September 10th, 2009Can’t delete a user from Unity Connection
August 20th, 2009This week we closed one of our satellite offices and therefore I had to remove the office from, among other things, Cisco Unity Connection. I started deleting the users and hit a problem when I tried to delete the Operator User. The error I receive was:
“Operation cannot be completed because the object is in use”
Now since I had just finished removing this office from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager box, I expected to have the option in Unity to actually see what object is using the User that I’m trying to delete, as I did in UCM. But no such luck.
Monitoring WildBlue Satellite Usage
August 2nd, 2009Where I live I have no access to cable or DSL for broadband internet. My choices are dial-up or satellite, so the decision is clear, I went with satellite through WildBlue. I signed up with them through Dish Network since they’re a partner. I’m mentioning this because what I’m about to explain, I’m pretty sure won’t work if you’re a direct WildBlue customer or have signed up through another one of their partners. So, bottom line, if you have WildBlue through dish Network read on. I’ll show you how to monitor your bandwidth usage directly from your desktop.
Can’t initiate manual scan with Symantec Endpoint Protection
July 30th, 2009Received a call yesterday that the users can no longer start a manual virus scan on their workstations. Clicking the Active Scan or Full Scan options on the Scan for Threats dialog produced nothing. No scan, no error, nothing.
All clients are running Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 MR4 and the policies on the SEP server have not been changed. Virus definitions are coming down fine, admin scans are running, it’s just the users can’t start a scan manually.
What caused it?
Fixing the D-Link DCS-950G wireless function
July 29th, 2009I’ve had this camera up and running about a year ago. Since then, it’s been powered off and not used. Today I decided to connect it back up and could not get the wireless working. So I did a factory reset by holding the reset button in for 10 seconds and also upgraded the firmware to 1.08. But even after doing that I still couldn’t get the wireless working.
