No, you don't! Not unless your tarball has been untarred as root and has
restrictive permissions on it.

Pasquale, did you by any chance untar this thing on a Winidows machine and
copy it over to Linux using a text-file transfer mode, such as FTP in
certain configurations, and maybe wind up with messed up end-of-line
characters? I've seen behavior like this when people try to use the same
source files in both Windows and Linux and get the EOL messed up.

user cannot read ntfs partition

Posted: 14 Oct 2004 11:53 PM PDT

Alberto

The NTFS drivers were originally not written to have write access on
NTFS partitions. In general it is not a good idea to have write access
to NTFS partitions due to the nature that windows index the files.

You can read this FAQ on Linux NTFS

Hmm, I had almost exactly the same problem with my USB keyboard in FC2,

make a difference for me, either. What *did* seem to make a difference
was getting the 2.6.8 sourcecode and compiling my own kernel, which
really isn't difficult. I was going to compile my own kernel anyway,
since I wanted ntfs filesystem support and the stock kernels don't seem
to have that compiled in.

So far I've had to recompile my 2.6.8 custom kernel once after getting a
whole bunch of updates with the Redhat Up2date tool and having my USB
keyboard work erratically (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't) --
recompiling solved the problem.

I don't know enough about Linux to have a clue if that means anything,
but maybe someone else will have a lightbulb moment from it.

before and after, the only the part of the link up to a space will be
hyperlinked.
ex: file://c:/my documents/january
This would be underlined and blue up to "my". Hence I need the <> for the

How do I span a 50 hrs task throughout the 3 months of my project.

Posted: 18 Sep 2004 06:01 AM PDT

Steve,

A valid point........and an omission on my part to include the final step of
amending the task-type....if so required. This was mainly due to the fact
that you'd conveyed a pretty good understanding of the underlying principles
in your initial answer. I felt, however, that your answer could have become
lost amongst such "principles".

I feel equally as strongly as you, about the way project programming needs
to be approached. As such, I also get the urge to convey the basic
principles. However, my experience also tells me that, when a person is
looking for an answer, especially a written one, they need it at the
beginning of the "reply", and with minimal additional "data". By all means
convey the supporting principles and caveats associated with any particular
answer....but even then, it has to be in short, sharp chunks, post answering
the initial question.

Cheers.

Leveling - Resources are not leveled

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 12:43 PM PDT

"Start no earlier" and "must start on" are two very different critters. And
yes, the SNE is perfectly valid for the situation where the task can't start
because the hardware isn't available prior to a certain date - modeling that
reality is exactly why such constraints exist. But your original message
said the tasks have "must start on" constraints. SNE usually won't
interfere with leveling while MSO, "Must Finish On," and "Finish No Later
Than" constraints on tasks following the overallocations almost always will.
MSO means it simply will happen on that date regardless of anything the
resources or PM does, like the scheduling of when Christmas comes you
literally have no control over it.

Can't I save a MS Project Report?

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 09:42 AM PDT


Melissa,
I might as well throw my hat in the ring also. As Mike noted, Project
does not allow built-in Reports to be saved, directly. However, if you
have some experience with VBA, you can develop a macro that takes the
same information in any of the built-in Reports and exports it to
another application. I do it all the time by exporting to Excel. This
approach also allows the report to be customized to your exact needs.

At least this is another option.

Duration ?

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 06:35 AM PDT

There are a couple ways to do this but I think the easiest to follow is this
....

You don't need to worry about the task type or anything like that, the
default "fixed units" type will work fine. Remember duration is the time
span from when work first begins until when it's done - it is NOT the
"window" during which the work might be done before some deadline. So
saying your task is 2 weeks duration and requires 16 man-hours of work means
that the resource is going to be spending a part of each day on it, but not
his full work day, spread out for a period of 2 weeks. For him to
accomplish 16 hours of work (2 workday's worth) output spread out over 2
weeks (10 workdays) means he is devoting, on average, 20% of his energy each
day to the task. Thus over the course of 10 days he creates the same output
that would have taken him 2 days if he had worked on it full-tilt. So enter
the task with either a 10 day or 2 week duration, they're the same thing if
you work a 5 day week, and assign the resource at a 20% assignment level in
the resource assignment window. Project will calculate the task's work for
you to be 16 hours and you're done.

Strange Excel Problem (not printing): Excel 2004 & Leopard

Posted: 07 Feb 2008 09:05 AM PST

In fact, I never use the formula bar. I always type directly into the cells,
and I haven't changed the "Edit directly in the cell" checkbox in the
preferences - I've always had that checked.

The text is set to black, and as I mentioned, I do see it when I double-click
and then type into the cell. Interestingly, since starting this thread this
morning, I haven't been having the problem. I can click in the cell, type in
it, see what I've typed, and everything is fine.

I have no idea why that is working intermittently now, but at least it's
working for the moment.

Thanks for your help in trying to troubleshoot. It's definitely a strange

This might be a combo of a system and Office problem. Have you run Repair

Using Repair Permissions after installing MS Office or any application that

1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions

Don't run from CD. Updates contain a newer versions of the application's

Share a public exchange 2003 calendar over web, HOW?

Posted: 29 Jan 2005 02:58 PM PST

Great, I got it to work (but requires a password) and had to mess with the
URL's for a while before I stumbled onto the right combination for our
organization and subfolders so here it is:

http://tull.biggs.org/public/busd/bhs_calendar/

So now the obvious question is, how do I get rid of the need for a name and
password so that web-public or any users can more easily get in to see the
calendar. I could easily create a user name in Exchange like "public" and a
password of "public" but would rather they not be asked for any name and
password. Is that possible? Is there a way to assign "anonymous" to not
use a password? I don't know who the anonymous user would be, there isn't
one in Exchange of course. I thought I could assign IIS-USER or GUEST
as a way to get in, but the way you described to assign rights only looks at
the list of Exchange users, not Win2k3 local or domain users. Any ideas?
Do I need to enable guest or IIS_User some more rights on the W2K3 machine,
not necessarily in Exchange user rights?

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exchange and SAN Storage

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 10:01 AM PST

Paul puts a lot of detail and examples in his recent article found here:
http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/45137/45137.html

Another good best practice would be to remember that there is no magic
bullet when it comes to SAN. Many of the same concepts of sizing for direct
attached storage still apply regardless of what a vendor will tell you.
I've complained before about a vendor, EMC setting those kinds of
expectations at my company.

Using a SAN often indicates that you want to scale the user-densities
cost-justify putting it on the SAN in the first place. If you're not going
to scale much (maybe only put a thousand on a server instead) then I
wouldn't worry as much about the layout if you still want to go to a SAN.

For scalability, SANs aren't a tremendous help in terms of performance
because Exchange is cache-unfriendly. Be prepared to use a lot of spindles
to achieve scalability. They are good for addressing more disks in a more
reliable way. They also have software that can be useful in some situations
depending on the requirements.

For me, the more I deal with EMC the more I become a fan of HP when it comes
to FC SANs. I haven't tried the iSCSI sans yet for Exchange. If I ever get
a chance, I won't recommend EMC to anyone after the current experience. To
add to that, I don't have a lot of confidence in their brand name after:
http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/news/110613070692790.xml?nohio
In fairness, the claim may not even be true. But you know what, after the
grief I've gotten due to that company and their sales teams, I'll stay clear
and choose to believe the article at face value.

Don't get me wrong, SANs make a lot of sense if you want to scale and need
some other components that the SAN has to offer. If you're keeping it
small, keep it simple and keep it off the SAN. If it has to be large, it
should likely be on a SAN (when was the last time you deployed a 384 spindle
direct attached storage array, right?)

Last thought: when setting this up, make your SAN folks certify the
configuration from the HBA out because in order for it to work, the stars
have to align: the drivers have to be supported, the configuration has to be
supported, the firmware of the HBA's have to be supported, they have to be
zoned correctly, and the list goes on. Make you vendor/support team tell
you exactly what you need to be using and how it should be configured. I
tell all folks new to SAN technology the same thing :)

If there is something you need specifically, feel free to drop a note
offline. Exchange and SANs do work well together but they can be quite
complicated with lots of moving parts. And there's plenty of FUD to get
hung up on; don't believe any of it.

That will do it, you must have accessed that mailbox with Outlook 2003 which

Have you followed all the guidelines to connect the account and
configure the account with sufficient rights. The fact that a trusted

Any consideration for additional space needed in order to run eseutil or
restore the exchange database from your backup solution?

You can do it without problems to logs and stores, although make sure
the backup doesn't kick in during the defrag run.

Still can't see why you want to defrag daily.

Exchange and 2 DC question

Posted: 24 Jan 2005 09:17 AM PST

we have all linux apache web servers at our co-location, this DNS box provides non-dynamic DNS for those servers (as well as a secondary linux DNS box actually at the co-lo). Our internal Windows DNS servers do not know about those sites without that DNS and they do forward to it, but it doesn't like to send updates back, hence we use it as DNS as well to hit those sites. Our DNS servers have zones for those web domains as a few are company domains that utilize domain names like exchange.company.com or vpn.company.com externally/internally that the linux DNS server also do not know about...

Essentially getting the Windows and Linux folks to stay in tune with each other around here is next to impossible, so we improvise...

Glad to have helped!!!

However...

If the Linux box isn't authorative for the namespace that maps to the domain-name then you shouldn't be pointing to it at all. What is it's purpose? If it's used for external name resolution, you should consider using forwarders and/ or a proxy server.

I found the exchange server itself was using DNS from the DC that went down and a linux DNS server...I think this is why it happened, I updated that to also point to the other DC for DNS as well and the linux DNS as a 3rd DNS server.

In the directory access tab (you said services, but I think it's access in 2003?), it shows both DC's for domain controllers and global catalogs, and one DC as a configuration DC, so I think it's okay there.

Thanks!

The roles don't really have much bearing on this (the PDCe does for legacy clients, but I'll not go into that). The important thing to understand here is that there are two critical aspects: DNS and Global Catalog. The latter is pointless without the former being available to locate it.

All of your DNS clients should point to at least two (internal, authorative) DNS servers. You should also have a minimum of two GCs (and at least one per site). In a single domain environment, or small forest, it is a good idea to have all DCs as GCs.

I'm no exchange expert by any means, so I'll leave the exchange side of this to the exchange guru's. I'll just say this: Exchange relies on the GCs. There's a Directory Service tab in the properties that shows which GCs it knows of and will use.

Does your Exchange box point to two DNS servers, and is it listing more than on GC in the directory services tab?

Are the DNS servers both up-to-date with the applicable SRV records?

We have 2 domain controllers and one of them went down this weekend (hardware problem) and our exchange server followed it a few hours later. My understanding is this is the exact reason why you'd want 2 domain controllers, so exchange (and others) wouldn't freak out when one domain controller goes down for whatever reason. Why would this happen? How could I prevent this in the future? By the way, the 2nd domain controller was found to be on a bad APC/UPS a few months ago and as a result was shutting off frequently, exchange never had a problem with that one going down (it's the secondary though, no master roles but does have a copy of GC, the one from this weekend had all master roles and both do DNS).

Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone use Blacklists?

Posted: 24 Jan 2005 06:53 AM PST

I use the same product and have had good success in our environment using the
following:

dnsbl.njabl.org
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

I was using bl.spamcop.net, but it seemed to be duplicating the work of the
other two. We were getting a ton of porn spam from Korea and China (not good
in a school), so I set up korea.blackholes.us as the third blacklist and we
are seeing significant results (the good kind).

I also am evaluating the Brightmail antispam component that is being offered
with the SMTP for Gateways product, and it works very well, but it may not
fit into the budget, unfortunately.

Do a message tracking on one of the failed messages since I have a sinking
suspicion that it is the recipients mail server that is failing the message.
(The X-Postfix line is what makes me think that it passed correctly thru the
Exchange system.)

Exchange 2003 Trial, how many days left?

Posted: 23 Jan 2005 06:49 PM PST

Yeah I noticed that if you just open the Exchange System Manager you can
pull up properties on the store and the server which give you a creation
date as well. I didn't install it however so I can only assume it's the 120
day version but I have no clue how many versions MS put out not to mention
still don't know how crippled it gets afterwards.

Now I'm seeing that the non-exchange server is saying that the domain for the
exchange server can't be found. This is impossible, since mail from outside
of the network flows fine. DNS is resovlable and does point correctly to the
exchange server. The exchange server, the non-exchange server, and my dns
server are all behind my firewall and configured at a 192.X.X.X address.

MS Word documents' "Total editing time" tag is hidden in file details

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 09:52 AM PDT

Windows suddenly stopped showing "Total editing time" of Microsoft Word documents. There's nothing wrong with Word; It's still counting the time and the Total editing time can be accessed from: Office Button -> Prepare -> Properties -> Advanced Properties -> Statistics tab -> Total editing time
But when I right-click the *.docx file and click Properties, in the Details tab, the Total editing time is blank.

MS Word Contract to List

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 07:23 AM PDT

I have a major contract for our company that is in MS Word.  I need to convert this contract unto a checklist to make sure that every sentence within the contract has been evaluated and signed-off.  At present, I am left justifying every sentence and hitting return at the end of each sentence to convert paragraphs into a list of sentences.  Is there a way to automatically have the software do the same thing (return at the end of each sentence) versus my doing this manually?

Can't open Word File because of end tag/start tag mismatch error...need help!

I get the following message when i try to open a word document that i desperately need

  The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag

Location: Part: word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 10275


I have no idea how to fix this and I have already tried using the microsoft Fix It tool. That did not help at all.  I have tried to do some XML coding myself but that didn't work either, probably because I don't really know what I am doing. I would really appreciate some help on this matter as I need the document for my exams.

Thanks. 

beginning of automatically syllable-didived word with protected hyphen at the end gets lost when printing or creating xps-file (not on the screen)

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 02:03 AM PDT

Hello,

my Problem: text resp. beginning of a word within som paragraphs is lost by word at the beginning of a line (after automatical linebreaks).

This happens not on the screen, only when printing (or creating an xps-file).

It happens only in a handful of words, maybe in 4 out of 500 paragraphs with the same style sheet format.

It has something to do with automatic syllable division and protected hyphens.

f.e. there is the word "documents-" (protected hyphen at the end). Mostly the printed mistakes happens, when such a word is automaitcally divided at the end of a line, so that at the screen it looks like this (correct):



but when i print the document (or create an xps-file), the first part  of the word ("docu") just gets lost, so that (incorrect):


 
It does not help to exklude the problematic words from spell checking. Also the changing style sheets is no solution.



What helps, is deactivating "automatic syllable division" for such singular paragraphs, then the version printed and one on the screen are identical, but this is always post hoc (after printing) and then you are never sure if you caught all of those mistakes.

Hoping for Help, Holger.


Can I get MS Word by itself for windows 8?

Perhaps I should edit the file of commonly confused words but I dont know where it is or what to do if I did find it.

 

Any ideas ?
