then run
deduplication manually with this command:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>PS C:\> Start-DedupJob –Volume X: –Type Optimization</b></span></blockquote>
This manual deduplication job can take some time to run depending on the
amount of data and the speed of your drive. In my environment it took
about 90 minutes to deduplicate a 224GB SATA III SSD that was 87% full.
You can monitor the progress of the deduplication job at any time using
the <b><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Get-DedupJob</span></b> cmdlet. The cmdlet shows the percentage of progress, but does not return any output once the job finishes.<br />
<br />
You can also monitor the job using Resource Monitor, as shown below:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiUN8D_xbuDfhyaiSdQZ8tQDwimlBnS9N8THriJxorRkhPGXLcC_5adCykybHONB6WVH-DE8xP8RoDSM3A3yYCYg4XlJEs58gNPkd1w0ytMHb7VmQMMAbd6E1AcgF8XSnY5zKOalxnOMr/s1600/Resource+Monitor.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiUN8D_xbuDfhyaiSdQZ8tQDwimlBnS9N8THriJxorRkhPGXLcC_5adCykybHONB6WVH-DE8xP8RoDSM3A3yYCYg4XlJEs58gNPkd1w0ytMHb7VmQMMAbd6E1AcgF8XSnY5zKOalxnOMr/s400/Resource+Monitor.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Process Monitor During Deduplication</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Here you can see that the Microsoft File Server Data Management Host
process (fsdmhost.exe) is processing the X: volume. When the
deduplication process completes, the X: volume queue length will return
to 0.<br />
<br />
Once deduplication completes you can restart your VMs, check the level
of deduplication, and how much data has been recovered. From the File
and Storage Services console, right-click the volume and select
Properties:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Properties of Deduplicated SSD Volume</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Here we can see that 256GB of raw data has been deduplicated to 61.5GB
on this 224GB SSD disk - a savings of 75%!!! That leaves 162GB of raw
disk storage free. I could easily create or move additional VMs to this
disk and run the deduplication job again.<br />
<br />
The drive above now actually holds more reconstituted data than the capacity of the drive itself with <u>no noticeable degradation in performance</u>. It currently hosts the following active Hyper-V VMs:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Domain Controller on WS2012</li>
<li>Exchange 2010 multi-role server on WS2012</li>
<li>TMG server on WS2008 R2</li>
<li>Exchange 2013 multi-role server on WS2012</li>
<li>Exchange 2013 CAS on WS2012</li>
<li>Exchange 2013 Mailbox Server on WS2012</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Caveats</b>:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Because real-time optimization is not being performed, the VMs will
grow over time as changes are made and data is added. The
manual deduplication job would need to be run as needed to recover
space.</li>
<li>Since the SSD actually contains more raw duplicated data than the
drive can hold, I'm unable to disable deduplication without moving some
data off the volume first.</li>
<li>Even though more VMs can be added to this volume, you have to be
sure that there is sufficient free space on the volume to
perform deduplication.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
<i><b>Build your own blistering fast Windows Hyper-V lab server starting at $900!</b></i><br />
<br />
I'm very pleased to provide you my latest EXPTA Gen6 home lab server
builds. Advances in hardware and virtualization technology have made it
possible for IT Pros to build sophisticated systems that host more VMs
than ever before. My <a href="http://www.expta.com/2015/07/expta-gen6-home-lab-server-results.html" target="_blank">Home Lab Server Survey results</a>
show that while there's still tremendous interest in 32GB entry-level
servers at around $1,000, there's also a lot of interest in 64GB servers
at the $1,700 price point.<br />
<br />
Based on these survey results and for the fist time ever, I'm providing three different server builds:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b style="background-color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: white;">Intel Core i5 quad-core, 32GB RAM, SSD, small form-factor for $900.</span></b>
I can finally break the $1,000 barrier without sacrificing quality!
This makes it super-easy for IT Pros to build a blistering fast Windows
Hyper-V server that can run many VMs.</li>
<li><b style="background-color: red;"><span style="color: white;">Intel Core i7 hex-core, 64GB RAM, SSD, ATX form-factor for $1,725.</span></b> This build is geared toward those who want double the VM density and outstanding performance.</li>
<li><b><span style="background-color: purple; color: white;">Intel Xeon E5 hex-core, 64GB RAM, SSD, ATX form-factor for $1,835.</span></b> This build uses true server hardware for the ultimate in reliability and scalability.</li>
</ul>
Each of the three server builds use components from the vendors'
hardware compatibility lists to ensure the utmost in reliability.
They will all run Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be "future-proof" to
run the upcoming Windows Server 2016 release.<br />

Each build uses the same storage format -- a 256GB SSD for the OS, a
500GB or 1TB SSD for regularly running high performance VMs, and a 1TB
traditional hard drive for storing ISOs, software applications, and base
images. Each server utilizes SATA III 6Gb/s drives and USB 3.0 ports
for the fastest I/O performance.

<pre>[PS] C:\>Get-TransportAgent
Identity Enabled Priority
-------- ------- --------
Connection Filtering Agent True 1
Address Rewriting Inbound Agent True 2
Edge Rule Agent True 3
Content Filter Agent True 4
Sender Id Agent True 5
Sender Filter Agent True 6
Recipient Filter Agent True 7
Protocol Analysis Agent True 8
Attachment Filtering Agent True 9
Address Rewriting Outbound Agent True 10</pre>
<pre> </pre>
The connection filter agent looks at the IP address of a server that
is making an SMTP connection to the Edge Transport server and decides
whether to block or allow the connection. It makes the decision by
looking up the IP address in a block list, allow list, or by querying a
block/allow list provider.<br />
<br />
When your Exchange organization is receiving spam you can add the IP
addresses of the spammers to an IP block list on the Edge Transport
server. However this is quite inefficient, as you’ll constantly be
adding new IP addresses to the list.<br />
<br />
A more effective approach is to use one or more IP block list providers, such as <a href="http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/">Spamhaus</a> (my personal favourite) or <a href="http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml">SpamCop</a>.<br />
<br />
To add Spamhaus to your connection filter agent run the follow Exchange Management Shell command on the Edge Transport server.<br />
<br />
<pre>[PS] C:\>Add-IPBlockListProvider -Name Spamhaus -LookupDomain zen.spamhaus.org -AnyMatch $true -Enabled $true -RejectionResponse "IP address is listed by Spamhaus"
</pre>
<br />
Note you can change the rejection message that it sent back to the sender.<br />
<pre> </pre>
<pre>[PS] C:\>Set-IPBlockListProvider Spamhaus -RejectionResponse "IP address is listed by Spamhaus Zen."
</pre>
<br />
You can add multiple providers, just make sure you check their
guidance on whether there are issues adding multiple lookup domains from
the same provider. Also make sure you check their terms and conditions
and comply with any commercial usage policies they have.<br />
<pre> </pre>
<pre>[PS] C:\>Get-IPBlockListProvider</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre> Name LookupDomain Priority
---- ------------ --------
Spamhaus zen.spamhaus.org 1
SpamCop bl.spamcop.net 2
</pre>
After the block list provider has been in place for a day or two you
can see the results by running the Get-AntispamTopRBLProviders.ps1
script that ships with Exchange.<br />
<pre>[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\scripts>.\get-AntispamTopRBLProviders.ps1

But they will never shrink when data is removed from them. <p>For example if you have a 20Gb mailbox database file and move 4Gb worth of mailboxes to another database, the file will remain at 20Gb in size. <p>However, the database itself will have 4Gb of “white space” in it, which is space that is available for new data to be written without growing the size of the file. <p>Your options to reclaim that space are to either: <ul> <li>Create a new mailbox database and move all the mailboxes to that database <li>Perform an offline defrag of the existing database to shrink the file </li></ul> <p>Each option has pros and cons. An offline defrag involves an outage for all users on that database, but may be more convenient if there is not additional storage available to allocate to the Exchange server to hold the new database. <p>On the other hand a mailbox migration has fewer risks, can be less disruptive as a whole, but will generate a lot of transaction logging that needs to be kept under control so it may take longer (ie several nights/weekends to migrate) as opposed to just one outage for a defrag. <h4>Determining Free Space in an Exchange 2010 Mailbox Database</h4> <p>In Exchange 2010 you can see how big your mailbox databases are, and how much white space they have, by running the following command in the <a href="http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2010-install-management-tools">Exchange Management Shell</a>.<pre>[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,databasesize,availablenewmailboxspace -auto<br /><br />Name DatabaseSize AvailableNewMailboxSpace<br />---- ------------ ------------------------<br />MB-HO-01 18.26 GB (19,604,766,720 bytes) 9.544 GB (10,247,766,016 bytes)<br />MB-HO-02 15.63 GB (16,785,670,144 bytes) 3.696 GB (3,968,761,856 bytes)<br />MB-HO-Archive-01 648.1 MB (679,542,784 bytes) 134.6 MB (141,164,544 bytes)</pre><br /><p>In the example above the database MB-HO-01 is 18.26Gb in size but has 9.544Gb white space due to archiving that has occurred. If you want to reclaim that disk space then the file can be shrunk by using <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998249%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx">eseutil</a> to defrag it.<br /><p>In this example I will demonstrate how to defrag a mailbox database for a single <a href="http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2010-server-roles">Exchange 2010 Mailbox server</a> that is not a member of a <a href="http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-server-2010-database-availability-group-installation-step-by-step">Database Availability Group</a>.<br /><p>Do not follow the procedure in this document if your Mailbox server is a member of a DAG. Before you defrag any mailbox database <a href="http://exchangeserverpro.com/defrag-exchange-server-mailbox-databases">please read and understand the pros and cons</a> of this operation and make the best decision for your specific situation.<br /><h4>Preparing to Defrag an Exchange 2010 Mailbox Database</h4><br /><p>The first thing to be aware of when planning a defrag is that you can only perform this task when the database is dismounted. This means that users with mailboxes on that database will not be able to access their email while you are defragging it.<br /><p>The second thing to be aware of is that you need some available disk space to perform the defrag. This is because a new file is written during the defrag process, so for a period of time both the old and new files will exist, as well as a temporary file that eseutil creates.<br /><p>So to plan for an Exchange 2010 mailbox database defrag you need an amount of free space equivalent to 1.1x the predicted size of the new file.<br /><p>In this example that would be:<br /><blockquote><br /><p>18.26 – 9.544 = 8.7<br /><p>8.7 x 1.1 = 9.57</p></blockquote><br /><p>In other words, I’ll need about 10Gb of free disk space to run this defrag. Since I don’t have that much free space on the same drive as the database I will need to specify a different temporary location when I run eseutil. This can be another local drive or a UNC path, just be aware that if you are using a UNC path the defrag will take longer due to network latency.<br /><p>Before proceeding you should be sure that you have a good, working backup that you can use for recovery if something goes wrong during the defrag.<br /><h4>Using ESEUtil to Defrag an Exchange 2010 Mailbox Database</h4><br /><p>Open the Exchange Management Shell and navigate to the folder containing the database file.<pre>cd D:\Data\MB-HO-01</pre><br /><p>Dismount the mailbox database.<pre>Dismount-Database MB-HO-01</pre><br /><p>No run ESEUtil to defrag the file.<pre>[PS] D:\Data\MB-HO-01>eseutil /d MB-HO-01.edb /t\\testserver\defrag\temp.edb<br /><br />Extensible Storage Engine Utilities for Microsoft(R) Exchange Server<br />Version 14.01<br />Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

Therefore, an external or Internet DNS server with a known IP address of 172.31.01.01 was used to perform the query. Next, the query type was set to MX to locate the mail exchangers for example.com. In this example, five SMTP servers are equally balanced, each with its own IP address. However, your domain might only have a single entry, as seen in the following example: <p><code>contoso.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailbox.contoso.com</code> <p><code>mailbox.contoso.com internet address = 10.57.22.3</code></p> Artur Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10224560777888411273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711613131708355128.post-25110229302777102842015-11-23T17:46:00.001+00:002015-11-23T17:46:08.919+00:00Removing a Mailbox from Quarantine in Exchange Server 2013<p> </p> <p>n Exchange Server 2010 the process required more manual work (you can check the step by step <a href="http://itprocentral.com/releasing-a-mailbox-from-exchange-server-2010-quarantine/">http://itprocentral.com/releasing-a-mailbox-from-exchange-server-2010-quarantine/</a> ), however a new set of cmdlets *-MailboxQuarantine were introduced and they help the administrator to add and remove mailboxes in the quarantine. <p>A good way to check a list of all mailboxes that are being quarantined is using the following cmdlet: <p>Get-Mailbox –Server <Server-Name> –ResultSize unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where-Object { $_.IsQuarantined –eq $True } | Select DisplayName,IsQuarantined,QuarantineEnd <p>In order to remove a mailbox from there, just use the following the cmdlet: <p>Disable-MailboxQuarantine <mailbox> <p> <p><a title="http://itprocentral.com/removing-a-mailbox-from-quarantine-in-exchange-server-2013/" href="http://itprocentral.com/removing-a-mailbox-from-quarantine-in-exchange-server-2013/">http://itprocentral.com/removing-a-mailbox-from-quarantine-in-exchange-server-2013/</a></p> Artur Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10224560777888411273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711613131708355128.post-16391299627485117072015-11-12T16:43:00.001+00:002015-11-12T16:43:35.391+00:0010 must-have Windows server tools<p> </p> <p><a title="http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-must-have-windows-server-tools/" href="http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-must-have-windows-server-tools/">http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-must-have-windows-server-tools/</a></p> Artur Pintohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10224560777888411273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711613131708355128.post-74907713123484603902015-11-12T16:23:00.000+00:002015-11-12T16:25:37.440+00:00How to Extend the Virtual Disk Size of a XenVM<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #4d4f53; font-family: HelveticaNeueW01-55Roma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">

To extend file systems on an extended disk you must use file system tools that correspond to a particular file system type. Recommended file systems are those that can be expanded while the system is running and mounted. For example:</span></div>
