From Server B to Server B net use locally and Server B to Server C (Same Subnet)
error 53

Since those new Server are domain member server, it is using DNS/WINS service for network resource resolution. And also, user account "user" which is a local account, we need to use <server name>\user for connection.

Printing slow on old machine after Printer server have been migrate to Windows Server 2008 R2

The printing slow on old machine after Printer server have been migrate to Windows Server 2008 R2, it is because those machine is not fast enough to do the render print job. In previously, all the print job rendering will be handle by Print server. Start from Windows Server 2008, all the print job rendering will be handle by default for client. It is because it will helping to reduce the workload on the print service (printer spool) on the server. It is helping to prevent the service overload, and then this service down, all user cannot print.

The workaround solution is disable the print job rendering on the client side:

Different between remove mirror and break the mirror in Windows Server 2008 R2

(For your reference only, I only try in a VM one time to do the “remove mirror” and “break mirror”).

Remove mirror will also remove all the data on the designated mirror disk. (Disk A will keep current data, but Disk B will remove all the data and volume)

Break mirror will stop the mirroring of the volume, but it will keep the data in both disk. (Disk A and Disk B which creates two separate and independent volumes containing identical data)

Please do not try the “Remove mirror” or “Break mirror” in your production system unless you have full data backup and well prepare disaster recovery of your system. (Take your own risk)
