As we do not have the same Active Directory Domain Name as our Web Domain Name we had problems to implement our certificate bought at Globalsign in our Exchange Server. The internal and external Domain names were correctly set.

It is important to import your certificate in your Exchange Server before you follow these steps:

1) Open your IIS Manager => Select the Default Web Site => Right side: Bindings

2) A popup fires up and shows the Bindings per interface. By default https listens on all interfaces (*).

3) So remove the wildcard (https:443 *) and add your interfaces and select the certificate you need for the interface

4) Hooray ! You should now see the correct settings for your interfaces and the correct certificates are used for the connections.

Hopefully this helps

Set the parameter in /etc/my.cnf

to the value

Perhaps you didn’t enable Remote Desktop on the machines on your network. Simply connect to the registry of the destination computer using the registry editor (=> Connect Network Registry) and go to the key:

and set the value

to 1 and you may connect now to the destination computer.

Create a new GPO or use an existing one. Add a registry entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command

and set it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -requestPending -osint -url “%1″

For XP systems the path remains the same but without ” (x86)” ! This should set Firefox as your default browser !

Recently I got an Acer Aspire 3000 that should be reinstalled. During the setup it freezed twice and after the installation it freezed while loading the autostart items. The mouse and the keyboard did not respond and I had to remove the power cord and the battery to get it turned off. When I tried to turn the device off using the power button I saw that the battery monitor did not respond anymore and I tried to boot again without battery and it worked. However there must be a way to use the laptop with the battery. After a few tries I booted in safe mode and disabled the “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” in the Device Manager. After a restart in normal Windows it worked !

In Windows Server 2008 R2, Organizational Units can’t be deleted if they are protected. Therefore you get the error:

“You do not have sufficient privileges to delete XX, or this object is protected from accidental deletion.”

Follow these instructions and you can delete everything

• Open “Active Directory Users and Computers”
• Click at “View” => “Advanced Features”
• Right-Click on the OU => Properties
• Some tabs were added, select the “Object” tab
• Uncheck “Protect object from accidental deletion”
• Click “Ok” and delete object

While using multiple Exchange 2010 Accounts on one Outlook 2010 profile, I’m always gettings asked for a password. The first time when I start Outlook he wants the password for the first account, the second time outlook is started he asks for the password of the second account.

In the event viewer every time the password is asked a new event is created that looks like this:

xxx@xxx.xx failed an operation because the user did not
have the following access rights:

'Delete' 'Read Property' 'Write Property' 'Create Message' 'View Item'
'Create Subfolder' 'Write Security Descriptor' 'Write Owner'
'Read Security Descriptor' 'Contact'

The distinguished name of the owning mailbox is /O=NOSL/OU=EXCHANGE
ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=MYUSERNAME.
The folder ID is in the data section of this event.

I solved the problem by setting full access permissions for the second account. The first account is my own, and the second is a shared mailbox.

Go to the Exchange Management Console, select the second mailbox and on the right click on “Manage Full Access Permission” and select the user you login with.

This should resolve your problem

I tried to set filesystem Access Rights:

1
2
3
4

FileSystemAccessRule fsarUser = new FileSystemAccessRule(sidUser, FileSystemRights.Modify, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow);
 
FileSecurity fs = new FileSecurity();
fs.SetAccessRule(fsarUser);

But SetAccessRule() fired up the exception:

Argumentexception was unhandled
No flags can be set.
Parameter name: inheritanceFlags

Reason: Inheritance settings do not need to be set for a file, so modify the FileSystemAccessRule constructor to:

1

FileSystemAccessRule fsarUser = new FileSystemAccessRule(sidUser, FileSystemRights.Modify, AccessControlType.Allow);

Get Tasks from a remote machine running the commands:

1
2
3

tasklist /S <IP>
tasklist /S <IP> /FI "STATUS eq RUNNING"
tasklist /S <IP> /FI "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING"

/FI “STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING” filters the processes and lists only the processes that do not respond anymore. Status filter is not available on Windows Servers.

TaskList returns the list of tasks including a PID (Process ID), take the PID from the process you want to kill and excecute the following command:

1

taskkill /S <IP> /IM <PID>

If you get the following error “The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid – Error Code : 8007200b” when committing changes on a user object in the active directory, you probably tried to clear a property by setting the value to an empty string or null like this:

1
2

userentry.Properties["mail"].Value = "";
userentry.CommitChanges();

But you have to CLEAR it:

1
2

userentry.Properties["mail"].Clear();
userentry.CommitChanges();
