Active Directory, Windows Server No Comments »

The entire relocation process is described in this TechNet article: http://207.46.196.114/WindowsServer/en/library/af6646aa-2360-46e4-81ca-d51707bf01eb1033.mspx?mfr=true, the core for moving to local drives: http://207.46.196.114/WindowsServer/en/library/af6646aa-2360-46e4-81ca-d51707bf01eb1033.mspx?mfr=true and for network drives: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/dd498633-5d65-4a14-b68d-edcb85fada651033.mspx

Once you have completed the preparation of your target volumes and restarted in Directory Services Restore Mode, it’s quite easy with a few ntdsutil commands, so there is usually no need to reinstall and reconfigure Active Directory using dcpromo. This article discusses the volume configuration of Active Directory files and folders and here are the Active Directory best practices.

Windows Live Writer for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Blogging Software, Windows Live Writer, Windows Server 1 Comment »

Sorry, Windows Live programs cannot be installed on Windows Server, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, or Windows operating systems earlier than Windows XP Service Pack 2.

I’ve posted about this nonsensical issue before. As the source link quoted in that post is now dead and the issue continues with the latest version of WLinstaller.exe, here’s the msi source for direct download. It installs fine on Windows Server 2008 (x64) and Windows Server 2003 (32 bit x86). Not sure if it installs on XP Professional x64 as I haven’t tried it, it should though.

And while we’re at it, here are the other files (msi sources):

Windows Live Mail for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows Live Messenger for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows Live Photo Gallery for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows Live Toolbar for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows Live One Care - Family Safety for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows Live Sign-In Assistant for Windows Server and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Positively no support or warranty.
