When you deploy your Windows Azure SDK 1.2 or 1.3 based application you might experience your application status is still stuck in “Starting” or cycling between “busy and starting”.   If you have decided to use Windows Azure SDK 1.3 then you can confiugre and use RDP Connection to access your Windows Azure VM through “Publish” dialog box on VS2010.

아래 포스트에서는 VSS 가 어떻게 VM과 연동되어 downtime 이 없이 backup을 수행할 수 있는지를 알려 줍니다. The Wonder of Volume Shadow Copy and Hyper-V http://blogs.technet.com/enterprise_admin/archive/2009/11/18/the-wonder-of-volume-shadow-copy-and-hyper-v.aspx   VMware 에서는 추가로 Tool을 구입해야 backup을 할 수 있는데 Windows 에서는 모든 것이 포함되어 있다고 합니다.

During the Keynote at TechEd 2009, we announced a few new Windows Server 2008 R2 Features that come in the RC .  One of these features, File Classification Infrastructure, is getting alot of buzz at the event, so Joey thought he should sit down with Nir Ben Zvi, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft and go over what File Classification is, and how it can help IT Professionals.  Here is the interview on TechNet EDGE.

There’s a lot of excitement around the potential for the widespread adoption of solid-state drives (SSD) for primary storage, particularly on laptops and also among many folks in the server world.  As with any new technology, as it is introduced we often need to revisit the assumptions baked into the overall system (OS, device support, applications) as a result of the performance characteristics of the technologies in use.  This post looks at the way we have tuned Windows 7 to the current generation of SSDs.  This is a rapidly moving area and we expect that there will continue to be ways we will tune Windows and we also expect the technology to continue to evolve, perhaps introducing new tradeoffs or challenging other underlying assumptions.  Michael Fortin authored this post with help from many folks across the storage and fundamentals teams.  –Steven Many of today’s Solid State Drives (SSDs) offer the promise of improved performance, more consistent responsiveness, increased battery life, superior ruggedness, quicker startup times, and noise and vibration reductions. With prices dropping precipitously, most analysts expect more and more PCs to be sold with SSDs in place of traditional rotating hard disk drives (HDDs).

Not just in order to show that this Blog is still alive but also because it may be a little useful hint for all of you doing the first steps with M, the language of the Oslo Developer Center . As you might already know you can create data models with M which are parsed and transformed into T-SQL Reference by the M-Parser.

Under torsdagens keynote på MIX09-konferensen annonserades att den släppta versionen av Internet Explorer 8 nu finns tillgänglig för nedladdning. Mikael Söderström har skrivit en mycket bra artikelserie om nyheterna för utvecklare i IE8

作为云计算平台的一部分，SQL Data Services (SDS) 最近宣布将支持云端的T—SQL操作模式，作为Azure Services 的一部分。 三月10号官方Blog http://blogs.technet.com/dataplatforminsider/default.aspx 上发布了该消息。 SDS 将发布全关系型数据库服务支持，以最大程度保护客户及开发人员原有的技能及投资，这将意味着今后不需进行大的改动，即可将原有基于SQL Server的应用部署到云端。开发者可以使用原有的开发经验、工具、知识就可进行云端开发。加速了产品投放市场的时间。 该服务将在2009年中投入使用，预计后半年可进行商业应用。

The Office Live Workspace Team has just introduced new features into the Office Live Workspace service – a free service which serves as sort of a “SharePoint-Lite” repository for saving, sharing, commenting on, and organizing your files. In addition to the service’s expansion to Eastern Europe, they’ve also added in some useful features which make document management easier.  Also, don’t forget to install the Office Live Update which includes the Office Live Add-in for Microsoft Office and the Microsoft Office Live Workspace Plug-In for Firefox along with some performance updates

Journal wrap is a very common condition we find while doing AD risk assesments. It is the situation where the FRS service has not been able to replicate all of the changes that have come through the NTFS journal before it wraps around on itself and starts overwritting the unreplicated changes. When a journal wrap is detected the FRS service will shut itself down and will require manual intervention by administrative staff.   To correct the journal wrap condition follow this kb: Using the BurFlags registry key to reinitialize File Replication Service replica sets: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290762 Journal wrap is much more common in environments where monitoring is not in place.
