SQL Server Opertional practices: Support ended for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 and its time to upgrade too!

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:00:00 GMT

As of today the support for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 ends, though the mainstream support for SQL Server 2005 was ended on 12th April 2011. This means only extended support is available for this version until 12th April 2016. Though there is a differnt set of support policy for service pack releases on every Microsoft product, which is nothing but support ends 12 months after next service pack releases or at the end of product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first.

How to make XP SP2 think it’s SP3

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 05:00:00 GMT

First off! You know you really ought to upgrade to Service Pack 3. Microsoft ended support for SP2 back in July, and stopped issuing patches for it. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with a service pack in the past. Maybe you just don’t like change. Whatever the reason, if you’re stubbornly clinging to SP2, [...]

The New Exchange 2007 SP3 Password Reset Tool

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 includes a handy new web page that allows users to change their password before logging into Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Previously, new users who are required to change their password at next logon or users whose password has expired cannot log on to OWA. They will get the less than helpful error from the OWA, "The user name or password that you entered is not valid. Try entering it again", as shown below:

In order to logon to OWA, the user must logon to the network, enter their old password and the new password. Obviously, this causes problems for remote users whose password has expired or for new users who must change their password before logging in for the first time.

Exchange 2007 SP3 introduces a new SSL web page for these users that allows the user to change their password outside of OWA. The page tells the user, "Your password has expired and you must change it prior to signing in to Microsoft Outlook Web Access."

Once the user changes their password, the page redirects the user back to OWA.

This new functionality is not enabled by default, since some organizations do not allow password changes from outside the internal network. To enable it:

Logon to the CAS with administrator rights
Run Regedit and navigate to HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange OWA
Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value called ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabled
Assign the ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabled value: 1
Restart IIS using IISRESET /NOFORCE from the command line

Surprisingly, this functionality does not exist in Exchange Server 2010 (or the SP1 beta). I hope Microsoft decides to implement this when Exchange 2010 SP1 is finally released. It's a pretty handy feature!

Fix for Microsoft Exchange Protected Service Host service failed to start

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 05:00:00 GMT

If you install Exchange Server 2007 SP3 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 all-in-one server, you may get an error during installation of the Hub Transport role. The error says,

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Microsoft Exchange Protected Service Host service to connect.

The Microsoft Exchange Protected Service Host service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

This happens because there is a dependancy in the Microsoft Exchange Service Host service on IPv6. Check to ensure that Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) is enabled on the properties of the network adapter.
