Outlook crash on opening a shared calendar

Leave a reply

I have a problems today with an Outlook that keeps crash sometimes when a user is opening a share calendar. I tested it on my test machine and when the user opening the shared calendar at my test machine my own outlook crash also.

I then try to give the user full permission to the mailbox and that resolve the issues.

The error code in the event viewer was:

Faulting application outlook.exe, version 12.0.6514.5000, stamp 4a89dc70, faulting module mso.dll, version 12.0.6425.1000, stamp 49d65443, debug? 0, fault address 0x000057ba.

This is not the best solution but is a workaround for now. It seams to be a bug in the way Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 is running.

Delegates (Stedfortræder) problems in outlook

Leave a reply

The error messages in Danish:
Indstillingerne for stedfortrædere blev ikke gemt korrekt. send på vegne af-liste kunne ikke aktiveres. Du har ikke den nødvendige tilladelse til at udføre denne handling på objektet.

The error messages in English:
The Delegates settings were not saved correctly.
Unable to activate send-on-behalf-of list.
You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.

Solution:
In order to resolve this you need to give Write Personal Information permission to the SELF account on the user who is trying to add the delegate. To do this, follow these steps:-

Connect to your mail server.
Open Active Directory Users and Computers, and then click Advanced Features if it is not already selected on the View menu.
Expand your domain, and then locate the user’s Organisational Unit (OU).
In the right pane, right-click the user who is experiencing the delegate issue, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab, locate the SELF account, and then click “Write Personal Information” and “Read Personal Information”.
Click OK

Vmware ESXi (ESX) 4.0 and Dell Openmanage SNMP Traps

Leave a reply

First you need to install:
http://www.vmware.com/downloads/download.do?downloadGroup=VCLI40U1

This is a vmware CLI tools. Install it on a windows machine.
After you install remember to log out and the log in, else you will get this error:

Can’t load ‘C:/Program Files/VMware/VMware VI Remote CLI/Perl/site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.dll’ for module XML::LibXML::Common: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Program Files/VMware/VMware VI Remote CLI/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

Then download Dell Openmanage  offline bundle to the same machine that you install Vmware vsphere CLI:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&releaseid=R250294&SystemID=pwe_r710&servicetag=GWT2J4J&os=EIx4&osl=en&deviceid=21859&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=36&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=365571

Put the Vmware ESXI into maintaince mode.

Start a dos prompt, and go to:

c:\program fileres\vmware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin

Type

vihostupdate.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> -i -b <path to Dell OpenManage file>   (On the windows machine)

Reboot the Vmware ESXi machine.

vicfg-advcfg.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> –set 1 UserVars.CIMoemProviderEnabled

Reboot the Vmware ESXi machine once again.

Make sure that the Dell openmanage is install on the ESXi.
/usr/lib/ext/dell/dataeng status if not then start it: /usr/lib/ext/dell/dataeng start (This commands should be run at the ESXi host)

vicfg-snmp.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> -t <IP address of SNMP Traps destination>/<SNMP community> (On the windows machine)

And this command for enable SNMP Traps
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> -E (On the windows machine)

And then this to make Dell Openmanage happy about the SNMP traps configuration.
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> -c appmanager

Exit the maintenance mode.

If you need to test the SNMP traps you can run this command

vicfg-snmp.pl –server <IP address of ESXi 4 Host> -T  (On the windows machine)

And if you need to access the openmanage web interface, start Dell openmanage on a windows machine, and then logout (Right corner), and then on the login screen click on “Manage Remote Node”.

Type the ESXi hostname the username is root and the password is the password for root and tick the Ignore Certificate Warnings. Then click login.

Dell openmanage and Nimbus monitoring – SNMP Traps

Leave a reply

Start Dell openmange.

Goto System -> Alert Management -> SNMP Traps.

Select all the information you want sent to Nimbus

Now startup services in adminsitration tools, and right click on SNMP Services and choice Properties.
Go to Traps, and type community name, in my example it is appmanager, and the traps destionations should be the nimbus server or where you are going to install the snmptd agents in nimbus.

No go into nimbus and install snmptd and dom_traps on the host where you will monitoring the Dell openmanage hardware.
And then go to host, and right click on snmptd agents, and choice configure.

Press the last icon, “User/Security Manager” and put in the community name from last step, in my example that will be appmanager.

Now you should be running

Pureftpd (Ubuntu / Debian)

Leave a reply

Setting up Pure ftpd to run on certains port is very simple.
Log on to you linux box and run this command:

echo “60010 60030” > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart

or if you run mysql as a backend

/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart

Now you just need to forward port 60010 to 60030, to you linux box.
