Re: BT - Customer Service - What service???
I had a query on my phone bill so tried to resolve it via the chatline last night. My query was why I had been charged for two calls to a number, yet the third (in line with my contract) was free. The help was less than adequate. The first response was that it was because it was an International call. It was not. The second response was that it was a mobile number. It was not. Then 'There were only two calls' - 'No, there were three. The times, dates and durations were....'
The ridiculousness of the responses made me both laugh and despondent at the level of ineptitude. The great irony of it was that the number in question was the BT Sales number. Having failed to get anything approaching a sensible response, I dialled said number, confirming that this call was indeed free under the terms of my contract and the helpful chap in Falkirk confirmed that it was not (yet) an international number and resolved to help sort out my issue.
I have found the Chatline help oth useful and exasperatingly incompetent. This is obviously down to inadequate levels of training and supervision to ensure that staff know what they are saying on BT's behalf.

What services can be monitored?
What services can be monitored? Can monitored services be broken down by categories? If so is there a list of service categories somewhere? Or does System Center
monitor all services at the same time?Hi,
I found a relevant blog for your reference.

RE: How to monitor who has what service objectconnection?
We ran into this problem, specifically because we are using a dbsession
connection pattern and the dba's did not like loosing control over
connections. We have 8 subsystem, each with a dedicated connection that
is shared across multiple users. We also have a security pattern in
place that is token based. Since we have to pass a security token
through service objects we can track this information using a
"connection array" on the service object and a system agent to poll the
contents of the array. When a sql statement is invoked on a
persistence object we add the user to the array on the persistence
manager (SO). When the sql is complete we remove the user from the
array. Since the PO has a system agent we can ask the system agent at
anytime, who has an open connection/session with the PO. Since system
agents plug into econsole, the dba can go look any time.
Any questions, please contact

Subject: How to monitor who has what service object connection?

Here at Eli Lilly & Co., we have a customer that would like to know if
anyone out there has successfully
devised a method to be able to tell what user has what service object
connection. Basically, if a customer
calls the system administrator with a problem with the application, the
system administrator would like to
be able to kill certain processes. Right now, the database connections
running on the server all look the same.
Some ideas were generated internally, one referring to setting up agents
but we'd like to see if anyone
has had success in doing this already that we could use as a contact.
Thanks,

[email protected]Hello Peggy,
I suggest that you make contact with Paolo Sidoli at DS Data (Italy). They
have written a very nice package called DORE that includes trouble shooting
utilities, that allow you to monitor what a remote user is doing (you can
actually see their screen!).
You can contact Paolo at [email protected]

Azure and Unity Master Server What Service Should I Use?
Hi all!
This is a noob question. I never buy cloud service before. I want to know, if I want to host my own Unity Master Server (an exe file as server) what service should I use? (Virtual Server? Mobile Services? Cloud Services?)
Really glad if someone can give a little explanation what they differ from each other in the simplest and practical way.
Thank you before.Hi Sir,
Thanks for your posting!
Form your description, Would you want to deploy your exe file on Azure call it as a service on client? In your scenarios, I think VM and cloud service could meet your requirement.
Please see this code sample about host exe file on azure cloud service :

For hosting on VM, You could see this post:

itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

While updating my iTunes this message came up "Service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" what can I do to get my iTunes to work again?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
