    Arcserve 16.5 E1306 error : Unable to connect to the Tape Engine for server(xxx), EC=1722

    I thought I'd share. Got this error and read somewhere something about Storport driver being wrong. I remembered I got Windows Update to install driver for Dell TL4000 ( IBM 3573 library ?). It came as optional update for Windows 2012 R2. Thankfully we have similar setup at remote location so I...

    Domino 8xx on Windows 2008 R2 with data folder on a mapped network drive : error writing to pid.nbf

    Oh, And btw this also affects Domino folder links, the .dir would not work. Just tested and it seems creating a dir link works only by creating it manually. So the above fixes both issues. Depending on your UAC settings you might need to do a lof of right click Run as administrator.

    Domino 8xx on Windows 2008 R2 with data folder on a mapped network drive : error writing to pid.nbf

    We've installed a few virtual 2008 R2 boxes with Domino 853 running and data folder mapped to a netapp share. One server run for a few weeks and suddenly stopped working, other took couple of days, test server survived one reboot. Opened ticket with IBM. So far no fix. Hope the fix below works...

    Filer and Domain controller clocks are more than 5 minute apart

    I thought I'd share this tip, since it took me more then 3 days to get it fixed. Scenario: Netapp filer in Mexico can not be joined to a Active Directory domain because of the error above. Time was set manually and eventually was within 2 seconds of the Domain Controller. No go. Timezone on the...

    Sharp MX-4101N , M503N , M283N review

    I'm glad and quite surprised with all the replies. I guess next time before we commit I'd ask the management to do a pilot project. I guess Sharp would never be chosen had we done that.

    Sharp MX-4101N , M503N , M283N review

    kjv1611, Yup, that's what the Pitney Bows tech tells me every time I ask for a solution. He (they) keep saying: let's try this. Well I don't want to try, I want a step by step setup. I don't think my requirements are so "strange". They must be quite standard. We did try (grrrr) the "color user"...

    DPI font size VM on Hyper-V R2

    Hi, I created a bunch of virtual machines on 2008 Hyper-V R2. An issue came up when a user wanted to change the DPI setting or Font size in Display properties. On the Disaplay Settings tab the Advanced button is grayed out. This happens using Remote Desktop RDP client. It's the same for XP and...

    Sharp MX-4101N , M503N , M283N review

    Thx Fred, Yes, it was a breeze with Xerox. I don't like Xerox too much for other reasons (very expensive) but this setup was easy within the driver. Not really doable with Sharp.

    Sharp MX-4101N , M503N , M283N review

    I thought I'd share my frustrations with Sharp copiers. First of all milions of options on the admin web page but no access or view of the console. There is some obscure way to connect VNC (!!!) to a copier, but so far no success. There isn't even a graphical status of supplies ! The worst of...

    Hi, I posted this some time ago about An error occurred while importing this file : http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1595592&page=1 However one of the Windows updates killed this fix. I tried a few things but no go. This is the original post in case somebody is searching: I thought...

    An error occurred while importing this file tip or fix

    I thought I'd share this because I couldn't find any solution on the net. A user got this error trying to import .tag file into Powerpoint. It worked on couple of other PCs. Short research and a bit of luck and here is the solution for this particular problem, but would work probably for similar...

    Migrate Workspace desktop from 7.x to 8.5x

    Hi, I came up with a way to migrate desktop6.ndk to desktop8.ndk. I know Workspace should not be used in 8.xx but... I renamed the desktop8.ndk to destktop8.ndk_old. Of course I had copied the names.nsf, bookmark.nsf and desktop6.ndk from the previous 7.x installation. I didn't copy notes.ini...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    While replacing failed mobo for the second time in a month on a Dell 2600 I accidently pulled the floppy during ESM firmware update. The process disables keyboard, so I couldn't press Retry, ignore, fail :-( . That was Good Friday. Dell guy called tech support and they sent another one in about...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Haven't been able to do much about the problem lately. However I did update the firmware on the Library and drives. I didn't update SCSI card. The interesting thing is that I de-selected the library quick initialization in the device wizard, which I would think should force re-read of all media...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Yes of course, I was referring to CA. BTW did all the recommendations above and more. Still the same issue. I guess reinstall would do it. Thx

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    I think these are excellent ideas. Will try asap, after finishing test restore. We did move some data from the old Mammoth 2 tapes, speaking of horror stories, to LTO2. Will let you know. Just wondering where would the info about the devices be ? Registry ? I was thinking about total, clean...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Explanation for the above: No activity on the library - means nothing happens on the library, no movement or signs of life whatsoever. I can even see serial numbers of all tapes in the device tab, however the little tapees are turning forever saying "updating"..

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Well, thx for reply. However there is no activity on the library. Only it takes forever to get the tapes info. I got so cheesed I deleted the SQL DB and recreated new one. Imagine my surprise: jobs are still there (?). Where are they stored ? There used to be in the asjob db with the VLDB but...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Yes I did. I did another couple of test restores. Selecting more files and giving more timeout for next media in the restore options seems to work. However I need to test it a bit more. All of this takes forever because of the initialization of tapes after any reboot etc. Thx for your reply...

    v11.5 Library initialization takes few hours. Unless

    Hi. I've got two drive Dell LTO2 library. Should I restart server, reset the library or simply put in a bunch of tapes the initialization takes forever. If I import tapes one by one it kinda works quickly. Otherwise tape engin is sitting at "updating" even though the serial numbers of tapes are...
