That did the trick! I had tried other “fixes” but this is the one that actually fixed it. Thanks!!

Comment on Citylink are useless, eBuyer don’t care by horse apples

city link are not fit for purpose. they are more suited to cleaning out litter trays with their mouths.
they persistently fail to deliver to working people, instead they take the goods to a depot dozens of miles away and you have to collect them!
this is an insane policy for a delivery company
i hope they fold with immense debts for the benefit of mankind as a whole

Comment on VMWare Workstation conversion to ESXi 4 by Angelo Papiccio

You my friend have saved me days worth of work! Excellent article. I was using the converter to convert my Hyper V VM’s to workstation so that I could then rebuild my Hyper V server to ESXi5.
It worked going to the Workstation VM but failed on the return.
I followed your instructions and I have got back my entire environment including AD Domain Controller and Exchange 2010.

Thank you sooooo much! I have been searching all over the web and I was unable to find any recent articles on my issue and everything else that I looked up didn’t work or did not fit our needs as we still wanted the print server to manage all of the printing of documents and settings. Other sites may have been close but this one resolved my problem. Have to make sure that you delete the BIDI registry hive (if that is the correct term) completely from the print server. After following your instructions precisely as stated, (making a backup of the registry first of course) everything installed perfectly for our XP x86 and W7 x64 edition clients.

Thanks again!

Comment on Offer Remote Assistance in Windows XP Professional by Ryan

Found this post through Google, very useful. I was wondering though if the same thing (no permission dialogs) could be achieved in Windows 7 and if anyone had tried messing with that at any point. Thanks.

Comment on Sending CDO.Message with importance by Server

Server — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 10:15:34 +0000

The above did not work for me (script is running on a Server 2003 with Outlook 2003 installed, receiving client is Outlook 2003). But this does:

objMessage.Fields.Item(“urn:schemas:mailheader:importance”) = “high” ‘ or “normal” or “low”
objMessage.Fields.Update

(found here: http://objectmix.com/inetserver/356971-sending-cdo-message-high-importance.html)

Comment on Backup from a Volume Shadow Copy snapshot by Randy@OnlineBackupReview

Randy@OnlineBackupReview — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:38:30 +0000

Pros: Data Archiving
Cons: you need to know all of the files you need to restore before the oldest VSS copy expires or needs overwriting…..

Comment on MSDTC through a firewall to an SQL cluster with RPC by Adam

Adam — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:09:56 +0000

Great article, I’m having this issue right now with a SQL Server 2005 test instance hosted on a Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster. I have two SQL Server 2008 R2 instances and one SQL Server 2005 instance on this cluster. My only question is, why don’t the 2008 R2 instances have problems communicating to the MSDTC but the 2005 instance requires the configuration change documented in your article?

Thanks,
Adam

Comment on Samsung saga continued… by Paul

Paul — Wed, 25 May 2011 12:26:49 +0000

For what it’s worth this problem is not limited to Samsung. I have exactly the same issue with Alba, who have been bought by Argos.

I have a very nice, veru good value 32″ LCD HD tv, BUT it has the dreaded M4.5 screw holes (only just discovered this after buying a couple of packets of ‘near’ size machine screws from my local B&Q.

I’m about to ‘have a go’ at Argos as in my view this defect makes the product ‘unfit for purpose’

I’ll advise the outcome !!!
