		<description><![CDATA[VMWare vCenter Server requires a sql database engine to store it&#8217;s data. During the vCenter installation there is an option to choose a &#8220;Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express&#8221; instance for small scale deployments. I have installed the local SQL engine on my vCenter virtual machine and now I want to migrate this database to a central SQL server. There are several ways to do that and this is how I migrated my VIM_VCDB from the local SQL instance to my central server. How to backup a &#8220;small scale&#8221; VMWare vCenter deployment database? Open a command prompt with elevated permissions (I am working from a Windows Server 2008 R2 server) and type the following command: This command will connect to the local SQL Server 2005 Express edition installation  and use the named instance of SQLEXP_VIM. Backup database will create a backup file called  VIM.bak of the VIM_VCDB running on the local sql database engine. I copied the VIM.bak file and used the Microsoft SQL Server Management Tools to restore the database, added the Computer account the the SQL Server security and assigned db ownership. I opened ODBC and changed the System DSN to the central sql server. Restarted the VMware VirtualCenter Server service and everything was up and running again. Make sure to uninstall the local SQL server instance from Add/Remove progams.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Problem Statement In the last year I have seen many strange problems when Offline Files and Redirected folders have been enabled on Windows 7. Many times the Group Policy Folder Redirection failed due to the folders were set to offline or automatic caching from the shares. To start with a clean user profile you can delete everything but still the Offline Files cache database is not reset. The offline files database is stored in C:\Windows\CSC. I have seen several different ways to initialize/reset the offline database on the Internet but this one has been tested and proved by me to be working for Windows 7 Enterprise client. Requirements There are three diffrent options to enable the FormatDatabase flag in the registry. Option 1 Create a FormatDatabase.reg file with notepad and import that from command line. E.g. RegEdit.exe /s FormatDatabase.reg Option 2 Option 3 It doesn&#8217;t matter which option you are using the result will be same. Reboot the client and log in with admin account. After reboot check &#8220;Offline Files&#8221; control panel by going to View your offline files Open Computers which should contain 0 items. Meaning the C:\Windows\CSC database folder is now empty and you can start with clean Offline Files Database. References &#8220;Network or file permission&#8221; or &#8220;folder does not exist&#8221; error KB934160]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The SMS 2003 infrastructure I am managing has one singe SMS database which became 4 GB. 1GB data and 3GB log. Today I planned the database maintenance and managed to shrink the files with 3GB. Open the Enterprise Manager or Microsoft SQL Server Management tools and make sure the database option is set to Auto Shrink = Auto (enhancement for the future). Run the following sql script: USE [SMS_123] GO DBCC SHRINKFILE (N&#8216;SMS_123_log&#8217;, 0, TRUNCATEONLY) GO Another useful script can be found here which will create a stored procedure and show all table space sizes with rows and MB used. exec sp_show_huge_tables]]></description>
