How to properly reboot Exch2010 system w/ roles on different servers?

I have a 300 user Exch2010/Win2008r2 network.  It has 1 server with CAS and HUB and one server with MBX roles.  I have a Blackberry BES on a different box.  The Mailbox Server looks like it is runnning low on RAM - it only has 10% free at
the moment.  There haven't been any performance issues, but I can reboot it this afternoon due to a holiday party if I want.  It is the first time since it was in production that we have had to reboot it ourselves.  A vendor did it before. 
COming from a Groupwise background, I would think I should stop the BES, then stop the CAS/HUB and then stop/reboot the MBX server.  Finally reboot the CAS/HUB and finally reboot the BES.
1. Is this correct?
2. I would normally go to the services spot under Server manager and stop each service and once that is done, reboot.  Is there an order I should close the services on a given server - ie exch ad topology, then info store, then ...?
I only have about 2 hours to find the answer, so any help would be appreciated!

That's not a problem. Leave it alone. Exchange will suck up all the
memory it can.

Don't do it. It isn't broken. It isn't even sick. It's working just
the way it should be.

reboot the CAS/HUB and finally reboot the BES.

No. If you feel the urgent need to unnecessarily reboot the mailbox
server, just reboot it.

No need for manual intervention.

Go enjoy the party and leave the server alone. :-)

  • How to properly setup LB probe for ADFS 3.0 servers

    We are facing a problem during ADFS 3.0 (Windows Server 2012 R2), because we do not find a suitable URL for hardware Load Balancer probe to test ADFS nodes.
    When tried with IE browser, the URL
    https://sts.adfs1.ad/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx properly results in ADFS login page but, when tried the same URL with HW LB probe, the probe gets no answer from ADFS server at all.
    We compared incoming traffic with network monitor in that ADFS server node (https temporary changed to http to see the traffic), a somewhat similar HTTP GET query did exist:
    GET /adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx HTTP/1.1..Accept: image/jpeg, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-application, application/xaml+xml, application/x-ms-xbap, */*..Accept-Language: fi-FI..User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows

  • CUA with HR-Org - How to assign systems for role

    Dear all,
    we are planning to use CUA with HR-Org assignment. Can please anyone explain to me how or where the system for the role comes from.
    I mean, normaly in SU01 -> Role Assignment I have in the first colum the system and in the second colum the role. It the role assigment come from HR-ORG there is always the local logical system in the system colum. This is not what we want.
    CUA is on Solution Manager, HR-ORG is replicated from R/3 HR Systeme and the user needs the roles in ECC production systeme.
    So how can we manage the system/role combination assignment?
    Thanks for any hints.
    Best regards
    Roman

    Hi,
    If I understand your problem you want to do role assignment from the HR-Org structure on a system that is using CUA.
    I have only managed this successfully when the CUA master is also the system with the HR-Org structure on it. Otherwise you have lots of issues with replicating data between systems. I did this for a UK council's SAP solution where we allocated all the roles from the HR system, including roles on ECC, SRM(EBP), CRM and BI - so it does work.
    PO13 on the system with the org. structure will only allow you to allocate a role that exists on that system, but if the roles that you are allocating are composite roles that include single roles on other systems, you can achieve this sort of business role allocation without having to go the IdM route.
    Darren Hague (no relation) gave a presentation at SAP Tech Ed 07 on such a scenario, that explains how the composites would be set up far better than I can, but in essence you use the CUA connectivity and the rights of the CUA master system (which includes the org. structure) to allocate roles on other systems / clients in your CUA landscape.
    Have a search through SAP Tech Ed 07 presentations and you should find what you are looking for.

  • How to speed up my system- reboot from time machine or increase free space?

    I've just upgraded my system to 3GB ram and some actions are being quite sluggish still- this I would suspect is because I have only 3GB free on my 120GB hard drive.
    Would rebooting the system from a time machine backup speed up the computer- in that all the files should be continuous or should I just aim to make more space on the hard drive?

    Ouch! You need to delete files - it's not a fragmentation issue, but a lack of available space for virtual memory and swap files. You should always have 10-15% of your capacity free (so, for you, that means keeping 11-16 GB free space on your drive).
    At this point, I'd recommend deleting files to free up space, then running Disk Utility > Verify Disk (and if errors are found, boot from the Install DVD and Repair Disk).
    To find your largest files, use something like Disk Inventory X:

  • Upgraded to FF4 now it keeps telling me to reboot for upgrade to go into effect, regardless of how many times i reboot the system

    Went to upgrade to FF4 upgraded, and it told me to re boot the system to complete installation. Clicked to confirm reboot and screen closed down. PC chose that moment to have a power failure and when I switched it on again, I'd lost firefox and now every time I try to load firefox, the box comes up telling me to reboot the system to complete installation. When I reboot, nothing happens, it's like it's locked in a loop. curently cannot access any version of Firefox.
    I need to preserve my bookmarks and remembered passwords, otherwise I'd uninstall and reinstall from scratch. what can I do?

    Try rebooting the computer, do NOT open Firefox and then try the clean reinstall.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  • How to Properly Clear CMOS...

    Hey Guys,
    I’ve checked the MSI manual and I’ve taken a look at the sticky/FAQ’s over here in the forum as well, and I wasn’t really able to find instructions on how to properly clear the CMOS (after a BIOS flash).
    So first of all what’s the correct way to clear the CMOS?
    1. Should I leave the power cord connected to the PSU and then press the “clear CMOS button” while the battery is still in the motherboard?
    2. OR should the power cord be detached from the PSU and the motherboard battery removed and then should I press the “clear CMOS button”? (And if so, for how long should the batter be removed before connecting it back to the motherboard?)
    Secondly,
    I was looking over the steps in this guide (http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/ntfs.htm) and I’m not sure at which point I should clear the CMOS. After I’ve executed the flash command and the flash has been complete, it says in step 12. “Reboot your system when prompted.”
    So should I turn off the machine right after the BIOS flash and then clear the CMOS… or should I reboot the machine right after the flash and then clear CMOS ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don’t want to FUBAR my board.
    Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Brownbay on 18-June-05, 01:28:24
    1. When I enter the flash command in DOS and the flash program completes the flash... will it say something like "flash successful" OR the only way I’ll know if the flash was successful is if after the flash I reboot and the machine posts?
    You will have a message like 'Hit F1 to reboot' in principle all is well...
    Quote from: Brownbay on 18-June-05, 01:28:24
    2. I understood everything in the steps that you listed up until step 4. Should I press the orange "clear CMOS" button first (Now do I have to hold it down... press it a few times... or just press it once) and THEN remove the battery... OR should the battery stay in at all times?
    While you press the button the battery must stay in it's place, it's is voltage that will clear the BIOS in a certain pin of the IC...
    As for the time to press...could be 1..2..3 seconds, no time defined, as soon as you press the button the Bios is cleared...but give it 3 secs.
    And it's not necessary to remove the battery at this point only in extreme cases.
    Quote from: Brownbay on 18-June-05, 01:28:24
    Finally, is it actually beneficial to clear the CMOS after flashing the BIOS? From what I’ve read... One of the main reasons to clear the CMOS after flashing to a new BIOS is so that you get rid of all the old BIOS options/commands that might be still lying around. So I can only see this as a good precautionary step rather than doing any harm to the motherboard, or causing the risk there of.
    It is highly beneficial to clear the Bios after an update, because some settings could be somewhat out of place and mess up your discs or memory or even the processor...one never knows...it is always better to clear for ensurance.
    Be well....

  • AirPort Extreme extends my network and has worked well for three months. Now it can no longer extend the network and flashes Amber. I have restored to factory settings moved it closer to time capsule and rebooted the system without luck

    i have a blinking Amber on my extreme now and it cannot extend the network.  It was working fine and nothing has changed. I have restored to factory settings moved it to another room and rebooted the system without luck. Any suggestions

    What OS are you running?
    Please give me a screenshot of the current AE setup..
    I strongly recommend if you have issues.. take control of all the variables. Apple routers have too much auto..
    Here is a list that I use for setups when using Yosemite.. but it relates to any OS.
    You will need to factory reset again to get going.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite or whatever you are using.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 for basestation.
    Use AE24ghz and AE5ghz for wireless on each band, with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for router but if the AE is bridged you can have trouble.. Try using the static IP method or control it via the main router dhcp reservations.
    4. Check your share name on the computer/s is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Set up the extend to the Express using 2.4ghz and then see how good or bad the connection is.. this is better in the old v5 utility but if you hover your mouse over where it shows connection an extra chunk of info comes up.
    I have specifically used 5ghz to make the extend.. because by testing it works better.. but do not be fooled.. this good connection is poor.. the RSSI.. which is difference signal .. at -79dbm is down the bottom of the stable.. and it drops out on a daily basis.. you want to see that signal around -60dbm at min.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.

  • Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • My iPod touch (4th gen) won't charge. It died as I was rebooting the system. It showed the screen that let me know it was charging, but no progress was made. And now the screen won't even turn on.?!?!?! Does any have any advise???

    My ipod touch died as I was rebooting the system. It won't charge?!?!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
