| C:\ Drive on your server looking a little... Fat? |
Here's a good tip to save you some C:\ drive space in SBS2008. You can move the location of your IIS log files, potentially freeing up some significant space on your system drive. The default location of those files is C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles. In this example, I'll explain how I moved them to my "E" drive under E:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles instead.
First thing is to create a new folder where your IIS log files will be saved. I decided to use the same naming scheme as the default but just on a different drive. In this case, I went to my "E" drive and created a folder named "inetpub" with a subfolder named "logs" inside. Inside of "logs" I added a new subfolder named "LogFiles". The full path looks like this - E:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles
As with most things, you'll want to create a backup of your log files to be safe.
If you're running Windows Small Business Edition 2008, go to the Administrative Tools menu (located in the Control Panel or on your Start Menu) to open the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager". You want to select your top level item - it should look something like "SERVERNAME (DOMAIN\username)". On the right menu, you'll see an icon for "Logging" that you'll want to open.
See that Logging icon, double-click it
Once in your "Logging" menu, you'll want to change the Directory location to your new folder. You can either type/paste the new location or browse to the folder you want to use. When done, select the "Apply" action on the far right pane.
Make sure to hit "Apply" when you're done!
Each of these areas have menus like the first where you can change the "Logging" directory from the default to one of your choosing. Rinse and repeat the above steps with each of these sections to make sure they're all redirected:
Each of these have Logging settings, check all that you have
You'll notice when this is done that your old Log files are still in your C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles folder. I just cut and pasted those subfolders into the new directory. If it asked me to replace any of the files I told it to move but keep both files (rename).
I freed up a couple of gigabytes and still was able to keep my logging active. You never know when you'll have to reference them so it's always good to keep them around.
This screenshot is actually for an invisible folder, but you get the point.
Yesterday I had a pile of stuff fall on my keyboard while a program was open. Today, the program opens but I can't see it.
The program was open but invisible on the screen in Windows 7. The window shrunk to a size of zero and wouldn't even let me maximize to view! Re-installing didn't work. Right-clicking the preview window and selecting Maximize wasn't a option. Alt+Tab and WinKey+Tab didn't do the trick either (although WinKey+Tab looks pretty cool). Cascading or stacking the windows by right clicking the start menu bar didn't do jack!
I had to use WinKey+Up Arrow to maximize the window (after I clicked on the preview window on the start menu bar) and then drag the title bar down to un-maximize. At first I just clicked un-maxmize, but it dissapeared again. When it was back to normal, I closed and re-opened to make sure the size stuck. Sure enough, it did! See below for some more useful shortcuts:
Use WinKey+Shift+M to restore minimized windows to the desktop.
Use WinKey+Up Arrow to maximize the current window.
Use WinKey+Left Arrow to maximize the window to the left side of the screen.
Use WinKey+Right Arrow to maximize the window to the right side of the screen.

How many megabytes is 15 megabits?
1 megabit equals 0.125 megabytes...
...so 15 multiplied by 0.125 equals 1.875 megabytes.
