Outlook 2003 Calendar showing Time Before Subject Description of Appoitment

 On a Week View in Outlook 2003 or 2010 , Outlook was showing the time of the appointment before the actual appointment but only on some appointments , so when this is printed it looks pretty odd!

The reason Outlook shows this time before is the scaling on the left hand side of the calendar. If you right click on the scale and choose smaller dividers e.g. from 30 minutes down to 15 this will stop it for Appoitments that can be divided by 15 minute intervals.

Per this article : http://www.outlook-tips.net/tips/tip-628-show-start-and-end-times/

Note that if the appointment splits a time period, such as if the length is not a multiple of the time scale you are using or the start and end times don’t fit nicely within the chosen scale, the times will show.

This is handled better with 2010 is you want to remove these or print the calendar if you have a calendar with appoitments with varyings time intervals!

IPFX Registration Failed 28672

Reconfiguring a NEC phone system by swapping round phone entensions brought up the follow error in IPFX when trying to register the device to update the name

: Registration Failed 28672. This is a timeout message.

To unregister phone extension in IPFX click on Register button in properties which holding shift key

Best way is to manually shutdown services then start. This will stop any qeues working that are not hard configured on the telephone system as well to fall back on. In Order shutdown service starting with IPFX and VM. When done stop the rest.

If having issues starting IPFX VMports , if you check the logs it could be becuase windows has locked one of the UDP ports. You will need to restart the whole server

Outbound Ports forwarded for Polycom HDX8000 System

Polycom HDX8000 System needed to be enabled to make outgoing IP calls. We opened up 1720 for call setup and also the Ports we fixed in through the web portal ( 3230 – 3280 ) however outbound calls where bringing the end devices name through but displayed the following error :

“Your call could not be completed because the call was routed through an intermediate network that does not service the far site”

Upon firewall log inspection , the Polycom HDX8000 System was still using ports higher and outside these ranges. After research we found the ports list diagram below which matched the firewall logs : 49151 – 65535 TCP / UDP

Regex To Remove Spam Links from WordPress Website

Recently a wordpress site had multiple SQL injections into the content randomly throughout the 100 or so blog posts as per right. These included generic keywords such as :

• levitra
• cialis
• payday
• viagra
• pharmacy
• pfizer

The sites it linked to where :

http://www.redclara.net/generic-viagra-us/
 
 
http://greatvines.com/cialis-online-fda
 
 
http://www.crackunit2.com/purchase-cheap-levitra/

Going through these with Search and Replace plugin was going to take ages , so I tried to look for a regex script. I can across the following , curtious of https://managewp.com/clean-link-injections-hacked-websites however this only looked for cetrain Div Tags. I needed something to remove Hyperlinks containing the above keywords. I modified the code to the below and placed into the functions.php file and ran with preview on then off and went through the keyword list. Cleared about 1000 links!!

Source code

//Enter keyword below to check for in hyperlinks ( the whole link )
    $spamkeyword = "spamkeyword";
 
    // By default only preview infected posts. Change to 0 to clean posts
    $preview_only = 1;
 
    // This is the pattern to search and replace with blank
    $pattern = '%<a href=[\"\'][^"]*?'.$spamkeyword.'.*?[\"\']>.*?</a>%';
 
    // This is the query to find suspicious posts using fast SQL query
    $query="SELECT ID, post_content from $wpdb->posts where post_content LIKE '%$spamkeyword%'";
 
    global $wpdb;
    $num_cleaned = 0;
 
    $posts = $wpdb->get_results($query);
 
    echo "Suspicious: ".count($posts)." ";
 
    if ($preview_only)
      echo "Post IDs: ";
 
    // go through all suspicious posts
    foreach ($posts as $post)
//echo   $post->post_content;
    {
        if (!$preview_only)
        {
            // try the pattern
            $new_content=preg_replace($pattern, '',  $post->post_content);
 
            // update the cleaned content
            if ($new_content!=$post->post_content) {
              $wpdb->update(
                $wpdb->posts,
                array(
                    'post_content' => $new_content
                ),
                array( 'ID' => $post->ID ));
 
                $num_cleaned++;
            }      
        }
        else echo $post->ID." ";
 
    //UnComment Below to See Results of Preview before comitting
    //echo preg_replace($pattern, '',  $post->post_content);
    }
 
    if (!$preview_only)
      echo "Cleaned: $num_cleaned";

Upon searching for help with this , I did have to smile at the irony of the Regex Help Website being hacked in the same fashion , although obviously all clear now!

Prometric Exams not showing up on your Microsoft Transcript

 I’ve recently taken part in the Microsoft Virtualisation exam 3 weeks ago , however my Prometric Exam is still not on my MCP transcript. After contacting Microsoft here is the problem :

We have just received an update from the Escalations team.

“Normally, it takes up to 7 days for customers to receive their exam data, however, due to data feed issues that occurred between Prometric and MS Cert over a 2 week period, there may be as many as 12000 exam records that were not uploaded, resulting in missing exam data for many customers across all regions. The Prometric and MS Cert team is aware of these issues and they are working on getting the data feed issues corrected.

We hope the feed issues will be resolved over the next couple of days.”

As per the update, there is still no specific time yet of the time of completion. Furthermore, we have already raised your concern to our back end engineering team. Rest assured that the team is working to have your concern resolved.

There are too many find public folders dialogs open Outlook 2003

Upon searching a shared mailbox in Outlook 2003 is displays the error

There are too many Find Public Folders dialogs open. You must close them
in order to use the Advance Find. Do you want to close them now?”
YES/NO

When you click Yes to close them , it comes up with an error message

“Outlook cannot perform your search. Outlook can’t display this view. A folder by this name already exists.”

Solution :

Instead of opening the mailbox as a secondary mailbox , open the Mailbox as your primary account in an Outlook profile. You can either log in with the secondary mailbox username , or give another user full access permissions to the mailbox.

You should then be able to click Yes to fix this error now , or do the below

1. Quit and log off of Outlook.
2. Click Start, click Run, and in the Open box type:
   outlook /cleanfinders
