Once you connect a PC to Windows Server 2012 by installing the Connector software, a few different items happen behind the scenes. Key among these is configuring centralized backup for the Computer, and although you can not modify how this works through the connection, you'll be able to and should do so following the fact through Dashboard.

(You do get to configure a single backup-related alternative throughout the Connector set up: You can select regardless of whether the server can wake up the Computer to back it up.)

When a PC is connected, launch the Dashboard and navigate to Devices. Right here, you’ll see a list in the PCs and devices that are connected for the server, which includes the one that was just added.

Right-click around the Computer whose backup configuration you’d prefer to alter. Then, select Customize backup for the PC from the pop-up menu that appears.

Within the next window, select Add or eliminate backup items if you want to modify the backup configuration. Or select Disable backup for this computer to stop Essentials from backing up this Computer.

Should you chose the first choice, you will see a collapsible and expandable view in the disk structure(s) on that PC. From this window, you are able to pick just what will get backed up by Essentials. Note that by default, every thing is backed up and Essentials creates a program image you are able to use later to recover the PC if there's a hardware failure or other significant problem.

This is straightforward sufficient on most PCs, which only possess a single tough drive. But on my desktop PC, I have a 256 GB SSD drive and a 2 TB data disk. So I’ve opted to backup only components of the program.

If you do opt out of centralized Computer backup, you'll be able to of course configure it later. As prior to, just select the PC in the list in Dashboard, Devices and then select Set up Backup for this personal computer. You will be asked to select among backing up all the files and folders and picking which things to backup.

Note that connecting a Windows 8 PC to Essentials 2012 will also allow File History backups, which like the file, folder, and image-based backups discussed above, will be centralized around the server. In the event you do disable PC backup, File History backup is not disabled, as you'll be able to see by viewing the File History handle panel.

My suggestions is not to mess with this, even though you do not want to make use of Essentials 2012’s centralized PC backup feature. (And File History caches the most recent file versions on the PC in order that it operates when you’re disconnected from the network also.)

Introductions Semantic Search

Text mining is also becoming more and more popular. Everybody would like to understand data from blogs, Web sites, and social media. Microsoft SQL Server in versions 2012 and 2014 enhances full-text search support that was substantially available in previous editions. Semantic Search, a new component in Full-Text Search, can help you understand the meaning of documents.

The Semantic Language Statistics Database is a required component for the Statistical Semantic Search feature in Microsoft SQL Server 2014. Statistical Semantic Search provides deep insight into unstructured documents stored in SQL Server databases by extracting and indexing statistically relevant key phrases. Then it also uses these key phrases to identify and index documents that are similar or related.

For example, users can query the index of key phrases to build the taxonomy for an organization, or for a corpus of technical documents. Or for example in an HR scenario, a recruiter can query the document similarity index to identify resumes that match a job description. Semantic Search follows all of the Fulltext index population models to work seamlessly in the existing Fulltext scenarios.

Semantic Search Functions on SQL 2014 Hosting

Here are some search function on semantic that we have to use to our program because it’s can make maximized sql 2014 features.

•  semantickeyphrasetable (Transact-SQL)

Returns a table with zero, one, or more rows for those key phrases associated with columns in the specified table.

•  semanticsimilaritydetailstable (Transact-SQL)

Returns a table of zero, one, or more rows of key phrases common across two documents (a source document and a matched document) whose content is semantically similar.

•  semanticsimilaritytable (Transact-SQL)

Returns a table of zero, one, or more rows for those columns whose content is \semantically similar to a specified document.

How to install Semantic Search Functions on SQL 2014 Hosting

There are some steps that you must completely implemented before using semantic search

1. Install the semantic language statistics database.

Download the appropriate version of the Windows installer package named SemanticLanguageDatabase.msi. This file contains a compressed database file and log file.

Run the SemanticLanguageDatabase.msi Windows installer package to extract the database and log file. You should change the default destination directory to a location where SQL Server has necessary file permissions for attaching a database (SQL Server data folder for example). Optionally, you can move the extracted database file and log file to the preferred location in the file system.

2. Attach the semantic language statistics database.

Attach the database to the instance of SQL Server by using Management Studio or by calling CREATE DATABASE with the FOR ATTACH syntax. By default, the name of the database is semanticsdb. You can optionally give the database a different name when you attach it. You have to provide this name when you register the database in the following step:

CREATE DATABASE semanticsdb
ON (FILENAME = 'C:\Microsoft Semantic Language Database\semanticsdb.mdf')
FOR ATTACH;

Important

When the semantic language statistics database is extracted, restricted permissions are assigned to the database file and log file in the file system. As a result, the user may not have permission to attach the database. If an error is raised when you try to attach the database, check and fix file system permissions as appropriate.

3. Register the semantic language statistics database.

Call the stored procedure sp_fulltext_semantic_register_language_statistics_db and provide the name that you gave to the database when you attached it:

EXEC sp_fulltext_semantic_register_language_statistics_db @dbname = N'semanticsdb';
GO

What we think makes ASPHostPortal.com so compelling is how deeply integrated all the pieces are. We integrate and centralize everything--from the systems to the control panel software to the process of buying a domain name. For us, that means we can innovate literally everywhere. We've put the guys who develop the software and the admins who watch over the server right next to the 24-hour Fanatical Support team, so we all learn from each other.

Windows Server 2012 R2 brings a host of new features that greatly enhance the functionality of the operating system. Many of these improvements expand on existing capabilities of Windows Server 2012.  The new product also benefits from having the capability of performing at a much higher level than previous servers and comes equipped with an integrated virtualization platform.

In this article I will tell you about how to reset Windows Server 2012 R2 lost admin password. The answer is not absolute. For example, if you have password reset disk or another administrator available, Windows server 2012 r2 lost admin password would be reset instantly.
Or if you have backup Windows system status with disk, such as Windows system restore disc, you could restore Windows server 2012 r2 to early system point.
Even though there are not anything available for recovering server 2012 r2 password, Windows system 2012 r2 installation disk and third-party recovery tool would help you too.
First, Windows system installation disk reset Windows server 2012 r2 admin password.
Preparation: a copy of Windows server 2012 r2 installation disk
The key step of resetting server 2012 r2 admin password with installation disk is to replace Utilman.exe.

1. Boot off Windows disk and select the "Repair your computer" option from the lower left-hand corner.
2. Get to the option to open the Command Prompt.
3. Type the following commands to back up the utilman.exe file:
   MOVE C:WindowsSystem32Utilman.exe C:WindowsSystem32Utilman.exe.bak
4. Copy cmd.exe and rename it Utilman.exe.
   COPY C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe C:WindowsSystem32Utilman.exe
   Now you can go ahead and reboot your machine. When it's done booting up again and you are at the Logon screen click on the Ease of access icon.
   Now you have replaced Utilman.exe with cmd.exe.
5. Command Prompt opens, type following commands:
   .net user administrator *

Once you press Enter, you will be asked to set a new password and then confirm it. When entering new one, don't worry if you can't see it, because it is invisible, however it has been remembered.
Once you're logged in again, don't forget to delete Utilman.exe and then rename Utilman.exe.bak back to plain old Utilman.exe.
Second, reset server 2012 r2 admin password with third-party Windows password genius.
Windows Password Genius has four versions available, standard, professional, and advanced and raid. And the raid version is special, because it works for raid server Windows domain or local admin password reset. The advanced is general version, working on both server and client computers.
So choose appropriate Windows password recovery version to burn a password reset disk and then recover Windows server administrator password.
Preparation: Windows Password Genius Advanced/Raid, available computer and bootable USB drive.

1. Install Windows Password Genius Raid, and run it on available computer.
2. Insert bootable USB drive into this available computer and choose USB, click "Begin burning" to create password reset disk with USB.
3. Exit USB device after it is successfully burned with password reset disk.
4. Plug USB into server 2012 r2 and boot server from USB.
5. Recovery tool program runs, and then choose Windows system - Windows serve 2012 r2, and select user account - administrator.
6. Click "Reset Password", the administrator would be set with new password "iSunshare@2012".
7. At last, reboot server computer to finish Windows password reset. But remember to exit USB reset disk from server before your server computer boots from hard disk successfully.

In this article I will explain about Simple WebSocket Application. In order to a create a working application, you also need a server side implementation. It’s possible to use technologies like node.js, Java, .NET, Ruby, or C++ to create server side implementation. This section will show you how to create a simple application using WebSockets.

The sample application will allow the user to ask specific questions to server. The server side implementation is done using the Java jWebSocket framework on Windows 7. So, to get the environment set up follow these simple steps. I assume you have already installed the latest JDK (JDK 7)on your Windows 7 PC.

Step 1

Head over to jWebSocket Downloads and download the first zip which is marked as server.

Step 2

Unzip the archive, and place it somewhere in your C:. Then, create a new environment variable named JWEBSOCKET_HOME, which references the root of your jWebSocket installation. This is the path to the jWebSocket-1.0 folder. Add the following JARs to your class path:

JWEBSOCKET_HOME/libs/jWebSocketServer-1.0.jar
JWEBSOCKET_HOME/libs/jWebSocketServerAPI-1.0.jar
JWEBSOCKET_HOME/libs/jWebSocketCommon-1.0.jar

Step 3

Create a new Java Source file and name it SocketListener.java. Add the following code to this file.

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import org.jwebsocket.factory.JWebSocketFactory;
import org.jwebsocket.server.TokenServer;
import org.jwebsocket.kit.WebSocketServerEvent;
import org.jwebsocket.api.WebSocketServerListener;
import org.jwebsocket.api.WebSocketPacket;
import org.jwebsocket.config.JWebSocketConfig;
import org.jwebsocket.instance.JWebSocketInstance;
class JWebSocketListener implements WebSocketServerListener
{
  public void processOpened(WebSocketServerEvent event)
  {
    System.out.println("Connection Opened");
  }
  public void processPacket(WebSocketServerEvent event, WebSocketPacket packet)
  {
    switch(packet.getString())
    {
      case "1":        packet.setString("My Name is jWebSocketServer");
        break;
      case "2":        packet.setString("Windows 7 64 Bit");
        break;
      case "3":        SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
        packet.setString(sdf.format(new Date()));
        break;
    }
    event.sendPacket(packet);
  }
  public void processClosed(WebSocketServerEvent event)
}
public class SocketListener
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
{
    JWebSocketFactory.printCopyrightToConsole();
    JWebSocketConfig.initForConsoleApp(new String[]{});
    JWebSocketFactory.start();
    TokenServer server = (TokenServer)JWebSocketFactory.getServer("ts0");
    if(server!=null) {      server.addListener(new JWebSocketListener());
    }
    while (JWebSocketInstance.getStatus() != JWebSocketInstance.SHUTTING_DOWN)
{
      try {
        Thread.sleep(250);
      }
      catch (InterruptedException e)
    }
  }
}

Explanation

The code implements the WebSocketServerListener interface. The interface declares the following three methods which should be implemented in our class, JWebSocketListener.

processOpened()
processPacket()
processClosed()

processOpened() is called once a connection is opened. An example use of this will be starting a thread that sends updates to client in regular intervals. Similarly, processClosed() is called when the connection closes so that you can perform any clean ups.

In our application, the major processing is done in processPacket(). This method is called whenever the browser sends a message to the server. It receives two objects, of types WebSocketServerEvent and WebSocketPacket. First, we use WebSocketPacket#getString() to read the message (which is a question asked by the client). Depending on the question the server sends an answer. The message to be sent is wrapped inside a WebSocketPacket using WebSocketPacket#setString(). Then, we call WebSocketServerEvent#sendPacket(), passing the packet as an argument. Next, we create a public class called SocketListener. This class starts a WebSocket implementation server and registers our custom listener to it.

Step 4

Compile SocketListener.java, and start your server using the command java SocketListener.

Step 5

Now that you have done the server side implementation, it’s time to create the client that will interact with the server. The following is our initial HTML markup:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>WebSocket Test</title>
    <style>      #response
{
        width: 200px;
        background: #F2F2F2;
        padding: 120px 0px 120px 0px;
        font-size:18px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div align="center">
      Choose a question to ask:
      <select id="question" name="question" onchange="sendMessage(this.value);">
        <option value="1">What's Your Name</option>
        <option value="2">Which OS You Are Running On?</option>
        <option value="3">What Time Is It?</option>
      </select>
      <br/>
      <br/>
      <div id="response">
        My Name is jWebSocketServer
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
Now, add the following JavaScript to the HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
var connection = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8787', 'json');
connection.onopen = function ()
{
  console.log('Connection Opened');};connection.onerror = function (error)
{
  console.log('WebSocket Error ' + error);};
connection.onmessage = function (e) {
  if(e.data.indexOf("subProtocol")==-1)    document.getElementById("response").innerHTML=e.data+"<br/>";};
function sendMessage(msg){  connection.send(msg);}
</script>

Explanation

We created an HTML file that allows users to choose questions from a drop down menu. When an onchange event fires, we take the value of the selected item and send that value to the server. The server then processes the request and sends back an answer to the browser. When the message from the server is received, the onmessage callback is executed, which shows the response in the response <div>. The line if(e.data.indexOf("subProtocol")==-1) is not mandatory. I have included it because initially when the connection is opened, the server sends a long string containing information to the browser. As we don’t want to show this string, I have included the above condition.

When installing Windows Server 2012, it matters if you have the retail version of Windows Server 2012 setup media or the volume license version. The retail version of Windows Server 2012 requires a product key to proceed. The volume license edition does not require a product key at installation time.

There are a few new features available in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, the most interesting are:

• Hyper-V Virtual Machine (VM) Replication, a new disaster recover (DR) mechanism for VMs.
• Virtual SAN Manager and the ability to deploy virtual fiber channel adapters to VMs.
• New virtual hard drive (VHD) format ".vhdx" offers superior performance, capacity, and reliability over Hyper-V VHDs in Windows Server 2008.
• Ability to Live Migrate VMs between hosts that are not in a cluster and have no shared storage.

Once you have verified and you are sure that the target computer system has all the prerequisites in place, and it meets the minimum hardware requirements, here is how you can install the Hyper-V role on the Windows Server 2012 standalone computer or Active Directory domain controller:

1. Log on to the computer with the Administrator account (in case of standalone server) or Enterprise Admin or Domain Admin account (in case of Active Directory domain controller).
2. If not already started, initialize the Server Manager window by clicking its icon from the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. On the opened Server Manager window, from the top right corner, go to the Manage menu from the menu bar.
4. From the displayed list, click the Add Roles and Features option.
5. On the opened Add Roles and Features Wizard box, on the Before you begin window, click Next to proceed to the next step.
6. On the Select installation type window, make sure that the Role-based or feature-based installation radio button is selected.
7. Click Next to proceed to the next step.
8. On the Select destination server window, make sure that the Select a server from the server pool radio button is selected.
9. Also make sure that the target server (this server) is selected in the Server Pool list.
10. Click Next to continue.
11. On the Select server roles window, check the Hyper-V checkbox, and on the displayed box, click the Add Features button to add the additional features that are essential for the Hyper-V role.
12. Back on the Select server roles window, click Next to proceed.
13. On the Select features window, leave the default settings intact and click Next.
14. On the Hyper-V window, read the information carefully and click Next.
15. On the Create Virtual Switches window, check the checkbox representing the active Ethernet card in the Network adapters list.
16. Click Next to continue to the next step.
17. On the Virtual Machine Migration window, leave everything default for now and click Next.
18. On the Default Stores window, click the Browse button to change the default virtual hard disk and Hyper-V configuration files’ locations. (You can leave the default settings intact for the testing purposes, like it is in this demonstration.)
19. On the Confirm installation selections window, check the Restart the destination server automatically if required checkbox.
20. Finally click Install to begin the Hyper-V role installation process on the Windows Server 2012 server.
21. Once the installation process completes, and the system restarts, you can start creating the Hyper-V virtual machines on the server.

Note: It is important to store the virtual hard disk files to any location other than C:\ in order to prevent the system drive from getting overpopulated and over consumed, which may further result in decreased Windows Server 2012 performance.

In this article, i'm going to explain about how to enable SSL in osCommerce, you will first need to purchase an SSL certificate and Dedicated IP. This article assumes that you already purchase an SSL from SSL provider.

In order to configure osCommerce to work with SSL you should open the file public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php and make the following changes:

define(‘HTTP_SERVER’, ‘http://www.yourdomain.com’); // eg, http://localhost – should not be empty for productive servers
define(‘HTTPS_SERVER’, ‘https://yourdomain.com’); // eg, https://localhost – should not be empty for productive servers
define(‘ENABLE_SSL’, true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure
define(‘HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘www.yourdomain.com’);
define(‘HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘yourdomain.com’);
define(‘HTTP_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/catalog/’);
define(‘HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/catalog/’);
define(‘DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG’, ‘/catalog/’);
define(‘DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG’, ‘/catalog/’);

Similar to the above changes have to be made in the file public_html/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php which is responsible for the admin area configuration.

In the above example we are configuring an osCommerce installation in the catalog directory with domain yourdomain.com. You should adjust the above settings to your details.

If you are having problems to enable SSL on osCommerce site, contact your host for assistance. ASPHostPortal.com provides the best osCommerce hosting and such requests are handled with ease.

mojoPortal is another open source CMS option based upon the .NET framework. It has a very active developer group and is consistently being updated. While it is free to download and use, there are a number of commercial add-ons that are used to help fund the project. When it comes to developing your own applications, many people prefer mojoPortal because it can act as a starter kit for advanced .NET sites or portals.

mojoPortal is also considered to be very strong as a standalone CMS. It is easy to learn and very simple to use. It includes a variety of different tools such as blogs, photo galleries, chat, newsletters, pools, forums, and much more. It also has a very strong community which makes troubleshooting extremely simple.

Here is the tutorial how to recover password login on your mojoPortal site :

However, in order to use this feature you require login e-mail which you used either at the time of installation or while updating the site later on.

Sometimes, you will forget password but your login e-mail id will be the default provided by the installer – [email protected]

In such a scenario, you need to dig deep into the database to find out the password as mentioned below

1. Open SQL Server 2008 / 2012
2. You will view a dialog named – Connect to Server
3. Provide the database name, database username and password which you provided at the time of mojoportal installation process.
4. If you installed MojoPortal through Web App Gallery from within WebsitePanel then you need to search for “user.config” file from the file manager and fetch the required credentials.
5. If the provided credentials are correct then you will be logged into SQL Server. Locate your database from the navigation panel located on the left hand side.
6. Expand the database name, then Tables and locate the table name – dbo.mp_Users
7. Right click on the above mentioned table and select the option – Select Top 1000 Rows
8. SQL Server will display the list of entries under each column. By default, it will only show details of Admin user. However, you will view more entries if your site is bit old and users have registered on the site.
9. In order to view the password of admin user, you need to scroll horizontally until you see the column name – Pwd.

It is to be noted that MojoPortal displays passwords as such without any kind of encryption. Hence, you should use very strong password for the database, FTP and administrator user account.

Here is the tips to fix blank RDP screen on Windows Cointainer :
Description:
While logging into Administrator account through RDP on a server after a reboot, a blank screen or recycled svchost.exe property page is shown. Rebooting the server does not resolve the issue.

Cause:
This problem is caused by corruption of the Administrator account profile.

Solution:
On the hardware node run the following command from command prompt, in order to enter the container.

vzctl enter <Container_ID>
(Conatiner_ID can be obtained by running the vzlist –a command.)

Now you will get the C:\Windows\system32> prompt in the terminal, indicating that you have entered the container. In the C:\Windows\system32> prompt run the following commands, in order to create another account and make it a member of Administrators group on the container.

net user <username> <password> /add

net localgroup administrators <username> /add

Now RDP into the affected container, using this new username and password.

After you successfully login into the container, make sure from task manager that Administrator account is not logged into the container. If Administrator account is still logged into the container, then log off Administrator from Task Manager, running with elevated privilege.

Then copy all important files from C:\Users\Administrator folder to another folder for safekeeping and delete the C:\Users\Administrator folder.

Next login into the Administrator account. This account will use a temporary profile path due to absence of C:\Users\Administrator folder. Now create the C:\Users\Administrator folder again.
