uninstall officescan

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Suppose you have to uninstall Trend Micro OfficeScan without knowing the administrator password. In most cases it’s enough to set a new password in Ofcscan.ini. The ini file is located in C:OfficeScan or C:Program FilesTrend MicroOfficeScan dependin on the installation process config. Find the line starting with Uninstall_Pwd= and replace it with:

Uninstall_Pwd=70

When asked for a password during uninstall, enter “1″. On one computer this workaround did not work. One of my colleagues found the solution, by commenting the line starting with Master_Pwd=.

#Master_Pwd=......

cyrus mailbox recovery

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Inconsistencies in mailboxes occur rarely, but they occur. There are three main reasons for an inconsistency:

• An email file deleted on the server (by an admin)
• Email files copied in the mailbox dir (back-up of emails deleted by the user)
• Corrupted files (disk errors, broken communication)

Emails are stored in files named like 8242. and there are two files that keep track of emails: cyrus.header and cyrus.index. If an email is missing on the server but it appears in these files, your user won’t be able to get email headers from the server. Outlook will report a 0x800CCC90 error while receiving mails, and Squirrelmail will say ERROR: Could not complete request. Unknown response from IMAP server: 1.* OK Message 8242 no longer exists.

To fix this problem you should use the tool called reconstruct. It searches for email files and updates the header and index file. Depending on your distribution of Linux, reconstruct can be found in different directories. In my case it was in /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd. reconstruct must be ran as the user cyrus, otherwise it will mess up dir permissions. Supposing you want to repair the mailbox of the user dummy, here are the commands you should use:

su cyrus
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r user.dummy

Spre deosebire de UPC, la RDS torrentele nu sunt limitate in timpul zilei. Un debit de 4.56Mbps mi se pare excelent pentru un abonament de 15$.

deletemailbox: Permission denied

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Having to disable some email accounts using cyradm, I’ve issued the command dm user.old_account. The response was deletemailbox: Permission denied. It seems that for security reasons the admin users don’t have permission to delete an account.

Assigning “d” access level (Delete a message and/or the mailbox itself) still doesn’t fix the problem. You have assign “c” (Create a new mailbox below the top-level mailbox) access level in order to delete an account. Here is the commands you need to delete the account “old_account”:

cyradm -u cyrus localhost
sam user.old_account cyrus c
dm user.old_account

Azi am avut placerea sa ma joc prima oara cu un MacBook Pro. Interfata e foarte fancy, se misca rapid dar tot nu as da 2000euro pe un Core2 Duo la 2.4GHz, 2GB ram si OS bazat pe BSD. Mai jos doua filmulete amuzante despre viitoarele produse Apple:
