Exchange 2007 Event 1021 Source MSExchangeFDS

Log Name:      Application
Source:        MSExchangeFDS
Date:          3/5/2012 5:00:40 AM
Event ID:      1021
Task Category: (1)
Level:         Warning
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      YourClientAccessServer.YourDomain.net
Description:
  Process MSExchangeFDS.exe (PID=1656). Could not find directory \\YourClusterMailboxServer\ExchangeOAB\76d5f79d-4713-4f46-a7a9-7a187400e2bd. This is normal if the directory has never been generated. Otherwise, make sure this directory and share has read permission for the "Exchange Servers" group.

Symptom
This is likely to be accompanied by Warning 9395 and Error 9334 both Source MSExchangeSA.  I began seeing this just after the mailbox cluster had been moved to another node to install Windows Updates.

Solution
The solution to all three events is to update the EnableOabGenOnThisNode registry setting for both nodes.

See my previous post for further explanation (http://itprostuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/exchange-2007-ccr-offline-address-book.html).

Cisco Switch Interface Ranges

When completing tasks on Cisco switches, such as the configuration of VLANs or phone QoS, the use of interface ranges can save you a lot of time.

There are a couple of ways to use interface ranges.

1. At a global configuration prompt, use the interface range command with a list of ports to include.  Use commas and or hypens to list or specify contiguous ports.
   
   Example: Switch(config)#interface range fa0/1, fa0/5, fa0/7 - 12, fa0/17
   
   following that command, any switchport commands you run will apply to all ports listed.
2. Another way is to define an interface group macro.  First you use define interface-range macro-name interfaces.
   
   Example: Switch(config)#define interface-range PhonePorts fa0/1,fa0/5,fa0/7 - 12,fa0/17
   
   
   then run the macro to begin editing settings for that group of ports
   
   Example: Switch(config)#interface range macro PhonePorts
