Error re(installing) certificate services

Symptom: When you try to install certificate services over a Windows 2003 Server you get the following error

An error was detected while configuring Certificate Services. The Certificate Services Setup Wizard will need to be rerun to complete the configuration. Certificate Services Setup failed with the following error: A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on. 0x8007041b (WIN32: 1051)

Solution: Windows setup tries to Stop the IIS Admin Service, but it fails. Manually Stop this service prior to the installation.

Note: This happened to me because of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

Outlook 2010 missing features

Cause: You install Outlook 2010 "standalone" in a computer with a previous version of Office installed / you upgrade only the Outlook program of your Office suite.

Symptom: Some features of Outlook 2010 are missing, and the corresponding configuration options and/or buttons are disabled or greyed out.

Workarounds: I found this interesting article over the web suggesting some workarounds.

Many thanks to the authors (but I'd preferred them not to be sarcastic over searching the web before purchasing).

Chi ha lasciato il bilanciamento del bianco impostato manualmente?

Sono molte le coppie che condividono la passione per la fotografia.

Tuttavia non sempre è possibile, per ragioni di costo e di spazio, avere un corpo macchina SLR digitale per ciascuno.

In questo caso sarebbe auspicabile che i produttori di macchine fotografiche digitali, che ora integrano diversi dispositivi nelle fotocamere, come ad esempio il ricevitore gps per geotaggare le foto, includessero anche un lettore di impronte digitali.

Una volta registrata l'impronta (volendo anche tramite un computer dotato anch'esso di lettore) la fotocamera potrebbe registrare anche l'autore nelle metainformazioni del file immagine: e fine delle discussioni sull'autore del capolavoro.

Inoltre la macchina potrebbe ricordarsi come era impostata l'ultima volta che è stata utilizzata da quell'utente, un po' come fanno certe autovetture di fascia alta che una volta riconosciuto il guidatore regolano automaticamente altezza dei sedili e posizione degli specchietti . Ogni fotografo ha le sue abitudini ed i suoi trucchi, e così avrebbero fine anche le discussioni per aver lasciato il bilanciamento del bianco manuale o una sovraesposizione d'abitudine.

Non è possibile creare una regola di trasporto disclaimet in Exchange Server 2010

Sintomi:

Quando si cerca di aggiungere una regola di trasporto di tipo disclaimer ad Exchange Server 2010 sp1 la MMC va in crash con il seguente errore:

Workaround:

Seguendo le istruzioni nelle seguenti pagine web è possibile creare la regola tramite Exchange Management Shell e poi modificarla tramite MMC.

L'unico accorgimento da prendere in aggiunta a tale articolo è che ho messo a false la proprietà abilitato.

Disclaimer Title

This is the disclaimer text.

SQLDMO.DLL

A customer application needs to administer a SQL2000 server. If you want to run that administration utility from a pc on wich you don't have SQL Server installed you get an error stating you don't have SQLDMO.DLL registered.

To have it registered you can follow these instrucions:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B248241&x=17&y=8

Remember you can find the dll in the folloqing folder:

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn

Perhaps you may want to recreate this path in the local machine.

SBS 2008 Fax Server Disabled

Hi, this one was a rather annoying problem, as it seemed to be a client issue but it was not. I struggled to find clues on the internet, and none helped me. Since i solved it on my own I'd like to share... you can never know.

Symptoms:

• Clients cannot send faxes with Archive media error. You change the archiviation folder in client settings, but nothing happens.
  
• The fax server doesn't send or receive anything. Looking at the properties you find that all activities are disabled (general tab). If you try to remove the disable flags you receive an "Unexpected error".
  
• In the event viewer you find an "Access Denied" error related to the archiviation folder.
  You try to change the archiviation folder on the server, but the Browse button is greyed out. If you run the Fax Management Console with elevated privileges you can browse the folders, but whatever folder you choose you receive an Access Denied error.
  

Solution:

As a matter of fact the Fax service cannot get access ti the archive folder or to the configuration data, so it becomes disabled. I don't know why it worked before but in order to make it work again I had to change the Connection properties of the Fax service from Network Account to Local System Account. After restarting the service i got access to the archive folder and could reactivate services.

hope this helps

Error 404.17 opening *.asmx page

Symptoms:

You have an application working with IIS 7 and .Net Framework 1.1.
When you browse a .asmx page you get error 404.17 :

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not FoundThe requested content appears to be script and will not be served by thestatic file handler.

Problem:
The site is not propely configured to handle Asp.Net extensions.

Solution:
In IIS Manager click on the problematic site.
Under "Handler Mappings" find the association for the asmx extesion.
If it is missing you can force inheritance from the father site or server by clicking "Restore Inheritance". Now, if you can see the mapping with the correct .net dll (verify the path to the right framework folder) th page should be correctly opened.
If not, invesigate the parent's Mappings.
