skhairudin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:46:00 GMT

Last few days back one of my customer had an electricity breakdown due to which all of the servers located in the data center got restarted. The data center included Domain Controller and an Additional Domain Controller with Exchange 2003 Installed on it with Active Directory integrated DNS. Upon restarting the Exchange Server he checked the event viewer to see if there are any issues persisting and found lot of error messages as shown below.

Initially I thought there is a problem from IIS as the error indicated ActiveSync so we restarted the IIS and checked the same problem existed, then I started checking the KB articles in case If there is one and found

But did not Helped me. After searching a lot I came to know that DNS service should be restarted.

Resolution: Restart the dns service.

Windows Updates Classifications

skhairudin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:56:00 GMT

I have seen lot of times people asking me different questions about the windows updates. like.

"We have one domain controller 2008 and there are lot of updates which update i should install"

I would say you should first know the Classification of updates so that you can decide which update has to be downloaded and installed which is suitable for your Server. Lets see the classification and understand how Microsoft Updates are classified.

Critical Update
Definition: A critical update is a broadly released fix for a specific problem that addresses a critical, non-security-related bug.

Cumulative update (CU)
Definition: A CU is a roll-up update that contains all previous critical on-demand hotfixes to date. Additionally, a CU contains fixes for issues that meet the hotfix acceptance criteria. These criteria may include the availability of a workaround, the effect on the customer, the reproducibility of the problem, the complexity of the code that must be changed, or other reasons.

Hotfix
Definition: A hotfix is a single, cumulative package that includes one or more files that are used to address a problem in a product and are cumulative at the binary and file level. A hotfix addresses a specific customer situation and may not be distributed outside the customer's organization.

Security Update
Definition: A security update is a widely released fix for a product-specific, security-related vulnerability. Security vulnerabilities are rated based on their severity. The severity rating is indicated in the Microsoft security bulletin as critical, important, moderate, or low.

Service Pack
Definition: A service pack is a tested, cumulative set of all hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates. Service packs may also contain additional fixes for problems that are found internally since the release of the product and a limited number of customer-requested design changes or features.

Software Update
Definition: A software update is any update, update rollup, service pack, feature pack, critical update, security update, or hotfix that is used to improve or to fix a software product that is released by Microsoft Corporation.

Update
Definition: An update is a widely released fix for a specific problem. An update addresses a noncritical, non-security-related bug.

Update Rollup
Definition: An update rollup is a tested, cumulative set of hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates that are packaged together for easy deployment. A rollup generally targets a specific area, such as security, or a component of a product, such as Internet Information Services (IIS).
