&#60;p&#62;The zip format is the standard for file compression, however many power user and system admin types prefer to use the 7z format because it offers significantly better compression ratios. So to get the best of both worlds, we have created a script which will convert your zip files into 7z files with a single command, a process we are calling “deep archiving”. Not sure what we're talking about? &#60;a href='http://sysadmingeek.com/articles/easily-convert-all-your-zip-archives-to-7z-archives/'&#62;Read the original article&#60;/a&#62;, and then come back here to discuss.

<description>&#60;p&#62;It shouldn't. I have used this exact methodology on Server 2008 based VM's as well.&#60;br /&#62;
Is the drive you are trying to expand dynamic? If so, this probably would not work...

<description>Replying to <a href='http://sysadmingeek.com/forums/profile/lery'>Lery</a>:<br /><br />&#60;p&#62;Replace domain.com with the domain you want to track. For example, this site would use the file name &#34;awstats.sysadmingeek.com.conf&#34;. This way, to view the stats (using localhost), the URL would be: &#60;a href=&#34;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=sysadmingeek.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=sysadmingeek.com&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
In a nutshell, whatever you have between &#34;awstats.&#34; and &#34;.conf&#34; is what you would put for the config parameter in the URL.&#60;br /&#62;
i.e. &#34;awstats.mysite.conf&#34; would use URL &#60;a href=&#34;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Regarding the 404, this sounds like an IIS/perl configuration issue. Even if you try to access a config file which does not exist (&#60;a href=&#34;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=doesnotexist.com)&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=doesnotexist.com)&#60;/a&#62;, you should see an error message generated by AWStats, not an IIS error.

<description>Replying to <a href='http://sysadmingeek.com/forums/profile/aelana'>aelana</a>:<br /><br />&#60;p&#62;Actually, opening the minimized window is by design. I added it in case you wanted to add extra tools. That is the beauty of batch scripts though, you can very easily customize them to fit your needs.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The reason I don't use WSCC is it will not close open applications. I always have several utilities running in the background and the script will detect, close and then relaunch these for me automatically.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Note you can get the same effect you are looking for with the&#60;br /&#62;
START /MIN %LiveShare%&#60;br /&#62;
by doing&#60;br /&#62;
NET USE %LiveShare% &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;and without the extra minimized window.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also this: &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.kls-soft.com/wscc/index.php&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.kls-soft.com/wscc/index.php&#60;/a&#62; handles both sysinternals and nirsoft tools and gives a nice little catagorized launcher with descriptions for those times when you forget which tool is which or what the name of that tool was :)

&#60;p&#62;The most important part of a SQL Server maintenance plan is backing up your databases regularly, and even though Windows isn't as command-line friendly as Linux, you can still trigger a database backup from the command line. Not sure what we're talking about? &#60;a href='http://sysadmingeek.com/articles/backup-your-sql-server-database-from-the-command-line/'&#62;Read the original article&#60;/a&#62;, and then come back here to discuss.

&#60;p&#62;Yesterday we showed you how to install PHP on IIS for Windows Server 2003, and today we'll walk through the same process for Windows Server 2008, which is similar but a little different.

&#60;p&#62;While the Microsoft Sysinternals tools are incredibly powerful and useful, the one feature they lack is the ability to check for new versions. Here's a batch script to automatically update them.

<description>&#60;p&#62;This is exactly what I have been looking for!  Unfortunately, I am having a heck of a time getting it to work, and hopefully you can provide some assistance?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I followed your guide step by step:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Installed Perl (Strawberry Perl specifically)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm running Windows Server 2003, so I have IIS 6.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I configured IIS logging as described.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I set up the appropriate directories for AWStats &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;When you say &#34;copy the “awstats.model.conf” file to a file named “awstats.domain.com.conf” &#34; do you really mean to name the file awstats.domain.com.conf or do you mean domain.com = the domain the server is joined to?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In the guide you say in the awstats.domain.com.conf file to set: &#34;SiteDomain=”domain.com”  Once again do you really mean domain.com or the domain the machine is joined to?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In the guide you say to edit the awstats.domain.com.conf file and set the line:  HostAliases=”www.domain.com 11.22.33.44″ (any other URL’s which point to your site)&#34;  So what I did was make HostAliases=&#34;www.domain.com 192.168.1.10&#34;  again the same domain.com question.  The IP address I used is that of the server.  Most of the post messages in the IIS logs are from the incoming IP address to the servers IP adddress.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;When I go to:  &#60;a href=&#34;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=domain.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=domain.com&#60;/a&#62; I was getting 401 access issues. I gave everyone access to awstats.pl and now I just get 404's.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Any help would be appreciated.
