Need to run a though Anti Virus scan on your PC (or Mac) ?
I would suggest the excellent Malwarebytes to compliment your Antivirus product.
To download, install and run Malwarebytes just follow these simple instructions :
First head over to the Malwarebytes home page and get the free download.
You should see the following on the homepage :
When you try to view Organisational Units or public folders and you have more than 500, not all are visible and you get the message “There are more results available than are currently displayed”. This is because Microsoft have limited the results to 500 and you cannot get more results.

I just thought I’d post a quick help guide for those struggling with remote sites that have no site-to-site VPN. For what ever reason the site has no VPN you can get new users logged into a domain.
I’ve been looking after a site that has remote users and due to the fact the remote office is shared with other companies, it is not possible to set up a site-to-site VPN. In the past we have setup new computers at head office, got the user to log-in and then ship the PC to site. Once on the remote site, they can log in and connect to the VPN to get access to the network shares. This is becoming more difficult as new users are starting at the remote location and need to log in for the first time from there. Continue reading
I was trying to uninstall Microsoft Exchange 2013 after moving to Exchange 2016 but kept getting the error “This mailbox server is responsible for generating an offline address book” in the Readiness checks.
I ran ‘Get-Mailbox – Arbitration’ to verify all the mailboxes had been moved.
Nothing appeared to be pointing at the old server and I could not find any mailboxes on the server.
In the end I ran ADSIEdit and found under Configuration > services> Microsoft Exchange > First Organisation> Address List Container > Offline Address Lists that the Offline Address Book had a reference to the old server. Continue reading
I was asked why when someone sets up an email forward from one user to another in Exchange Management Console, the original user does not get a copy and there is no option to “Deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox”.
I was trying to install Exchange 2013 SP1 on a freshly installed Windows 2016 server when I received an error running the Exchange 2013 readiness checks.

When clicking on the link for more information I received the most helpful information “Sorry but we haven’t added content for this Exchange 2013 readiness check yet”. Continue reading
Today I got a delivery of a new Dell PowerEdge R430 and needed to install Windows 2016 Standard on it.
I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft and created a bootable USB pen using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool, but Dell’s LifeCycle controller refused to recognise the USB drive.
The ISO was 5.47 Gb so would not burn to a standard DVD and I needed to deliver this server to my client the following day.
If you have a DrayTek with Firmware Damage and a warning “the router will die after reboot” read on to learn how to resolve it.
I have been flashing some DrayTek routers after I received an advisory from DrayTek about new critical firmware updates.
The first few went as expected with minimal downtime until one, a DrayTek 2830, disconnected midway through the upload of the firmware.
The web page of the router came back with an error “session disconnect”.
When I reloaded the page and logged back in I got the message:
I’ve had a few request lately asking me how to archive emails so I thought I’d put a post up with the instructions I created.
Open Outlook 2010 and go to the “File” menu and under “Cleanup Tools” option select Archive.
