MySQL Workbench

The official MySQL Workbench is a free integrated environment developed by MySQL AB, that enables users to graphically administer MySQL databases and visually design database structure. MySQL Workbench replaces the previous package of software, MySQL GUI Tools. Similar to other third-party packages but still considered the authoritative MySQL frontend, MySQL Workbench lets users manage the following:

* Database design & modeling
* SQL development — replacing MySQL Query Browser
* Database administration — replacing MySQL Administrator

MySQL Workbench is available in two editions, the regular free and open source Community Edition which may be downloaded from the MySQL website, and the proprietary Standard Edition which extends and improves the feature set of the Community Edition.

Failover clustering in Windows 2008 Server

Failover clustering is a technique used in Windows Server 2008 environment to provide high availability of applications. The cluster used in failover clustering works with shared data that can be spread across multiple systems. Failover clustering is managed through the Failover Cluster Management interface in Windows Server 2008. The Failover clustering feature is available only in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter editions.

In a failover clustering, there are two computers (for exmple). One provides the service in normal situations. A second computer is present in order to run the service when the primary system fails and this computer is called failover computer. The primary system is monitored to ensure that the primary system is operating correctly. As soon as the active system fails, the monitoring system detects the failure and the failover system takes over operation of the service.

The Global catalog in Active-Directory

The global catalog is built automatically by the Active Directory replication system. All directory partitions on a Global Catalog server, whether full or partial partitions, are stored in a single directory database (NTDS.DIT) on the same server.

When a new domain is added to the forest, the information about the new domain is stored in the configuration directory partition. This directory partition reaches the Global Catalog server (and all domain controllers) through the replication of forest-wide information.

Note: When a new Global Catalog server is designated, this information is also stored in the configuration directory partition and replicated to all domain controllers in the forest

The Easiest Microsoft exam: 70-683: Windows 7 Preinstalling for OEMs

Hello Friends,

I recently passed my 70-683 exam (Windows 7: Preinstalling for OEMs). I found this exam easiest of all Microsoft exams. Microsoft has specified very few objectives for the 70-683 exam.

The exam is all about deploying Windows 7 for OEMs. An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under that purchasing company’s brand name.

Microsoft’s 70-683 test validates your skills and knowledge to efficiently use the Microsoft OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) and imaging tools to deploy and maintain Windows 7 desktops and additional tools. There are no specific prerequisites for the test 70-683.

In the earlier days of this exam, there were no specific study metarial on the Internet. But today you can get loads of study metarials for preparing for this exam.

I prepared for the 70-683 exam with the help of practice tests and study metarials provided by uCertify. I must say it helped me a lot for the preparation. You can visit to have a fail deal for the test 70-683.

Passing the 70-683 exam gives you an MCTS certificate. Before taking the 70-683 exam you must know the basics of Windows 7 deployment including various tools such as DISM, Windows SIM, ImageX, Oscdimg, Windows PE, etc. The 70-683 exam mostly moves arround these tools.
