You have attempted to access a page that requires a salesforce.com login. If you are already a user of the system, please login below.

Internet Explorer 9 won’t let a user get in but firefox and chrome will. This is a problem because saleforce plugins like MS office integration only work in Internet Explorer.

We think this works, I’ll check back in a week:

Hit the IE gear at the top right and select “Internet Options”

In the window that pops up, click the security tab at the top left

There is a checkbox toward the bottom left. “Enable Protected Mode”

Check the box. If it works please post a comment below. If it doesn’t work, please post a comment below.

We have been through many calls with Salesforce customer support who have proven to be pretty useless. My desktop support has tried to figure this out and my users have called Salesforce directly many times. This morning I found this fix in about 3 minutes after starting in on the problem. So I doubt it is the solution.

check it out, they have a lot of great stuff added.

Very cool vector graphics presentations. This should be able to outdo powerpoint any time you need something flashy.

Grab that little sucker and then look up the wikipedia article on robocopy to refresh your memory on what the switches mean.

robocopy c:\folder1 c:\folder2 /E /XO

Copy files between two servers and maintain permissions

robocopy c:\folder1 \\server\sharename\destination /E /sec

Robocopy is sweet because you can use it to sync folders, copy permissions, copy encrypted files, pretty much every file copy operation you can think of. Just do a robocopy /? at a command prompt to check it all out

SRI and SANS came up with this sweet predictive blacklist fun. It reminds me of what Symantec used to do with their free log reader software, Deepsight . Symantec used to give this log aggregation software away, feed all the data into it’s own servers and then provide threat analysis to it’s enterprise customers. Nobody had a free central log reader out for windows clients then so it seemed like a good idea at the time.  I didn’t have time to read logs from over 1000 machines. Part of the image was the magic of deepsight. I gave Symantec 1000 private IPs with DNS names to analyze and they gave me a daily email showing where my threats were coming from. It was even HTML email. OOooOOooOOoo. Anyhow under the hood was the same deal as this blacklist “predictor” which predicts nothing… It shows you a current threat and distributes that data based on comparing some logs. Still cool stuff just a funny name for free stuff. I expect it to cost money soon.

Now the open source community catches up! This is super cool. Hooray for open source that currently is exciting and will soon be purchased or boring and unsupported!

go to command line

switch to Hyperic directory

run hq-agent.exe -i

Now open services, and edit to tell it to restart on failure. (it fails a lot)

Now go set up some alarms! Monitoring isn’t worth anything if you don’t have pages set up.

Notice how the squares are grouped is how you tell the path. Right click and hit  explore to get in and delete things.

Look at the silly sample movie on vista ultimate. Not something I want on my puny size solid state disk.
