Because the using good tools and ideas to observe there system.

currently i’m on the way to deploy a Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal server farm. One server is already up and running productive and the other is one step before going online. I work a lot of with GPO’s and user roaming profiles, to ensure to have excatly the same configuration on the new server for all users. Also i use control panel restrictions to display only neccessary .CPL’s to the user.

And one special control panel addin, what is shipped with the MS Office suite ML32CFG.CPL (responsilbe for configuring MS Outlook MAPI Profile), i discovered how important it is, to ensure that applications have to be installed in the same order as on the other terminal servers. Why, you may ask….because, of the 8dot3-names (8.3) and the windows internal file/path handling. In some cases the OS calls an an application it tries to use the 8dot3 path / name.

The control panel addin on the new server was registered successfully during the installation, and i could open it. But if i tried to open the CPL with my test user, what is already using the saved roaming profile, the addin would not open. Also the icon in the control panel window was different against to the other server.

So what happend? With Sysinternals Process Moinitor (PROCMON.EXE) I did a little bit research on both servers, and found out that the 8dot3 name of the MS Office path between both servers is different because i didn’t keep in mind the order, how i installed the applications on the new TS.

Server 1: (C:PROGRA~2\MICROS~1\Office12\MLCFG32.CPL)

Server 2: (C:PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\Office12\MLCFG32.CPL)

To solve the problem, i had no chance uninstall the application what occupies the 8dot3 name, uninstall office and reinstall office and the other application again. After reinstalling MS Office suite, the right 8dot3 name was assigned tho the new installation.

Sound’s very interesting and i’ll give them a try.

This is really a nice Tool to find existing Group Policies easily. The Group Policy Search

Thank’s Daniel for that helpful information.

everyone knows it’s very annoing if you have to login to multiple websites during work days. It would be much easier to have a tool tool, what helps us to automate the login process to websites like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Onlinebanking, etc.., where i am registered to. That would safe time and increases workflow and you don’t need to consider about passowrds anymore. Before this article i used a very simple tool to manage my passwords. I also heard and tested Keepass in the past, but it brought no advantage on my workflow.

Now I found this tool via Lifehacker.com RSS-Feeds. I was assured by this tool as i finished reading this article. KeeFox closes the gap between Firefox and Keepass, to automate website logins. It’s a very young Firefox Add-On but it works perfekt for me, and i already switched over to it. If you are a Fan of Keepass, and Firefox is your browser of choice than you have the perfect package, in conjunction with KeeFox.

Here are some action shots from KeeFox:

Because Outlook doesn’t offer any internal routines to export vCards and the WWW doesn’t offer any suitable freeware, too, i made up my mind and a simple vCard export method was born. This method requires no plugin’s additonal software or something else!

PST to vCard export steps:

1. Navigate to your contacts you want to export and select them.

2. Now Right-Click the selected contacts and choose: “Send as business card”

3. An new e-Mail opens with each the vCards (.vcf) in the attachment field.

4. Click on a free space within the attachment area and select all exported contacts with Ctrl+A

5. Drag & Drop the selected business cards to a folder on the filesystem

6. Vioala… the export is done!

What else can i told you about this tool. All options are configured trough an INI file, you can configure an application timeout, wich ends the debug chooser after a time period and launches the selected application. Its a tiny little application, what saves a lot of work if you have to work with multiple debugger. But it also runs stand alone as well and you mustn’t register it to AeDebug

Here is an sample how the debug chooser is called over the taskmanager.

Please feel free to download it, test it and post me some comments, or feature request for this tool.

My tool works as follows…. Just simply implement this tool during the logon process or where else you need it, and if it’s called, the tool parses the “sdp.ini” file. If there is a valid entry, then a set default printer call will be executed through the tool. It always follows the order: Local computer, remote computer and username. So the local computer is always the highest value in the hierachy.
