whitepaper Physical to Physical Migration From IBM HS20 Blade to IBM HS21-XM Blade With Windows 2003 Operating System2008-02-13 IBM
  This paper details the procedure to perform physical to physical image migration based on Windows 2003 operating system from an HS20 (8843) 2-socket dual core blade to an IBM HS21-XM (extended memory) 2-socket quad core blade. The PlateSpin PowerConvert's Operating System (OS) portability technology is used for the migration. The operating system, applications, and data can be automatically migrated from a source machine to a target machine.

whitepaper Safe Termination of Orphan Processes on Windows NT Platforms2007-12-01 McAfee
  Rootkits are one of the greatest challenges to computer security. Due to the stealthy nature of rootkits, it is almost impossible for a user to see these hidden processes or files. In some situations, even security applications may not be able to detect the presence of rootkits. Rootkits use different methods to infect systems and hide their objects. Rootkit scanners use different methods to detect rootkits. One method is differentiation. This method takes a snapshot of the system's objects at a low-level layer (or even before the system boots, called preboot scanning); then it takes another snapshot at a very high-level layer and compares the differences.

whitepaper Windows Server 2008 Is 45 Times Faster Than Windows Server 20032007-11-22 Softpedia
  Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed Longhorn, is no leas than 45 times faster than its predecessor, Windows Server 2003, in terms of network transfer speeds. Now whatever the perspective is on Microsoft's last 32-bit server operating system, the fact of the matter is that faster transfer speeds for of up to 45 times is quite an evolution compared to Windows Server 2003. Back in June 2007, Microsoft commissioned a study to the Tolly Group focused on the networking performances of its latest Windows client and server operating system, which ended up as the "Enhanced Network Performance with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008" whitepaper. The paper pointed to the fact that both Vista and Windows Server 2008 managed to offer "Dramatic network performance benefits".

whitepaper Using WinReporter to Perform Security Audits on Windows Networks2007-01-04 IS Decisions
  WinReporter is the perfect tool to provide network administrators with an accurate picture of their infrastructure. WinReporter offers a set of 50 predefined reports that will help the network administrator in his audit and monitoring tasks: hardware upgrades, software updates and licensing, security checks, etc. WinReporter goes further and lets the network administrator drill down through all the information with specific queries. Even though WinReporter is a general purpose administration tool, its powerful capabilities allow the network administrator to conduct security specific tasks. The remainder of this paper, narrows their focus on the security capabilities of WinReporter.

whitepaper Windows Server 2003 POP3 Queue Overflow2006-12-01 01:00:18 IT-PROBLEMS.EU
  Recently, the authors ran into a situation where they would see queue overflows on a POP3 service hosted by Windows Server 2003. Another application would simply stop working if it connected to the POP3 server and it was told it would have to download more than 3000 messages. The resolution was to move all files into a temporary location and then slowly trickle them back into the queue. To achieve this, the authors created a little VBS file (VB-Script) that would take all the emails from the POP3 directory and place them into a temporary location. Then, it would trickle them back into the POP3 queue directory (2500 at a time) until the temporary directory was empty.   
whitepaper SCSI/SATA RAID Controller Replacement2006-12-01 01:00:18 IT-PROBLEMS.EU
  Have anyone run into a situation where the SCSI/SATA RAID controller stopped functioning and the only replacement is a different make or model? This paper shows how the authors recovered from this situation. They ran into this on a rather critical system since it was a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server running Microsoft Exchange 2003 and hosting a web site through IIS. Booting the system showed no controller in the POST messages and therefore no hard drives to boot from. The authors only reached certainty that the controller was the root of the problem when they put a new one into the system and attached the hot-plug drive cage to it. Immediately, they saw the boot process identify the drives and create a logical disk.   
whitepaper Catalog Criteria for Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition Systems With the Datacenter High Availability Program2006-12-20 01:00:25 Microsoft
  This paper provides the authoritative source for information about requirements for server systems that run the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition operating system and that are listed on the Windows Server Catalog published by Microsoft Corporation. The focus in this paper is exclusively on the hardware and test requirements for server systems running Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition to be part of the Datacenter High Availability Program.   
whitepaper Windows Networking Reworked for Enterprises2006-12-09 01:00:17 Directions on Microsoft
  Windows Vista and "Longhorn" Server both include substantial changes to their networking components, including complete redesigns of the TCP/IP and Server Message Block (SMB) protocol stacks, which should improve the performance, security, and management of Windows networking. Although most of the networking changes occur deep within the OS, Windows Vista includes significant changes to the user interface in an attempt to make it easier for users to find and manage networked resources. Microsoft will also make a small subset of the changes, such as hardware acceleration, available for Windows Server 2003, but these features may require new high-end networking hardware.   
whitepaper SWsoft Virtuozzo Windows Virtualization on HP ProLiant Blade Servers2006-07-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
