By adding the following to the registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\event]
@="http://eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=%s"
And then entering “event 1074” into my address bar it will take me straight to the eventid website with that event listed.
I’ve also had a couple of issues with exchange this week – MAPI client opens more than the default value of certain server objects occured for one user who has more that 500 folders in her inbox – I’ve increased the default value so that shouldn’t happen again.
Also the error Error: The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application Pool” AppPoolName: because of the following error: Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. The data may have additional error codes: should be fixed by kb article 332097 – a problem that has been occuring for a while with no known fix working (so here’s hoping)
Rob’s posted some cold photos and mentioned that he didn’t have his thermals when he went out for a walk. On Thursday night we had a similar experience when we went to the Columbus Zoo lights opening night. I didn’t have any thermals but I did have three pairs of pants on (thats trousers to the brits) a shirt, two sweatshirts and a coat so I was nice and warm under all the layers but it was freezing cold – too cold to take photos with the camera. We had a good time although it was extremely crowded – loads of people were there. Didn’t see (m)any animals but we had a great time and went back to Donatos pizza afterwards – delicious!
As if I didn’t need anything else to give me a headache, this Optical illusion is really weird. Thanks to /usr/bin/girl
I can’t believe what I’ve just been told by a banking advisor with Fifth Third – apparently you can’t send money from a Fifth Third account to another more up to date bank in the US via electronic payment. I’d love to know how money is meant to be moved from one account to another. Having asked to speak to a manager I get the same person on the phone telling me to do enter details that just do not exist on the website……And I thought the Royal Bank of Scotland Idiots was bad!
I was at a client site this afternoon and discovered that installing the latest patch as per the instructions doesn’t give the silent install that is meant to happen. You need to ensure you read the whole set of instructions first as otherwise you follow the steps and when you get to step 17 after setting the install off you then realise that the vpremote.dat needs editing FIRST! At this point you discover the silent install is extremely loud and colourful as the swearing echoes around the room as pc’s start to reboot with no warning whatsoever.
Whilst the server was down we also took the time out to prove the fact that if a voicemail message is left on the avaya IP Office system whilst the mail server is unreachable, then the user NEVER gets the voicemail. The voicemail box fails to queue the voicemail for delivery at a later date -something that the tech’s didn’t acknowledge as a problem. The fact that users could end up not receiving voicemails or have any trace of them yet the caller knows they left it seems a pretty major bug to me. I’m looking forward to bringing *that* up at the wrap up meeting.
It was a long day in the office today with an upgrade of a windows 2000 server running exchange2000 to a windows2003 running exchange2003. We also upgraded a w2k server running sqlserver to w2k3 too. The sql server was the easiest upgrade with no hitches whatsoever – shame we couldn’t say the same thing about the exchange server.
I think we’ve just purchased a house! Kristen saw a really nice house yesterday and I went back with her last night to look at it and it really was as good as she was raving about. We put an offer in that was accepted an hour or so ago and Monday we go back to the realtor for yet more paperwork. We also need to organise the inspection, title people, mortgage people and bank people and all that stuff (and find a ride on lawnmower) so its going to be a very busy week next week.
One of the best things about the house is that Kristen and I have agreed on the choice of houses all along – we’ve not had the stress of one of us liking one house and the other hating it – just shows how much alike we are and how perfect we are for each other….now onto some less sappy stuff 🙂
I’m actually surprised I’ve managed to blog this before Kristen has, but she has got more excitement lined up as she is now looking for a car!
Microsoft have launched their own version of a website that allows you to get access about event id’s. The advantage to this service is that it has links to the Microsoft knowledge base articles whereas you only get direct links if you pay eventid.net. Having said that, you do get extra peer input on problems with eventid.net
