neuer Blog: Fix it 4 me

Have you ever come across a Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article or been presented with a Windows Error Reporting (WER) solution and asked yourself, why can’t Microsoft just fix this for me? Today KB articles and WER solutions provide you with a list of steps that can be followed to resolve your issue. However, tomorrow looks much different and we hope it helps you resolve any issues you have with our products faster and easier.

This new Microsoft team’s purpose is to automate the steps in Microsoft KB articles and Windows Error Reporting (WER) solutions so you can click a button and have the issue resolved.

This Fix it registers the Windows Script Engine as described in the following KB articles.

Absicherung der Client - Server Kommunikation Exchange 2007

Ein wirklich guter Blogeintrag findet sich zu diesem Thema auf dem Blog von Elan Shudnow.

Wichtig war für mich die grundsätzliche Aussage:

By default, Client to Server Authentication is encrypted using TLS via this Client Receive Connector. TLS is advertised and when using POP3/IMAP4, basic authentication, credentials will only be available after initiating a TLS encrypted connection

Jedoch sollte man sich wirklich den gesamten Artikel zu Gemüte führen… :-)

Feiertage in Outlook 2007

meine Feiertage stehen nicht in meinem Outlook 2007, obwohl diese doch bis 2012 enthalten sein sollten. Wie bekomme ich die deutschen Feiertage hinzu? Diese Lösung funktioniert, wobei die Feiertage dann als “Frei” (Frei/Gebucht Info) markiert sind.

1. in Outlook unter Extras/Optionen den Reiter “Einstellungen” auswählen

2. Kalenderoptionen auswählen und Feiertage hinzufügen (Land selbst auswählen), Import bestätigen

3. Jetzt sollten die deutschen Feiertage im Kalender eingetragen sein.

Search Tool (next generation…) für Outlook

Also, Bill Gates hat Xobni als “die nächste Generation von Social Networks” bezeichnet (laut newsweek). Hierzu findet sich mittlerweile eine öffentliche Beta.

Zitat:

After a quick install, you’ll see the new Xobni toolbar appear in Outlook - and suddenly information will become much easier to find. When a new email arrives, the sender’s full communication history appears in the Xobni sidebar, including past conversations, attachments and contact details. Xobni also includes a blazing fast email search tool.

Import von vCard in Outlook 2007

bei Xing gibt es die Funktion alle Kontakte in eine vCard Datei exportieren zu lassen. Nach dem Import erscheint nur der 1. Kontakt aus der Datei in Outlook 2007. Nach ein bißchen “googlei” hab ich dann eine Lösung gefunden:

1) Open Windows Contacts

2) Click Import

3) Select vCard (VCF file)

4) Select all the contacts to import, then click Open.

5) Switch to Outlook.

6) Choose File, then Import and Export.

7) Choose “Import Internet Mail and Addresses”, then click OK

8) Select Outlook Express…or Windows Mail. Uncheck Import Mail.

9) Click Next.

10) Decide how you want to handle duplicates, then click Finish
