When Exclaimer’s Mail Disclaimers Signature tool query’s active directory , it will sometimes cache the information for up to 2 hours. In a working environment, a User OU change or change to information such as a job title needs to be implemented faster that this.

Custom Sage Reports e.g. ‘My SOP Reports’ by default are not stored in the location of all the other Sage Data in the Accounts Folder. You can change this setup however it does seem to effect performance accessing these over a network instead of locally. When setting up another local installation for sage ( accessing the company shared data over the network ), the following folder will store all your local report and these need copying from the computer where the reports where created after installation of sage is complete on the device :
C:\ProgramData\Sage\Accounts\2012\Company.000\Reports\
The default settings in Exchange 2010/SBS 2011 do not advertise these to the user under OWA. If you do enable services such as POP or IMAP the settings are not updated and you need to update these yourselves.

Recently when setting up a domain which was already being filtered and hosted by Microsoft forefront into Office 365, Upon changing the nameservers, the MX records correctly updated from mail.global.frontbridge.com to 365′s one (domain.outlook.com) , however the email still flowed to the host setup up in Frontbridge instead of the 365 Mailbox
The local UK support number for Office 365 : 02034506455 did not pick up after 2 x 30minute sessions with holding music!
Next I tried Frontbridge International Support : 0018662917726 ( Which is free to call via Skype from anywhere ! ). Luckily a helpful techican ‘Mudassir Ansari’ helped me with the following :
You can fix this issue by performing the following ( pretty sure this will work to BPOS as well as 365) :
Make sure your domain is verified in Office 365 and the correct DNS is set or nameservers migrated
Download and install the Migration Tools 32bit here : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=9ed5f4c1-7f0b-4506-a214-32093af6147a&displaylang=en
Go into your frontbridge control panel and disable the domain , then delete it!
Open a Power Shell Window
Enter this command : $LiveCred = Get-Credential
Enter your office 365 administrator Details
Enter this command : $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Then this command : Import-PSSession $Session
Then this command : Set-AcceptedDomain **ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE** -OutboundOnly $true
Wait 2-3 Minutes
Then this command : Set-AcceptedDomain **ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE** -OutboundOnly $false
Then wait for Microsofts Cloud SMTP Servers to Update , in my instance it took 15 minutes
When trying to open my RDP Client MSTSC.exe , it gave me the follow error: “Remote desktop connection has stopped working” , after looking at the crash it seemed the fault had occured with mstscax.dll
I found the file from a working Windows 7 SP1 32bit machine here : http://pariswells.com/upload/mstscax.zip and copied and replaced the dll in C:\Windows\System32\mstscax.dll , which fixed the issue
To get round the trusted installer , you will need to give yourself ownership of the file , then change the security settings so you have full write access to it
Recently after trying to set file associations for a .accdb file ( Access 2007 / 2010 file type ) , when trying to open an .accdb file it would display the .accdb “is not a valid Win32 Application”.
When trying to right click on the file and choose “open with” and find the MSACCESS.exe executable in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 14 ( 2010) Office12 ( 2007\ it would still display the same error message. If you opened Access up and went to file open , and find the file manually it would open the file correctly. The issue is the file associations are set in Explorer , so you have to reset the file associations, then restart explorer for them to work.
Go to Regedit and deleted the following key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.accdb
Then download this , and run it :
http://www.pariswells.com/upload/fixaccdbfileassoc.zip
Now go to CTRL ALT Delete , Task Manager , Find Explorer.exe under processes, End the process. Then go to File and Run and type in Explorer.exe and press enter. You should now be able to open your .accdb files. A restart would of also performed this acction
I was installing Blackberry Enterprise Server 5.03 on a Small Business Server 2008 Box. Following through the receommend guide here http://www.edutech.me.uk/bes-express/installing-bes-express-on-sbs2008-server/
However after the reboot of the server it brought up the Database Management prompt and would not allow me to select a Local Server even though I had asked the Blackberry setup to create a New Database. Looking through the SQL Server 2005 Configuration it didn’t look like the BLACKBERRY Database had been setup. After a brief look online it looks like the blackberry account ( besadmin ) setup needs to modify through Active Directory via the following:
Account tab > Account options: Select option: Use Kerberos DES encryption types for this account.
I made the change, uninstalled the software and went through re installation again , and after the reboot , the database had been created this time and setup was able to complete
