網路效能測試工具-iperf

       Iperf是一個TCP/IP和UDP/IP的性能測量工具,能夠提供網絡吞吐量訊息,以及震動、封包丟失、最大段和最大傳輸單元大小等統計信息;從而能夠幫助我們測試網路性能,定位網路瓶頸.
perf 支援大多數的作業系統,如: Windows,Linux,FreeBSD,MACOSX,Solaris等等,使用上非常簡單,在你的網路環境中準備兩台電腦,各架設於兩端點間,如 core switch到RD switch之間,一邊設定為iperf server,另一邊設定成iperf client,這麼一來你就可以知道core switch與RD switch之間的throughput能達到多少.
運作方式:

1.隨意選擇結點A作為Server端,而B作為客戶端,在A上進入命令提示字元執行iperf -s,這樣iperf將以Server端方式啟動,並且通過TCP的5001port監聽.
2.接下來我們到B節點進入命令提示字元,然後執行iperf -c 192.168.0.199 -t 60,這個命令是將B節點以客戶端的方式運行,並且連接IP地址為192.168.0.199的服務端,監視測量數據時間是60秒.
3.執行完畢客戶端將自動開啟1903port連接服務端的5001port,通過發送與接收數據來實現測量頻寬的目的.
4.與此同時我們在Server端上也可以看到有客戶端連接5001port的提示,這表明兩個節點已經建立了相應的連接,數據通訊正常.
5.由於我們之前是設置了測量時間間隔為60秒,所以在60秒過後客戶端節點上就會顯示出測量的具體數據.
6.當然我們還可以通過在客戶端上執行iperf -c 192.168.0.199 -t 60 -i 2,這樣將每隔兩秒自動將測量結果顯示出來,在最後再計算其平均值.
       通過簡單的設置和簡單的指令我們輕鬆實現了針對內網兩個節點之間頻寬傳輸速度的測量,當然iperf程序還支持很多參數,具體設置我們可以參考其 HELP,比較常用的有-l 緩沖區大小,-m 顯示tcp最大mtu值,-p 指定服務器端使用的port或客戶端所連接的port,-u 使用udp協議,-w 指定TCP窗口大小,默認是8KB,-M 設定TCP數據包的最大mtu值等。另外在客戶端上可以通過-n 指定傳輸的字節數,-r 單獨進行雙向傳輸測試,在服務端則可以通過-D參數以服務方式運行ipserf,以-R來停止iperf服務.

變更SID的方法(冇左NewSid T_T )

分類:Windows Client , 有 0 次瀏覽過 , 有 0 個機器人爬過



有人在會中詢問Vista 應該如何更改SID,因為該公司在大量部署時有使用到KMS Server 及
在執行更換SID 的過程,程式會去更新系統及使用者的相關資訊,但是....自從Vista/Server 2008 開始,使用者的資料已經改存放在「C:Users」目錄之下。那這工具在Applying 啥鬼啊...
所以,正確更改SID 的方法應該是拿出Vista 內建的Sysprep 系統準備工具,
到 開始 -> 空白欄位裡輸入「sysprep」-> 按下Enter 鍵

接著系統會開啟「C:Windowssystem32sysprep」目錄,再執行sysprep 程式

開啟程式後請選擇OOBE模式,並務必勾選「一般化」,否則不會重新產生SID
然後,點選「確認」就收工啦

只是,我對這種方法還頗有微詞:
1. 只要選擇OOBE 模式,會在重開機後要求新增使用者,及重新命名電腦名稱。
假如在Sysprep 前,Vista 裡面已經有一個名為「User」的帳號,那麼在電腦重開會進入歡迎畫面,也就是準備新環境,此時就不能再建一個名為「User」的帳號,因為Sysprep 不會清除相關帳號資訊。
此外,再用「User」登入時,Vista 會重新產生設定檔(如圖示紅色圈選位置,藍色為Sysprep 前之設定檔),除非你用Sysprep 時沒有勾選「一般化」。

2. 驅動程式不會自動設定先前已安裝的。
我的測試環境是VMWare,原本在虛擬機器裡面已經安裝的「VMWare SVGA II」顯示驅動,在執行Sysprep 後,又變回了標準繪圖卡。
雖然上面這兩點很合理,因為一更改SID 後,舊有的使用者設定無法跟原始的SID 對應,勢必要重新產生。而且Sysprep 本來就是用來封裝Windows 並產生映象,重複供給組織或客戶群使用,所以不會自動安裝原環境的驅動。
但是,說實話....我只不過想要換個SID 而已,有必要這麼複雜嗎?
能不能拜託微軟再把NewSID 這麼好用的工具更新一下吧!

Fast Image/Video Upsampling

Qi Shan, Zhaorong Li, Jiaya Jia, and Chi-Keung Tang
     
Abstract
We propose a simple but effective upsampling method for automatically enhancing the image/video resolution, while preserving the essential structural information. The main advantage of our method lies in a feedback-control framework which faithfully recovers the high-resolution image information from the input data, without imposing additional local structure constraints learned from other examples. This makes our method independent of the quality and number of the selected examples, which are issues typical of learning-based algorithms, while producing high-quality results without observable unsightly artifacts. Another advantage is that our method naturally extends to video upsampling, where the temporal coherence is maintained automatically. Finally, our method runs very fast. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm by experimenting with different image/video data.

Exchange2007 問題(A Restart from a Previous Installation is Pending) Fixed

Exchange 2007 update去SP2出現Error:A Restart from a Previous Installation is Pending, 搵到問題所在及解決辦法如下:

Microsoft Exchange Server setup cannot continue because a restart from a previous installation or update is pending.

The Exchange Server Analyzer reads the following registry key to determine whether a system restart is required after installation or removal of a software update such as a security update, critical update, or hotfix.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile

The Exchange Analyzer also checks the following registry key to determine whether a previous software update installation was not completed and the system must be restarted to finish the installation.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

The Exchange Analyzer displays an error message if one of the following conditions is true:.

* The value of the UpdateExeVolatile registry key is anything other than 0.
* The PendingFileRenameOperations registry key has any value.

This error indicates that a restart from a previous install or update is pending and the system must be restarted before Exchange Setup can continue.

To resolve this issue, restart the system and then run Exchange setup again.

If the Exchange Analyzer is still reporting this error after a system restart, the registry keys may contain orphaned values that must be removed. Possible values for these keys are listed below.

Software HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor

HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor


HxD is a carefully designed and fast hex editor which, additionally to raw disk editing and modifying of main memory (RAM), handles files of any size.
The easy to use interface offers features such as searching and replacing, exporting, checksums/digests, insertion of byte patterns, a file shredder, concatenation or splitting of files, statistics and much more.
Editing works like in a text editor with a focus on a simple and task-oriented operation, as such functions were streamlined to hide differences that are purely technical.
For example, drives and memory are presented similar to a file and are shown as a whole, in contrast to a sector/region-limited view that cuts off data which potentially belongs together. Drives and memory can be edited the same way as a regular file including support for undo. In addition memory-sections define a foldable region and inaccessible sections are hidden by default.
Furthermore a lot of effort was put into making operations fast and efficient, instead of forcing you to use specialized functions for technical reasons or arbitrarily limiting file sizes. This includes a responsive interface and progress indicators for lengthy operations.

Software OpenEMM 免費的電子郵件營銷工具

1 REQUIRED SOFTWARE
===================

1.1 MySQL: Get the most recent version of MySQL 5.0 Community Server for
Windows from http://www.mysql.org/ and install it. Do not forget the
password for the database super user account, you will need it during
OpenEMM installation!

1.2. Get the most recent version of Python 2.5 for Windows from
http://www.python.org/ and install it.

1.3 Get the MySQL database module for Python 2.5 for Windows from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python (Download MySQL for Python ->
latest version, select the version ending with *-py2.5.exe, e.g.
MySQL-python-1.2.2.win32-py2.5.exe) and install it.

1.4 Get the most recent JDK version 6 for Windows from http://java.sun.com/
and install it.

As always with Windows, it may be a good idea to reboot now.


2 INSTALL OpenEMM
=================

2.1 Download OpenEMM-5.5.x-win32.zip from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemm (Download OpenEMM ->
OpenEMM-5.5.x-win32.zip) and store it anywhere on your local system.

2.2 If you upgrade from a previous release please rename the directory of
the installed version - do not overwrite it with the new release. In case
you changed configuration files manually, do not forget to copy them to the
new OpenEMM directory!

2.3 Unzip the content of the zipfile to your preferred drive (e.g. C:\).

After this, you should find the directory C:\OpenEMM (or whatever drive you
have choosen). This is the home directory of OpenEMM refered further in this
document. Open the Windows explorer and change to the OpenEMM home
directory.


3 IF YOU INSTALL FOR THE FIRST TIME
===================================

3.1 Start "setup.bat" from the home directory and follow the instruction
on the screen. The super user password of the MySQL database has to be
entered twice, first time to create the OpenEMM database, second time to
fill it with the required database structure and content.

3.2 After that you can change the default values for the redirection
domain. This is typically "http://" followed by the name of your system
(not "localhost" in a production enviroment) followed by the default port
":8080", e.g. for a server "www.company.com" the RDIR domain would be
http://www.company.com:8080".

3.2 To enable handling of incoming bounce mails not only for instant
bounces (which works out of the box) but also for delayed bounces and
autoresponder mails you have to set the mailloop domain to a FQDN (Fully
Qualified Domain Name) which points to the machine OpenEMM runs on. You can
find out the hostname of your machine with 'hostname', entered in the
command line mode (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt). Add
your domain name and TLD (Top Level Domain) to the hostname to get the FQDN
(like news.openemm.org).

When you send e-mails and want to take advantage of the bounce management
for delayed bounces there are two possibilities for the format of the sender
address:

A.) Use whatever address you like. Set up a bounce filter in OpenEMM (see
user manual) to foward the filtered response to a feedback e-mail address of
your choice (different from the sender address, of course). Implement a
forward mechanism to forward incoming mail sent back to the sender address
to the e-mail address generated by the bounce filter (like
ext_1@news.openemm.org). The flow for responses of your e-mails works like
this:

sender address -> filter-generated address (to filter out bounces) -> feedback address

B.) Use an e-mail address with the sender hostname (like
newsletter@news.openemm.org) Since no real e-mail addresses exist for the
sender hostname, normally it would not be possible to reply to an e-mail
with this ender address. To forward responses to a valid e-mail address you
have to define a bounce filter with an e-mail feedback address of your
choice. The e-mail address generated by the bounce filter has to be defined
as an alias in directory C:\OpenEMM\conf\bav in a new file named
bav.conf-local. Example:

news@news.openemm.org    alias:ext_1@news.openemm.org

The flow for responses of your e-mails works like this:

sender address -> bav.conf-local -> filter-generated address -> feedback address

3.4 You can enter a smart relay host. This may be useful for dial-up users
to send the mail via their ISP. You can either just enter the domain or IP
address or you can prefix this address by a : pair,
separated by a '@'. If you want to remove a previous entry, just enter a
hyphen '-'. An example for an ISP with domain 'isp.domain.com' using the
username 'user' and the password 'pass' must be entered in this form:

user:pass@isp.domain.com


4 IF YOU UPDATE FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION
=======================================

Start "update.bat" from the home directory and follow the instruction on the
screen. With OpenEMM 5.4.x the OpenEMM database will be converted to the UTF-8
character set. Therefore, the update script wants to drop and recreate the
OpenEMM database. Please do not be worried and confirm this request.

To change the configuration for the redirect or mailloop domain or the smart
relay (see above) you can start "config.bat" at any time.


5 START OpenEMM
===============

To start the application itself, start "start.bat". Beside the management
scripts this starts the servlet engine Resin to generate the application
frontend and to handle the URL redirection server.

Note: Depending on your installation your firewall will tell you that
