"After removing the AV software

the Security Center kept XPM alive since it was warning me that my computer is at risk…Well, I guess I still have to work that one out."

Run the XPM, go into services, stop and disable security center.

re: Forcing Outlook 2003 to use RPC over HTTP

brion Dublin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:59:13 GMT

hi, thank you for this information.

ERIK,

Could you describe the way in which to do this?

I can't play trial and error here, b/c I know that can cause damage to my system, and I am , after all, an amateur.

From what I understand, this is what I do...

Open Run from the start menu

type: regedit, press>enter

go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

THEN TO: SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>OFFICE>11.0>OUTLOOK

After that I do Not see the file 'RPC'?

Here IS what I do see though.

Dispaly types

office explorer

options

preferences

scripting

security

setup

SQM

UserInfo

Do you know what I should do in this case?

Assuming I do find this RPC file Later,

Do I go Edit>new>dword value

type: DisableRpcTcpFallback

Data Value: 0?

I have also heard of

type:defConnectOpts

Data Value: O

I am Lost , can you Help?

Thank you in advance.

brian

re: Reset log file generation (Exchange)

Kevin Evans — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 23:50:59 GMT

Instructions are good but Step 4 is incorrect.

The transacrion log files and checkpoint file should be moved to the safe directory. Copying them will not work.

After the files are moved out, when the stores are re-mounted, a new set of transaction log files (with fresh sequence numbers) are created along with a new checkpoint file.

re: Increasing the rule quota limit/size (Exchange 2007)

William Lefkovics — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 05:42:04 GMT

The 32KB limitation was tied to the size of a single RPC packet. All the rules had to fit in this packet. If your rules were concise, using fewer bytes, you might get a couple of rules more in there.

When they moved to Unicode, the limit didn't change. Rules increased in size but still had to fit into 32KB. Fewer rules made it in. They found a way to make it worse before it got better.

re: Special character sort order (GAL)

This is true, however, it does not translate entirely on to a Blackberry

eg:

' (back tick)

- (hyphen)

order beneath:

& (ampersand)
