In the IT business, sometimes what seems like a simple question can result in a few hours of work to get a satisfactory answer. The other day I was asked to look at why a query for all ActiveSync enabled users wasn't returning the correct results. The query was using the msExchOmaAdminWirelessEnable attribute. That attribute holds the values for the settings under user properties --> Exchange Features tab --> Mobile Services. (more…)

I just installed the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.1 plugin today and am testing it out.

This is a registry update file to make the changes mentioned in How to enable the Security tab for the organization object in Exchange 2000 and in Exchange 2003 (KB 264733, Q264733). I don't know why MS doesn't include the .reg file with all their KBs. It doesn't take long for me to create my own for something this simple, but still, I have to spend some time to create it and test.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Created by SysAdmin-E.com 2010-12-09 for Exchange Server 2003
; This is a PER USER setting under the HKCU key that will enable display of the security tab for the Org, Admin Groups, and Storage Groups.
; Based on instructions from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264733:
;  By default, the Exchange System Manager does not display the Security tab when you view the properties of the Organizational object.
;  To view the Security tab, you must enable it by editing the registry.
; Make sure you've opened up ESM at least once, per "Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Advanced Administration" by J. McBee, May 2006.
; You do not need to close or reopen ESM--the change is dynamic.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\EXAdmin]
"ShowSecurityPage"=dword:00000001

I was using a JavaScript script to open up a set of tabs for the sites of the TV channels that I normally watch. This allowed me to see the TV schedules in one IE session. The problem I started running into was that IE would crash occasionally or be very slow to load all the tabs. Eventually I got fed up with IE and wanted to find a way to do the same thing in Firefox.
