Problem: You got a huge mailbox but the AutoArchive feature does not work.
Symptom: Old elements in outlook stay where they were even though the date is older than the time you specified in the AutoArchive settings.
Reason: If you edit, move, copy, forward or reply to an element, the message modification date is set to the time of the action taken. AutoArchive does check for that date, this is the reason why some elements may remain in the inbox or in the calendar even if they seem to be older and should be in the archive.
MS KB: KB197981 even if this article is said to apply to outlook 2000 it’s still applicable for 2003 and 2007

Symptom: After updating NVC to NEM the Exchange IS is not starting
Problem:The NVC had a flag set if the NVC was on the same server as Exchange. If this flag is set and NVC is no longer available, Exchange cannot start the informationstore.
SolutionTo fix this issue, go to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\VirusScan

Change the value from 1 to the following:

Key: Enabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0

An der heutigen Apple Spezialveranstaltung wurde wie erwartet das iPad vorgestellt. Ein Tablet nach dem Prinzip vom iPhone. Steve Jobs präsentierte das iPad mit allen Features und Funktionen als ergänzung der Produktepalette zwischen iPhone und MacBook.

Es wird in verschiedenen Ausführungen (16, 32 und 64 GB mit wahlweise WiFi und WiFi + 3G) erhältlich sein. Die Preise in Amerika sind unter 1000$ und lassen auch für Europa hoffen.

Die Modelle ohne 3G sind ab Ende März verfügbar, diejenigen mit 3G dann ab Ende April.

Apple hat einen iBookstore ins Leben gerufen welcher Amazon und seinem Kindle den Markt streitig machen wird. Zudem wird der App Store nun um iPad Abbs erweitert. Die meisten fürs iPhone geschriebenen Applikationen sollen ohne Anpassungen auch für das iPad verwendet werden können.

Es wird grafisch hochwertigere Spiele geben (NfS Shift, Asphalt 5 …) Diese sehen auf dem iPad recht nett aus. Zudem wird man iWork auf dem iPad nutzen können.

Beim WiFi setzt Apple auf den Wireless n Standard.

YouTube wird in HD verfügbar sein. Das ganze Gerät sieht generell sehr aufgeräumt auf.

Die Fotos welche diverse Quellen während der Präsentation geschossen haben, sind unter folgendem Link zu betrachten.

I happend to see a Windows Vista Business PC fully patched that could not connect the network drives via GPO from 2008 domain. Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions for Windows Vista (KB943729) patch was installed on the client. But still no network drives were mapped to the client.

In the eventlog of the client the following entry is created

Log Name: Application
Source: Group Policy Folders
Date: Date
Event ID: 4099
Task Category: (2)
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer: Computer Name
Description:
The client-side extension could not log RSoP data because it failed with error code ”0×8004401e This is not a valid MOF file”.

The reason is that the drive mapping ist not working if the following condition is true.

The user that you want the network drives to connect, is member of the local administrators group and the UAC feature of Windows Vista is turned on.

To resolve this issue you’ll have to do one of the following things:

1. remove the user from local admin group
2. disable UAC
3. Add an entry to the client registry as described in the following KB article: KB937624

After doing one of these steps you should do a reboot or gpupdate /force for the changes to apply.

Awesome Track by Darius & Finlay feat. Nicco. Nach “Do it all night” und “Rock to the beat” bereits der dritte Hammer der Combo und auch dieses mal gibts wieder einen Michael Mind Remix, welcher alle anderen Mixes schwach aussehen lässt.

Since Norman released their latest security Product a few weeks ago, I had several problems when deploying client files from Norman Endpoint Manager to another Server.

After initializing the Push Installation on the Endpoint Manager, Zanda.exe and zlh.exe appear on the remote Server. But even after a few minutes there was no change of it’s state. The zlh.exe process is beeing closed and zanda.exe does not seem to be working anymore.

In fact Norman has a built in delay to start finalizing the installation. This delay should be set to 15 minutes by default, so the network is not blocked by the high load generated when distributing files. If you want to see if zanda is still working, open the eLogger.exe. You can find it in your Norman directory in the subfolder \Npm\Bin\ if you start the eLogger.exe you will see what Zanda is doing.

If you want to immediately start zanda to update, open a command line prompt and enter the following command:

zanda /updatenow

zanda will update now and you will see the information in the eLogger window. If the update is over, you will get the message in eLogger. Then it might take some time for zanda to start the norman services.

All the above information can be found in the norman support issue archive.

Lately I expected an error E00002FE on Backup Exec 12.5 installed on Server 2008. The error which was reported in the Job Log, was the following:

Final error: 0xe00002fe – Cannot log on to MAPI with the specified credentials. Review the resource credentials for the job, and then run the job again.

If you test the credentials in the Job properties, it will give you a successful anyway.

The error happens because the ressources are not in the correct order. By default Backup Exec does the backup for Disks and System State befor saving the Exchange Server. On a server 2008 based server with exchange 2007 installed this will end the backup with an error.

The solution for the event is quite easy if you find the correct page in the symantec backup exec support forum. If you search in the knowledgebase of symantec, you’ll find the following page. http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/311718.htm On this page a few possible reasons for the problem are listed. If you go down to reason 6 you will find a short note saying this could happen on an 2008 based system with the information store not in te first position of the selections list.

The Link provided in the article (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/306830.htm) will bring you to the solution of the problem. Just select the first storage group and move it to the first position on the backup List. If you use public folders move the second storage group to the top position as suggested in the article.

The next time you run the backup job it should finish correctly.

Easy solution for a stupid problem!
Have fun with it

What to do if you, some user or an application deleted content on your public folders in exchange 2007? There are (at least) three possible solutions to solve this issue.
1st solution: run as fast as you can and never come back!
2nd solution: you restore last nights backup and pray to the mighty lord that this works and does not kill the rest of your exchange server
or you just restore the deleted items by using the
3rd solution: dowload the PFDAVAdmin tool from Microsofts website. Start the application, connect to your exchange server with an account that has sufficient rights to access the public folder in which the items were before beeing deleted. Then click the Public Folders on the Left and navigate tot the directory in which you want to restore the items. After selecting the folder, click on Items on the right side of the tool. Select Deleted contents on the bottom of the application and then wait. After the Items have been listed select the items you want to restore, right click on them and select recover items. Then wait. If a dialog box pops Open that wants you to confirm that you really want to restore the items click OK. Maybe the program runs into an unexpected error, this might happen if you try to restore several thousend objects at the same time. Click Continue there and go check for your Items. Usually the Items are restored before this message appears.

For the usage of PFDAVAdmin I would advise you to user a server that is neither Exchange Server nor a Server 2008 based operating system. You can try to run the tool on Server 2008 but in my case I ran into an error when connectiong to the exchange server. If you start the application on a Server 2003 based machine you will be able to connect to the exchange public folders.
