Last week I finally got my Droid X! This is my first Android based phone and I have to say I’m loving it. I’ve used a few BlackBerries and a couple of Windows Mobile phones in the past, but nothing that had the power and options that this Droid X has. I’m still going through and finding the apps that I want, but I think this will be a great tool.
I was trying to install McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box and got the follwoing error message:
“The 8.3 naming convention is required for installation. Click “OK” to cancel this installation and enable the 8.3 naming convention before proceeding.”
I didn’t realize that with Windows Server 2008 R2 disabled the 8.3 file name convention (this may have been done in earlier versions as well, but didn’t check that out). You can enable the 8.3 naming convetion by doing the following:
I should start by expanding the title a bit. This isn’t just about how to create a Distribution Group in Exchange 2007. It goes one setp further and explains how to set permissions on that Distribution Group so that more than one user can edit the group membership. Doing this allows a few end users (non-domain admins) the ability to mangae group memberhip without having to have a Domain Admin/Exchange Admin make the changes.
We have had issues with WordPerfect being slow when opening files in the past. It was usually because a printer was offline. However, this time around the same problem was…
I was doing a clean install of Windows XP with SP3 on a computer. Everthing went well during the install. I then installed and updated my anti-virus software. After that I connected the pc to the Internet and downloaded all of the Windows Updates.
After the updates were installed and I rebooted the pc I got the following error message:
Title box: ie4uinit.exe – Entry Point Not Found
I had a user call a while back and say they were unable to login to OWA. They could get to the login screen, and would type their username and password, but when they clicked login they would get the following error:
“A problem occurred while trying to use your mailbox. Please contact technical support for your organization.”
If they clicked the Show Details button, this is what was displayed:
We haven’t run into this problem yet, but I don’t know how many of our users have iPhones and sync with Exchange. This will just be nice to have listed.
Immediately after updating to iOS 4, some users may notice that Exchange ActiveSync Mail, Contacts, or Calendars do not sync, or sync very slowly. In addition, some Exchange Server administrators may notice their servers running slowly.
Yesterday and today I worked on getting a new server setup running Sophos PureMessage 3.1.0. We have used PureMessage for several years and have had pretty good luck with it when it comes to blocking spam. The interface hasn’t changed much since the last upgrade.
We run PureMessage on a seperate box and don’t run it on our Exchnage server. This way it helps keep the spam load isolated and doesn’t hurt performance on our Exchange server.
I installed a Windows Server 2008 R2 box awhile back to test IIS 7.0. I was wanting something that I could load PHP on and work with WordPress. I was hoping to use the box as a small Intranet site. I’ve tried installing PHP on a Windows box with IIS in the past and there were several things to do. While I was searching for the documents online again, I came across the Web Platform Installer from Microsoft. I thought I would give it a shot. It’s great for a helping get a IIS server up and running with PHP and even mySQL. It’s just a matter of selecting a few options in the GUI and following the prompts. I suggest you give it a try if you need IIS running with PHP.
At work we have two ASA 5520’s that are configured as an active/failover pair. Here are the steps that we use to upgrade them.
