Issues with Outlook Message Recall

Message recall function in Outlook doesn’t work with any normal condition. It requires a few things in place:

1) Senders and Recipients must be on Exchange Server environment

2) Senders and Recipients must have Outlook 2003-2010 that supports message recall

3) Senders and Recipients must have Outlook opened or running in the background when message was sent/received.

Therefore,we can conclude that at this point, message recall is only useful for internal organization message recalls especially for people who are more desk-bound, as message recall will run successfully on the sender if Outlook is opened on the recipient side.

A little weird, but it’s true.

Randomizing and Reset TeamViewer ID

* do not do this to infringe copyrights for usage of teamviewer!*

While trying to use teamviewer for home, sometimes i came across the alert stating that teamviewer suspects usage of teamviewer in corporate environment. Eventually, you'll not be able to use Teamviewer anymore!

A work-around would be to do 3 things:

1. Delete teamviewer files
2. Delete teamviewer registry keys
3. Randomize your MAC address
4. Rerun teamviewer

I have created the necessary tools to allow the reset here:

Asus EEE PC, BIS configuration

This is an update on the EEE PC Findings we have and research.
I will update this on our blog, but I thought its good to send you guys an update first.

EEE PC With N-Lite installation is good, we referred to this site and followed ‘almost’ everything…
Site:

On Bill’s EEE PC, 9” Linux Version (4GB, 16GB)
- Drivers have to use the Support CD version of it.
- Downloaded sound drivers DEFINITELY will NOT work.

On Juliana’s EEE PC, 7” Linux Version
- When it gets hot, the mouse will go crazy

Our ISO files have included the following:
- Dial Up Networking
- Themes for Windows

Our ISO files have left out the following:
- Media Player WMV Codec Pack
- DIVx Codec Pack
- Modem Drivers Pack (Needed for Wireless Broadband Modems)

To Re-configure:
- CD-Key for Windows XP Home
- PC Name and Workgroup name

Lesson in PING

I found a way where you can trace a connection to a server more thoroughly than just tracert and ping...

in your command prompt, type: pathping -n (ip address)
eg. pathping -n 205.216.112.157

this will give you a technical result like:

Hop RTT Lost/Sent = Pct Lost/Sent = Pct Address
0 192.168.1.102
21/ 100 = 21% |
1 2ms 25/ 100 = 25% 4/ 100 = 4% 192.168.1.10

Trace complete.

based on these results, i can see that there is definitely a connection problem!
on the average, 20% of my connection gets dropped and that affects connection stability.

Problem with accessing Java Sites (dbs,ocbc) banking in Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi Everyone,

I found a problem with accessibility of banking websites in IE 7.0 when Java has to be activated.

Firefox will not have a problem, therefore, you may use Firefox as a work-around emergency solution.

For IE to work, in Vista, you must make sure that the TOOLS > Manage Add Ons > Check enabled Add-Ons > look for Add ons that run without requiring permission.

look for Java. make sure all JAVA related add-ons are enabled.

After that, restart IE.

IE must be running when doing this config.

You will then have to go into Control Panel > JAVA > look for Advanced > Go to Either Applet Tag support or Default Browser for Java.

Make sure Internet Explorer is TICKED. Click APPLY

After which, you will be prompted an error stating that you do not have permission.
click ok, then a box will appear by Vista system, stating that you can run the dialog box with the Vista option. Select the first of the prompt, and then..

go into Control Panel > JAVA > look for Advanced > Go to Either Applet Tag support or Default Browser for Java AGAIN.

Click APPLY. this time round, there will not be a prompt, then restart your Internet Explorer 7.0

This should resolve the problem with Java.

Thanks!

SpamHillator as an antispam tool

Hi
Everyone,

We’ve found
a tool to double the effectiveness of spamihilator for outlook express
filtering called blacklist filter.

This will
better identify spam mails without the need to learn a lot of the spam mails.

Eg. after
you’ve installed spamihilator for the first time, you start off with a
‘not-so-smart’ spam filter. Therefore, lots of training is required for the
spamihilator. But with the blacklist filter, it gets 70% smarter than without
the filter!

The tool
will be available in the server under SOP with spamihilator once the server is
up and running.

Techies,
please make sure that the tool is installed in YWCA CDCs and NOF implementation
where the users in those premises uses Outlook Express.

Thanks!
