Lightning strike again… [ November 19th, 2008 ] Posted in » General

Oh man this is the second time my modem kena lightning strike and i not really aware that there is an strike. Altought I have install the Belkin powerstrip with phone lightning arrest but it still go through wonder how does it protect my device?

And I thought that my phone line having problem that I can’t hear any dial tone as I encounter few times telekom doing something on the exchange cause no tone and after few hours to 1 day the tone will back to normal. But this time few days so I check all the phone wiring as my house phone wiring was a mess, then only found out the Belkin powerstrip was out on the phone line.

At the same time my 3 yrs old rig having problem on the mainboard, it won’t startup hang on the BIOS screen just displaying the proccessor and that it stop there. Suspect cause by the lighning strike also where 1 of my 8 port switch port spoiled, might be the current strike to my mainboard LAN port make it short circuit.

Not sure if can claim my mainboard also, but if yes how to sent it? bring my whole rig over with all my data for sure I won’t give them right as i have tons of movie inside LOL. Will call them up later to clarify how to claim my mobo.

Change Windows Services path

Have you ever move application path to another location that have more space but after moving it to the new location, your apps services not seem to be able to start. When you try to start your application services the following error appear

There is a short fix for this, you can modify the services path without having to re-install back your apps. To fix, run “Regedit” in “Start Menu” -> “Run” and navigate to the following path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\[Name of Service]

edit the “ImagePath” key to your new apps locations. You can just fire up the services without having to reboot the server or workstation.

2X Application Server

I was testing out this software by 2X that enable you to publish individual application seamlessly without user having to be at office. User are able to access to application via web access and connect back to your office system running your accounting software or your favourite apps. It also able to load balance your terminal server farm based on the connection, memory and cpu usage.

It works like citrix but its cheaper then cixtrix, now it comes with 5 license free and you can try it out for your self. The installation is pretty straight forward and you barely need the manual to get this software run.

Here is the list of the features:-

Acronis Recovery for Exchange

Today I went to Acronis Seminar as they are launching the new product Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange with my colleague Lun. There is not much crowd as this is for resellers and the presenter was giving an impressive talk.

Arconis really have put a lot of effort to create such a great software that can save us a lot of time in doing DR and it able to help on the Exchange migration or upgrade version. It can backup exchange database or mailboxes and restoring can be done by mailboxes, databases and emails.

The GUI are really simple to use, just need to do few click and it works like champ. I certainly would recommend to customer if they are using Exchange and Acronis True Image that can restore back Windows Server in just 40 second from bare-metal.

Can you imagine that you can restore your Active Directory server in just 40 second back to your original state where it before it crash and you are able to remote restore the crash servers. Another beauty of the True Image that you are able to change hardware without transfering your data and resetup your preferences desktop setting, as True Image are able to migrate over to new hardware without reinstall your windows. This is another great area from Acronis.

At the end of the seminar there were a lucky draw, giving out 3 copies of Acronis True Image and 1 copies of Acronis Disk Director Suite 10. I was lucky enough for today and I get myself the grand price that is 1 copies of True Image and the Disk Director Suite 10.

Thanks to Acronis APAC and J.O.S (Jardine One Solutions) on the event and gifts.
