Quick and easy tip today. A user left the company and to free up the license used on Office365 but keep the user’s mailbox, you can easily convert the mailbox to a shared mailbox, which you don’t get charged for on Office365.
Basically, go into Exchange Admin Center > Recipients > Choose the Mailbox you want to convert and on the right side, click “Convert to Shared Mailbox”
That’s it!
To disable Clutter in Office365 via Powershell, simply do the following:
Connect to Office365 Powershell for your account
Then simply run this command to disable Clutter for all mailboxes:
Get-Mailbox | Set-Clutter –enable $false
That’s it! If you want to disable Clutter for a single mailbox, you can do the following:
Set-clutter -identity user@email.com-Enable $false
To do this via the Office365 Portal, just navigate to: Mail > Automatic Processing > Clutter and turn it off!
While trying to install Java today, I encountered an error that wouldn’t go away: Error 1603. Scouring Technet forums, blogs, etc. no one had a real sense of what the cause was. Some said it was an old Windows Update. Some said it was a bad Java installer package.
Eventually I found my solution: I was connecting through LogMeIn to the device. I ended the LogMeIn task and process, RDPed in, installed Java… and voila! It worked. Re-enabled LogMeIn and I was on my way.
I had some poor performance with XRDP, so I found this nugget of info that helped things a little:
Backup xrdp.ini (XRDP config)
sudo cp /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini /etc/xrdp/xrdp.back
Open the XRDP config with nano:
sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
Under [Globals] change max_bpp to 128 and add this line below:
use_compression=yes
Restart XRDP services:
systemctl restart xrdp.service
I’ve been playing with Centos recently and have been working on integrated it with a Windows Domain / VM I have setup. To ease accessing it, I found that it is possible setup XRDP (an open-source version of RDP) so that you can access Centos from a Windows system using regular RDP.
Assuming you already have your desktop environment setup, open up terminal and run the following as root:
yum -y install xrdp tigervnc-serverThen, start the service:
systemctl start xrdp.serviceTo see if it is running, type:
netstat -antup | grep xrdp
I had to run these commands to get it to work:
chcon -t bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp
chcon -t bin_t /usr/sbin/xrdp-sesman
Followed by restarting the service:
systemctl restart xrdp.service
Then all you have to do is enable the service:
systemctl enable xrdp.serviceAnd put in a firewall exclusion and reload the firewall:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3389/tcp
firewall-cmd --reloadThat’s it!
