Two of us have been trying to DR our Firewall onto another machine today. The documents available on symantecs website are not clear or complete about the steps you need to do to make a safe DR copy. So far we’ve had to do the following…..
Bloggar 4 has been updated with a couple of patches and is available for download although the link on that page is broken. The download page should really read http://www.bloggar.com/download
Its a good job that noone in our office has run the antispyware beta apart from me as when I ran it on my machine it detected 10 spyware applications – most of them as false positives. The scariest thing is that it detects our vpn software as timbuktu pro. Now if our users decided to delete it…….
Activesync 3.8 is out. Not sure what changes have been made (although it does look like it may only work in xp it only says that in bold, but the next line details other os’s)
The latest version of technet is about to be shipped and the latest versions of the software no longer have time expiries which means you are not forced to hurry those exams through in less than 90 days, which is probably impossible if doing the whole of the MSCE course. Hopefully it comes with a version of Microsoft Virtual PC as that would be great to install the various pieces of software on one powerful machine for testing/rollback purposes and for also safely testing the reliability and effectiveness of their new AntiSpyware Software as per Mikes posting
I thought libraries were meant to be places of peace and quiet? So how come people are allowed to bring their mobiles in AND then stick them on loud at the bottom of the handbag so the entire library can listen to the first 3 bars of some slightly recognisable “pop” song 10 times?
I’ve been accused of being too technical in my blog posts, (mainly by nontechies though). Therefore I’ve considered splitting this blog into a techie/work related blog and a personal blog. However would you read one or the other,both, stop reading or even start reading? Comments please.
At a customer site, they had a fujitsu monitor that was really dark but when you went to change the contrast it came up with “OSD Locked”. The official manual that I could find for google said to press buttons 3 and 4 and power it on but this didn’t work. However holding down the select/menu button and pushing the power button and keep holding the select button down until the menu appears and hey presto, one unlocked osd! Repeat the process to lock it again.

Ever since yesterday, Firefox was giving me the message “There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk in ‘\Device\Harddisk1\DR6′” (see pic) whenever I tried to save a file in firefox (or in some cases open a file from the downloaded files dialog box.
I think this started when I removed my SD card from the card reader whilst Windows was still trying to write to it (oops!) as it complained (despite having done it a couple of secs after the app I was using (explorer) had updated its screen AND write caching is disabled on the drive)
A reboot of the box didn’t fix the problem and a search in google had lots of people with similar error messages but from different applications but no fix. However I found that by inserting the card back into the card reader and then using the stop hardware function in the notification area the problem, so far, seems to have gone away.
