I’ve had some users remove the Anonymous User from Calendar permissions in Outlook – there really isn’t a good reason to have this user unless you plan on giving them perms, which isn’t really a great idea – using the Default user is better.
The best way to re add the Anonymous User from what I can tell is to use PFDAVAdmin. This seems to require an older OS, and you can see the product page for more details.

Many Proliant machines will ASR after firmware upgrades.
The fix for this is to upgrade ILO management drivers. At least, usually – I have a couple of 2008 x64 boxes that this isn’t helping for.
If the box is production, it might be best to disable ASR until a fix can be found, as these are falsely detected ASRs.

Unfortunately after I upgraded my BlackBerry to the newest version Verizon provided over OTA, a new feature was to remove the lock button.
Here’s the solution:
Either A) Set a password.
or
B) Hold down the A key until it locks and use the Mute button to unlock it.
Not much of a solution – and I can’t think why they would take something away as part of an update.

Step 1 – Install freesshd
Step 2 – Connect to it, run “powershell”
Tada! It’s free, it’s quick, and it works fine.

I’ve seen a ton of posts regarding this on many different forums. What’s the short answer? Well – it’s possible – even probable. And it may even be being worked on right now. Ventrilo themselves won’t be releasing an Android client. Or an iPhone client. They haven’t even released a news update in over 6 months. Can you imagine how much money Ventrilo would make on an iPhone app in the market at $5.

I ran across an issue attempting to sysprep a machine to image. The %WINDIR%\Panther log showed: 0x8030000b
Some people found that it was issue with Keys, Computer names, Media Center keys improperly included in the unattend.xml file.
In my case, it was caused by manually removing profiles from the machine before sysprep. Check the registry keys @
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList – perhaps using the Profile Removal utility from system properties is cleaner?

While adding a machine to AMS after restoring a sysprepped image, the adding of the machine to Acronis’ Management Console fails with the error:
The machine has been already registered
This is a quick fix:
1 – Remove the \HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node(on a 64 bit machine)\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\Settings\MachineManager\MMSCurrentMachineID key
2 – Restart the AcronisScheduler service.
All set.

Here’s a quick script for Powershell that can be used to add a secondary SMTP address in Microsoft Exchange 2007.
$username=Read-Host "Enter username to add email address too."<br /> $secondsmtp=Read-Host "Enter a secondary email address"
$usermbx = Get-Mailbox $username<br /> $usermbx.emailAddresses+=$secondsmtp<br /> Set-Mailbox $usermbx -emailAddresses $usermbx.emailAddresses
