All about Windows Servers and much more
Microsoft did a good work with Windows Server 2012 and 2012R2 documentation. They put together all TechNet documentation to one PDF document, so now you can have concentrated all the server documentation in one single file. It is complete, easy to find (OK, there are approximately 8000 pages…) and all in one place. Very nice.
This file is downloadable from TechNet by clicking this link..
For many of us will be Hyper-V replica in Windows Server 2012 very useful. The technique permits to small companies or datacenters to have a system online very quickly and with minimum investments. There are a lot of blogs and documents where it is explained how Hyper-V replica works, but at the same time I could not find any document how to implement monitoring.
This is why I wrote the script for sending the mail, if something goes wrong. This script (you can download it for free) sends a mail if there is any replication out of normal state. Of course, you can change the expression at your own choice and use it in your environment.
I am working in IT for more than 10 years, concerning most of my time with small companies. A result of this work is a good knowledge of problems and products used in that companies, like Windows Small Business Server, System Center Essentials, Windows OS ecc.
