• Announcing “Using virtualization in a hosting environment” posts

  Should you virtualize your hosting server? Well, there’s no straightforward answer to this question. Sometimes, yes, you should virtualize, and sometimes, obviously, you shouldn’t. How do decide which services to virtualize? Is there any point in virtualization of hosting services? What will we gain with virtualization? What will we lose with [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 29 2010, 12:35 by anonymous Filed under: guest post, hosting, virtualization

• How Do I: Use the Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit to identify servers suitable for virtualization with Hyper-V?

  Here is one more useful video from TechNet. Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit is a valuable resource which can help you identify server suitable for virtualization with Hyper-V, and this video shows you how to do it. It’s very short (06:20 minutes), so it shouldn’t be a problem to watch it .

• Article review – 5 things Microsoft must do to stay in the virtualization game

  A couple of months ago (to be precise, on July 20th) I noticed a post on VirtualizationAdmin.com titled 5 things Microsoft must do to stay in the virtualization game. I immediately wanted to write my own version of the post and make a comment on that article, but I decided to skip on this one [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 27 2010, 09:31 by anonymous Filed under: blog, microsoft, opinion, virtualization

• [VIDEO] How to install Hyper-V Server 2008?

  It seems I forgot to post news and tutorials about Hyper-V Server 2008 . For those who don’t know, Hyper-V Server 2008 is a standalone “operating system” with only one role available – Hyper-V. It is free, lightweight and great solution for your virtual environment. It has no GUI, so you have to create and [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 20 2010, 05:12 by anonymous Filed under: hyper-v, hyper-v server, tutorial, video, virtualiq, virtualization

• 4 reasons why Microsoft should give Windows Phone 7 to its MVPs

  A couple of months ago, Microsoft announced it will provide a new mobile phone running Windows Phone 7 to its every employee. Considering the fact that Microsoft has ~90.000 employees, that’s a big number of devices. Microsoft has around 3000-4000 MVPs (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals), who are not employees of the Microsoft Corporation. MVPs are [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 18 2010, 12:26 by anonymous Filed under: blog, mvp, opinion

• Speaking at ITPRO user group Split

  It has been a while since we restarted ITPRO user group Split. We have meetings every month and I’m very pleased with the success of our group. We have 20-35 members attending every meeting, and I consider that as a very good number. We don’t have problems with finding speakers (I thought we would), and [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 12 2010, 02:24 by anonymous Filed under: events, itproug, mscommunity

• DHCP Server requires authentication

  A couple of weeks ago, I faced a problem that I’ve never seen before. I’ve seen an environment with Windows Server 2008 R2 installed, without domain, and with DHCP server installed. DHCP Server started asking for a Active Directory Server authorization and refused to start and provide IP addresses. As there is no Active Directory [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 08 2010, 11:22 by anonymous Filed under: dhcp, R2, role, tips, tutorial, windows server, windows server 2008

• Dynamic Memory Architecture

  Have you ever start thinking about how it’s possible to have something like Dynamic Memory? For me, it was a “shock” to see memory available to virtual machine goes up and down constantly. I was wondering how something like that is possible, and here is a basic description of the process. First of all, it [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 07 2010, 04:00 by anonymous Filed under: dynamic memory, hyper-v, hyper-v server, R2, virtualization, windows server 2008

• Teach your users to use Windows7

  For system administrators, switching to a new version of Windows is usually a simple task and we get use to it really easy. But for the end users it might not be that way. With more and more organizations getting ready to deploy Windows 7 (or already use Windows 7), system administrators are facing a [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 06 2010, 11:18 by anonymous Filed under: books, ebook, free, windows, windows7

• Why Dynamic Memory?

  Memory is the key factor to the number of running virtual machines. In 99% cases, you will run out of your memory and won’t be able to start a new virtual machine. In 1% cases, you will have no more disk space  (that happens to me from time to time ). Virtualization helps your [...] Copyright © Ilija Brajkovic http://www.brajkovic.info Posted lis 05 2010, 02:35 by anonymous Filed under: dynamic memory, hyper-v, virtualization

• How to reserve a memory for a Hyper-V host?

  With Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 getting ready to RTM, system administrators should pay attention to one more thing. Hyper-V Dynamic Memory, the biggest feature in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, enables system administrators to oversubscribe (not overcommit) their RAM. It works great, but you could face some problems with a Hyper-V host.
