Hide Sent Messages from Outlook on Blackberry with BES

A user wanted to remove the default syncing of Outlooks Sent Items to the blackberry ( So any item she sent off her computer was NOT synced with her blackberry). She wanted to keep items she sent from her blackberry on her device though. This means the option to hide Sent items as below will not work as this will hide all the sent items

• Homescreen > Messages > BBKey > Options > General Options

Scroll to the “Hide Sent Messages” field and set to Yes or No depending on your desire. It’s likely that one of these folks has that at Yes and the other at N

To just hide the emails sent from your outlook on your blackberry and disable Sent Items Reconciliation you will need to create a rule on your blackberry

• Homescreen > Messages > BBKey > Options > Email Filters

Create a new filter ( Menu Key and New ) and set the filter From Value to your email address of your account and then change the Forward options to Do Not Forward. This will only now save emails sent from your blackberry and not forward from your computer

Google Apps Password Issue – Gotcha Captcha!

Recently when setting up friends and customers with Google Apps I keep getting authentication errors. I try and log into there webmail and this works fine, it’s only when logging in via POP3 or IMAP I get this password problem. Upon investigation Google seems to be locking some accounts with Captcha

To unlock your Google Apps Email account via captcha go to

http://google.com/a/yourdomain.com/UnlockCaptcha ( Replacing yourdomain.com) with your actual domain name

Enter the Username and Password and the Captcha code , once it gives you the green light that your account is unlocked , it will authenticate fine!

Google , It would be nice if you can warn the user he/her account is locked in webmail at least!

RDP File “unable to open connection file”

Upon trying to open up a remote application on a 2008 terminal server I am greeted with the following

error:unable to open connection file.

This issue seems to be down to the file signing , if you have access to the terminal server , republish the file without signing and redeploy this. You can take out the signing manually by

• Opening up the .rdp file in question with notepad
• Find the line starting “signscope:s:” and delete any of the text on that line and after it. ( This removes the signing code )
• Save the text file and try again

How to Passthrough USB to Virtual Machines in ESX and ESXi

Click on the Image to Buy Belkin Network 5-Port USB2.0 Hub - F5L009UK

The VMware Virtulised Operating systems ESXi and ESX do not support USB passthrough. VMware has stopped USB passthrough, as ESX was designed for VMotion. You can migrate Virtual Machines between physical servers and no one will notice. USB will prevent this, since VM is locked to physical USB port.

This brings a problem for Small Business’ when it comes down to their backup solutions. Large Enterprises will use SCSI or SAN which are compatible with VMotion. Luckily this problem has been resolved using a device from Belkin.

The Belkin Network 5-Port USB2.0 Hub maps up to 5 USB devices over a normal TCP/IP network for you. Installation is simple and once installed on a machine will immediately detect the plug and play devices connected to the HUB

This device will also solve issues with servers needing to access USB Dongles with hardware keys on them for anti piracy reasons as seen here

The cheapest I could find was one on Amazon for £52 including free postage

Insert disk labeled intel application accelerator driver

I was reinstalling Windows XP on a laptop , Upon loading the Serial ATA Drivers ( Via a floppy during setup ) and running the installation I was asked

“insert the disk labeled Intel Application Accelerator driver into drive A”
The Intel Application Accelerator driver uses AHCI for Native Hot Plugging a drive , which is something you are not going to hopefully need while installing windows. To stop this error message coming up I went into the BIOS and disabled AHCI for the windows Installation

If this is not an option for you, you might have to go ahead and create another floppy with the needed intel application accelerator driver!

Here is a RAR file with all the needed drivers
