For my example, my domains are… Local domain: vcp.local Outside domain: vcpdomain.com.au #NETBIOS name of Client Access exchange server:        vcpsydex01 #Internal FQDN (AD name):        vcpsydex01.vcp.local #External FQDN (Public name):        smtp.vcdomain.com.au #Autodiscover name:            autodiscover.vcdomain.com.au #SubjectName:                cn=smtp.vcdomain.com.au Run the following command on the Client Access Server for generating the new Self-Signed SSL cert using the names listed above: New-ExchangeCertificate -FriendlyName "SelfSigned Cert" -SubjectName "cn=smtp.vcdomain.com.au" -DomainName vcpsydex01,vcpsydex01.vcp.local,smtp.vcdomain.com.au,autodiscover.vcdomain.com.au -PrivateKeyExportable $True Prior to Windows Vista SP1, the Windows RPC/HTTP client-side component required that the Subject Name (aka Common Name) on the certificate match the "Certificate Principal Name" configured for the Outlook Anywhere connection in the…

Firstly, this is a great article I got from – http://sdmsoftware.com/blog/2008/08/picking_up_computer_group_memb.html One of the irritating side effects of using Group Policy security group filtering on computers is that, if you change a computer’s group membership, you either had to reboot the computer or wait the default 7 days for the computer’s Kerberos ticket to expire before it picked up its new group membership. Recently however, there was a thread on the ActiveDir.org mailing list about this. Steve Linehan–resident AD smart guy at Microsoft–posted that in Server 2008, Microsoft added some switches to the klist.exe utility that you could use to…

Pre-Configuration Steps Install VMware Consolidated Backup Framework onto the Backup Exec server Before installing VCB and connecting the proxy host to the SAN you should disable automount via diskpart(cmd, diskpart, automount disable, automount scrub). When you don’t disable automount Windows will signature all “incoming” disks. When this happens the VMware hosts will not recognize the VMFS volumes anymore. Open a command prompt on the VCB proxy server (The sever you installed VMware Consolidated Backup Framework) and type the following commands:- diskpartautomount disableautomount scrub   Reboot the server Configure the VCB proxy server so that it has shared access to ALL…

First thing you need to do is download and install a SFTP server, I use EFT Server 6.0 from here. Once you install EFT Server, you need to configure a few things using the Wizard. You can use EFT Server as SFTP & FTP, ports 22 & 21 respectively. In ISA 2006, there are a couple of things to keep in mind, The FTP Access Filter which is enabled by default won’t work with SFTP because the connection is encrypted and ISA won’t be able to access it. The other thing is you need to do is edit the filter…

When using IIS FTP for example, the username and password box that pops up won’t accept a username on the domain without putting the domain in front. To avoid having to type in domain\username in the username box follow this Microsoft knowledge base article. This is the error that you might get: Error message in IIS: "530 User <Username> cannot log in. Login failed."

By default the roaming profiles folders for users are only allowed access from the SYSTEM and the user themselves. This can be prevented in Group Policy ahead before the folder is created, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, User Profiles, Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles. However if you haven’t done this and already there are heaps of user profile folders which you don’t have access to, this is how to gain access to roaming profile folders. Using two tools, the first is SubInAcl.exe available from Microsoft, and the second is cacls.exe which you should already have by…

For some reason, Microsoft decided by default not to include the Local Settings folder for users roaming profiles, I think because of speed. By default the Local Settings folder and everything inside of it stays on the local computer. Outlook’s default location for PST files is under the Local Settings folder. This means that if a user sets up a PST file in Outlook and accepts the default location, when this user logs onto another computer they will be missing their PST file and all their email. In this location, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs, remove any reference to Local Settings.
