When trying to install Roundcube 0.6 on a MySQL database I was already using I kept getting issues as its tables already matched some for another installation (Drupal).

Theres not much documentation about actually changing these but you can do it manually before you start the installation by editing some files.

1. First install Roundcube and follow the installation steps until you end up with your two config files 'db.inc.php' and 'main.inc.php', Read more »

I started receiving the following error in my event logs on SBS 2003 due to the fact my SBS server could no long contact time.windows.com.


W32Time
Event 47
Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer time.windows.com,0x1 after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS name.


To correct itchange your time servers to use something decent such as the pool.ntp.org servers for your location. I'm in the UK so I used this command on the cmd line:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 1.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 2.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 3.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1"

If you backup a Windows 2003 Small Business Server than you may have noticed that even though the backup appears to have completed successfully in the Server Manager, hidden away in the log there is this error message:

"SqlServerWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f4. The backup may continue, but the data for this component will not be backed up correctly.

After a lot of Googling I finally found the issue is the log on for the server SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS).

The user on my server was configured as .\Administrator, Change it to DOMAIN\Administrator and restart the service. All should be ok on your next backup.

So you've got a few hundred gigabytes of Windows Update data and you can't move them to a network share because shifting the content to a UNC path doesn't work? No problem!

After a lot of research and a few headaches the easiest way I found to do this was creating a virtual iSCSI target.

First thing to do is:

1. Download StarWind Free Edition

You have to register for a account but then its free

2. Install this on your SAN/NAS/Storage server Read more »

I look after a Windows 2003 server at work and had the problem where I forgot to enable the GPO 'Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles'. I've searched around and couldn't find a fix that didn't involve recreating all user profiles.

I actually worked out a way to fix this today without taking ownership of the folder, or recreating all the profiles. Here's how you can do it.

1. Log on to a machine as the problem user

2. Browse to you network share with the users profiles, usually something like \\***YOURSERVER***\Profiles$\

3. Right click on the users profile folder, go to the 'Security' tab and add the 'Administrators' group and give them 'Full Control'

4. Job done!

You MAY have to make standard users an Administrator temporarily to browse to the profile share but you can set it back after. Read more »

I had a complaint today that accessing a Sharepoint volume mounted as a network drive was very slow under Windows 7. I hadn't noticed this myself but having a look it was in fact true. There is an incredibly easy fix for it.

Open Internet Explorer
Open Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings
Disable 'Automatically detect settings'

Open your WebDAV or Sharepoint volume and all is OK again!

I thought I would post all the useful information I can get for running Android 2.3 on your Tattoo (Click).

First things first you will have to root your Tattoo and flash a new recovery image. Easiest way to do that is with the 1 click method. You'll need to flash ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.5 which is included. Read more »
