GFI MailEssentials: “There was an error whilst opening the configuration database”
A fresh GFI MailEssentials Installation on a Windows Server 2008 x64 was done. After that, i tried to open the GFI MailEssentials Configuration and got the following error:
There was an error whilst opening the configuration database
How to get this fixed:
1. Stop the GFI MailEssentials Services and IIS Admin
2. Go into the MailEssentials\Data folder
3. In there, you should find two files called DLECache1.chc and DLECache2.chc
4. Move these two files into a new temporary directory
5. In the MailEssentials\Data folder, there should be also a file called dletemp.chc
6. Make two copies of the dletemp.chc file and name one of thecopies DLECache1.chc and the other DLECache2.chc
7. Try to delete as many Jet****.tmp files from the C:\Windows\Temp and %temp% directories. Some files might be in use, the important thing is to cut the number down.
8. Open the config.mdb file from GFI\MailEssentials with Acces and try the Compact and Repair tool.
9. Once done, please restart IIS Admin and the MailEssentials Services
After that procedure, you can open GFI ME Configuration without any errors...

Citrix: Launching Published App, System is starting Desktop instead
We migrated a Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 environment to XenApp 5.0 with Windows Server 2008. Everything worked fine, but one user could launch every app, but instead of the app, a Desktop was startet!
After some research, i found the solution. Run the following VB-Script on your Domain Controller and then reenter your Roaming Profile settings.
Const ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR = 1
Set objUser = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=user,ou=sales,ou=district,ou=company,dc=holding,dc=local")objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "userParameters", 0

New Transport and Routing FunctionalityWindows Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 2008) hangs on “Applying Computer Settings…”
I have a fresh installed Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition on a VMWare ESX 4i Host. I installed VMWare Tools and disabled IPV6 in the Network Settings. After that, i restarted the machine, bad idea!
The Systems hangs over 30 Minutes on "Applying Computer Settings...". Several resets didn't help. After i started the machine in "recovery mode" and disabled IPV6 trough a registry key, the machine is booting as it should.
here is the required registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\
Add a new DWord (32bit):
DisabledComponents with the value "ffffffff" (eight f )
Restart the Server and everything will be fine...
Citrix: move Data Store Access database to new server
You have to replace a Citrix Server, that hosts your Datastore Access Database? If you have a SQL-Server, i recommend to migrate to SQL, otherwise do the following steps to move the database:
- Copy the file MF20.mdb, usually found in c:\program files\citrix\independent management architecture\ to the new server (same path)
- Stop the IMA Service on the old server. Warning: All Citrix users will be disconnected!
- Open cmd on the new server and execute the dsmaint command.
exp. dsmaint config /user:username /password:password /dsn: "C:\program files\citrix\independent management architecture\mf20.mdb" - Restart the IMA Service on the new server
- On the old server, enter the following command in cmd
dsmaint failover <new server name> - Restart the IMA Service on the old server.
Your Access Database has now been migrated to the new server. Do not forget to update your backup software 
Exchange Server 2010 Beta1 erschienen
Vom Exchange Server 2007 Nachfolger "Exchange Server 2010" ist die erste Public Beta erschienen. Folgende Neuerungen bietet Exchange Server 2010:
New Rights-Protected E-Mail Functionality with Active Directory RMS
The following is a list of new rights-protected e-mail functionality with Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) that has been included in Exchange 2010:
- Transport rules to apply AD RMS protection to messages based on conditions.
- Persistent protection of attachments in rights-protected messages.
- Support for AD RMS templates.
- An Internet confidential AD RMS template for protection over the Internet.
- AD RMS protection for Unified Messaging voice mail messages.
New Transport and Routing Functionality
The following is a list of new transport and routing functionality that has been included in Exchange 2010:
- Cross-premises mail routing An organization can choose to outsource some of their mailboxes to a hosted solution while maintaining their on-premises deployment. For example, a university can choose to host the mailboxes for all faculty and staff in their on-premises deployment and use a hosted solution for student mailboxes. Exchange 2010 allows routing of messages between the on-premises and hosted mailboxes.
- Enhanced disclaimers Exchange 2010 lets you add disclaimers that can include hyperlinks, images, and HTML-formatted text. You can also insert Active Directory attributes that are substituted for the sender's attributes when a disclaimer rule is triggered.
- Transport rules integration with AD RMS Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to create rules that require AD RMS protection based on keywords or patterns.
- Moderated Transport Exchange 2010 provides an approval workflow for sending messages to recipients. When you configure a recipient for moderation, all messages sent to that recipient must go through an approval process.
- Shadow redundancy Messages that are submitted to an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server are stored in the transport database until the next hop reports successful delivery of the message. If the next hop doesn't report successful delivery and it fails, the message is resubmitted for delivery.
- Transport dumpster truncation based on log copy status When messages that are in the dumpster are replicated to all mailbox databases, they're removed from the dumpster.
- Latency SLA management Exchange 2010 Transport lets you measure service levels delivered relative to your service level agreement (SLA) goals. Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to measure latencies for each hop, as well as end-to-end latency.
- Transport database improvements Performance improvements in the Transport database result in reduced database I/O per second (IOPS) per message, which increases message throughput.
In Exchange 2010, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) has replaced the permissions model that was used in Exchange 2007. RBAC lets you define extremely broad or extremely precise roles and assignments based on the roles of your administrators and users, and the tasks they perform. Access to the cmdlets and parameters required to perform a task is granted by assigning the related RBAC management role to a user or universal security group. If you want to grant an administrator or user the ability to perform tasks in Exchange 2010, you must either add the administrator or user to a universal security group that already has been assigned a specific RBAC role, or you must assign the role directly to the administrator or user.
New High Availability Functionality
Exchange 2010 integrates high availability into the core architecture of Microsoft Exchange to enable customers of all sizes and in all segments to economically deploy a messaging continuity service in their organization.
Exchange 2010 combines the key availability and resilience features of cluster continuous replication (CCR) and standby continuous replication (SCR) into a single high availability solution that handles both on-site data replication and off-site data replication. Mailbox servers can be defined as part of a Database Availability Group to provide automatic recovery at the individual mailbox database level instead of at the server level. Each mailbox database can have up to 16 copies.
The following features in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) no longer exist in Exchange 2010:
- Local continuous replication (LCR)
- Single copy clusters (SCC)
New Messaging Policy and Compliance Features
Exchange 2010 compliance features make retention independent of users' mailbox management and filing habits, and these features ensure retention policies are applied continuously. The following is a list of new messaging and compliance features that have been included in Exchange 2010:
- New interface for applying retention policies
- Auto tagging for retention policies
- Mailbox search features for cross-mailbox search with Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) support
- New transport rules predicates and actions
