When running a CU on an Exchange hybrid setup the installation failed because services were disabled. This script will make sure every 10 seconds that Exchange services are not disabled during installation.

I've been having some trouble doing Exchange PowerShell after enabling Office 365 MFA on my account. I did this to gain access from my computer. 1) First save this to a .reg file (e.g. fix.reg ) and run it to allow installing the Exchange Online Remote PowerShell Module on your computer from Internet Explorer: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Security\TrustManager\PromptingLevel] "MyComputer"="Enabled" "LocalIntranet"="Disabled" "Internet"="Enabled" "TrustedSites"="Enabled" "UntrustedSites"="Enabled" 2) Then paste this URL in Internet Explorer to install the module: https://cmdletpswmodule.blob.core.windows.net/exopsmodule/Microsoft.Online.CSE.PSModule.Client.application 3) Now run this command to connect (remember to modify the  UserPrincipalName to match your own username): Connect-EXOP...

Run this to uninstall app from Windows. I always put this script in a GPO which runs during Windows logoff, because of a forced reboot during uninstall.

This script will check health state of Hyper-V replication. Run this as scheduled task on your server doing Hyper-V replica. If status is not normal, or failing, it will send a SMTP warning email. Remember to update the first 3 lines with correct information.

To find all Exchange mailboxes a list of users have access to put the mailboxes in a TXT file. One mailbox per line, e.g.: myname@domain.com mynewname@domain.com etc. Save the file as 'users.txt' and put the file on your desktop. Run this code to create a TXT file with all the mailboxes a user has access to:

2 finger scrolling stopped working on my Ubuntu 17.10. This will fix the issue, but will have to be rerun after laptop sleep or reboot: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse

I've created a regular expression to prevent leaking Danish social security numbers via e-mails. I use this filter in my SPAM filter/SMTP (outgoing and incoming) server (SpamTitan) and it will match both 123456-7890 and 1234567890: (\W|^)[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9](-| |)[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9](\W|$)

I run this script on a Windows server to delete files older than X days. The files are backup files from a LINUX/Ubuntu server.

1) Create script. I created the script in my home folder. Insert your own user name instead: sudo nano /home/allan/mouseSensitivity.sh Script containing (220 is max sensitivity): echo -n 220 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity 2) Make file executable: sudo chmod +x /home/allan/mouseSensitivity.sh 3) Make script run at reboot. First edit crontab: sudo crontab -e and make script run at reboot: @reboot /home/allan/mouseSensitivity.sh

I recently activated SSL inspection on user computers. I installed a certificate from the supplier to use, but Firefox did not read this certificate. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer worked fine. To make this work, force Firefox to read certificates from Windows store by changing settings in Firefox. Firefox will read .js files when starting. Create a new file containing: - and save with extension .js. E.g.  Firefox_settings_securityEnterpriseRootEnabled.js . Use Windows to distribute this file to all computers to both 32 and 64 bit folder: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref & C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

Oister kunne ikke hjælpe mig med opsætningen af min Nokia 6 og MMS, så jeg fandt selv ud af det. Nu kan du se hvordan her: Start med "Indstillinger" -> "Mere" -> "Mobilnetværk" -> "Adgangspunkter". Vælg "Oister MMS" og ret den til som nedenstående. Husk at vælge "Gem" i menuen til sidst. Genstart er ikke nødvendigt.

I was unable to change the mouse sensitivity after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04. It was very low/slow after upgrade. Changing it in the default mouse app didn't do any difference. And xinput didn't work. I ended up modifying "/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity" and changing the value to 220. It worked immediately. To make the change work after every reboot, edit '/etc/rc.local' and add this line before the command 'exit 0': echo -n 220 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity My '/etc/rc.local' looks like this: #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. echo -n 220 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity exit 0
