The tool to be used is called Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool or just DISM for short.

1. Verify that the server is runnig Standard edition
# dsim /online /getcurrentedition

2. Next step is to set a temporary key provided by Microsoft: 489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y (back to activate on three days)

3. The next step is to list the available target editions
# dsim /online /gettargeteditions

4. The last step is to specify the target edition and add the product key
# dsim /online /set-edition:serverenterprise /productkey: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

5. Restart the server

The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Long-Term Support). Code-named ‘Precise Pangolin’, 12.04 continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing a few new features and improving quality control. For PC users, Ubuntu 12.04 supports laptops, desktops, and netbooks with a unified look and feel based on an updated version of the desktop shell called ‘Unity’, which introduces ‘Head-Up Display’ search capabilities.

Setting up Ubuntu

First off we need to set up the hostname and static IP.

Hostname

sudo nano /etc/hosts

It should look something similar to:

127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain        localhost
192.168.0.50 zimbra.logicspot.net         zimbra

Set static IP:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Change the desired information and save the file, example:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

Restart the service:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Installing dependencies

These are the packages we need, install them using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install libperl5.10 sysstat sqlite3 bind9

Get the BIND9 DNS up and running

sudo nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local

The file should look something like this:

[...]

     zone "logicspot.net" {
          type master;
          file "/etc/bind/db.logicspot.net";
     };

[...]

Next step is to configure the db.logicspot.net file, but lets first create it by copying the template from another file:

sudo cp /etc/bind/db.local /etc/bind/db.logicspot.net

The file should look something like this:

;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL    604800
@       IN        SOA     zimbra.logicspot.net. admin.logicspot.net. (
                                    2012031203; Serial
                                        604800; Refresh
                                         86400; Retry
                                       2419200; Expire
                                      604800 ); Negative Cache TTL
;
@       IN        NS      localhost.
@       IN        A       127.0.0.1
@       IN        AAAA    ::1
zimbra  IN        A       192.168.0.50
        IN        MX      10 zimbra

Remember to update the serialnr after every change, otherwise BIND will not understand that the file has been updated. A common Serialnr is YYYYMMDDNN.

If you need to add a forwarding server, edit named.conf.options:

sudo cp /etc/bind/named.conf.options

The file should look something like this:

[...]

forwarders {
192.168.0.1;
};

[...]

Restart BIND:

sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

Download Zimbra

Download the package using wget:

sudo wget http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/7.1.4_GA/zcs-7.1.4_GA_2555.UBUNTU10_64.20120105094803.tgz

Unpack:

tar xzvf zcs-7.1.4_GA_2555.UBUNTU10_64.20120105094803.tgz

Install Zimbra

sudo ./install.sh

The method is divided into two steps
1. Perform a search based on various criteria
2. Restore the items to the users mailbox or to a .PST file.

First off, we need to grant the ability to search mailboxes. By default there are no accounts that have these permissions – provide them carefully to a few selected staff/helpdesk members.
In this example we are granting Alex Westwood the Discovery Management permission:

Add-RoleGroupMember "Discovery Management" -Member awestwood

Perform the search
In this example we are searching Jack Smith’s mailbox for emails from Dana Cox with keyword Energy – and saves the information into a folder called Jack Smith Recovery in the Discover Search Mailbox mailbox:

Search-Mailbox "Jack Smith" -SearchQuery "from:'Dana Cox' AND Energy" -TargetMailbox "Discovery Search Mailbox" -TargetFolder "Jack Smith Recovery" -LogLevel Full

Restore the information
From here we could restore the mail to Jack Smith’s mailbox in a folder called Recovered Messages and delete the information from the Discovery Search Mailbox mailbox:

Search-Mailbox "Discovery Search Mailbox" -SearchQuery "from:'Dana Cox' AND Energy" -TargetMailbox "Jack Smith" -TargetFolder "Recovered Messages" -LogLevel Full -DeleteContent

…or export the data to a .PST file:

New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "Discovery Search Mailbox" -SourceRootFolder "Jack Smith Recovery" -ContentFilter {Subject -eq "Energy meeting"} -FilePath \\SERVER01\SHARE\JackSmithRecovery.pst

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS 5.8 for the i386 and x86_64 architectures. CentOS 5.8 is the eighth update to the CentOS 5 distribution series. It contains a lot of bug fixes, updates and new functionality. Known issues: as of CentOS 5.7 the installation kit is split into two DVDs; there is a MultiLib issue with dbus-1.1.2-16 (i386 and x86_64) – they can not be installed at the same time due to a conflict of the file /etc/dbus-1/system.conf; there is a known issue with the tg3 kernel driver using VLANs (802.1q) and at least one Broadcom chipset; there is a known issue with the smartmontools and the 2.6.18-308 kernel where ‘hard drives behind a SAS controller can get dropped’; there is a known issue with the latest nfs-utils in EL 5.8 where invalid warnings are given on NFS mounts for rpc.idmapd and/or rpc.gssd.

• Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
• Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device or higher
• To use touch, you need a tablet or monitor that supports multitouch
• To access Windows Store and to download and run apps, you need an active Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768
• To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768

First add a non-free repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free

Now update the packages and install the firmware:

apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-atheros

Plug in the dongle again (remove first if inserted) and the firmware should be loaded and you should see some wireless networks.

If this is not working, try:

modprobe -r ar9170usb

$domain = "Contoso"
$password = "Password12"

The error was related till NETBIOS lookup. The Exchange 2010 server could not find NETBIOS names.

To solve the issue:
1. Verify the connection to the legacy servers
2. Verify that no firewall is blocking the path
3. Verity NETBIOS lookup

I solved it by adding NETBIOS names to the hostfile on the Exchange 2010 server I was running the move-cmdlet from.
