Como activar a Standby Continuous Replication (SCR)

Standby Continuous Replication é uma das melhores funcionalidades introduzidas com o Exchange Server 2007 SP1.

Recentemente tive a oportunidade de utilizar SCR, pelo que segui os passos descritos no artigo da Microsoft TechNet, How to Enable Standby Continuous Replication for an Existing Storage Group. Uma vez que todos os transactions logs desde a criação do Storage Group não estavam disponíveis (o que é normal devido ao processo de backup), tive que utilizar seeding do nó passivo.

Estes são os passos necessários para este cenário:

1. Garantir que podem ser utilizadas as mesmas paths dos ficheiros de transaction logs e da base de dados, tanto no SCR Source, como no SCR Target.
2. No nó activo (ou SCR source) correr o seguinte cmdlet de Exchange Management Shell cmdlet:
   

   Enable-StorageGroupCopy -Identity 
   <NameofStorageGroup> -StandbyMachine 
   <SCRTargetMachine> -ReplayLagTime 0.1:0:0

   
   
3. Outra vez no nó activo, suspender a replicação:

   Suspend-StorageGroupCopy 
   -Identity <Server\StorageGroupName> 
   -StandbyMachine <SCRTargetMachine>

   
   
4. No nó passivo (ou SCR Target) correr o seguinte comando:

   Update-StorageGroupCopy 
   -Identity <Server\StorageGroupName> 
   -StandbyMachine <SCRTargetMachine>

Este último passo vai iniciar a sincronização do ficheiro de base de dados do SCR Source para o SCR Target e pode demorar um bocado, dependendo da quantidade de dados a copiar. No final, o processo de réplica será automaticamente reiniciado.

Para verificar o estado da réplica, pode ser utilizado o seguinte cmdlet de PowerShell:

Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus -Server:<SCRTargetMachine>

MSIT whitepapers

Nino Bilic escreveu recentemente no blog You Had Me At EHLO de 4 novos documentos técnicos da Microsoft IT. Eu já tive a oportunidade de referir 3 desses documentos em posts anteriores, pelo que o realmente novo é apenas este:

• Operating a Global Messaging Environment by Using Exchange Server 2007 - Enterprise IT organizations, including the Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) group, deal with service level agreements (SLAs) and power users accustomed to high levels of performance, availability, and responsiveness. The 130,000-plus users at Microsoft send over 3 million internal e-mail messages a day from more than 150 offices worldwide, as well as from home and while on the road. At Microsoft, many business-critical communication processes depend on the availability of messaging services provided through Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007. [...]

Este whitepaper pode ser também descarregado como um Documento Word e está igualmente disponível a respectiva apresentação PowerPoint.

Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator v13.0

A equipa de Exchange da Microsoft disponibilizou o Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator v13.0. Esta folha de cálculo permite-me poupar imenso tempo no dimensionamento de servidores de mailbox, por isso o meu conselho é que a comecem também a utilizar.

Aqui fica uma lista das actualizações desta nova versão:

• We have updated the log generation numbers per message profile to be in line with our updated guidance.
• In v11.8, we decided to list the database cache per mailbox in the Storage Requirements results section.  However this lead to confusion because it was named "Memory Profile / Mailbox" which implied that you would only utilize the associated amount of memory with the message profile (i.e. 5MB with Heavy profile), however that is not always the case. For example, 1200 2GB Light message profile mailboxes only requires 5GB of RAM (1200 * 2MB + 2GB), however the design requires 13 databases, which with SP1 requires 6GB of RAM.  ESE will utilize 4GB of that RAM for the cache.  As a result, 4096MB / 1200 ≈ 3.5MB per mailbox. So to make this clear, we have changed this text to be "Database Cache / Mailbox" which indicates how much cache is available per mailbox.
• In the scenario where you override the IOPS prediction formula for your mailbox tiers, we have adjusted the "Read:Write Ratio" input to allow you to enter any read percentage you would like, rather than restricting you to a few key ratios.
• We updated the "Database Reads / Mailbox" calculation description.
• We updated the Log Replication Requirements worksheet, simplifying the data displayed in the results section.
• We have included new functionality for log replication requirements.  You now have the input options for entering your network link type and its associated latency.  These options are then used to recommend TCP/IP optimization settings for Windows Server 2003 when utilizing geographically dispersed clustering and/or standby continuous replication.  In addition, if the chosen network link cannot sustain the throughput requirements for log replication, we will recommend an appropriately sized network link and Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP optimization settings.

A ferramenta propriamente dita pode ser obtida neste link.

TechNet Magazine - Janeiro 2008

Já está disponível a edição de Janeiro da TechNet Magazine (também disponível para download em formato HTML Help .chm).

Depois de ultrapassado o hype à volta do Service Pack 1 do Exchange Server 2007, o tema é agora o System Center, com um especial enfoque na virtualização. Lembrem-se que o Hiper-V está aí mesmo a chegar.

Mas revista que é revista tem que ter alguns artigos dedicados à temática do correio electrónico, por isso aqui ficam os links:

• Exchange Queue & A - Adding Voice Prompts, Choosing a PBX , and More
• Windows PowerShell - Heading Off Malicious Code

Documentação Forefront & Antigen SP1

Após a disponibilização do SP1 do Exchange Server 2007, assistiu-se ao lançamento quase de imediato do  SP1 de produtos muito próximos do Exchange.

Entretanto a documentação desses mesmos produtos foi actualizada e está agora disponível para download:

• Microsoft Antigen SP1 Documentation - The Messaging Security Suite includes Antigen for Exchange, Antigen for SMTP Gateways, and Antigen Spam Manager, and provides server-level protection against the latest e-mail threats.
• Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server with SP1 Documentation - Forefront Security for Exchange Server SP1 integrates multiple scan engines from industry-leading security firms into a comprehensive, layered solution, helping protect your Microsoft Exchange Server messaging environments from viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content.
  This new release provides support for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and Windows Server 2008, as well as content filtering and manageability enhancements.

Chamo a vossa atenção para um dos documentos disponíveis no último link e que se prende com a instalação em cluster do Forefront. Apesar de poder ser instalado em ambientes cluster, a verdade é que a versão RTM do Forefront não é verdadeiramente cluster-aware, o que pode provocar alguns eventos aborrecidos no Application Event Log.

Existe um hotfix disponível e que está descrito no seguinte artigo da Knowledge Base:

• Forefront Security for Exchange Server fails in a single copy cluster environment

Este hotfix é na realidade uma instalação completa do Forefront, tornando-o cluster-aware (vão notar um novo cluster resource).

Ainda não tive oportunidade de experimentar o Forefront SP1, mas espero que inclua o fix atrás descrito (de acordo com o ficheiro README, isso está garantido).

PowerShell commands for Active Directory

Ora aqui está um assunto que eu andava para blogar desde que o li no blogue do Evan Dodds.

A Quest disponibiliza o ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory que mais não é que um conjunto de comandos PowerShell (CMDLETs) que podem ser descarregados de forma grátis da página da Quest e utilizados para realizar operações de administração na Active Directory.

The ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory is an Active Directoryspecific automation and scripting shell that provides a command-line management interface for administering directory data either via Quest ActiveRoles Server or by directly accessing Active Directory domain controllers. The ActiveRoles Management Shell is built on Microsoft Windows PowerShell technology.

The ActiveRoles Management Shell is implemented as a Windows PowerShell snap-in, providing an extension to the Windows PowerShell environment.

As the commands provided by the ActiveRoles Management Shell conform to the Windows PowerShell standards, and are fully compatible with the default command-line tools that come with Windows PowerShell, the information found in the above documents of Microsoft’s is fully applicable to the ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory.

Recentemente, necessitei de exportar todos os ProxyAddresses de vários utilizadores, pelo que estes cmdlets se revelaram bastante úteis. Aqui fica a linha de comando utilizada:

Get-QADUser -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties -ObjectAttributes @{mail='*'} -IncludedProperties sAMAccountName,distinguishedName,mail,
userPrincipalName,proxyAddresses  -SerializeValues -SizeLimit 0 | Export-Csv 'C:\proxyAddresses.csv'

E esta é a lista de todos os cmdlets disponíveis:

CONNECT-QADSERVICE
DISCONNECT-QADSERVICE
GET-QADUSER
SET-QADUSER
NEW-QADUSER
DISABLE-QADUSER
ENABLE-QADUSER
