This error keeps cropping up now and again on most of our domain controllers (OS-2008 AND 2008R2)...Usually a restart fixes the issue however the issue repeats and security logs don't generate.
Any advice on how to fix this issue permanently would be greatly appreciated.

"Help viewer cannot open this content"

In iPhoto '09 Help window I would get the following error message when I tried viewing any topic:
"Help viewer cannot open this content"
Problem solved with help from "Apple Expert" phone support following these steps:
1. reboot in safe mode - I think this clears system cache and runs a disk repair utility
2. reboot
3. delete ~/Library/Caches
4. empty trash
5. log out
6. log back in
7. empty trash
Apparently the problem was caused by a corrupt cached file.

This worked for me.
From http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html#Anchor-Reset-35882

Calendar Server Error: At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent.

I deployed a Mountain Lion Server with the calendar service active. Every time a user tries to share a calendar they have created under thier account to an external person using thier email address, the server gives the following error: "At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent."
Invites to share a calendar to OD accounts on the server seem to work fine.
I have a calendar specific email address for external invites set up. The server seems to send individual event invites to external email addresses just fine, so I am thinking the email is working. Email is not served on the Mountain Lion Server. The account is through Google Apps using IMAP and SMTP.
What's even stranger, is that there doesn't seem to be any message in the Calendar error logs.
I've tried creating a new test account and no luck.
I don't know what else to try.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Loop with WMI Query taking too long, need to break out if time exceeds 5 min

I've written a script that will loop through a list of computers and run a WMI query using the Win32_Product class. I am pinging the host first to ensure its online which eliminates wasting time but the issue I'm facing is that some of the machines
are online but the WMI Query takes too long and holds up the script. I wanted to add a timeout to the WMI query so if a particular host will not respond to the query or gets stuck the loop will break out an go to the next computer object. I've added my code
below:
$Computers = @()
$computers += "BES10-BH"
$computers += "AUTSUP-VSUS"
$computers += "AppClus06-BH"
$computers += "Aut01-BH"
$computers += "AutLH-VSUS"
$computers += "AW-MGMT01-VSUS"
$computers += "BAMBOOAGT-VSUS"
## Loop through all computer objects found in $Computes Array
$JavaInfo = @()
FOREACH($Client in $Computers)
## Gather WMI installed Software info from each client queried
Clear-Host
Write-Host "Querying: $Client" -foregroundcolor "yellow"
$HostCount++
$Online = (test-connection -ComputerName ADRAP-VSUS -Count 1 -Quiet)
IF($Online -eq "True")
$ColItem = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -ComputerName $Client -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | `
Where {(($_.name -match "Java") -and (!($_.name -match "Auto|Visual")))} | `
Select-Object Name,Version
FOREACH($Item in $ColItem)
## Write Host Name as variable
$HostNm = ($Client).ToUpper()
## Query Named Version of Java, if Java is not installed fill variable as "No Java Installed
$JavaVerName = $Item.name
IF([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($JavaVerName))
{$JavaVerName = "No Installed"}
## Query Version of Java, if Java is not installed fill variable as "No Java Installed
$JavaVer = $Item.Version
IF([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($JavaVer))
{$JavaVer = "Not Installed"}
## Create new object to organize Host,JavaName & Version
$JavaProp = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
"HostName" = $HostNm
"JavaVerName" = $JavaVerName
"JavaVer" = $JavaVer
## Add new object data "JavaProp" from loop into array "JavaInfo"
$JavaInfo += $JavaProp
Else
{Write-Host "$Client didn't respond, Skipping..." -foregroundcolor "Red"}

Let me give you a bigger picture of the script. I've included the emailed table the script produces and the actual script. While running the script certain hosts get hung up when running the WMI query which causes the script to never complete. From one of
the posts I was able to use the Get-WmiCustom function to add a timeout 0f 15 seconds and then the script will continue if it is stuck. The problem is when a host is skipped I am not aware of it because my script is not reporting the server that timed out.
If you look at ZLBH02-VSUS highlighted in the report you can see that its reporting not installed when it should say something to the effect query hung.
How can I add a variable in the function that will be available outside the function that I can key off of to differentiate between a host that does not have the software installed and one that failed to query?

Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long.

Hello Friends,
The background is I am working as conversion manager and we move the data from oracle to SQL Server using SSMA and then we will apply the conversion logic and then move the data to system test ,UAT and Production.
Scenario:
Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long. Both the databases are in the same server.
Questions are…
What is best option?
IF we use the SSIS it’s very slow and taking 17 hours (some time it use to stuck and won’t allow us to do any process).
I am using my own script (Stored procedure) and it’s taking only 1 hour 40 Min. I would like know is there any better process to speed up and why the SSIS is taking too long.
When we move the data using SSIS do they commit inside after particular count? (or) is the Microsoft is committing all the records together after writing into Transaction Log
Thanks
Karthikeyan Jothi

Hi,
From your narration, you can clear the configuration cache, then re-run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard, check the effect.
Cleared the cache of config database by following below steps.
1. Stopped the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service.
2. Started on the SharePoint Server where Central Administration Site is hosted. Browse to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\
3. Deleted all the xml files. (But do not delete the cache.ini file.)
4. Then Edited the cache.ini and replaced the current value with "1".
5. Restarted the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service on the Central Admin server .
Thanks,
Rock Wang

"The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized."

I am having problems with "The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized." It happens when I try to watch TV show/Movie previews.
I can usually watch a few previews before the error comes up. Once the error comes up, sometimes I cannot watch the previews that I was able to watch just minutes ago. Other times, it seems to be dependent on the preview - some previews work fine and others don't work at all.
Fortunately, I can still watch all purchased content.
Apple TV is at 2.4. I've tried de/reauthorizing iTunes and logging out/in via Apple TV.
Can anyone offer help? Anyone have the same issue?

I just purchased a music video from iTunes onto my MacBook Pro and downloaded it to my apple tv and had the same problem.
I also rented two movies on my MacBook Pro while traveling in Spain, when I got home and sync'd with apple tv it would not play on apple tv only the laptop. Got not authorized error... I then rent a movie directly from apple tv and that does play.
This is painful and I just bought a second apple tv unit... regretting it so far!

Maybe I'm fool, but how I get the "day view"? I have three options on the top line, an icon that seems a computer (a square and two lines), a magnifying glass to search a especific item and a "plus" to add appointments. The "day view" isn't any more there - that's the point!!! Using the first icon a get the full month-that uses 2/3 of the screen- and two lines of appointments...To see the rest I have to slide up and down the two lines taking care to not touch the month...
