• Busiest Day: July 13th 2011 – 599 unique views
• Busiest Month: May 2011 – 10.788 unique views

RSA Authentication manager 7.1 has a nasty bug in it that I ran into recently. When running RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 on Windows it creates 1 or 2 .sql file every minute containing SQL Statements. They build up very quickly and are not removed by RSA by default. In time this could lead into serious issues like i.e. one or more of the RSA services might not be able to (re)start anymore!

workarround until that time:
Short term solution:

· reboot the machine in safe mode

· rename the c:\windows\temp to c:\windows\temp_old

· create a fresh new c:\windows\temp

· reboot in normal mode

Long term solution:

· create a standard plain text cmd file named, for example, ‘cleanup.cmd’, and add to it the following lines: del c:/windows/temp/dbmgmt*.sql

· save the file

· launch windows scheduler and have the cmd file run once a day

You might also decide to apply 7.1 SP4. In SP4 the bug is Solved.

A college of me Alexander Carlucci has decide to go blogging .

Very Handy

Yesterday I did 70-659 exam Windows Server 2008 R2, Server Virtualization and passed it with 825 points . I’m very pleased with this result.

The following versions of Exchange are supported to run on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (the RTM version of SP1):

• Exchange 2010 SP1
• Exchange 2010 RTM
• Exchange 2007 SP3

Please note that Exchange 2007 was not supported to run on Windows 2008 R2 at all before Exchange 2007 SP3 release.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 includes the hotfixes required to install Exchange 2010 SP1 (listed in Exchange 2010 SP1 FAQ and Known Issues — 979744, 983440, 979099, 982867 and 977020). If you’re installing Exchange 2010 SP1 on a server running Windows 2008 R2 SP1, you don’t need to install these hotfixes separately
