Backing Up Exchange Server 2003

Posted: 14 Jan 2005 04:29 AM PST

Yeah when I say client I do mean the Arcserve Exchange Client.

It is not so much a problem to use brick level here as there is only 30
mailboxes anyway.

I have looked at all the access permissions and everything is right.

Any other ideas?

Create whitelist with IMF?

How did you determine the sending IP address? IIRC this must be an ip

Did the one that got blocked have the same address?

Is the smtp vs set up for connection filtering (via the checkbox)? If
not, the connection filter is not checked and therefore would not take
higher (or any) priority over IMF.

Exchange 2000 and POP3

Posted: 13 Jan 2005 02:22 PM PST

Hi,
you need a so called pop3 connector or downloader. There are quite a lot of
free and commercial on the market. We use the one which is included in
Aloaha since that can even scan the downloaded mails for SPAM, does not
duplicate mails and is fully scriptable.

Spoofed or Internal Relay?

Do they really need to? Normal Outlook+Exchange/OWA users don't need to

Where are you seeing this? In your queues? 

Yes, but if you don't allow internal users to relay (disable *all* relay
except for the specific IP addresses that need it) this won't happen. And
you should be running centrally managed desktop antivirus software
anyway.... 

I think Fritz answered that one -

See http://www.vamsoft.com/orf/authattack.asp . If you don't have
strong/complex password policies enabled, force regular password changes,
have enabled guest, etc., someone may exploit authenticated relay. If you
don't need authenticated relay, disable it. You can always have any external
POP users use their own ISP's SMTP server for outbound mail anyway.

See http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF005.html for a good overview of
relaying and spam.

You are right, but he said he needs a way to import _something_ (no matter
what) from a CSV file to AD, Whatever information it is, if you need it in
AD and there are attributes allowing you to store it, it can be done with
csvde, right?

As for the Contacts, normally they are stored in a user's mailbox and not in

Bizarre stuff with public folder

Posted: 12 Jan 2005 12:21 PM PST

The one I'm talking about currently CAN receive from the Internet, but it
doesn't HAVE to be able to. The weird thing is, I had been deleting the blank
posts and they kept popping back up. However, I just left the post there
yesterday and nothing new popped up. Have you ever see that behavior in a
posting? Interestingly, one of our helpdesk technicians had posted something
several days ago to validate the permissions on the folder, but after he was
done he deleted it. The next day it popped back up. He deleted it, and the
next day it showed up again. We leave it in there and no more pop up.
Strange, huh?

We seem to have the same problem, particularly when we receive press
releases where the "To" field is says "Distribution List" and not a name in
our organisation.

The problem is that our server sends out a message back to the distribution
list that clearly tells the world that it is our server that has the
problem, which is highly embarrassing to the business!

Any ideas as to how we can correct this?

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 Maximizing Problem

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 Maximizing Problem


Word 2010 Maximizing Problem

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 03:08 PM PDT

Hello.
I have a problem with my MicrosoftWord 2010 Professional Plus. Let me set the scene.

1. I have a Word document open, but minimized. Thus I see my desktop and Word in the taskbar.
2. I then click on the Word icon on my desktop in order to open a new Word document page.
3. When I click on the icon, my original document maximizes. So I now have 2 maximized Word documents open.

How do I stop the original document from opening? This is very frustrating and confusing when I am working on multiple word documents.


The link below is the exact issue that I am facing.

My microsoft word recognizes the wrong language

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 02:51 PM PDT

I was copying and pasting Korean for my project,

but my Microsoft word recognized this as Japanese.

When I just type in Korean my word recognizes as Korean, but this time the whole paragraph (including other paragraphs)

was recognized as Japanese. I just copied and pasted two sentences because I couldn't crop the original document...:(

Is this just my error or does it happen to everyone? Can it be fixed?

Thank you for reading my question:-)

OMG - All I want to find is the code for Bold in my linking code between Excel and Word.

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 02:22 PM PDT

I have been reading for hours on how to convert numbers, insert formulas and hyperlinks in my linking code between Excel and Word.  All I want to do is format the text Bold when the word document updates its link. We have been getting half-and-half merged cells for years in one particular section of our document.

 

I want to thank all of you out here, because I have used the more advanced coding to change number formats can do pretty amazing things.  But I simply cannot find any reference in switches, merge codes or field codes regarding bold text.  I have even seen articles entitled beyond, bold, italic & underline in field codes.

 

Thanks!

Need formatting and font consistency

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 01:40 PM PDT

Let me start by saying that if it was my choice, I would simply export the Word doc as a pdf and be done with it. However, in this technological era, there are still scores of job recruiters and web sites that insist you upload your resume in Word format. As a visual designer, it's imperative that my Word doc looks identical on every screen that it graces. Yet that seems to be asking a lot.

I created a resume using MS Word 2011 on my Mac this Friday, only to find out that you cannot embed fonts in the Mac version of the software. Not a big deal, I opened the file on my pc to include the fonts. However, pretty much everything was the wrong size, in the wrong place, or missing something. Again, not a big deal. I just re-made the entire thing using MS Word 2010 on my pc.

However, it was the same problem. Even after ensuring I ONLY used .ttf font files and hadn't neglected to embed the fonts in the Save Options, the document looked completely different on my coworker's pc than it did on mine. Bear in mind I didn't jump platforms that time...it was made on one pc and previewed on another. The body font wasn't embedded, text boxes had shifted or been removed, and the entire layout was muddled by the font change since whole sections were moved to the next page.

Essentially, I need a way to create a moderately complex layout with embedded fonts that will look identical on every single computer, no exceptions.

protected word file loses styles when other users open files

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 12:17 PM PDT

I have a protected word file document where no edits can be done to the file.  Only comments can be made. However, when the file is opened by other users outside my company the heading styles disappear.  This happens with some users but not with all. I have Windows 7 Enterprise, 2010 MS Office, but do not know what other users who open these files may have, and if this has anything to do with the problem.  Need to know why the file's styles changes and if it can be avoided.

 

This is office version 14.0.6129.5000 (64-bit)

How to for Styles

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 12:11 PM PDT

I'm looking for some advanced info on creating styles (hierarchy/naming, etc.).  I find I'm continually recreating the wheel.  I know there is third party software out there but definitely won't be going that route.  What's considered "advanced" word in most of the training I see out there doesn't cover what I'm looking for.   

 

I'd like to develop some templates.  Can I get some reading suggestions?

MS-word 2007 crashes on resizing of window

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 11:47 AM PDT

Hello,

I use Vista 32 bit  home premium OS with MS-Word 2007.  I have all the updates installed as of today and not a single update has been skipped.

Since the last few months - ie since some update was installed, which I update, I cannot tell - I have been noticing that when I resize the window on MS-Word 2007, Word crashes and in some cases, some of the tabs of Internet Explorer 9 also crash.

This is exactly how it happens:

1) I use a File Open.
2) I navigate to the specific folder on my C drive.
3) I try to increase the size of the window that is shown (which has the list of files).
4) Word restarts.
5) Sometimes along with Word, some tabs of internet explorer also kills some tabs.

In step one, I could use File save as but execute the same steps as above in 2 and 3 - and 4 happens (and may be 5 as well).

I have noticed that this happens only for word and not for excel, powerpoint or access.

Help - this is getting very frustrating!

Track changes not saving in Word after other person applies all changes.

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 11:39 AM PDT

I have been working with an author on editing their novel. I was running Word 2010, and seemed to be having issues. I would use track changes when editing, I sent my author the work, and she accepted all changes at one time. However, when the document was sent back to me for inspection, I noticed not all of my changes were saved. She went through and edited some sections later using track changes, I accepted all of her changes, and still not all of her changes were saved. She was running the 64 bit version of Word 2010, but I was running 32 bit. I recently upgraded to Word 2013 and am saving our progress in Compatibility Mode, but we are still encountering the same problems. Formatting is also weird when I email her the file. There's big gaps where there shouldn't be. What is happening? This is my business and this reflects poorly on me and it making me overdue on this project. I'd appreciate any help I could receive.

calculation help in form fields

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 08:36 AM PDT

I am using word 2010. I created a textbox form field which I bookmarked as hotelcost. I created another textbox which I bookmarked costpernight. I made them both number formats and then I created a textbox and named it hotelsubtotal as the bookmarkname. I made this a calculated field  and the calculation was (hotelcost)*(costpernight). That worked fine.

I created a second set of text boxes

one was bookmarked as costpermeal

one was bookmarked as mealsperday

and I crested a calculated field  called mealsubtotal which was (numberofnights)*(costpermeal)*(mealsperday) 

That calculation was also correct

I want to total  my expenses now and so I created a final text box

I bookmarked it as total

my calculation was (hotelsubtotal)+(mealsubtotal)

my fields automatically doubled in the total field

I can't see anywhere in the calculation including the parenthesis that is causing this to happen. I tried several examples and it exactly doubles them each time.

What am I doing incorrectly

Please tell me

Thanks for the help

Trouble opening .rtf file in MS Word 2003

However if I open the attachment in Outlook and then save as either an rtf or doc, and then open the document, the heading disappears and a blank document opens up. If I change the view, I can see the heading, but it is distorted as it was created in text boxes, not regular text. Please advise.

hyperlinks changing in Word 2003 docs attached to Outlook 2003

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 02:43 AM PDT

Hi, I work in a large organisation that is still using Windows XP on the network along with Office 2003 and have been having trouble with hyperlinks in Word docs that have been attached to Outlook messages. In the original documents the hyperlink may be to a file in a different location and the full path is used to avoid different drive letter mapping applied by various users and work fine when the doc is copied using Windows Explorer. The problem arises when the doc is attached to a message and either opened or saved from Outlook and the hyperlink is altered by the system to include the temporary internet file location at the start of the address. Any thoughts on how to prevent this?

 

I should also add that I have changed the Word settings so that the hyperlinks are absolute in all Word docs by changing the Tools, Options, General, Web Options, Files settings so that Update links on save is unchecked. I have also confirmed that the original file is saved to a location with shared access and that the files referred to in the hyperlinks are also in shared locations.

Why does my cursor keeps jumping around in word

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 11:03 PM PDT

I purchased the new Office 2013 to work with the Windows 8 that came with my newly purchased computer (Lenovo.)

 

The issues is, which has been driving me crazy over the past two months, when typing on the Word 2013, my cursor keeps jumping around on the page. For example, in the middle of my typing a sentence, the cursor would jump to three lines above in the middle of a word and continues the my input there. Whenever I see my writing in word is not changing while I definitely was typing, I will have to stop and started to examine where the words have went. After I find them five or whatever lines above, I will have to delete them, use the mouse to click the end of the writing again and trying to retype and continue to type.

 

I can swallow the problem if it only happens once each document, but it happens 10+ times when I type a two-page essay. I don't think the newly developed software is making my life easier but the opposite.

 

Does this happen to anybody else? Any clues of why or any suggestions, please?

 

Thanks!

 

 

P.s., please note that besides the letter keys I hit on the keyboard, I did not hit on any other keys such as arrow keys. Especially knowing my cursor jumps around, I am extremely careful with hitting my keys. I do not touch the mouse pad, neither.

 

P.s., besides jumping to other places and start insert words, sometimes the cursor would select/highlight a line or half line. If I was not aware of the change and hit a space, the whole selected lines are gone. See, I didn't know how to select lines besides using the mouse, and I did not use the mouse but simply typing, so I am very frustrated with what my cursor does to me.

Fixed text on labels

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:20 PM PDT

After adding the 5 address fields to the label template for my sheet of 10-up address labels, I decided I wanted a line of fixed text at the foot of each label.  I added this to the template but when I check the preview, the text line moves up if a given record has less than 5 address lines.  I do not want that text line to move up at all, I want it to stay in the same position at the foot of each label.   I tried adding a text box on each label, but even the text box moves up if there are less that 5 address lines in a record.  Used to be easy with Word 2003, I just selected 'print blank address lines'.   Thanks

Ability to add more "sheets" in Word?

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 03:45 PM PDT

Hi, I just wanna share my thoughts, 

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to add more "sheets" Word like how it is in Excel? 

I often want to keep several different clips of articles within the same category in the same file. 
But so far the only way to do that in Word is to stack them up vertically and increase the # of pages. 
If you have 10 pages, the articles in the middle tend to get neglected. 

It would be very helpful if we can add a new page tab and view/work on that tab. 
We can use different tab names to organize different categories of articles.

Microsoft Word Not Responding ... have to hard-restart

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 03:39 PM PDT

I'm REALLY getting sick of this.  MSWord just stops responding.  No particular common factor ... sometimes when I try to save, but not always ... sometimes when I try to type, but not always ... particular vulnerabilities are switching from body to a footnote ... or to the Works Cited section ... BUT NOT ALWAYS!!

 

Windows 7

MSWord 10

4 GB RAM

HDD at about 40% capacity

 

If MSWord isn't suitable for a 50+ page document with references, perhaps I need to find another system.  I'm trying to write a dissertation and I'm having to break it up into 40 page sections.  After 40-50 pages, it starts getting stupid again.  This is totally UNSATISFACTORY.

 

By "hard-restart" I mean holding in the power switch or pulling the plug.  I can't restart from the start control.  It freezes up the whole computer.

HELP needed with Office upgrade from 2000 to XP

Posted: 26 Oct 2004 03:55 PM PDT

I checked this. It is set to start on Sunday but the calendar in the
Access app has changed to start on Monday instead (this is not an
Outlook calendar but an app written in Access that has changed
mysteriously from Sunday to Monday being the start of the week.)

Nothing else on these systems has been altered except for the upgrade
from MS Office 2000 to MS Office XP. Could this be an Access setting
or does Outlook change everything for the whole suite? In any case,
the change in Outlook had no impact on this Access DB app.

activate office on "new" computer

Posted: 25 Oct 2004 11:37 AM PDT

Yes. Worst case scenario is that you will have to call MS at a toll free
number.
So, begin the install, try to activate. You may get a "call MS" dialog box.
Do that. Talk to the MS type, telling them that you're re-installing a
newly formatted computer that had MSO previously installed and activated.
You will be given a series of numbers to input, and then you're up and
running. If it's been more than 120 days since you first installed, you
probably will not even have to do that.

It looks like you are loading Add-Inns at STARTUP. I suggest look in this folder what files are listed:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup

Generally, there should be none but sometimes you may have PDFMaker.dot if you have ADOBE Acrobat Full version. If you have any other files then check in Word what is loaded by:

Tools, Templates & Addins,

This should let you unload the ones which is wasting your time (by unticking them)!. Same technique should be applied with other applications if they are causing any problems. Some Addins contain what is called "Concept Virus" and so these can steal data from you and transmit them eletronically to the author of these scumware. Bank details and the like are the ones they are mostly after but some also steal emails!

Also, it is a good idea not to load any addins unless they are required at
certain times otherwise there is no point.

Hope this helps.

Automate Office 2003 product activation

Posted: 25 Oct 2004 08:42 AM PDT

Hi Tiffany,

If you create an Office Admin Installation Point
using a Volume License Key (VLK) then you shouldn't
need to activate installs created from that Admin Point.

That has been a source of contention between us and Microsoft for a
while. Apparently our VLK can be activated X number of times but we
still have to go through the incredibly irritating phase of doing so.

Hmmm, does Office XP offer automated activation?

Thanks,

Why didn't you simply change the tape? "Sense key medium error"

help with allowing ftp access.

This is better.

The "connection refused" error occured because you had no ftp server running.

The "421 Service not available" error comes directly from the ftp server. A
"4xx" level message is one that indicates a transient error condition. The
"x2x" level of the message indicates that it is a reply referring to a control
or data connection. So, you are connecting with a live ftp server, and it is
telling you that it cannot let you continue.

So, this indicates an ftp server configuration condition that's causing the
ftp server to refuse connections. Take a look at the man page for your ftp
server (in.ftpd) and see what configuration files are used. Take a look at
those files, and see if there's anything that would cause the server to reject
the connection with a 421 error. Try the /etc/ftpaccess file, and see if there
are any date/time limits set, or client address restrictions.

debian sarge DVD apt setup fails during base install

Did all of the above before seeking help here. As of tonight I was able to

that when I first tried to do it that way with the actual DVD that I
forgot to mount the disc. I shouldn't be making that mistake after the
last few years of using linux, but at this point I won't swear I didn't.

Next step is to start over from scratch and see if it works correctly this

rw vs. umask in mount call, also, conditional mounting

Posted: 07 Oct 2004 08:28 AM PDT

On Thu, 2004-10-07 at 08:28 -0700, gonzalo briceno wrote: 

The 'rw' option is something passed to the mount command that tells it
to mount the selected item as both readable and writable; 'ro' is the
complementary option, which says to mount it as 'read only'. If you
specify 'ro' then that will set the *entire* item as read only,
*regardless* of individual file permissions.

The umask basically sets up the 'default' permissions set that will be
applied to any new file created within that mountpoint (actually, it's a
bit more complicated than that; check 'man 2 umask' for details--it's
essentially a 'mask' for allowable permissions). Essentially, requested
permissions => umask filter = actual permissions applied to created
file. Note, you can use chmod to change the actual permissions of the
file later; the umask only applies to newly created files.
 

Well, technically, no, because the mount command defaults to whichever
option (rw vs. ro) is most appropriate for the media (I believe so
anyway; somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, as the man page doesn't
specify). For instance, a CDROM will always be mounted as 'ro' because
'rw' is meaningless to a CD. However, it's always better to explicitly
specify it in the /etc/fstab file, just so it serves as a reminder of
how the mount point is set up.

Anyway, your presumption isn't true; if you want to be able to write to
the mount point *at all*, you *need* to specify the 'rw' option (whether
explicitly or through mount presuming it for you).
 

Yup. If you need to *ever* be able to write to the device, you *need* to
specify the 'rw' option, either explicitly or through mount presuming it
for you. If you specify 'ro', you won't be able to write to that device
*at all*, regardless of individual file permissions. Think of it as a
master override.
 

Probably not the way you're thinking. Each slot on your card reader is a
separate drive, as far as Linux is concerned, so each slot is assigned
its own device, regardless of whether there's actually a card present or
not (technically, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are the drives
themselves; /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 refer to the first partition on the
media inserted into the drive). You *can* (and should) have a separate
line in /etc/fstab for each slot. Entries in /etc/fstab just define
*how* to mount the device, not whether it is *actually* mounted
(well ... actually, mount scans entries in /etc/fstab at bootup to
determine which ones to mount automatically, by checking for the 'auto'
and 'noauto' tags).

Supermount has nothing to do with recognizing new drives and/or
partitions; *all* it handles is the mounting and unmounting of removable
media (CDs, floppy disks, media cards, etc). The detection of new
potential devices is handled through the hotplug mechanism. Try
unplugging your card reader; if everything's set up correctly, the
entries in /etc/fstab defining the slots in your card reader will
shortly disappear. Once you plug it back in, they should shortly
reappear (although they will be the defaults that Mandrake sets up,
rather than any customizations you may have made).

Grub: can grub execute a script/batch file?

Sean Cleary <com> wrote: 
 

Then why do you ask the boot loader to do it now, instead of leaving it
to the [d]O/S, like you did before?
 
 

Oh. Well, the windows o/s as it comes has no driver for linux file
systems, so you would have to put your grub.conf and other stuff on a
vfat filesystem so that windows can edit it (and so can linux).

Grub is lacking in the "do what I want, not what you want me to do"
department.
 

Well, you can't do that all in grub. The grub boot loader (second
stage?) reads the conf file to find out what image or boot sector it
ought to transfer control to next. That's where the "default" info
comes from. There is no "default" info implanted into the boot sector or
map file as with lilo, so you have toedit that file.

Thus you need to boot an operating system that can launch an
application that can edit it. It seems to me that you will have to
handle the windows "default" by doing whatever trick you did before
with msdos and moving into place a grub.conf file that says "boot to
a windows boot sector and let it decide via its boot.ini what to do
next".

 

Well, find out.

To kernel 2.6.8:after compiling and installing, no initrd.img generated

do you need to 'register' a custom module in linux 2.6.x

Modules in 2.6 end in a .ko extension (for "kernel object"); however,
using a 2.4 module in 2.6 will, very likely, just fail to work, as the
API is certainly different (although perhaps not in ways that matter to
this module), and the ABI is probably different.

AFAIK, the only way to use a 2.4 module in 2.6 is to recompile it from
source, using the desired 2.6 kernel as the base. If the APIs that the
module relies on have not changed, that should work; if they have
changed, then the module will need to be adapted to the 2.6 APIs.

Also, if you do not have MOD_VERSIONS enabled, this just won't work,
period, as the kernel will be unable to verify which ABI the module is
compiled for. It *may* appear to install, but I wouldn't rely on it.

After a quick search, however, I'd guess your hopes of getting it to
work under 2.6 are probably doomed; check
