iOS 4 coming 21st of June

Those of you with iPhones have something juicy to look forward to:  iOS 4 is to be released on the 21st of June.  iOS is the new name for iPhone OS, the iPhone’s operating system.  iOS is currently at 3.1.3.  Version 4 is a major upgrade and promises some really nice new features such as:

  • Multitasking – run more than one app at the same time and switch between them
  • Folders – group apps together
  • Mail improvements – unified inbox (all emails from all accounts in one inbox), more than 1 exchange account, open attachments in 3rd party apps, organise by thread (like Gmail)
  • iBooks – eBook reader and online store
  • Creation of playlists on the iPhone rather than in iTunes
  • 5x digital zoom
  • Tap to focus video
  • Faces and Places in Photos - view photos based on who’s in them and where they were taken
  • Home screen wallpaper - change the background wallpaper on your Home screen
  • Gift apps - send apps as gifts to your friends or family
  • Spell checking - built-in spell checker works in Mail, Notes and other apps
  • Wireless keyboard support - pair a Bluetooth wireless keyboard with your iPhone

Sounds pretty good.  If you have an iPhone 3 or 3GS, or iPod Touch (not 1st generation version) you’ll get the benefits.  Unfortunately, the iPhone 3 won’t support multitasking and perhaps a few other features too.

Once it’s out you should be able to download it in iTunes and update your iPhone with it.

Where are SCANPST.EXE and/or SCANOST.EXE?

I sometimes have to deal with customer computers whose Outlook PST or OST files have become corrupted.  Very often the fix is to run SCANPST.EXE on the offending PST/OST file.   However, every time I go to do this I forget where the two executable files are.  Here is where they are on a Vista machine running Office 2007: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 I hope this helps.

WSUS Issues

Was configuring WSUS on a Server 2016 VM for a customer recently and found the performance to be very sluggish and most of the time the client PCs would time-out and throw an error message when trying to check for updates. After much digging on different forums I came across a fix that worked nicely: Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Application Pools Then Right-Click on your WsusPool instance and choose Advanced Settings Scroll down to Private Memory Limit (KB) and change it from the default of 1843200 to 0 which means unlimited. Then right-click and stop the WsusPool and then start it again. Hope this works for you.

APC PowerChute Network Shutdown - Authentication Phrase

​Was installing  APC PowerChute Network Shutdown (PCNS) on a customer’s server and couldn’t find a record of the Authentication Passphrase that I set ages back on their Smart UPSes Network Management 2 Card. So I went to reset it on the card and start anew… it took a lot of digging to find it on their particular release of firmware: Go into the UPS tab, then into “shutdown” inside the “Configuration” category: You may then need to change the passphrase being used on other servers. To do this, open up PCNS in your browser and click into the area shown below:
