re: Hyper-V VM Backup Script Batch File

Matt Williamson — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:39:21 GMT

The script copies virtual machine hard disk files, which are exact representations of the hard drive up to the point of shut down. So snapshots are unnecesarry, but if you want to include them (or anything else), add what you want copied to VmBackup.bat.

It's in the post above, but you may have missed it:

Your backup script and process works great. Thanks! My Hyper-V server is a test and development enviroment thus I also depend on my snapshots. So what do I need to do to include my snapshots in my backup? So that I might reconstruct a virtual machine completely including snapshots.

I have been trying to get my trixbox to send to an external address but having no success. I have webmin but I am not familiar where to go to configure the postfix server. Can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this task.

Thanks for your help

re: Duplicate Messages Using BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service)

MaryJane — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:56:06 GMT

I had this same issue after messing with my BIS settings in email setup. I had added a filter to my email accounts so i didnt recieve a copy of my sent mail each time i sent out a email to someone. I had also went into my settings and set my emails to be forwarded.

So after i started recieving my emails duplicate i decided that i needed to go in and switch back to my original settings, which was NOT forwarding my emails. So after i went in and changed my settings back everythings back to normal. And i dont recieve copys of the emails i send either. If you need instructions on how to setup a filter to stop your sent emails from coming to your email account you can go on crackberry forums to see setup instructions.

re: Changing the default MySQL password in TrixBox

Interesting, "To do it correctly, you must:" because this is wrong. You are changing to the root user under mysql and you should not. the user should be asteriskuser. You should not change the user to root, maybe to another user but not root.

Renaming logmon.exe seems to have solved the problem.

re: Connect an iPhone to Exchange 2007 via ActiveSync

Matt Williamson — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:28:25 GMT

Your users are lucky, I wish my company would do the same!

If you already have Exchange 2007 running with OWA access enabled, you're all set. I also have POP3 and IMAP access enabled, but they're not required for ActiveSync.

One thing I didn't expect was that the ActiveSync traffic comes in on the HTTPS protocol. I figured it'd be some new mail port (the way POP3 and IMAP have their own ports) and I'd have to make some new firewall rules. I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't have to modify my firewall settings at all. If you have Exchange OWA configured properly with an SSL certificate, you're good to go.

As with the "Contacts" problem I had in my post, be aware the iPhone will only use Exchange messages, contacts, and calendars once connected ... so you will lose anything local once you hook it up. You'll be warned during the setup process about this and it shouldn't be a problem if you're building them new.

I can't give you many details on performance. I only have 1 iPhone, POP3 access from my BlackBerry, and a handful of OWA users. My Exchange Server and Edge Transport Servers are both virtual machines, and performance has been fantastic since it's never under much load. I'm curious to how many users you'll have configured and what your infrastructure is like.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks for this! I was having so much trouble getting remote desktop working ... I just wish I'd found your article at the start of my investigation rather than at the end when I was looking for information about how to activate CALs ;)
