Fakeraid with XenServer
Do you also have “fakeraid”, and want to use it with XenServer?
Well, you might be in luck, or maybe not
If you use RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10 you are lucky.
However, if you use RAID5 like me, you have a problem.

It is possible to attach a hard disk directly to a XenServer guest.
I use this so I can always read these disks with another Windows Server, whenever the XenServer host would fail completely.
Hi,
When trying to install Windows Small Business Server 2008 on a XenServer System, i encountered several errors.
The first ones I don’t really remember, but they where fixed by installing the XS-Tools before starting the SBS configuration wizard.
Then there was another problem when trying to install on XenServer 5.5. At some point in the installation the server rebooted and then stated that you should retry the setup.
The only fix for this problem that I found was to choose ”Other install media” as the Template, and not “Windows Server 2008 x64″
Here are the steps you need to take, and some things to keep in mind
Check if everything is working:

Hi,
I’m here with a new problem that I solved a while ago, but I do think lots of people will benefit from this.
Outlook Web Access 2007 has a new feature “Documents”. It can be used to access your documents through owa from anywhere.
The problem is, that even when you configure everything, it still doesn’t work. You can only access the local exchange server, but no other computer or server. Because you always get the following error:

Authentication Failure:
Outlook Web Access was unable to retrieve the requested SharePoint document or folder. This may have occured because of the way your Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint servers are configured. You can try going directly to the resource by copying the link you typed and pasting it into Internet Explorer. For more information, contact technical support for your organization.
The error states an error with a SharePoint document, but we do want to access a File Share.
Hi,
I’ve been using the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 since it was available as a beta.
In this version there is a bug with the display pictures. It doesn’t remember the size you selected.
It is a known bug, but still, in the final release, it’s still there !
For now, I just hide the display pictures, as they take too much space in the “medium” setting (How big would “Large” be?).
But even with small display pictures, there is a lot of wasted space.
The reason for this post is that I made a simple redesign of the layout, using the small display pictures.
So, what do you think? Should the Messenger developer team change their layout?
edit: Due to request I’ve added a possible screen when used with a webcam.
edit2: I also added the original layout.
If you ever get this error when trying to visit an SSL site on a non-standard port, you will have to use a script to change the allowed SSL Ports.
Just installed Microsoft EBS 2008, and suddenly Outlook keeps annoying me with password prompts.
Sometimes it seemed to work perfectly for a couple of hours, and then suddenly the prompt is there every minute.
