Some Notes on the Machines

Here’s a great one:

If the Windows uninstaller does not work or fails, things can get difficult. The Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit for the product at hand may be necessary. For the Titanium product, it is available here for 32-bit and 64-bit:

And a general 32-bit download, at least for some versions, appears here:

And another, a general agent remover, very general:

A recommended tool:

Possibly the best of all:

There are lots of GUIs, but the command-line method is extremely simple when you need it quick and ad-hoc. This works with Fireware version 11.8 and after. First web-browse to here:

https://1.2.3.4/sslvpn.html

where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of your Watchguard. Then login and pull in client.ovpn from the lowermost link. Then just run:

openvpn --config client.ovpn

login in, and you’re in. If the Watchguard has multiple SSL VPN configs and the default is the wrong IP, just change the IP in the .ovpn file and it will work fine.

Good links here:

The Windows USB/DVD Download Tool may also be rather handy.

Windows Firewall is required, if network-shared printers are to be used, in Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. See here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2123653

But there are still many instances where Windows Firewall gets in the way. In these cases, set up a Group Policy for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security:

Computer Configuration,
Policies,
Windows Settings,
Security Settings,
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security,
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security – LDAP://cn={GUID},cn=….

and Allow all connections both inbound and outbound. That way the APIs all run, but no interferences.

This looks interesting to me:

Looking rather interesting so far; it is very multiplatform:

In addition to installation of the Quickbooks server piece, folder permissions have to be set correctly. Make sure you use the Advanced permissions settings area, and choose “This folder, subfolders, and files”.

The program folders have to give full control to “Users”:

and the data folders have to give full control to the service users created during installation of the server piece.
