How long does Gmail keep IP address history in its archives? If I should subpoena Gmail, how far back can they provide IP address login history for my gmail account?
Preferably natively (Exchange mode), so that my calendar, etc, all sync up properly. It was working fine under our old version of Exchange (2007?), but broke with the upgrade to Exchange 2010. Done the usual remove the account, re-add, etc. Prefer not to drop down to IMAP mode for mail only.
I've recently acquired a mac mini server. Would like to migrate my existing (regular OS X) account to the server. I've created a user with same short name on the server side, but can't use it from my client for some reason.
Also it is not clear how to add a machine to Workgroup Manager. Would you have a good resource/article to read to find out how to do this properly?
When I setup my gmail account with thunderbird years ago, it had a specific option for gmail. I choose it and everything worked fine and dandy. However, whenever thunderbird checks the mail for me, it moves my mail from the inbox (on gmail) to the "All Mail" folder. How can I prevent it from doing this?
Hi, I've been trying to setup email forwarding through fetchmail from remote smtp server to Gmail account, although messages are constantly coming to my local address and accessible via "mail" command. SMTP connection works perfectly, but emails do not go anywhere.
System: debian, fetchmail
Config: poll smtp.server protocol imap username “user” password “pass” smtpname “[email protected]” ssl
Thank you!
Hi so i was doing some research in the library so i could use some pictures later on my Desktop computer in my room. I have space on my Lab account which i usually SSH into, and i was wondering if URL's can be directly transferred over to a remote machine and saved on the hard disk.
I was thinking something like this:
scp http://click.si.edu/images/truncatedurl.jpg /home3/etc.../filename.jpg
is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
A little background: We have an old rackmount server running a customised version of Fedora, manufactured by a company called Navaho. The server is a TeamCAT, running some proprietary rubbish called Freedom2. We have to keep it going - the alternative is extraordinarily expensive, and the business is not likely to be running much longer to justify changing things.
Through one means or another, it has fallen upon me to try and resolve our lack of root access. The previous admin has fallen under the proverbial bus, and nobody has any clue.
We have no access to the root account for this server. ssh is running on the server, and there is one account admin that we can login with, however it has no permission to do anything (ironic...)
The only other way into the server is with a null-modem serial cable. This works... up to a point. I can see the BIOS, I can see the post BIOS screen, and then I see "Starting grub", followed by another screen with about four lines of Linux information, but then it stops at that point. The server continues booting, and all services come online after around two minutes, but the serial terminal displays no more information.
I understand it is possible to put Linux into "single user mode" to reset a root password, but I have no idea how to do this beyond trying to interrupt it at the grub stage listed above. When I have tried it just froze. It was almost like grub had appeared (since the server did not continue booting) but I couldn't see it on the serial terminal. Which made me think maybe the grub screen has some different serial settings? I don't know... it's the first time I've ever used serial for access!
A friend of mine suggested trying to use a Fedora boot CD. We could boot from USB, so something along this approach is possible but again we still can only see what's going on with the serial terminal, so it might not be achievable.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things I can try? I appreciate this is a bit of a long shot, but any assistance would be invaluable.
*UPDATE 1 - 28/8/12 * - we will be making some attempts on this today and will post further details later!
I'm looking for a way to pull data from my Rackspace Cloud SITES account. The data I want to pull is bandwidth, diskspace, and compute cycles (all available from control panel). I'd like to set up my own warning system, to be notified if I'm close to my limits on any given month.
Does anyone know of a way/API to do this?
On Windows Vista, I right-click on a folder, Properties, Sharing tab, and either "Advanced Sharing" or "Share"-"Share" causes an error:
Windows File Sharing
This program will not run
Access is denied.
Close
My user account is an "administrator" on this machine.
I think this behavior changed since my computer was added to the new domain recently. I have other folders shared (from long ago), and they continue to be shared just fine.
On a server running Debian Wheezy and Samba ver 3 with a tdb backend, how do I restrict a single user from changing the password? This account is one of 2 generic accounts, one for students and one for Teachers on Call (TOC). The users are created, but I'm not deploying the server yet. When looking through Google, I came across setting the maximum password age, but not setting the minumum password age (I'd be happy with a 5 year password...)
I have a few Window XP clients that are part of a domain, when trying to set the permissions on the security tab and pressing location to search the AD for users it only presents the local machine...
So I follow this path
Right click folder Properties Security Add
in the locations field where I would normally see the windows domain, I am only seeing the local machine name???
So only users that have a local account can be added to the folders permissions...
Any tips would be appreciated
When you're prompted to login to a site using HTTP authentication (the kind with the pop-up box requesting username/password), Firefox's password manager populates it with only the first stored password for that domain.
Is there a way to have Firefox prompt for WHICH account should be used?
It is unlike the normal HTML login forms in which you can just press the down arrow to select from multiple login accounts.
Is there an add-on around that allows me to log into my twitter AND identi.ca account simulateously?
I'm tired of having IdentiFox and Echofon (formerly Twitterfox) running at the same time.
Hello,
for a publicly accessible terminal server I have created a user profile which only allows running of a few programs (demonstration of applications).
This results in many people connecting to the same user name on the server, essentially sharing the same profile.
How can I copy the original, empty profile on every logon to a seperate directory and delete it afterwards, so everybody starts with a clean copy of the "Guest"-Account?
I want to use the internet connection of the servers at my university. I have a remote desktop account, and I have tried setting up VPN, but all VPN or proxy server software I could think of was blocked.
Windows' built in VPN is blocked too. When I go to "Change Adapter Settings" and click on "File-New Incoming Connection", it says "Access denied."
What would your suggestion be to use the internet connection of the remote desktop?
For administrative purposes, I sometimes need to log in as another user to diagnose a problem with their account. I'd like to be able to do this without having to change their password so I don't have to keep bothering them. Under Unix, I can just save the encrypted password from the passwd file, change the password, then edit the old encrypted password back into the passwd file. Is there a way of doing something similar in AD?
I can login to the local PC and connect to Exchange server - on the same physical network if i log into the domain i cannot connect to the Exchange server.
DNS / DHCP all functioning as expected. User has AD account with Domain Admin rights.
Quite confusing!
I'm looking for a free or open source way to send emails to new employees when there account is created. I'm ok if its a powershell script, or something else which runs once per day. I'd like to be able to give is a couple of email files exported from outlook as there's a couple of emails I need all the new employees to get.
Hello,
I am trying to write a script which includes disk defragmentation as one of its steps. defrag needs administrative rights to work. I tried to use runas /user:Administrator, but it always asked me for password (even though there isn't one set).
The script needs to run unattended for a long time, and it needs to be started from standard user account (it is actually being run by cygwin), so I'd like to get rid of that prompt. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Hi... I want to install twiki on my mac and serve it from ~/Sites/. Because the wiki has code to be run, I have to modify the user and group of wiki's files and directories, but I'm not sure about the following:
1) It is secure to change the user and group of the directory to the web server's group? If not, what can I do having into account that I'll not put 777 permissions on those files?
2) How are named apache and web user groups?
Thanks
I provide a server (and site) to a client via Rackspace Cloud Hosting, and my client wants to now host the entire thing within his own account.
Since it's not possible to just transfer the ownership, I need to somehow create an image of the machine via SSH which I can then use on a new server.
Is this possible, and does anyone know of a way of doing this.
Note
I am talking about virtualised machines here, but I only have access to the virtualised partition and not the system as a whole.
When ever I run an Exchange 2010 SP1 Discovery Search I get the following error:
"Search failed as the results link to the target mailbox '[email protected]' couldn't be generated."
I have checked to ensure the discovery mailbox is enabled
I created a new Discovery mailbox. I get the same error with both Mailboxes.
The user account I am using to run the search is a member of the "Discovery Management" security group.
I get the same error whether I use the Shell or the ECP to run the
search
I've backup from my Gmail account at Outlook 2010 beta. I see a pst file which is equal file size with my Gmail used storage. Is this file enough to protect my mails or do I need additional files or whatever? I'm not a regular outlook user. I've read this but I don't think I'm using "Signatures, Templates, Stationery etc."...
I have an account with a hosting company and I have FTP access, how do I find this file
/usr/local/lib/php.ini
When my root directory after looging in to ftp includes the following folders
-admin_backups
-domains
-imap
-Maildir
-user_backups
I have a postfix server configured with imap. Only the recipient with the user account in the system is accepted. For example: rcpt to: test@localhost will yield the following error:
550 5.1.1 <test@localhost>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
What I want to achieve is setup virtual maps which accepts email to all the users (even if the user doesn't accept in the system) then forward all those emails to a specific user mailbox. Is something like this, possible?
