Prior to moving Microsoft Exchange 2010 databases to a new location that we need to know:

  • transfer database operation will break in access to mailboxes located in the database. The time interval depends on the size of the database and move the time of replication in Active Directory
  • best to plan the transfer bases outside working hours, thus touches the smaller number of users and the network used by us will not be charged by other systems
  • transmitted base can not be enabled CircularLoggingEnabled
    CircularLogging can be disabled using Exchange Management Console or by using PowerShell:

On the telnetport25.com website we can find utility that can show us in graphical mode information on the amount of whitespace available to the Exchange databases.

Whitespace – is the amount of available free space in the Exchange database. Edb, which can be used by the mailbox located at the base will be enlarged until the entire database file. Edb mailboxes because of the increase.

So if we remove the mailbox at the base or deleted emails are in the database after a specified period is defined in the settings of the Exchange database, the deleted data is permanently deleted from the database or file. Edb. Unfortunately, the. Edb itself is not reduced only retains its size, such as he had, and will appear in the free space (whitespace), which will first be used to create new mailboxes in the database or from growing the current boxes. This allows the database file itself. EDB will increase its size until the database is available space whitespace.

Microsoft presents a new model for licensing Windows Server 2012.
Distribution will go to the four licensing models, two for small companies and two for large.
Smaller organizations can benefit from licensing Essentials and Foundation, and are available for larger additional two editions of the system: Datacenter and Standard.
Datacenter and Standard versions are not different range of functions, but the right of the number of virtual copies. Both versions can be licensed with the processor as well as access licenses specified for the user or device.

Interesting is not the Enterprise and Small Business Server, but the latter was replaced by Essentials version.

In Microsoft Windows Server 2012 we can’t longer find a version such as Windows Home Server, Small Business Server, Windows Web Server, Windows Server Enterprise Edition, Windows HPC.

The following table lists the available versions and their use:
