Changing Computername - Exchange 5.5 side effects?

Posted: 04 May 2004 07:51 AM PDT

Yikes!

If you rename an Exchange 5.5 Server then you will find that the
msexchangeds service will fail to start afer its rebooted. This is because
the dir.edb (the directory) has the SID for that computer account hard
coded into it. So if you rename the computer you will get a new SID and as
a result the Directory Service won't start. There is know way to get the
directory service to start unless you rename the computer back to its
original name.

The easiest way to do what you want to do is to install a new server into
the same site as the existing server (with the new name that you need to
implement) and then move mailboxes over to this server. At a later stage
you can then rehome any public folders,system folders, & connectors to this
new server and then decommission the old server.

Hi!

We are planning to change the computername on one of ours Exchange 5.5
servers. How will Exchange react to this and what should we do to fix the
side effects?
We have to do this since the customer has naming convetntions that has to
be followed.

It is highly not recommended to perform in-place upgrade from E55 to E2K
and then to E2K3. Better borrow hardware, introduce second E55 server,
move mailboxes there, properly decommission original machine, install
W2K3 and E2K3 on that hardware, move mailboxes, decommission
intermidiate E55 and be done with it.

Ex2K OWA access help...

Posted: 02 May 2004 11:02 PM PDT

If the problem is only effecting users in specific OU's then its possible
that the Exchange Enterprise Servers does not have permissions set on these
OU's and hence the Recipient Update Service cannot stamp the users located
in those OU's.

Run through http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297124 to see if this is the
problem.

I've narrowed my problem down a bit more.
So I am still unable to get new users to connect to Exchange 2000 OWA,
however I believe the problem may be related to the users location in Users
and groups, please read on.

Here's the scenario.
Users that are created under the default AD USERS container are able to
connect to OWA just fine.
However I've created several other containers for organisation called...
C1
C2
C3
any users that I create in here are unable to connect to OWA.

I guess the question is what would be the difference between a user with
Domain\User rights, created in the default USERs container and a new
Container?

Any help greatly appreciated.

My computer has automatically changed hundreds of MIcrosoft Worrd 2003 documents to Wordpad. How can I change them back?

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 06:24 PM PST

I don't know why the change occurred, or specifically when, but sometime within the last 24 hours.  I am running office 2003 on an HP computer utilizing Windows XP.  Every Word document, on every one of my drives, now appears as a Wordpad document.  Reconverting each one of the several hundred documents could take DAYS and I really hope to avoid having to do that.  Can anyone suggest a reason it might have happened, or more important, how to un-do the damage?

Hi Bruce,

If you use a 'full packaged version' of any Office Edition you don't need a qualifying product on the PC or CD from a prior version.
It will install and can upgrade prior Editions. If you have the Office XP OEM Small Business Edition you can upgrade to Office 2003
Small Business Edition (retail) using the Office XP Small Business Edition as an installed, or on CD qualifying for upgrade program.

Hi Susan,

Thank you for your reply. Some troubleshooting methods (such as
"Check the Win.ini" and "Use the Standard VGA Video Driver") in the
Knowledge Base article Q179783 also apply to Windows XP. You may try them.

If the issue still persists, I suspect that some remaining information of
the installation of Office 97 in your previous Windows system may prevent
it from being installed properly in Windows XP. After performing further
research, I suggest you use a tool named Eraser 97 to completely remove the
remaining Office files and registry keys. For more information about how to
use and where to download this tool, please refer to the following
Knowledge Base
articles:



OFF97: Utility to Completely Remove Remaining Office 97 Files and Registry
Entries (Q176823)

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q176823



After completely removing remaining Office 97 files and registry keys,
please try to install Office 97 again.

Please let me know...

Thank you,

You can hyperlink to open another project file but you are correct, you
can't hyperlink to a specific bookmarked task in the other file. That being
said I'm not sure why you NEED to jump to a specific task in the target
file. If the WBS is done properly, each file is an integrated whole,
complete in itself. You can have external dependencies where a task in
Project A is linked either as a predecessor or successor to a task in
Project B. Won't using inserted projects and/or external dependencies
accomplish what you need? If you have a consolidation file you can always
expend each inserted project to see its detail or collapse it to hid the
detail.
 

From the menu, Insert Project

 

Gee, my wheel mouse has an adjustable scroll rate. And the scroll bar on
the right has a tool tip box that shows the task and ID I've scrolled to. 
that? 

You HAVE a user manual. It's called the online help and is installed with
the product. In my experience, the online help files are far more detailed
and far easier to navigate and find relevant information in than the
old-fashioned paper manuals were back in the 80's which were largely lists
of what button to push. Granted, you may need to disable that silly Office
Assistant but once you do you have the full manual right at your fingertips.
What it doesn't do is teach you Project Management but then a word processor
manual doesn't teach you to be a professional writer nor a spreadsheet's
manual teach you accounting theory and practices either. MS Project rightly
assumes you already know and practice formal project management as via
Critical Path and/or PERT methodolgies and as outlined in the PMBOK which is
the ANSI standard documentation of professional PM practices in North
America.

This is a deficiency in both Microsoft's Gantt chart and Network Diagram.
Lines overlap and you can't follow them. There is no fix except to perhaps

Percentage

Posted: 18 Apr 2004 03:39 AM PDT

Saving a baseline before starting to post in the progress will give you what
you need. Project compares schedule against baseline and can give you
variance information although not the % complete you should be at directly.
What your boss seems to really want is one of the aspects of Earned Value
analysis which Project can readily give you by simply displaying the
appropriate table. Unfortunately, it presumes resources are assigned
because it uses work and not duration as its measure and work doesn't exist
without a resource to perform it. What you can do is create some generic
resources with a cost of $1 and assign them to the tasks. The earned value
is the budgeted cost of work that actually was performed by a designated
status date compared to the budgeted cost of the work that should have been
performed to that date and uses the dollar value of the work in its
calculation. BCWP/BCWS =SPI, schedule performance index - if it's 1 you're
on track, <1 if you're running late, > 1 if you're ahead of schedule. BCWP
comes from the % complete progress you've posted and BCWS comes from the
work and cost data saved in the baseline.

Collaboration for the little Guy - Project 2003

Posted: 17 Apr 2004 11:04 AM PDT

Per this
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6382c615-1090-452c-8eba-4025b8976c18&displaylang=en,
you have the ability to add the "Workgroup Message Handler" into 2003,
but it's pretty clear this last version that Microsoft plans to support
this.

If the resources know how to use Project (and sometimes Resources
don't), then by organising the mpp files into logical groups of
individual files, one resource file, collecting them into master
projects ... each Resource updates the relevant project file and the PM
works with the conslidations. I'm suggesting breaking them up simply to
enable people to work on different files at the same time. This
requires shared files on a file server, of course.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

You don't really need a converter if you have access to Project 2000 or

Project 98 file, then open in 98 and save it as a template. Round about,
but it works. Of course Rob's advice is the best - there always comes a
time when you must put aside favourite things and move on. Proj 98 is 7
year old technology now, well into its dotage. Time to upgrade.

How to ensure the greeting line always appears on the same line irrespective of the length of the address block

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 06:04 AM PST

Address blocks are not all the same length, some may be 4 lines long others may be 5 or 6. I want to ensure that the greeting line does not appear in the window of an envelope when the length of the address block is not one of the longer addresses. Is it possible to ensure the greetings line always appears on the same line for each letter and any page skipping always skips at the same place for each letter.

 

Thankyou in advance for any help.

Word (2010 or 2013) custom templates

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 03:38 PM PST

i want to produce several documents based on a template where only a few fields (like company names and dates) would change per document.  is there a way to build a custom "wizard" or "userform" in word (2010 or 2013) without having to write code?  i would also like to specify certain chunks of boilerplate content to be included/excluded from the document.

Scanned document has different page sizes

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 04:42 AM PST

I scanned an A4 document on a HP Scanner.  File is an RTF.  When I open it in Word it has some pages at A4 size and some at Legal.  When I try and change the page size it very helpfully tells me I have exceeded width of page and it will not allow me to change it.  It will also not identify where the problem is.  I have tried copy and past to a new document and it carries the problem with it.  

I have saved file as .doc and .docx and it does the same thing.

HOW can I force it to change page size regardless of content on page?

Any help gratefully received....

Saving a document created from a template containing macros

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 12:15 AM PST

I've searched through the forums here, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I know the general topic has been dealt with several times before - my advance apologies - but I need a more detailed overview regarding the saving of documents created from a template containing macros. I am using Word 2010 on Windows 7.

My goal is to allow others to use a template I have made in order to create a dynamic document, i.e. one which retains the functions I have enabled through the addition of VBA macros - even after having saved the document. That is, I would like the document they have created to remain dynamic when changes are made after the initial save. My problem is figuring out how exactly this is to be accomplished.

I have created a template containing VBA macros, saved as a macro-enabled word template (.dotm). All the macros work fine in the template.

If I create a document (via either right-click > New or icon > double click) based on this template, all the macros work perfectly - until I save the newly created document. As I could gather from other forum posts, once the new document is saved as a normal Word document (.docx), then the macros will no longer work for any changes made in future edits. This makes sense to me, as - I'm assuming here - macros are not enabled in a .docx. However, I would like the document to remain dynamic, i.e. for the macros to continue working, even after the initial save.

To be more specific: My template performs - via VBA - some calculations and a few IfThen arguments based on them. While the document is being created from the template, I have no problem using the macro-enabled functions - all works as it should. If, however, I want to update this document using something which relies upon what was macro-driven in the original template, nothing happens. And that's a problem, as I don't want to have to fill out the entire template again just to make a relatively minor adjustment to the few numbers being calculated - which will, given the nature of the template - be required on a regular basis.

Can this be accomplished? Would it help to save the new document as a .docm instead of as a .docx? Does a copy of the original template need to be on every computer using documents created from that template in order for them to work? Would it be better to not use a template at all, but to simply make a copy of the original form (saved as a .docm) for each new document? And if I were to do so, would the VBA code in the original be copied also? If I mail a copy of a .docm, can the recipient use the macros?

I would really appreciate if someone could explain the details of saving documents created from templates containing macros, and whether or not there is a way to accomplish my goal.

Many thanks in advance,

-AM

Problem with Word find and replace

Posted: 10 Nov 2012 08:42 AM PST

I have a number of word documents from another author. In some of the documents, when I want to replace a section of text, I can locate it using the "find" box, but when I then go into the "replace" box it tells me it can't be found. The text is normal, a mixture of characters and numbers. It appears to be something to do with the spaces between the words, as sometimes when I try to delete the space using the back key, I have to press it more than once for it to work. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Upgrading to office 2003/ full version vs, upgrade?

Whether or not the Office XP upgrade from Office 2000 SB is an OEM version
it is still is a legal version of the software,
with all the available updates to it on the Office website. The question is
still if I bought a full version would it install over the the Office XP SB
version, or upgrade it?
I do assume though even if I buy the upgrade to SB 2003, that where my
version is a legal copy or not that it would upgrade with no problems? I
have never had problems before upgrading from OEM versions whether it is
microsoft or another program.

As to the cost for a full version compared to the upgrade. I have had no
problems so far with items I have bought off ebay. It is possible to get a
full version at a cost less then the upgrade version, depending on whom is
watching what at any giving time. In the same instance I have seen programs
on ebay that were bought at higher prices then if bought in Staples or
another store.

Can't Remove or Re-Install Office 2003! KB Article 828380 No Help!

Posted: 13 Apr 2004 11:14 AM PDT

Solution provided by the awesome Mike Bernstein:

I had a similar problem and cured it by using the Windows Installer Cleanup
program. See KB article 290301 on:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

After using that I had to re-install Office 2003 but it installed over the
top and did not loose any settings.
