Windows Server 2012 - alert on low disk space - windows-server-2012

How can I configure to receive an email on low disk space? I'm using Windows Server 2012 and after Googling for a while I couldn't find a way to do something that should be really simple.

Optimal file access speed while using of Visual Studio 2012 under Parallels, shared filesystem

I am looking for a set of recommendat ways of using Visual Studio 2012 (or even older versions) under Parallels on Mac OS X.
The questions is not about the hardware itself, is about how to obtain the best level of performance while still running VS virtualized.
Where to keep the project files if you want them shared? Now they are on Mac partition and VS is accesing then using Parallels mounts. Even if this is on SSD drive, I am not very pleased about the speed. Is another option better?
The Windows-7 partition is a psysical one, not a virtual disk, same SSD drive as the OSX partition. Also, there is a secondary HDD in the machine but that's not used right now because it supposed to be much slower than the SSD.

Cannot use Visual Studio 2012 remote debugger from inside VM

I've seen a variety of questions (like this) which relate to my issue, but none that specifically address my scenario.
I'm running a Windows 8 VM inside VMWare Fusion on my Mac. The VM has shared network, filesystem, etc through the NAT network adapter.
As I'm building an app using Visual Studio 2012, I'd like to do some remote debugging on my Windows Surface tablet (WinRT)... and I have installed the remote debugging tools on the Surface.
However, Visual Studio (running inside the VM) can never see the Surface as a CPU running on the network subnet.
Any ideas? I've even tried physically connecting the computers with USB/Ethernet adapters, but the Surface won't let me install the firmware.
As long as the visual studio debugger can see the surface's IP that should be good enough. They don't need to be on the same subnet (although it makes it a ton easier, they cannot be NAT'd as far as I am aware but that's a better question for Microsoft directly). The best that I can recommend would be to switch from shared to bridge for your networking, that should put your Win 8 VM on an actual IP on the same subnet. Otherwise you might be able to try IPv6... but I don't know how well that will work with VMware.

Slow performance of apache web server on azure windows virtual machine

I have installed uniform server and wamp and they both have a very slow response time.
I tried both the windows 2012 and 2008 server and I see the same problem: slow response time.
To reproduce this issue, install wamp or uniform server and try to open phpmyadmin in your web browser. You will notice that clicking on phpmyadmin menu items, there will be a 1.5 or 2 seconds lag until you get a response from server. Why is this happening?
EDIT : >>>
Server memory usage looks ok: 45%.
CPU usage is normal: When I click on a link(php) the CPU goes from idle to 15% for about 2 seconds.
I tried two virtual machine sizes: extra small and small on both windows 2012 server and windows 2008 server. They have exactly the same behavior on this issue.
Every hit has exactly the same lag.
Yes, MySql is installed with uniform server. Also mysql is installed with wamp. I tried both
I installed a preconfigured ubuntu linux VM with mantis bug tracking software on extra small VM and it runs very fast. So I think that this problem has to do with the OS or some configuration setting in apache, mysql or php.
You can try following the 3 points below:
Disable the Windows Firewall.
Disable IPv6 support.
Edit the 'hosts' file.

What are the minimum requirements for Sybase ASE 15.7?

This is a ridiculous question to ask, because it should be on their webpage under technical requirements, but I can't find it.
So does anyone know:
What versions of Windows are supported for this database?
RAM requirements
Anything else that would prevent it from working on a vanilla install of Windows (server or otherwise)?
Thanks.
All that information can be found in the "Installation Guide Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.7 for Windows", under System Requirements. From that documentation:

software fails to write to profile folder stored in C: with Win2003 limited user due "out of disk space"
When I look with Admin rights, there is plenty of space on C: drive
When I go with limited to user to cmd.exe and say dir c:/ , its 0 bytes free
Looks like there is a disc quota in place.
