<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri;">There is a small caveat to copying data in two phases. If someone changes only security information of a file/folder between phase 1 and phase 2, but not the content, that file/folder will be skipped during the copy process in phase 2, therefore the new NTFS permissions on the file will not be copied either.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: small;"></span></span><div style="color: black; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri;">The chances for someone to change only NTFS permissions on a file/folder between phase 1 and phase 2 might not be big, but they are certainly there. So if you know that might happen, you can use the /secfix option at phase 2 to copy NTFS permissions on files/folders, regardless of whether the file/folder has already been copied in phase 1 or not. The command you would use, is the final command in step 4 of this post.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">
A common request we hear is how to automatically connect specific network shares to drive letters based on group membership. Mapping network drives based on group membership requires some programming knowledge– either VBScript or command shell (batch files). VBScript based logon scripts can require hundreds of lines of code to provided a complete solution. And batch files require the assistance of helper applications such as IFMEMBER.EXE and NET.EXE, and introduce many challenges with controlling how Windows processes the script. But Group Policy Preferences removes the programming requirement and awkwardness of scripting mapped drives based on group membership. There are many scenarios in which you may want to map a local drive letter to a specific network share to include public drive mappings, inclusive group drive mappings, and exclusive group drive mappings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">
Public drive mappings typically do not require membership to a particular group. However, sometimes public drive mappings do not provide enough granularity. Most organizations have data specific to business units such as accounting, marketing, or human resources.. Inclusive Group Drive mappings solve this problem by allowing a configuration that maps a specific drive letter to a specific network share based on the user being a member of a particular group. This ensures members of the accounting unit receive drive letters mapped for accounting and members of human resources map their respective drives. Exclusive drive mappings are not very common; however, they do provide the flexibility to prevent a user from mapping a particular drive letter to a network share if they are <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">not</span> a member of a specific group. A good example of exclusive drive mappings is to prevent the CIO or other executives members from mapping a drive letter in which they are likely to never use. Let us take a closer look at these scenarios</div>

Producing a Group Policy Preference item to create public drive mappings is simple. The GPO containing the preference item is typically linked to higher containers in Active Directory, such as a the domain or a parent organizational unit.</div>

Newly created Group Policy objects apply to all authenticated users. The drive map preference items contained in the GPO inherits the scope of the GPO; leaving us to simply configure the preference item and link the GPO. We start by configuring the drive map preference item by choosing the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Action</span> of the item. Drive map actions include <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Create</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Replace</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Update</span>, and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Delete</span>. These are the actions commonly found in most preference items. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Create</span> and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Delete</span> actions are self-explanatory. The compelling difference between <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Replace</span> and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Update</span> is that <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Replace</span> deletes the mapped drive and then creates a new mapped drive with the configured settings. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Update</span> does <i style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: 'Segoe UI', SegoeUI, tahoma, sans-serif;">NOT</i> delete the mapped drive– it only modifies the mapped drive with the new settings. Group Policy Drive Maps use the drive letter to determine if a specific drive exists. The preceding image shows a Drive Map preference item configure with the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Replace</span> action. The configured location is a network share named data; hosted by a computer named hq-con-srv-01. The configured drive letter is the G drive. All other options are left at their defaults. This GPO is linked at the contoso.com domain.</div>

The results of this configuration are seen when using Windows Explorer on the client computer. The following picture shows a user’s view of Windows Explorer. We see there is one network location listed here, which is the G drive that is mapped to \\hq-con-srv-01\data.</div>

Inclusive drive mappings are drives mapped to a user who is a member of (or included) in a specific security group. The most common use for inclusive drive maps is to map remote data shares in common with a specific sub set of users, such as accounting, marketing , or human resources. Configuring an inclusively mapped drive is the same as a public drive mappings, but includes one additional step. The following image shows us configuring the first part of an inclusive drive mapping preference item.</div>

Configuring the first part of an inclusive drive mapping preference item does not make it inclusive; it does the work of mapping the drive. We must take advantage of item-level targeting to ensure the drive mapping items works only for users who are members of the group. We can configure item level targeting by clicking the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Targeting</span> button, which is located on the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Common</span> tab of the drive mapping item. The targeting editor provides over 20 different types of targeting items. We’re specifically using the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Security Group</span> targeting item.</div>

Using the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Browse</span> button allows us to pick a specific group in which to target the drive mapping preference item. Security Group targeting items accomplishes its targeting by comparing security identifiers of the specified group against the list of security identifiers with the security principal’s (user or computer) token. Therefore, <i style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: 'Segoe UI', SegoeUI, tahoma, sans-serif;">always</i> use the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Browse</span> button when selecting a group; typing the group name does not resolve the name to a security identifier.</div>

The preceding screen shows a properly configured, inclusive targeting item. A properly configured security group targeting item shows both<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Group</span> and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">SID</span> fields. The <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Group</span> field is strictly for administrative use (we humans recognize names better than numbers). The SID field is used by the client side extension to determine group membership. We can determine this is an inclusive targeting item because of the text that represents the item within the list. The word <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">is</span> in the text <i style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: 'Segoe UI', SegoeUI, tahoma, sans-serif;">“the user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\Management.”</i> Our new drive map item and the associated inclusive targeting item are now configured. We can now link the hosting Group Policy object to the domain with confidence that only members of the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Management</span> security group receive the drive mapping. We can see the result on a client. The following image shows manager Mike Nash’s desktop from a Windows Vista computer. We can see that Mike receives two drive mappings: the public drive mapping (G: drive) and the management drive mapping (M: drive).</div>

The last scenario discussed is exclusive drive mapping. Exclusive drive mappings produce the opposite results of an inclusive drive mapping; that is, the drive map does <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">NOT</span> occur if the user is a member of the specified group. This becomes usefully when you need to make exceptions to prevent specific drives from mapping. Let’s add an exclusive drive mapping to our public drive mapping to prevent specific members of management from receiving the public drive mapping.</div>

However, the targeting item applies only if the user <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">IS NOT</span> a member of the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">ExcludePublicDrives</span> group. We change this option using the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Items Options</span> list. The client view of manager Monica Brink shows the results of applying Group Policy.</div>

This client applies two Group Policy objects; each containing a drive mapping preference item. One item contains our public drive mapping with an exclusive security group targeting item. The other GPO contains the management drive mapping with an inclusive security group targeting item. The client processes the public drive mapping GPO; however, the exclusive targeting item verifies that Monica is a member of the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">ExcludePublicDrives</span> group. Monica is also a member of the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Management</span> group. Therefore, Monica’s group memberships prevent her from receiving the public drive mapping and include her in receiving the management drive mapping.</div>

Drive mapping preference items do not require any scripting knowledge and are easy to use. Leveraging targeting items with drive mapping items increases the power in which to manage drive mapping to users and computers. Public drive mappings are typically linked at higher levels in the domain and generally apply to a large subset (if not all) users. Inclusive drive mappings associate as specific subset of data with a specific group of people, often times mapping to logical divisions within an organization such as accounting, marketing, or human resources. Exclusive drive mappings invert the principals of inclusive drive mappings. The user must not be a member of the specified group for the drive mapping to occur.</div>

Be sure to link GPOs high enough in Active Directory so the scope of the drive mapping effects the largest group of user accounts. Obviously, not every GPO should be linked at the domain; however, if there is an accounting organizational unit with three child OUs– then linking at the Accounting OU effects that largest amount of users. Allow your inclusive and exclusive targeting item to do the bulk of your work. GPOs hosting inclusive drive mappings are best used when the number of user needing the drive mapping are fewer than the number who do not. Exclusive drive mappings are best used when the number of user not requiring the drive mapping are fewer than the number that do. These rules help prevent users from becoming members of too many groups and increasing the cost of managing drive mappings within the organization.</div>

To use boundaries for Configuration Manager operations, you must add them to boundary groups.***<br /><br />On the SCCM 2012 R2 console, under Administration, right click Boundaries and click Create Boundary…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/971.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/971.png?w=497&h=434" /></a><br /><br />96 – On the Create Boundary box, next to Type: verify that you choose Active Directory site and then click Browse…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/981.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/981.png?w=497&h=434" /></a><br /><br />97 – On the Browse Active Directory sites interface, click Default- First-Site-Name and then click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/991.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/991.png?w=497&h=433" /></a><br /><br />98 – On the Create Boundary interface, verify all the information and then click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/100.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/100.png?w=497&h=434" /></a><br /><br />99 – on the SCCM 2012 R2 console, right click Boundary Group and then click Create Boundary Group…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1011.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1011.png?w=497&h=436" /></a><br /><br />100 – On the Create Boundary Group interface, under General, type the name of the new Boundary (OSI Main Boundary) and then click Add…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1021.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1021.png?w=497&h=436" /></a><br /><br />101 – On the Add Boundaries interface, tick the Default- First-Site-Name and then click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1031.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1031.png?w=497&h=434" /></a><br /><br />102 – click References tab, under Site assignment click Use this boundary group for site assignment and click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1041.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1041.png?w=497&h=437" /></a><br /><br />103 – on the SCCM 2012 R2, click Discovery Methods and then on the right side click Active Directory System Discovery and the right click and click Properties…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1051.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1051.png?w=497&h=437" /></a><br /><br />104 – On the Active Directory System Discovery Properties interface, click Enable Active Directory System Discovery and then click star button…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1061.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1061.png?w=497&h=436" /></a><br /><br /> <br /><br />105 – On the Select New Container box, click Computers folder and then click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1071.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1071.png?w=497&h=434" /></a><br /><br />106 – on the Active Directory Container, verify the path and click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1081.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1081.png?w=497&h=435" /></a><br /><br />107 – click Options tab, and then click Only discover computers that have logged on to a domain in given period of time, in this demo i type 30 days, and then click OK…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1091.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1091.png?w=497&h=438" /></a><br /><br />108 – On the Configuration Manager interface, click Yes…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1101.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1101.png?w=497&h=437" /></a><br /><br />109 – On the SCCM 2012 R2 console, click Assets and Compliance, then click Devices, verify that all your client PC will listed under the devices name…<br /><br /><a href="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1115.png"><img src="https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/1115.png?w=497&h=438" /></a><br /><br />Orait, i’m done for now.. i will continue blogging about SCCM 2012 R2 in the future, still long way to go…</div>

<br /><br /><br />Today lets go through a step by step on how to installing & configuring WSUS in Windows Server 2012 R2.<br /><br /><br />But as usual, before we start, let me explain a little bit about WSUS (Windows Server Update Services).<br /><br /><b>What Is WSUS?</b><br /><br />WSUS is a server role included in the Windows Server 2012 R2 OS, and that downloads and distributes updates to Windows clients and servers.<br /><br />WSUS can obtain updates that are applicable to the OS and common Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft SQL Server.<br /><br />In the simplest configuration, a small organization can have a single WSUS server that downloads updates from Microsoft Update.<br /><br />The WSUS server then distributes the updates to computers that are configured to obtain automatic updates from the WSUS server. You must approve the updates before clients can download them.<br /><br /><b>For more info about WSUS, please browse to</b> <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb332157.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb332157.aspx</a>, and for those who will be joining my Win Svr 2012 R2 class this coming months, not to worries because WSUS will be available as our Hands-On Lab. :-)<br /><br />Orait, for those who following my blog, you should know know that I had my own small infrastructure built on Windows Server 2012 R2 and my client which is Windows 8.<br /><br />So for this WSUS demo, I will be using my Domain Server which is DC01.comsys.local and my client Surface01.comsys.local.<br /><br /><b>Before we start, please do understand that, all this implementation & configuration of this WSUS is happening in Hyper-V, and all my small infra is running fully virtualization, and since this WSUS is involve with internet connection, please do remind also that you need an internet connection attach to VM.</b><br /><br />Please make sure you Domain Server @ any Server that you want to install WSUS must have internet connection so that easy for you to stimulate the WSUS process, so that please attach 2nd Network Adapter to WSUS Server to be.<br /><br />If

At some point your system will crash and you need to perform a manual repair of your file system. A typical situation would be power loss while you are working on the system. You reboot and the system stops and indicates you must perform a manual repair of the system using fsck.<br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" />fsck (<i style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">file system consistency check</i>) is a command used to check filesystem for consistency errors and repair them on Linux filesystems. This tool is important for maintaining data integrity so should be run regularly, especially after an unforeseen reboot (<i style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">crash, power-outage</i>).<br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><b style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Usage</b>: fsck [-sACVRTNP] [-t fs-optlist] [filesystem] [fs-specific-options] <br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" />Filesystem can be either a device's name (e.g. /dev/hda) or its mount point. fsck run with no options will check all devices in /etc/fstab.

fsck will check the file system and ask which problems should be fixed or corrected.

In the previous two article we have learnt how to Backup and Restore Exchange Server 2013 database using Windows Server Backup. In this article we would be focusing on how to create Recovery Database (Aka RDB).</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It is very important to understand in what scenario RDB can be useful. Lets first understand the scenario.</div>
<ol style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A user has deleted some important emails and that needs to be recovered. Without restoring the data to production we would be creating RDB.</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Single Mailbox or the entire database needs to be restored. Etc.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Note :- In both the scenario the database has crossed the default retention limit.</strong></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

We will be using the same database which was restored. Before creating RDB we will first understand the database health.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Now since the database is restored we have to confirm if the data is clean shutdown. To do that we will be running ESEUTIL commands.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In figure 1.2 since the database was restored. It will be always be in “Dirty Shutdown”. We sill be performing soft recovery by running the below command.</div>

In this blog we will explore something new which has been introduced in Exchange Server 2013. Yes, that’s New Outlook Anywhere configuration changes introduced for Microsoft Outlook.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Exchange Server – Microsoft Exchange 2013</div>

In Previous versions of exchange so far we have seen all local clients are considered as <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“MAPI”</strong> clients. In Exchange Server 2013 by default local clients are <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“RPC/HTTP”</strong>. So you don’t need any extra configuration for setting up RPC/HTTP. The SSL Certificate used for Outlook Web APP and Active Sync can be used for Outlook Anywhere.</div>

In this blog we will be exploring some new feature introduced in Exchange Server 2013. Microsoft has introduced a new High Availability Feature “Automatic Reseed”. To simulate the scenario we have already created two member DAG.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

To understand the concept lets first explore the new DAG properties.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In figure 2 we can see some attributes as “AutoDag” with various options. The option available is the default option and there are some customization required to ensure that Automatic reseed works the way you expect.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Old Story – </strong>In Exchange Server 2010 if a disk fails then the entire database fails over from active node to passive node. And if the same happens in passive node then you might end up replacing the disk and start with either full reseed or manual reseed based on the database size.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">New Story -</strong> In Exchange Server 2013 we have Automatic Reseed. So lets have a look at it how to configure the Automatic Reseed feature.</div>
