Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator

Here I am at Sin City, Las Vegas. What a experience I must admit!!

All this made possible by my boss, Steve Krems, without him I would not be what I am today. I would not have such opportunities to learn and do so much. He has guide me very well. Thank you Steve.

Exchange 2010 was officially RTM on 9 Nov 2009, cool. I attended a session by Ross Smith and Ross released this very useful tool that I strongly think that all Exchange Administrators who are planning for Exchange 2010 must have.

This is a tool that help to design your solution. This is the link to Ross Smith’s blog Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator and it is a long article. But definitely worth you spending your time reading through it.

Cheers.

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 is a handy companion for IT administrators to remote managed their servers.

I am going to show you how I use it to remote managed my Hyper-V server host.

Here is the download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en

Installation is simple – Accept the agreement.

And install…

You might want to browse the help contents to learn more.

You need to go to “Turn Windows features on or off” to enable the remote administration tools you want. I am going to select Server Manager and Hyper-V Tools.

Here I have Hyper-V tools on my Windows 7 machine and from here I can connect to my Hyper-V servers and manage them remotely.

Have fun!
