Performance Issues on Windows Server 2003

Symptoms    : Windows 2003 Server is frequently hanging and is dead slow when while you work on it. Also the following event is appearing repeatedly on it.

Event Type        : Error

Event Source    : DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID             : 10010
Description       : The server {BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E} did not register with

                              DCOM within the required timeout.

Solution     It appears as some MS patch might have changed the permissions on the following

                     registry key.
                     In order to resolve the problem, kindly verify the permissions and add the following
                     permissions if they are not aligned.

                        Registry Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID (and all child keys and values)

                   

                       

                          Permissions Added:  Authenticated users      : Read access 
                                                               Network Service             : Full control

Warning: The Windows registry is a mysterious place but if you're not comfortable editing it,
make sure to make a backup of your registry before you start tweaking.

The Green Footprints of Virtualization

Green IT refers to an attempt to reduce the impact of IT operations on the environment.

Green IT starts with manufacturers producing environmentally friendly products and encouraging IT departments to consider more friendly options like virtualization, power management and proper recycling habits. Green IT projects may have other benefits also however they are generally geared towards showing considerable enhancement in energy efficiency.

 

Virtualization can be a wonderful ally in our efforts to implement Green IT. Servers use energy and give off heat irrespective whether 100 % or 15% utilized. Virtualization is a technology designed to enable multiple application work-loads each having an independent computing environment to run on a single machine. This eliminates the approach of dedicating a single workload to a single server a practice that yields low utilization rates and allows virtualized servers to function near maximum capacity. 

With virtualization, you can consolidate the workloads currently running on a multiple underutilized servers onto fewer, more efficient servers and begin to realize possible savings and efficiencies that have been difficult to achieve previously. When virtualization is coupled with the green design of new server and storage hardware, offers an effective solution for keeping operational costs and energy demands in check.
