Recovery of LUNs as VHDs

Published by Jeremy on October 4, 2014

I had recently worked on a SAN failure that resulted in a perfect storm of bad backups, broken offsite replication and disabled notifications. The data was sent off to professionals to recover the data. What was returned to me was VHD files from each of the LUNs this SAN had. This SAN had about 20 …

iRedMail on Nginx

Published by Jeremy on March 15, 2013

This is my experiment to get iRedMail to work with Nginx. In the end I got everything to work other than awstats, although with some caveats. I don’t like awstats very much and it seemed quite troublesome to get it setup. There is a mode to run awstats in that lets it just generate static …

Dynamics CRM notes change ownership unexpectedly

Published by Jeremy on February 25, 2013

I stumbled across a weird issue with Dynamics CRM 2011. I thought it was due to Rollup 12 as it only recently started happening, but it appears to be default behavior (whether I noticed it before or not). Basically the steps to reproduce this are very simple. User A Create a case with some basics …

Hyperlinks in CRM 2011 Rollup 12 do not work in Safari

Published by Jeremy on February 14, 2013

One of my co-workers who use Safari way more than I do pointed out today that he couldn’t click links in Safari on his Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. I was able to reproduce this as well in my Safari. Starting my debugging I noticed if I opened the developer console the links worked, which …

Chrome closes with CRM 2011 Rollup 12

Published by Jeremy on February 8, 2013

Doing more testing with CRM 2011 Rollup 12, I found out that Chrome was self closing when I logged into CRM. This is very annoying, but having worked with CRM before in IE, I knew what this was. By chance I was able to verify it by going to the CRM url and changing the …

Using Chrome on CRM 2011 Rollup 12 will repeatedly show login prompt

Published by Jeremy on February 8, 2013

While testing out CRM 2011 Rollup 12, I noticed that I could not get it to log me in for Chrome. After checking my security log and resetting Chrome back to defaults, it still didn’t shed any light onto why this was happening. After much searching, I happen to find the article explaining this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2709891/en-us?sd=rss&spid=15707 …

The specified storage repository scan failed

Published by Jeremy on December 25, 2012

This one has been bugging me for a while. I had a CIFS based ISO share. For some reason the share would fail to update now and then with the error message “The specified storage repository scan failed”. A restart of the CIFS system would fix it, but none the less it wasn’t a solution. …

Mapping a drive letter to a SharePoint Document Library

Published by Jeremy on November 23, 2012

I was looking for a way to accomplish the need of making it easier for users to access a SharePoint Document Library, with the plus side of being able to add this into a GPO and letting it be mapped across the domain. Of course you can add a network location to a SharePoint Document …

Adding search to Dynamics CRM Customer Portal

Published by Jeremy on November 20, 2012

So I needed to add a search box to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Customer Portal. So into Visual Web Developer 2010 Express I went. I opened the Customer Portal project and then expanded Pages and eService in the tree. Opening up ViewCases.aspx I located the following

<asp:GridView

1	<asp:GridView

I added this before that:

        <asp:Label ID="Label2" Font-Bold="true" runat="server">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Search: </asp:Label>
        <asp:TextBox ID="CaseSearch" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

1 2	<asp:Label ID="Label2" Font-Bold="true" runat="server">      Search: </asp:Label> <asp:TextBox ID="CaseSearch" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

I then …

OEM like branding in Windows 7

Published by Jeremy on October 5, 2012

I needed to figure out a simple way to set the default background image. I didn’t want to force the background image, I didn’t want to apply a GPO, and I wasn’t having much luck editing the default user hive. I happen to stumble onto this solution by chance, really. So into regedit we go …
