How to remove Internet Explorer Enhanced security in SBS 2011

Submitted by Mike on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 18:04

As a general rule, I don't do much web surfing on a server, but sometimes you have applications that use features which are blocked. Most times you can just add them to the list of safe sites, but sometimes, that just doesn't work, or maybe you're working remotely, and the server is the only console is the only thing you have access to.

Anyway, disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is pretty easy to do, if you know where it is.

HOW TO give the w32Time account permissions to the config key in registry editor

Submitted by Mike on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 19:27

One of my users was trying to change one of the DWORD values in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config

Unfortunately they were getting the good old “Access Denied” message. When I took a look at it, I realized the only user who had permission to edit the key was a user or account named W32TIME. It seemed pretty straight forward. So I went up one key, and copied the permissions down. Then I went in and added the W32Time account. Well, I tried to at least.

This seems really silly, but I end up forgetting how to do this, and then I have to go poking around for a good while before I find it again.

Find who has files open in Windows Server 2008

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 02/09/2009 - 12:56

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has become accustomed to opening up Computer Management on a server, and looking in the shared folders in order to find out who has a file open. Well, that was Windows Server 2003. Now that we have Windows Server 2008, it’s just a little bit different.

Here’s how you do it.

In Server Manager, expand Roles, then expand File Services, and click on “Share and Storage Management”.

Gmail Tip: How to View an E-Mail's Internet Headers in Gmail

Submitted by Mike on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 12:28

Internet headers are pretty handy to have access too. They can let you know the exact servers that delivered an email to you, as well as help you to figure out where SPAM is coming from.

I wanted to verify how a new mail server I'm setting up is getting it's mail out to the Internet. Since I use Gmail anyway, I always use it to test  inbound and outbound email. But how do you view the headers?

Server 2008: The Installer has insufficient Privileges to modify this file

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 01/05/2009 - 22:01

Sometimes the easiest things can be so difficult. I was just trying to install a simple update package, "Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1" to be exact. The installer returns the error "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\RelNotes.htm".
