If the current mailbox store is corrupt (but mountable) and you cannot repair it.. Dismount mailbox store. Move pri1.x and logs to a backup folder. Create recovery group, put db on drive with enough space. Click recovery group and select Add db to recover. Select svr. In db tab change .edb and .stm files to match original names (pri1.x ?) Click ok. Goto that location (no files should be there), copy original .edb and.stm files in from backup folder. These match the names the we edited when we created recovery store. Mount recovery store (yes to warning msg). Refresh and you should see mailboxes. Mount original store. "Warning files are missing and will create blanks".. this is what we want.. click Yes Click mailboxes and refresh.. none should be there apart from system created ones. Go back to recovery store, mailboxes. Select a mailbox to move back and select exchange tasks. Select next to "Merge data", next to end. They are now in original store.

I have an Apple iPhone 4. I got the phone in DEC 2011. something like two weeks later i had to take it back to apple. pictures all came out really yellow... horrid! They swapped it out easy as pie.. the second one a few months later then started to reboot itself randomly!! Went back to apple, they swapped it again. thrid time lucky hay? 14/062012 my third phone died! wouldnt turn on. eventually it did and said connect to itunes. tried couldnt get it to restore. nothing, worked. friend apple geek tried too... Went back to Apple, waisted ages waiting as you do, they wouldn't swap it because it was out of its 1 year warranty. i explained how this was the thrid faulty iPhone and how dissatisfied i was. This went on for awhile, they only offered me a replacement for £120, I was sure they said upgrade to a 4s too. I didnt accept as i didnt believe apple should be asking for more money when their product quality control and reliability has been so shockingly poor. I ended up walking o

Very helpful and i have used this myself a few times. Thought i would share the information. I would like to add, that you can use Multiple servers, not just one DC and Exchange. Migrate SBS 2003 To Windows 2008 & Exchange 2010

As you may have noticed in 2008, 2011 & Win7 the shared icon was removed by Microsoft. You can enable this again without hacks, but Microsoft have built in   a column. Right click a column and select “More”, Scroll down to “S” and you will see three new options. The two worth using are; “Sharing Status” = “Shared” OR “Not shared” “Shared with” = “Administrators, Domain Users” etc

I just got my BT infinity installed. We were told 28mb i actually ended up getting 25mb, not bad, and all for £20 per month, which includes free calls too. BT told us they could move the home hub to another room, they also confirmed it was cat5 cable which seemed right due to even BT moaning about copper and signal loss and how "the modem must be connected to the master socket". However today the BT enginner just chanegd the faceplate and attached another telephone cable to the back of it, up to the other room. They then just attached a socket with a modem port. no data\cat5 cable!! hmm... who knows if i lose some signal in this extension.. Still im happy with 25mb.. Seems they do do traffic shaping, torrents are limited to <80kbps, at 5pm dead it shot up and bounced around.. very disappoint, i did know it was possible i would notice however people i had asked said they have had no issues. Gamble i took and lost. Another little moan is, two boxes, a modem and hu

I have an iPhone 4, with 4.3.3, its Jailbroken so i haven't upgrading since. Now IOS5 is out i want to upgrade the thing, the new features seem great even the simple feature of now being able to create photo albums!! That always annoyed me! I have held of so far upgrading as there is no untethered jailbreak out and i cant use the thing without certain apps. I hope the untethered version is out soon! I feel left behind!!
