Libraries can be a nice feature to use if you have your pictures, music, movies and whatnot spread across several different locations, be that discs, servers or folders. It’s really simple to setup too! Open up explorer and look to your left, there you will see the default Libraries Windows has set up. You can use the default Libraries as a starting point, or you can create a new one by right-clicking Libraries New–>Library...

If you have some sort of 3rd-party application that needs access to all of your mailboxes, it can be a pain to set the permissions on all of your mailboxes. Except if you use this nice little powershell command: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Add-MailboxPermission -User admin -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType all What this command will do is to add Full mailbox access to every mailbox in your Exchange organization for the user admin....

Often it’s a good idea to have a receive connector allowing certain devices to send mail through you exchange server without having to authenticate. One example from where I currently work is printers. We never set up the printers ourselves, that job is done by the provider. And do we want to give them a username and password allowing for mail relay through our servers? No, we don’t. It’s a better practice to have them only input the name/ip-address of one exchange server with the cas role....

A little list of some nifty packages for Debian: sudo Oddly enough this isn’t installed by default. Well known for most Linux users, but it enables regular users to perform commands as root without actually logging in as root. **molly-guard ** Protects you from shutting down wrong server when using ssh to a server. What it does is ask you which server you want to shutdown when you run the command shutdown....

I’ve put together a small guide for setting up two Fortigates with failover ospf routing. This example is based on a small lab, but you can easily adapt it to your own environment. This is the scenario: In this scenario we want the 100Mb line to be prioritized. Start of with setting up the two Fortigates with ip-adresses as shown. Also make sure to create firewall rules for traffic from internal to wan1 and wan2 and back (make sure not to enabel NAT)....

Setting up an HA cluster on Fortigate devices is surprisingly easy, heres a short little guide: Set up the first Fortigate the way you want it (or perhaps you already have one in you environment). Then click on configure, next to HA Status on the main page. Type in the name and password for the HA group you want to create. Choose which interfaces you want the heartbeat to be sent over (I recommend at least to interfaces, one of them being dedicated to heartbeat)....

At work we are currently migrating to a new active directory domain. The migration hos gone rather smoothly except for a couple of users who are not able to sync mail on their phones. After a little research I found the following events in the event log on our exchange CAS server: Log Name: Application Source: MSExchange ActiveSync Date: 04.08.2011 11:00:48 Event ID: 1053 Task Category: Configuration Level: Error Keywords: Classic...

Just thought I should share this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee731893(WS.10).aspx I have tried this on a HP DL380 G6 and it worked like a charm. One of the advantages of using that kind of server is that it has internal usb ports so you don’t have to worry about someone accidentally unplugging the usb drive. Why should I run a server os from a usb drive you may ask. Well, the biggest advantage is that if your storing all virtual machines on e....

In a default exchange 2007/2010 installation the logging level for OALGen is set to lowest. That means that if you have users who do not show up in the Global address list (GAL) or they are missing some info, you will only see the following events in the event log: Log Name: Application Source: MSExchangeSA Date: 03.08.2011 08:15:18 Event ID: 9320 Task Category: (13) Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A...

At work I was recently assigned some more network related task. One of the task I fine myself repeating over and over is locating a computer on the network. The only info you need is the ip-address of the computer.
