FIVE TIPS FOR OPTIMIZING HYPER-V Takeaway: By following a few simple practices, you can get more value out of your server hardware while still delivering good VM performance. Brien Posey offers tips for tuning your Hyper-V environment.

I had one user come up to me saying they couldn't save to a series of shared folders on a particular server. Other uses were not experiencing the problem when accessing the same folders. After some troubleshooting I was able to determine that the use has these folders set up as mapped drives, however, each folder shows up as only having 74.6MB of free space when it reality it should have over 2GB. I also mapped various folders from multiple servers to the users profile and found that this issue is only occurring on the D: drive of this particular 2008 R2 file server. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to proceed, any ideas?

I'm an IT Manager of small shop and new in Windows Server 2008. Hope to learn more of it. Best regards to all.

Hi, Has anyone encountered any issues whereby the windows 2008 firewall is enabled for no apparent reason by itself? I did a windows update last night and this morning all my windows 2008 R2 servers had their windows 2008 firewall ON. GPO does not have a policy that enables Windows Firewall at all cost.

Hi everyone, I've started setting up a Windows 2008 server as a bit of a home project, basically to teach myself how to use it. I'm having trouble with some file permissions. Here's what I have set up: In my active directory, I have "user one", "user two" and "user three" which are all part of the domain users group. I also have "administrator" in the domain admins group. I have created a folder called "HomeFolders" on the C drive of the server and shared it. I can see this folder from my client PC when logged into the domain. The HomeFolders folder has read only access from domain users and full access from domain admins. This works correctly. Inside the…
