I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but.... I'm looking for a utility to load on a user's home machine such that it can be configured to trigger a VPN connection when an RDP session to their work computer is launched. I'd also like it to hang up the VPN connection when the RDP...

ITSP: Thanks for your reply but this is not a BSOD issue. It simply turns itself off with no error codes or indications as to why. No updates were applied so I know that's not it. It just seems to have decided to abitrarily shut itself down as the event log entry indicates.

I have an unlicensed (180 day) trial of 2012 installed on a new HP server. It was running normally for a few days then it shutdown yesterday for no apparent reason. Event log showed: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Date: 6/5/2013 12:42:06 PM Event...

Thanks for the reply linney. I've seen both links. The first link is pretty generic and doesn't address the issue. The second is an entirely different issue. Thanks for the input just the same.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Does anybody know if there's any way to save the sort order for favorites in IE 9? I have a user with a lot of favorites that he has manually sorted. Whenever we have to change him to a new computer or reload his existing machine he has to manually re-sort them again. Is there any way to save...

Everyone, Good Point! I'll check and see if indeed the numerical values are being exported as text. I know he's doing < or > tests on the numbers. Odd though that when he saves it as the older format (xls) it works and that he never had this problem with Excel 2007.

Office 2010 Pro on Windows 7 64bit A user has been complaining that conditional formatting doesn't work in Excel 2010 on certain files. The only way he can get it to work is if he saves as an older format (xls). He found one possible link is that the problem files are always exports from...

58sniper: Thanks for the reply, I just found other forums that confirm what you said. Much appreciated - Thanks.

I'm trying to add a new 2008 R2 DC to a 2003 (native) domain. This not the first 2008 DC in the domain yet I'm getting a failure because it says I have to run adprep /forestprep. But I shouldn't have to do that again, should I? The first 2008 DC is not R2, does that make a difference? Does...

I recently renewed the cert on the exchange server where LCS is also installed. I thought it would cover both OWA and LCS but the old cert expired today and LCS stopped working. I tried restarting the service but it wouldn't start with event ID 12299 and a code indicating cert problems. From...

Recently we've been seeing spam being relayed off our front end server. I've checked and double-checked to make sure the settings are correct such that we are not an open relay. I was also able to confirm our non-relay status on MXToolbox.com. Yet I'm still seeing all this garbage going...

I just stop and restart the Default Website.

Backend: Exchange 2003 Enterprise Sp2 on Windows 2003 SP2 Frontend: Same except Exchange is Std. Weird things happening since recent patching of these 2 servers (coincidence?). After patching both everything seemed OK but about 8 hours later ActiveSync stopped working. I was getting Event...

'Not working at all' means he enters his parameters into the conditional formatting dialog and applies them and nothing happens, no formatting changes occur. He has rechecked the settings and says they are correct. If he saves the new file as an older format (97-2003) the formatting works fine.
