@kennethcanet hey thats the Intergration service account. Well if you are not using it then you can take it off your "ini" script completely ... but if you are going to use it then use your SQL service account to run it. If in production I would highly recommend create a new service account for each of your SQL services and running them all separately

Eric Schrader hey I have always had the trouble during my single installer scripts before it starts Word Automation , Excel Services Installation.

I now create all my service applications separably under one script which forces me to open a new session of PowerShell and also reload the SharePoint Cmndlets once more...

just add this add this at he begining of all your sharepoint scripts Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue

Also if you SharePoint Management Shell you could probably avoid this error completely as well.

Cheers

and many thanks for your comments

If your internet router / firewall supports vlans, then use this to seperate the two networks. Change the single esxi nic into a trunk port. Otherwise a nice solution to a tricky problem.

I couldn't access my outlook folders offline. I tried the above procedure but I couldn't click into the "manage offline files" option. When I clicked on it, it doesn't have any response. This is really frustrating, please help

also, simply editing snmp.xml on esxi is probably a lot easier than scping it back and forth :)

Re: Enabling SSH and SNMP on your ESXI 4, Vsphere

Matt Ghali — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:25:50 -0000

you don't need to restart all services, at least in esxi 4.1. all you need to run is:
/etc/init.d/hostd restart

Thanks, worked like a charm!

instead of rebooting the host, you will run "services.sh restart" (ssh root@esx4.1.host).
after this, you need to reconnect that host to your central management server.

I have had nothing but issue with the 4.3 converter. I do about 5 to 10 conversions a week and it fails 60 to 75% of the time. I have since gone back to using the 4.0.1 client which is much more stable.

With the release of SQL Server 2008 R2, by default the ConfigurationFile.ini is not created when installing the Express version. Check out this blog entry for a solution on how to get the installer to generate the ConfigurationFile.ini:

Re: Xobni for Outlook 2010

Jmus — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:21:06 -0000

I think if you are a private user with normal mail traffic the new outlook 2010 search is quite good! It is more difficult if you get tons of mails everyday, I get a lot mainly for business reasons!But for that I use another tool, I don't know if you heard of it before: Lookeen (http://www.lookeen.net)! For business this tool is really nice because it can search public folders, GPOs, works perfect with exchange! It is shareware, but the price is ok!

**minor correction**

to execute the script as posted you will need to be in the datastore1 directory:
cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

then you can type out:
./<filename>.sh

OR

If you use "/etc/tmp" instead of just "tmp" you could execute the script from initial prompt:
cat /etc/inetd.conf | sed 's/#ssh/ssh/g' > /etc/tmp && mv /ect/tmp /etc/inetd.conf</filename>
