In the registry, delete:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun

Make sure that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom\AutoRun has a value of “1.”
Download the Microsoft Autofix Repair Wizard from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C680A7B6-E8FA-45C4-A171-1B389CFACDAD&displaylang=en and run it.

Restart and try again.

Server 2003 NTFRS Error 13568

This is the only resolution to error 13568 that I've seen posted that mentions the fact that the key they are referencing does not exist and has to be created manually.



RESOLUTION
==========

[...]

To modify the default behavior, make the following changes in the registry
to
instruct FRS to handle the JRNL_WRAP_ERROR status automatically:
1. Stop FRS.
2. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
3. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters
4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
Value name: Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: 1 (Default 0)
5. Quit Registry Editor.
6. Restart FRS.

If these steps do not modify the default settings and the automatic
re-initialization is not turned on, you need to manually re-initialize the
replica tree. At a convenient time, make the following changes to the
registry:

1. Stop FRS.
2. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
3. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup
/Restore/Process
at Startup
4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
Value name: BurFlags
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: D2
5. Quit Registry Editor.
6. Restart FRS.

How to enbable SMTP Authentication on Konica Minolta Bizhubs

Many email servers will not allow anonymous or non-verified users to send email. They require the sender to be a verified, authorized user. Therefore these email servers need the user to enter a valid SMTP User Name and Password.


On both the Konica Minolta di2010-3510 and bizhub 200-350 series SMTP authorization is not a default choice to enter. However, you can change soft-switch 380 to allow SMTP Authentication.

For step by step how to turn this on both the bizhub 200-350 series AND di2010-3510 series:

At Copier -
Utility/Counter > Admin Management > Enter admin PW (12345678 - default for 200-350's, 00000000 default for 2010-3510's) > Enter > Admin. 2 > Software SW > Mode Selection > 380 > Hex Selection > enter 44 > Enter

Now you can go and set the SMTP authentication info

Network Settings > SMTP Settings > SMTP Server Address > Enter appropriate SMTP IP Address > Port > (Default is 25 - for most applications leave at 25) > Email Address Enter appropriate Email Return Address > Enter > SMTP User Name > enter appropriate SMTP account User Name > SMTP Authentication Password > Enter appropriate SMTP account password > Enter

Allowing Microsoft VPN through Cisco PIX

Symptom: When attempting to connect to a VPN server on the outside of the PIX it returns error 721 or 800, the computer failed to respond.


Resolution: 1) In order to PPTP through a PIX, you must have a one-to-one mapping from the external IP to an internal IP for type 47 GRE packets and port 1723. For example, for pptp add this: conduit permit gre host x.x.x.x any AND conduit permit tcp host x.x.x.x eq 1723. For l2tp over ipsec: conduit permit esp host x.x.x.x any, conduit permit udp host x.x.x.x eq 1701 any AND conduit permit udp host x.x.x.x eq 500 any.

2) If the PIX is V6.3(3) or above, you can enable PPTP fixup, fixup protocol pptp 1723.

Symbol UPC Scanner

If your POS is not bringing up products that have short barcodes, and you find that you need to remove the leading digit and the trailing digit for them to come up, this can be fixed.

Download the manual for the scanner and find the codes to "Disable UPC-E Preamble" and "Disable UPC-E Check Digit".  Scan those codes, and that should resolve the issue.

Setting a DNS server in Fedora

Setting a DNS server in Fedora is needlessly difficult.  Just edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and reboot.  Here's a sample:


PEERDNS=yes
HWADDR=00:0d:56:27:c5:d4
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
DEVICE=eth0
MTU=1500
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.255.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.2
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
DNS1=x.x.x.x
DNS2=x.x.x.x
