Uninstall Trend Micro Officescan without a Password

August 18, 2009 By Robert Owen

Ran into a slight problem today.  I had to add a couple of older computers to a  new Domain.  Pretty easy to do normally but these workstations had a version of Trend Micro's Officescan from their previous domain that needed to be removed so that the new version could be installed. I couldn't just uninstall the client (which would be the best solution) as that requires a password and no one in the office could remember the old password.  (As a side note, when you install network versions of … [Read more...]

Remote Shutdown, Oh how I love thee…

June 17, 2009 By Robert Owen

I manage a few Windows Servers across my VPN... Updating software, OS, and managing backups, etc. And, sometimes when you are installing an update that requires a reboot things can get a little complicated. Especially, if that server has a lot of services running and you are logged in via Remote Desktop. If there a lot of services that have to be shut down, sometimes the server can hang in the process... Cutting your remote session but not finishing the reboot process. So... enter … [Read more...]

Remote Desktop

June 10, 2009 By Robert Owen

Here is another Post that must have tasted good because, Wordpress ate it when I converted. It should still be useful to someone out there... When Windows XP came out, we were introduced to the new and improved remote desktop. It's Great! Believe me, I use it regularly. Well, when you use it to connect to XP workstations you get to connect to the console session. However, when trying to connect to a Server 2000 or Server 2003 machine you get connected to a "Remote Desktop" not ever to the … [Read more...]

WordPress and Smileys

June 10, 2009 By Robert Owen

I don't know about you but, sometimes on the web (twitter especially) the humor or sarcasm meant in a statement can be lost. So, I always try to add a little smiley so people know I'm not such a big jerk.  On a similar front, Wordpress will convert text smileys into their graphic equivalent . The problem is, I can't ever remember what the  "Proper" text for the smiley is supposed to be. I did a little searching (via Bing, BTW)  and came across this list of smileys that will work with … [Read more...]

Pretty URLS for WordPress on IIS

April 23, 2009 By Robert Owen

I've been playing around with my site again. Trying to work out the beauty of my urls. I thought they looked pretty good... Well, similar to what I'm used to from BlogCFC anyway. The urls were like this: www.owenwebs.com/index.php/xxxx/xxx/xxx etc.. Which is not too bad... Better than the default: owenwebs.com/?p=13 or something silly like that. But, I've seen them better around the web. And made it a goal to get mine to work that way also. After a bunch of Google-ing I found several … [Read more...]
