Has anyone ever come across this. I have experienced this on 2 different setups. 1) ESX 2) Hyper V I install Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 on either a VM or a Hyper V. When I reboot the Exchange server the CPU tops out at 100% for a good 15 minutes before things load up. Does anyone have an explanation as to why the Microsoft Exchange 2013 in a virtual environment takes so long to boot up? I've looked at all kinds of configuration settings and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. What I find weird is these were both migration installations. In both instances when the Legacy Exchange server was online rebooting the Microsoft Exchange 2013 server had no issues at all. It would boot up in a normal fashion. The minute I decommissioned the Legacy servers the 2013 server takes forever to open up. Any ideas? Anyone ever see this?

Anyone have anything on this?

Hello, I am currently looking for a software that can monitor a users activity. I have heard that such a software exists that you can install on the server and it can verify what the user is doing. Is this true? What I need to know is if the user saves / deletes / modifies / sends out emails / basically everything the user does / log on times. Is there any program that I can install (or purchase) that can do this? Thanks!

Hello guys I am facing an extremely serious issue here. 2 night ago I rebooted my server and it installed updates. Once rebooted the next morning users were saying email wasn't working. So I looked around and found that my OWA was no longer pointing to SBS Web Applications but rather Default Web Site. After tinkering with my IIS I noticed that whatever the updates did broke more than just IIS. I was no longer able to access any of my Exchange features. After many unsuccessful tries to upgrade the Exchange to SP3 my Exchange server is now broken. So I was left with no option but to uninstall the Exchange portion of SBS2008. Exchange is no longer detected on my DC but here is the issue I am facing. When rebooting this VM it takes over 1 hour to reboot (don't ask why I don't know what happened, it just all of a sudden became very slow) When I try to install Exchange with Setup.exe the setup window pops up but does not respond. When I run setup.com /m:install /roles:h,c,m,t /organizationgroup:"first organization group" It starts the setup but returns an error saying that IIS is not available or not installed. When I try to start IIS I get an error telling me that the service stopped correctly but was not able to restart. I cannot go to services.msc because the machine just freezes. I have been looking for something to perhaps uninstall the IIS role and reinstall it via the Powershell but I can't find anything. I tried Remove-WindowsFeature iis it tells me the command is not found. I am in desperate need of some assistance I don't know what to do anymore. Reinstalling the server is not an option I need to be able to get Exchange back up and running on this server, IIS seems to be blocking me. Does anyone have any insight

Unfortunately, this does not work anymore since Windows 7. I haven't seen the Apply to All folders button enabled since Windows 7 unless I'm doing something wrong

Hello I have a question I can't seem to figure out where I have to go to change the default icon view / size for all folders in Windows 8.1 By default everytime I create a new folder it will display everything in the List view. Unfortunately, having the list view prevents me from seeing thumbnails when I have pictures as they have to be in the Medium setting to show the pictures. I can't figure out where I have to go to change the view for all folders. I remember in previous Windows I would go to folder options and then there would be the box that said "apply to all folders" Since Windows 7 though this option is gone, however, in Windows 7 I never had the issue of folders being created in List view. Is there a registry tweak or anything that I can use or somewhere I can go to change this? Thanks!

Figured it out we can close this sorry

Hello I'd like to install something (or enable something) in Windows SBS2011 to log what users are doing on the server. Like what is being installed who is logging in what they are doing. I know that in Server 2012 there is something called user access logging but I can't seem to find something similar in SBS2011? Does anyone know of anything that I can install to view what is going on within the machine? P.S. To be a little clearer, there are a few people who have access to the server and I'd like to know what they are doing when they go on it. Thanks!
