    Disk partition flexibility in virtual systems

    Yes it does, but it's not such a great idea. Each time the disk grows, the esx server needs to place a lock on the vmfs volume, making it inaccessible during the time that the disk is allocated. Having said that, you can create 'thin' disks using vmkfstools (service console). It goes something...

    Domain controllers on VMware

    Pookies is right, time sync can be an issue. But disabling W32time on a DC disables all clients getting their time from the domain controller. Like Poekies said, sync the time of the DC using the VMware tools. But make following registry change...

    Virtual Center and ESX Connect issue

    Make sure that you dedicate enough memory to the service console. You can change the setting in Config/memory. The default value is 272MB, but VMware has already declared that this is way too little. After you've made the change, you'll have to reboot the ESX in order for the changes to take...

    Virtual Machines and FC Tape Library

    This is not (yet) possible in ESX. If you want to backup your VM's, VCB is the preferred way, an disk agent is the second option.

    VM Converter - Dynamic Disks on Win2K3 No Go! - Help!

    The most important thing is that you never change your source system. Otherwise you will not have anything to fall back to. For virtualizing dyn disks, you will need some third party imaging soft. I know Acronis is capable of doing this. Restore it to a VM you created manually. To inject the...

    Authenticated Users

    Authenticated users is not a real group. You can compare it with the everyone group. Authenticated users was introduced with NT4 SP4 I believe to stickten the everyone group a little bit. It can be compared with the everyone group, but you need be authenticated by a domain controller of the...

    Fibre cable/type suitable for 1000-Base-SX GBICs?

    I agree

    Can not backup all mailboxes

    Could be that the problem lays with exchange. A small corruption in your mail store can make BE give some error messages.

    Backupexec 9.1 MSDE

    No, with SQL server (msde is the light version of it), you're able to install multiple instances of sql. Therefore I do not expect you'll have much problems. the instance of BE is normally <servername>\BCKUPEXEC.

    Veritas 8.6 29GB not fitting to one 40GB tape

    Now actually, it will even speed it up. HW compression means that the compression will be done by the backup device. Hardware also most of times implicates faster than software.

    Veritas 8.6 29GB not fitting to one 40GB tape

    Best to turn hardware compression on in your backup program. If it is turned off, this behaviour is perfectly natural.

    BE 9.1 server & 10 AGENTS

    Normally the agents should match the version of the server. When you buy agent licenses version 10, plus a support pack, then you can request to convert the license into version 9.1.

    Unable to recieve mail sent from other exchange server on same domain

    Exchange 5.5 uses X400 to communicate with other exchange servers by default. Exchange 2000 uses smtp to communicate. Could it be smtp is blocked somewhere?

    Reset object permissions

    Using exchange system mgr, you should be able to correct the permissions.

    Defrag Database Partition

    Yes, no problem to defrag on another server. When dismounting the store, it will also apply all the transaction log files to it. After the defrag, you may delete the original database. However, it is perhaps best that you keep a copy of the original database and transaction logs somewhere...

    Demoting W2K DC with Exchange

    Check that the recipient update services connect to another domain controller. Even if you forget this, there is no immediate problem.

    Exchange Installation problem

    Install the exchange system mgr first, and then try to remove the server. If that doesn't work, you can remove the server manually from AD by using ADSI (mmc-plugin, windows supp tools). When using ADSI, be careful. The entries can be found in the configuration container.
