Outlook 2007 Mutliple Accounts

We have someone here set up with multiple accounts in Outlook 2007. We don't have an exchange server. When this person sends a meeting request from the non default account, it says it's from [non default email] on behalf of [default email].

My temporary (maybe permanent) solution is to have him switch his default account whenever he needs to send out a meeting request.

Is there anyway to stop this?

• The way we have solved this is to create another E-mail account under Account Settings. When you do that, a drop down will appear under the Send button when creating a new email. It will say Account. Change the checkmark to the appropriate account.

Cleaning Thunderbird Inbox of old viruses

I am running BitDefender and it seems to be picking up stuff that Norton never mentioned. The problem is that BD reports a number of old viruses in my inbox that it says it can't disinfect because they've been archived.

I assume these are all messages that have been deleted (some go back to 2006). So I thought compressing my inbox would get rid of them. But so far BD is still reporting them.

To make things even more confusing, Thunderbird seems to be using both my Application Data/Thunderbird and Application Data/Mozilla (the directory I used before, and which I told Thunderbird to keep using). Both of which were updated today!

Since there are a few hundred of these messages, I would really like to clean things up.

Oh, and my two inboxes are too big to edit! Ideas, tools, etc., would be appreciated, as I'm not sure which questions to ask.

From serverfault Paul Morrison

• Classic case for the Tiresome Manual Binary Chop pattern. Remember to back up first. Complexity is something like O(m log n), with m the number of viruses and n the number of messages. You can probably speed things up a bit by dealing only with messages that have attachments.

  Avery Payne : You mean this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search

  Paul Morrison : What is the relevance of this answer? What tool can I use to clean up the Inbox(es)? Sorry to be dumb!

  Avery Payne : He's saying "make a backup, sort your stuff by hand for attachments to create a primitive filter, then go over only the stuff you've 'filtered' to cut down on the time involved", if I'm understanding this correctly.
  From $pageUsers[$post.author].name

• When you say "compressing your inbox", do you mean "compacting your folders"? You should definitely compact your Inbox if you haven't done so already. You can even set Thunderbird to do so automatically Every Once In A While (Preferences > Advanced > Network & Disk Space > "Compact folders when …" — why this isn't already configured this way, I'm not sure). This might not solve your problem, but it's hopefully a starting point.

  Paul Morrison : Thanks Paul - it was switched off for some reason. Any idea what the previous answer means?!

  Paul Fisher : Sorry for not getting back sooner. Thunderbird doesn't compact folders at all by default, and I'm not sure why.

Subversion Client for Windows Vista

Can someone recommend me, free if possible, subversion client for Vista?

From serverfault Sergio del Amo

• tortoiseSVN is very good.

  GreenKiwi : If you find you are having performance problems, you can disable caching in TortoiseSVN and that can improve machine performance.

  squillman : Aye, is the way to go! +1

  Brian Knoblauch : Only downside is that they release updates frequently, and they require machine reboots (it's exceptionally rare for me to reboot my Vista dev box, other than windows updates, tortoise updates, and the occasional BSoD).

  GreenKiwi : Actually, I find that the reboots aren't really needed. Particularly on the updates.

  Ryan Bolger : Just because there are frequent updates doesn't mean you have to apply them. If there's nothing changed that you need, just skip it. I much prefer frequent updates to glacial updates though. Active projects are good.

• SubClipse is great if you are using Eclipse.

  CoverosGene : update site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x Subversive (http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/) is another Eclipse option.

  Jon St. John : Thanks - guess since I'm new I can't post links yet.
  From Jon St. John

• There is always the trusty command line version of svn. I use this in addition to GUI versions, I have run into too many instances where the GUI version has a problem and I have to resort to the command line to fix it.

  I have also used SmartSVN and been very happy with it. It is more of a full fledged client, rather than an extension to the explorer. This has some benefits, in that it will monitor and show you all your current changes and those pending changes.

  From GreenKiwi

• I really like VisualSVN if you're using Visual Studio. It's free for a 30 day trial, then $49. Well worth the 50 bucks, in my opinion.

  If you have to have free, and using Visual Studio, try AnkhSVN. I've used it before, and it works fine.

  Redbeard 0x0A : +1 for the VisualSVN client for Visual Studio. Excellent product, even their *FREE* server product is awesome.

  Brian Knoblauch : I've heard good things about AnkhSVN, but I couldn't get it working on my system.

  Bert Huijben : @Brian: At the AnkhSVN support mailing list we don't have any open installation Issues. Can you tell us about your problem? (Not much we can do if we don't hear of our (possible) users :))
  From Nathan DeWitt

• Subcommander has been very helpful for me; it too is a full-on client as opposed to an Explorer extension. The GUI is a little non-inutitive at first, but it works great otherwise.

  From yalestar

• Probably not the answer you look for, but the Subversion does include a client when you install it: the svn command. It is an excellent client when you get used to it. Combined with a merge tool for handling conflicts you have all the power from your keyboard.

  From tronda

• Tortoise is great. Having both is not a problem, and many environments, such as Netbeans, will take full advantage of the command line interface if you have it.

  From Philip

• I use SlikSVN on Windows 7 (So I imagine it'd work fine on Vista). It's a command line client, and does exactly the same as the unix SVN. I also use TortoiseSVN for gui goodness - there's no reason you can't use both.

What steps do I need to perform to host a ASP.NET web service publicly?

I am really a programmer and new to web development field. I am tasked with creating a web service which must be publicly hosted (on internet) and which one of your application will use when needed.

I have developed the web service (using ASP.NET/WCF) and have tested it by hosting it on one of the server in INTRANET. The service uses a database which MUST be installed in organisation intranet only (some sensitive data). I am now confused as how to proceed to host it on internet. Please can you guide about the steps I need to perform?

From serverfault Hemant

• If it's been tested and you're happy with it working then you need to work with your security folk to have connections to it allowed through the firewall on HTTP / HTTPS.

  If you're doubling as the security folk, then what I would recommend is to put it in a DMZ off of your firewall, keeping the database server inside the firewall. You would then need to create an incoming path for the database connections from your DMZ web server (that hosts the web service) through the internal interface of the firewall to your db server.

  If you post more details regarding the technologies you're using (MySQL / MS SQL, are you the security person, etc) then more details can be provided on how to implement this.

  Hemant : I am using SQL Server 2008 Express edition as database server. I am not a security person or network administrator so honestly, I didnt understand the term DMZ. Please can you elaborate a bit?

  Hemant : Oh! and thanks for the earlier answer :)

  squillman : Ok, no problem. Can you please edit your question to include a little more information regarding your network setup? What are you using for a firewall? Will you be the one making the configuration change to allow access to the web service?
  From squillman

• If you have successfully tested it on the intranet of your organisation then to expose it to the internet is relatively straight forward, you just need host the application on a publicy accessible server.

  It is common to have publicly accessible site use a database back end which is hosted securely inside hte organisations firewall and have only the application access this database through a secure channel, therefore exposing as little as possible.

  So basically to expose an application on the internet, all you need to is deploy it on an Internet accessible server, the same way as you hav done on the internet. Obviously as this is now available to all you need to make sure your site is secure and not going to expose the database to attack.

Completely remove .Net 3.0 install

What do I do if .NET Framework is not installing?

Trying to install .Net framekwork 3.5 but it complians that 3.0 is not present.

However, when trying to install 3.0: the installer complains that 3.0 is in fact installed.

• Add/Remove programs doesn't list 3.0 (When I tried to uninstall it, I got a message saying the install program coulnd't be found and did I want to remove it from Add/Remove programs, I said yes).
• I'm sure this is registry problem but I can't find any associated keys.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT: Solved I ran the ".NET cleanup tool" found from this question: What do I do if .NET Framework is not installing?

So, since this question is essentially a duplicate, shoudl I delete it or wait for an admin to close it?

From serverfault cbrulak

• Are you running the upgrade for the .NET Framework?

  EDIT
  Try running the .NET cleanup tool.

  RSolberg : This is the answer from your post. No reason to delete the question as its always good to have a different question that leads you to the answer.

  Kara Marfia : Agreed. Tho it'll probably save someone some time if you notch an answer.
  From RSolberg

• As the 3.5 SP1 installer contains 2.0 and 3.0 that shouldn't be needed anyway... have you tried the full offline setup instead of the bootstrapper (which only downloads what it thinks you need)?

  cbrulak : yes I have, but no luck

SQL Server 2005: Copy SQL Server Agent Job?

I have a SQL Server Agent job comprised of 10 steps and each step has many parameters defined. Now I need another job almost exactly the same, but with a few differences. Since "copy / paste" isn't an option for jobs, I'm looking for suggestions on what would be the best way to create a new job based on the first.

Edit: I just noticed that I can right-click and "Script Job As". I suppose one option would be to do just that and edit the script for my changes. I'm still curious as to if there are any other (better?) options as well.

From serverfault Chris_K

• I don't think there is a better option than scripting your job. You can modify the script as required and reapply it to any number of SQL instances (always backup your system databases before apply scripts).

  Chris_K : This seems to be the best way to go when copying jobs in the same instance.
  From SuperCoolMoss

• You may find the SQL Server Integration Services Task, Copy Job to be of use.

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137568(SQL.90).aspx

  Chris_K : I had looked at that, but it doesn't seem to help me copy a task on the same instance. I guess I could copy from instance a to instance b, rename and modify and then copy back but with my ADD issues I'm sure to lose track of what I'm doing halfway through! :-)

Recover Outlook PST files

I have a 6 GB Outlook file that won't load in Outlook any more. I am not sure what recovery options I have available. I downloaded one recovery tool demo which shows some but not all mail messages.

Are there any tools that have worked for you? Can I import the PST files directly into another software?

EDIT: I have tried scanpst quite a few times but it fails to recover the file.

From serverfault aleemb

• See the official Microsoft page for some more info on this and a possible solution using Outlook 2007:

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932086

  There's also a bunch of free/commercial tools for splitting PST files, e.g:

  http://www.splitpstfile.com/

  aleemb : The PST file splitter should come in very handy! At least now I can divide and conquer.
  From Jon

• Have you tried SCANPST.exe - its part of the office install and is used to recover corrupt PST's Sometimes known as the inbox repair tool The common install path is

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12

  From UndertheFold

• Always try ScanPst.exe first, but it doesn't always mange to recover the PST.

  At this point you are left with a vast array of commercial options starting at around $70, I've had success with recoverytoolbox.com

  But your experience will obviously vary. The recovery process will take a LONG time (5-10 hours) due to the size of your PST file - in the future you may consider archiving it to make maintenance on the file quicker!

  PS Since 2003 the maximum size for a .pst is 20GB

  From Jon Rhoades

• Here you must use PST File Splitter Software to first split that 6 GB file into small files & then start the recovery process using some efficient PST Repair Software. You can opt for following softwares:-
