This not my work.
If you use AJAX in your web app’s, you no doubt have made use of some sort of progress/status indicator that lets the user know that some operation is currently executing. In the app I am currently working on we use an animated gif for this. It works great, but sometimes you might find it nice to have more control over the indicator - i.e. interacting with it via JavaScript and styling it using CSS.

Microsoft Exchange Server hardware virtualization is so popular that it seems as if everyone is moving their entire infrastructure to a virtual server environment. That being the case, I want to discuss some of the issues you may encounter when virtualizing Exchange 2007 mailbox servers.

Finally found the solution to fix the “An error occured during a call to Windows Management Instrumentation ID no: 8004100e Exchange System Manager” error. It worked beautifully. I can now fully utilise Message Tracking on my Windows 2000 Exchange server.
I have to give full credit to Luke Edson at http://www.mrtweak.com/exchange-ser…install-script/
In essence, it incompases the solution given by Danielp ealier, but goes a little further. Just run this script:

A few snippets to make your prompt look better when using screen for linux.
Add the below to your .bashrc so each tab created when you generate a new screen shows user@hostname
function rename_screen_tab () { echo -ne “\x1bk$@\x1b\\”; return 0; }
if [[ "$TERM" = screen* ]]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND=’rename_screen_tab ${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}’
[ "$HOSTNAME" = "hostname-of-mainbox" ] && PROMPT_COMMAND=’rename_screen_tab ${SCREEN_TAB:-$USER}’
fi
Add the below to your .screenrc
hardstatus off
caption always “%?%F%{= Kk}%:%{=u kR}%? %h %-024=%{+b} %C%a %D %d %M %Y%{= db}”
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string ‘%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{= kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B} %d/%m %{W}%c %{g}]‘
shelltitle “$ |bash”
Note: the hardstatus string should be on the one line.

So I fought this problem all day long. My Windows XP VMWare image was running like crap. I started to poke around. The first thing I did was to bring up the task manager. Sure enough, my virtual CPU was pegged at around 55-60% when the vm was doing nothing. This is not good!

Run the SBSBackup wiz and make your selections as close as possible to what you want (or not, doesn’t really matter what is selected at this point) then fire up NTBackup. Programs, accesories, backup. Cancel the NTBackup wiz (if
it starts in wiz mode, default), go to the backup page and from the ‘job’ menu ‘load selections’. The SBSBackup wiz creates a selection file, Small Business Backup Script.bks in C:\Program files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\backup, it is this file you wish to load. Adjust the
selections in NTBackup and save the file.
