Shrink a Database Using SQL Server Management Studio
by  SharePoint2010 Administrator  on 4/14/2012 2:59 PM
Category: Technical; How To

I found that I could shrink a database:

http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ms189035.aspx

 

To shrink a database

  1. In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
  2. Expand Databases, and then right-click the database that you want to shrink.
  3. Point to Tasks, point to Shrink, and then click Database.
    Database
    Displays the name of the selected database.
    Current allocated space
    Displays the total used and unused space for the selected database.
    Available free space
    Displays the sum of free space in the log and data files of the selected database.
    Reorganize files before releasing unused space
    Selecting this option is equivalent to executing DBCC SHRINKDATABASE specifying a target percent option. Clearing this option is equivalent to executing DBCC SHRINKDATABASE with TRUNCATEONLY option. By default, this option is not selected when the dialog is opened. If this option is selected, the user must specify a target percent option.
    Maximum free space in files after shrinking
    Enter the maximum percentage of free space to be left in the database files after the database has been shrunk. Permissible values are between 0 and 99.
  4. Click OK.

How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server

How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220874

 

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 for Automatic Private IP Addressing. As a result, APIPA provides an address that is guaranteed not to conflict with routable addresses.
​

 

 

I wanted to get an IP address that wasn't at risk of being used and I knew that when Microsoft couldn't find a DCHP server, that it started with 169... something.

Find How Long Server has been running.
by  SharePoint2010 Administrator  on 3/31/2012 1:57 PM
Category: How To

If you ever have wondered how long a server has been running or how long it's uptime is, go to Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, and

See in Event Viewer - System that yo have 6013

Uptime list

​

The Properties of 6013 shows the time, but in seconds.  I don't know what that is, but there is a site that can help you.

uptime in seconds

I found that if you put in the time, in seconds, here 360609 seconds you'll see that it's about 4 days, which is right.
