In many past versions of Microsoft Outlook there was a simple list of message views available and one of the choices was ‘Unread Messages’. It’s a popular option because many people use the Read/Unread status to mark messages that need action (eg reply, forwarding etc).

On a customer site we have multiple Windows 2003 domain controllers in an single AD site. One of the domain controllers has connection problems this causes authentication problems because the troubled server has the Inter-Site Topology Generator (ISTG) role. The server with the ISTG role is responsible for managing the inbound replication connection objects for all bridgehead servers in the site in which it is located.

To end the authentication problems I want to move the ISTG role from server02 to dc001. When you open the Active Directory Sites and Services console. In this console you open the troubled site. When you open the site, you see in the right pan NTDS Site Settings.

Out of the blue I was getting the following error:

Windows could not start the ServiceName service on Local Computer.

 Error 193: 0xc1

Check the Path where the service has been installed: example: C:Program FilesApplication NameServiceName.exe

This error has something to do with a file in the root of one the folders with a ‘ ‘ (space) in it. So:

  • C:Program
  • C:Program FilesApplication

Remove the file and voila…

Internet Explorer 6 sucks ;) well at least 10 years ago it wasn’t…

A lot of customers (and home users) are still using IE6, one of the reasons is the extra ‘overhead’ of IE7+.

Microsoft has released a countdown website:

10 years ago a browser was born.

Its name was Internet Explorer 6. Now that we’re in 2011, in an era of modern web standards, it’s time to say goodbye.

This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.

As one of the few, i use a Linux environment on my  laptop for production. Now that we use Microsoft Office Communication Server, I needed to find a way of connecting to Microsoft OSC from my laptop. Luckily more people had this same challenge and so a project was started on sourceforge.net for the development of a plugin for pidgin. This plugin “SIPe” (http://sipe.sourceforge.net/) enables you to communicate with Microsoft OCS.
