Some Notes on the Machines

The batch file below will move a VIPRE agent to a new server. Be sure to change “servername.domain.xyz” to the appropriate DNS name of the new server.

sc config sbamsvc start= disabled
net stop sbamsvc
taskkill /f /im sbamsvc.exe
sc config sbamsvc start= disabled
(if exist "C:\ProgramData\GFI Software\Antimalware" CD C:\ProgramData\GFI Software\Antimalware)
(if exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GFI Software\Antimalware" CD C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GFI Software\Antimalware)
del policy.xml
del agentsettings.xml
(reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SBAMSvc /v PolicyServiceMachineName /t REG_SZ /d "servername.domain.xyz" /f)
sc config sbamsvc start= delayed-auto
net start sbamsvc

If Adobe Pro X won’t load, if it is installed as part of CS6, there is a good procedure to get it unstuck:

There is a great GUI for ACL (access control lists, fine-grained permissions) for Linux:

For the Banshee media player:

1. On the server, browse to: http://www.hp.com/bizsupport
2. Using your browser’s search, search for the word Proliant. That will give you the link to the page you need:
   http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support.html
3. Search for the server model you are working on, and open the relevant page.
4. If the server is SBS, at least at this writing, you will not find the files you need under the SBS page. If your SBS version is 2011, you will find the files you need under Server 2008 R2. With this in mind, open the relevant page for your server.
5. Under Driver – System Management, download and install the Management Controller Driver. Best to save it to hard drive and run the installer as administrator.
6. Under Software – System Management, download and install the System Management Homepage. Must save it to hard drive and run the installer as administrator, because it has to start a service.
7. Under Software – System Management, download the Insight Management Agents, and also the Insight Management WBEM Providers. You only need one of these, but it has been seen that sometimes only one of the two will successfully install. Must save to hard drive and run the installer as administrator, because one or more services will have to be started.
8. Attempt install of one of the items downloaded in #7. There may be a small tendency for the WBEM item to work more often, but this is not clear. If the install halts but does not fail, restart the HP System Management Homepage service and (if present) the HP WMI Storage Providers service, and the install may complete cleanly.
9. Open the HP System Management Homepage. Your hardware readouts should be complete.

Here is a pretty good overview:

Two web sites for quality free-of-charge clip-art and stock images online. First, the Microsoft; it requires an ActiveX control to be installed for max quality, click the Copy button after searching and finding an image you wish to use.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/results.aspx

And second:

http://openclipart.org

For max quality, in Firefox or IE, keep on left-clicking on the image you want until it fills your browser, then left-click on it and choose Copy, then paste into your Word or Adobe or other design application. Chrome doesn’t appear to have this at this writing, but you can do File/Save from any browser, and there are download links too.
