As Microsoft published prior to the Exchange 2010 RTM release, that people who installed the RC would be able to upgrade to the RTM with their currently running system.   I tested this out recently with my test system, and it was as simple as they said.  I’ll post some screen shots below, but it is [...]

Just as a note to myself and whomeever it may help.  Whenever you update your kernel in Gentoo you also need to make sure that you upgrade the vmware tools as well.  After recompiling and booting with the new kernel run the following command to update the vmware services.

As an update to this, [...]

This might not be the best way to go about restoring your system.  But for me my iSCSI disk decided to do something crazy and after restarting it, my servers were not able to start up again.  Basically I had to re-add the host system to my VMware servers for it to start again, as [...]

There is a way via installing an additional Microsoft plugin to undelete hard deleted mail (ie. Shift + Del) from Outlook.
It can be found in the Microsoft KB246153 article.  It is fairly straight forward, even a little too much as after installing it I couldn’t tell if it installed correctly.  After you run it, start [...]

…is a huge pain.  When it works, it works.  But more often than not for some reason I have a problem with the server going wrong doing something which more often than not involves me having to reinstall the server.  Because of this all the clients loose their connectivity.  Even better there is no real [...]

When setting up the firewalls on the servers for use with Symantec Endpoint Protection, it was a bit hard to find the ports that were needed from the Symantec Website.  So, I just copied them here for easy reference.

Well as with all the news and buzz about highly sought after Mac Tablet, I found something that is kind of like it.  I say kind of very loosely as it seems nice.  I can’t say much since I’ve never tried it.  But I do like the concept.  It is by a company called Axiotron.  [...]

One thing that I think no one cares a great deal about is if their clock is off by a minute or two.  Unfortunately, when running computers they do.  Even a slight variation in the time can mean a difference from your computers talking to each other to rejecting each other due to security policy [...]

Create a server that you plan to install Edge services onto.  For maximum security, it is recommend to not join this server to your domain.  Instead the server will communicate with Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) for its authentication processes creating a read only AD replication from your servers.
