The following is the list of short terms I have noted while I have been studying for MCITP

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS)

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is an information protection technology that works with AD RMS-enabled applications to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized use. Content owners can define who can open, modify, print, forward, or take other actions with the information.You can only deploy the AD RMS on a member server in the domain and not on Domain controllers

Wbadmin

Build-in backup tool in window 2008. Same as NTbackup in window 2003

ADSI Edit

ADSI Edit is a snap-in that runs in a Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

Active Directory Federation Services

AD FS is a standards-based service that allows the secure sharing of identity information between trusted business partners (known as a federation) across an extranet. When a user needs to access a Web application from one of its federation partners, the user’s own organization is responsible for authenticating the user and providing identity information in the form of “claims” to the partner that hosts the Web application. The hosting partner uses its trust policy to map the incoming claims to claims that are understood by its Web application, which uses the claims to make authorization decisions.

Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

The Active Directory® Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) server role is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service. It provides data storage and retrieval for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies that are required for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

Ntdsutil.exe is a command-line tool that provides management facilities for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).Ntdsutil.exe is built into Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Scenario: Tape drive went offline when the job runs. Job status is ‘Queue’ on the job monitor window. When open the job log, the status shows ‘Server Paused’

Resolution: Go to removable storage service and disable it.

Go to devices-> select the device -> disable it , then delete it.

Shut down server. Shut down tape loader. Bring up Tape loader. Bring up server. All have to be done in sequence.

This works for me. I have two similar set up and one is working fine but another one have issue. I still don’t have idea of what it is.

There is another solution it may help if this doesn’t work. Just go to devices-> paused the server name-> then unpaused it.

It works.This is known issue of symantec backup exec but no fix can be found as I know of.

In the early days,  creating website is not very easy for non technical personnel.  Not only required to know the tools to create the website and also need to know web designing, webhosting and domain.
