I have been getting these ‘weird’ phone calls on my mobile phones; I hear someone playing classical music in the background, then hangs up. I can’t call back as the number is silent. Sometimes the classical music can go on for a couple or so minutes, or sometimes just 10 seconds.
This has happen at least once or twice this week, So not annoying, but weird? It’s not costing me anything. Anyway… Meh.

If you download Abode Acrobat Reader 8 and try to install it on your Vista machine it could be that you’ll encounter the following message:
If you do… following is the work around that I’ve found to the problem:
1. Start the installation as usual, do no dismiss the error message box.
2. Open explorer and copy the “Adobe Reader 8″ directory from the following path to your root dir
“C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow\Netopsystems\temp\”
3. run the setup.exe from the “Adobe Reader 8″ directory on your root dir.
That’s right I had one of those days. I was deleting a user and accidentally deleted an OU containing every user at work. Needless to say everyone’s access to all our internal systems ceased immediately. after mashing my keyboard and mashing CTRL-Z (UNDO) which doesn’t exist in active directory users and computers, which I knew I just mashed it anyway whilst yelling a few colorful words at my monitors. Anyway I was left with the task of restoring all our users. Luckily I had the active directory directory restore mode password. Anyway, rebooted into active directory restore mode. and the desktop would come up after the login prompt and successful authentication. FUCK! anyway I was able to hit ctrl-alt-delete and get into task manager, and disable the exchange services, next reboot to AD restore mode was successful. We were running Backup Exec 11d. Which I couldn’t start as Domain Auth doesn’t work in AD restore mode. Changed the services to login as local administrator and backup exec was up and running. Restored the OU using backup exec.
ran ntdsutil
authoritative restore
restore subtree “OU=Staff Accounts,DC=domainname,DC=local
quit
quit
Rebooted and the OU was still missing. At this point I was starting to think I’d have to recreate all the accounts and reattach the mailboxes.
Anyway so I figured I’d attempt it again, same result.
So I restored the whole system state.
ran ntdsutil
authoritative restore
restore database
quit
quit
Rebooted, the server came up, the OU had returned.!!! WOHOO!
anyway finished the day up at the pub. as you do.
Last week I migrated our public folders from one server to another. Since then any new items were coming up and Posts instead of the mail item, after digging around and not finding much I found this little reg key which solves the problem.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerName>\Public-<GUID>
Value name: Incoming defaults to IPM.Note
Value type: DWORD
Value data: 0 or 1 0 (zero) is default (0=false).
Change the dword value to 1.
