re: HOWTO: Resize a VHD, in Virtual Server and Windows 2003

Gaily — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:33:48 GMT

There are many tools to resize the partitions, such as partition magic, GParted, disk director, easeus partition master. I would like to use easeus partition master, it is simple and easy to resize VMWare disk, no need to reboot and no data loss. See the detailed information: www.partition-tool.com/.../vmware-server-partition-resize.htm

Hello Frederick !

Thank you for the detailed information and shared config file. I was following the Win2008 how-to on etherboot website, but wasn't making any progress. The critical part seems to be your bus-id 'script' that allows pxe to first load gpxe and then allows gpxe to attach to the san.

I have win7 installer running, but I'm experiencing terrible performance, like 0.3MB/sec transfer rate to the iscsi target. If I attach to the target using an existing win7 install, iscsi performance is about 40-60MB/sec (gigabit network being used in both cases). Any suggestions what to check?

This worked for me on Exchange 2007. I was running into the same predicament with a bad dcpromo issue. Somehow, the default group policy on the 2003 server did not transfer that setting onto the 2008 server under Group Policy and it caused my Exchange Server to go nuts; I couldn't open Network Properties, Explorer.exe kept crashing, just weird random stuff on Exchange. I had to go and add my "Exchange Servers" instead of the Exchange Enterprise Servers group which must be a little different than in Exchange 2003. All in all, a great fix. It saved me a Microsoft Support call. Also, the main issue why I was having an Active Directory demotion problem, was that I was missing a .dll file. The name of the file in case anyone ever runs across this was msvcp60.dll.

Best wishes to whoever came up with the original fix and all of you guys on here for posting!

An alternative to the above to return the IPAddress List so that you can loop to find all reponses....

public IPAddress[] GetReverseDNS(string ip, int timeout)

{

try

{

GetHostEntryHandler callback = new GetHostEntryHandler(Dns.GetHostEntry);

IAsyncResult result = callback.BeginInvoke(ip, null, null);

if (result.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(timeout, false))

{

IPAddress[] IPs = callback.EndInvoke(result).AddressList;

return IPs;

}

else

{

IPAddress[] IPs = new IPAddress[1];

return IPs;

}

catch (Exception)

{

IPAddress[] IPs = new IPAddress[1];

return IPs;

}
