DAG ...

finally today I got a chance to configure DAG exchange 2010 on a live environment  , nailed it . Though was on the call with microsoft for over 2 hrs but it was easy , it was just we being too chary , as we had no window for errors as running late already and the management is a little pissed ... but whatever it was good.

  a good detailed explanation tomorrow.

Disaster Recovery is the buzz word . It was real costly and had lotta overheads till ystrday but now whatever softwares are being roll out DR is considered a core requirement . Same applies to exchange 2010 , apart from being more efficient and having like a million new gems it has also got a DR option . Well I am in a team and will be working on it soon . so I will keep all posted.

prerequisites : need to know somethin about what all has happned.

changing the logon screen .

i was asked to change the logon screen i had no clue how to do it ... change the logon screen on Terminal Server , tat sounded easy but with the limited permissions I had it got so difficult .

well just have to remember that change the file in system32\oobe\info\backgrounds
add a file backgroundDefaul.jpeg... and yes it should be a jpeg file less than 256k ...
quiet possible that info\background might not exist so go ahead create one ...and dont fear changing the background.bmp file .

if not then also change the following registry entry

hklm\software\microsoft\window\currentversion\authentication\logonUI\Background

and change the OEMbackground to 0 ...

have been out of touch for quiet some time but m back with a bang .. actually to bang my head .. now onwards the blogs would not be about me but the type of technologies I workon ..... so here we go .... hit it ..


oh .. and so that you kno we will mostly be talking about Vmware , MS servers and switches .
