Fixing Virtual PC 7 on Corporate LAN with Outlook

I was having problems getting my new Quad with 10.4.3 and VPC 7.0.2 to work properly at home to connect my Outlook using my VPN into work. I tried a bunch of stuff and ran across the following post at Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824440/
I was not familar with Virtual Switch but did the following which fixed my problem (for now):
I used my powerbook at work with VPN 7.0.2 installed to update first all Windows updates then all Office Updates, then connected to the corporate LAN and synced all my Outlook Folders (about 350 MBs.)
I then copied over the entire VPC file from my Powerbook to my Quad at home (file is user/Documents/Virtual PC List/BaseDrive.vhdp which was 4.5 GBs.)
I opened Windows XP and completely shut down (do not use Save State option.) Then went to settings and clocked Networking and then clicked the Virtual Switch option.)
I rebooted Windows, connected the VPN and Outlook popped right up with mailboxes all ready to go.
This is great as I now can use iMail in OS X at home with all my non-work email accounts working at the same time as being hooked to my corporate LAN through VPC and Outlook with out having to use the VPN option on OS X and looking everything else out.
Hope this helps some one else. . . .

This was not a question but advise.

  • Z10 sync with Outlook

    Did the recent update include a fix to allow the Z10 to sync with Outlook?
    Please advise......

    No, not if you're intending to sync with the desktop standalone Outlook.
    RIM has stated the ability to transfer your data from Outlook to the Z10 is coming a few weeks (and that was about three weeks ago) and later would come two-way sync with Outlook <> Z10.
    So, for now, no.
    There are workarounds (some good, some complicated) if you need to ask further questions, please do.

  • This is a new notification coming up with iTunes, why and how do I fix it? The song "Penny Lane" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

    Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
    First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
    Quit iTunes.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
    Mac OS X
    /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
    \Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
    Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
    Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
    Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
    Rename this file to iTunes Library.
    Open iTunes.
    You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
    via: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

  • Hyper-V Replication over Dedicated LAN and "is alive" checks over Corporate LAN

    I am testing Hyper-V replication to see if it will be a suitable replacement for the ArcServer RHA product.  One thing I am struggling with is configuring the replication to use the dedicated LAN, but still have the host servers verify over the corporate
    LAN.  
    I have seen the blogs on how to use a dedicated route and editing the hosts file to get replication to use the dedicated LAN, but that also changes the LAN in which the host servers communicate.  It seems to me that if the corporate LAN were to go down
    on the master server, I wouldn't be able to fail over the virtual machines to the replica server without first having to connect into the master server through the dedicated LAN of the replica server to shut down the virtual machines.
    I need to be able to fail over to the replica server if the corporate network connection on the master server drops without having to go through the extra steps of connecting into the master server first.
    Is it possible for the two items to be separated?  Can I tell Hyper-V to replicate using one specific IP destination on the dedicated LAN and have the replica server check to see if the master is live over the corporate LAN?

    Hi Telrick,
    >> It seems to me that if the corporate LAN were to go down on the master server, I wouldn't
    be able to fail over the virtual machines to the replica server without first having to connect into the master server through the dedicated LAN of the replica server to shut down the virtual machines.
    I want to say that there are "planned fail over" and "unplanned fail over " , the latter applies the primary server crashing (you can select "failover" on "replica server " then the VM will start up ,after the primary
    server online again you can do "reverse" )
    The point is that you can not use hyper-v replica as a backup (it will lost little data which have not yet been replicated to replica server when "unplanned fail over" happens )

  • Lync for mac 2011 not working in corporate LAN

    Hi guys,
    I have a mac client that has newest version 14.0.10 of lync installed. The Mac works on OS X Yosemite
    operating system. The problem is that when you connect to corporate LAN, lync never connects and gives
    following error:
    Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet.
    If you share a connection via mobile or connect via outside network, you are able to log in and lync functions properly
    I have tried to update root certificate on mac via copying one from windows client, but with no luck.

    Hi Itseeker1,
    As ErikHMac stated, the new version of Lync for Mac 14.0.11 has been released, you can install it and check if the issue is solved.
    I know you have installed the root certificate on Mac, but please check it again and make sure the certificate is issued by an Enterprise Certificate Authority (Internal CA) and
    also should be trusted by the Lync Server.
    In addition, it looks like an Internet connectivity issue, please try to flush the DNS cache by running the following command.
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    Hope it can be helpful.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Pop/Imap retrieving and redistribute in LAN with OsX Server

    It's possible to download mail accounts hosted in my isp and redistribut'em in my lan with OsX Server with it's own mail server?
    The scope is not to have a local server mail because we have ADSL and sometimes the line broke up...
    We prefere have mail hosted more securely in our external isp.
    But an internal mail server is a commodity very useful...
    Sorry if the questions is answered before...
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe not easy but should work:

  • How to get the fixed result in a DES/CBC mode with fixed input data and fix

    How to get the fixed result in a DES/CBC mode with fixed input data and fixed key. Below is my program , I tried to get the checksum of the DESInputData with the DESKeyData, but each time the result is different.
    below is my code:
    byte[] DESKeyData = {(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01, (byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 };
    byte[] DESInputData = {(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 };
    SecretKeySpec skey = new SecretKeySpec( DESKeyData, "DES" );
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/NoPadding");
    cipher.init( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey );
    byte[] result = cipher.doFinal( DESInputData );

    Use class javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec to specify IV for CBC mode cipher:
    // Create CBC-mode triple-DES cipher.
    Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
    // Specify IV.
    IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[] { (byte)0x01, (byte)0x23, (byte)0x45, (byte)0x67, (byte)0x89, (byte)0xAB, (byte)0xCD, (byte)0xEF });
    // Initialize cipher with proper IV.
    c.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, yourKey, iv);
    // Encrypt and decrypt should work ok now.

    http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page.  The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association.  I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material.  I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page.  However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring.  This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now.  I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
    I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
    If you can help I would appreciate it.

  • LAN with TCP/IP doesn't work

    Hello,
      I have a problem with my laptop IdeaPad S10e 4187-5PG: LAN with TCP/IP doesn't work, after I have updated all the drivers to the latest ones form the Lenovo site (except BIOS update). I tried to check if LAN worksby sending a ping to the IP address and that is OK, but when Isend a ping to the default gateway it failes. A ping to the DNS server also fails.Could you please help me because I tried everythinh and I can't getthe LAN to work.
    Thank you very much

    Perhaps you could describe you network in a little more detail.
    Is this a Workgroup home network or are you connected to a Domain server?
    If this is a workgroup are you connecting to the internet via a cable or DSL router?
    Do other computers on your network connect OK?
    Has your S10e ever worked properly on the network?
    Are you connecting via a wireless access point or LAN cable? 
    What do you Ping on and from where?
    Can you Ping OK on another networked computer?
    Open up a DOS Prompt (aka command prompt, DOS Box). and type IPCONFIG  /ALL <enter>. Do you get a compatible IP address and subnet mask? You should also get the gateway IP address.

    I assume that you have separate Profiles for the Release and Nightly installations.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.
