How To Rename Desktop Icon on Blackberry

After connecting your Blackberry to a BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) to receive your corporate email over a secured connection, the default name given to your corporate inbox is "Desktop." Although this name serves its purpose, it's a bit impersonal. A BES administrator has the ability to do just about everything on your Blackberry from forcing the use of a password to preventing you from downloading new ringtones. However, she cannot change the name of your BES email account on your phone, but you can.


Difficulty:
 
Easy

Instructions


things you'll need:


  • USB cable
  • Desktop Manager
    • 1
      Connect your Blackberry to the computer you use for work by connecting one end of the USB cable to the computer and the other end of the cable to your Blackberry.
    • 2
      Open the Desktop Manager software by going to "Start" and then navigating to "Programs," then "Blackberry" on the computer. Every user connected to the BES has Desktop Manager installed on their computers to allow for tethered syncing.
    • 3
      Click on "E-Mail Setting" and then click on "Advanced E-Mail Settings." Change the email name to your desired name and then click on "Okay" to update the device in Dessktop 6 Choose Device Options and Enterprise E-mail.

Exchange Server 2007 Transport: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources

Exchange Server 2007 Transport: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources


In my hotel room in Orlando, getting ready for a presentation tomorrow morning at TechMentor. When trying to telnet to the SMTP port of an Exchange Server 2007 Hub Transport server, I got the following error:
452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources
Not a good thing the night before a presentation – Murphy’s law at work again!
The Application Event Log has Event ID 15002 from MSExchangeTransport saying “The resource pressure is constant at High. Statistics… “. The event goes on to tell you thatinbound mail submission has stopped, and it’s due to disk space being low on the volume where the queue database is located.

Figure 1: Event ID 15002 logged by MSExchangeTransport
Exchange Server 2007 transport queues are not the familiar .eml files you see in Exchange Server 2003/2000, which reside in the \mailroot\vsi <1>\queue folder (<1> is the instance number of the SMTP virtual server) on the file system. Queues have been moved to a JET database.

What’s Back Pressure?

In Exchange Server 2007, the Transport service monitors system resources such as disk space and memory on Transport servers (the Hub Transport and the Edge Transport servers), and stops message submission if it is running low on these resources. It continues to deliver existing messages in the queue. When resource utilization returns to normal, it resumes message submission. The feature is called Back Pressure.
In this case, Exchange required 4 Gigs of free disk space on the volume where the Queue database was located – I had about 3.95 Gigs. :)
Service Pack 1
Changes to Back Pressure settings in Exchange Server 2007 SP1
The Back Pressure settings in Exchange Server 2007 RTM stop inbound mailflow if free disk space is below 4 Gigs. This static threshold has been lowered in SP1 to a more realistic 500 Mb.

The Resolution

Many configuration options for transport servers are saved in an XML file namedEdgeTransport.exe.config (it’s the same file name on both server roles— the Edge Transport and the Hub Transport servers) located in \Exchange Server\Bin\. You can edit the file to:
  1. Disable Back Pressure or
  2. Modify the parameters to more accurately define what’s high utilization for your deployment or server configurations, as explained in the above docs.
Another resolution, and the one I used in this case, was to move the Queue database to another volume with ample of free space, using the following procedure:
  1. Add the following key in the  section in EdgeTransport.exe.config, as documented in “How to Change the Location of the Queue Database“:
  2. Restart the MSExchangeTransport service, and message submission resumes.

Firmware Importance

I can't understand why so many IT professionals in this day and age, don't understand the importance of firmware.
It solves known issues and is released for a reson.
1.  It solves known issues that have come out since the release of  the hardware
2. It makes older systems recognize newer technology ie larger hard drives
3. The most important one is it can't prevent data loss ... i think this is the most important reason especially for PCs , Laptops and Serves
4. In Networking Equipment it will add functionality and even in NAS devices it is key to keep your firmware up to date.

Most of the big players release firmware on a regular basis and will even E-mail you firmware changes for your equipment, then you can go and download the firmware and apply it.

I check every couple of months even though  I get mailings just to make sure I didn't miss an e-mail as that is always possible with the volume of e-mails people get today or it might have been caught by spam.

SharePoint Designer Server error: There is no Web named " ".


This issue happens if you try to remove FP2000 Extensions from a Virtual Directory from the IIS server

discovered in IIS 5.0 XP version.
I experienced this issue with one directory, while all the others worked just fine. The strange part was that I was able to open the subdirectories of the failing directory. With this in mind, I made a new directory and began copying separate files to the new folder. After a few files, I tried to open it with SharePoint Designer and this was always succesfull. When I copied one of the last folders - which was a hidden folder - I got the error again! From that moment I knew what the cause of the problem was.
When using SharePoint Designer to open a site directly from it's directory (like E:\site\ ) via the "Open Site" button, it is possible to receive the above error.

Solution to solve the error:

It is the hidden folder "_vti_pvt".

Delete the folder and all its contents everything will open like it should.

Issues might arise with FP extensions if files were in the folder but you should be able to recreate it if needed
