Have you ever deleted the old administrative group, before moving your public folders?
(me too) To recreate the Folder Hierarchies, and get your Offline Address Book publishing again, fire up ADSIedit.msc, and keep reading.

Create the “Folder Hierarchies” object under the Exchange Administrative Group
1. Right click on Exchange Administrative Group
2. Select New Object
3. Select msExchPublicFolderTreeContainer for the class and click Next
4. Enter the following for the value: Folder Hierarchies, click Next
5. Click Finish

Create the Public Folder Tree Object
1. Right click CN=Folder Hierarchies -> New Object
2. Selected msExchPFTree for the class
3. For the value we entered, “Public Folders” and clicked next
4. Click on the “More Attributes” button, selected msExchPFTreeType and set the
value to 1. Note: This is very important that this value is set to a value of 1 as
this tells Exchange that this is a MAPI Tree
5. Click Ok and then finish

Assign the pwner of the public folders:
1. Get the properties of the newly created “Public Folders” Tree object in ADSIEdit.
2. Copy the distinguishedname value to the clipboard.
3. Navigate to the Storage group that contains the Public Folder Store for this
server and get properties of the server.
4. Locate the msExchOwningPFTree attribute and paste in the value that was copied
to the clipboard in step 2. Click OK.
5. Restart the Information Store Service.

Recently, Cryptednets.org suffered a catastrophic failure of a drive array during an electrical storm.
This is normally not a big deal, (I *do* rip backups every now and again) but it died badly, and slowly.
And, during the throes of its demise, corrupted something like 30gb of MySQL databases.
Logs have been manually replayed, and the entire server is now running virtually. Seemingly much faster now, too.
At least this way, the lightning can’t kill hardware that doesn’t actually exist, right?

## Snip from Wikipedia
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, expressed opposition to the bill stating, [It] is threatening the rights of people in America, and effectively rights everywhere, because what happens in America tends to affect people all over the world. Even though the Sopa and Pipa acts were stopped by huge public outcry, it’s staggering how quickly the US government has come back with a new, different, threat to the rights of its citizens.

On October 5th, 2011, Steve Jobs lost his 6 year battle with pancreatic cancer.
The world has lost one of the greatest minds of our time. The Jolly Roger is flying at half-staff at Cryptednets.org. You will be missed, friend.

I’ve recently gotten some interest in starting up the group again. If you want to get together,
I’m thinking we could meet on Sunday afternoons. Who’s in?
I know of 5 people currently interested, with skill levels from absolute novice, to BOFH. ;)
We should also decide on a place to meet. I’m guessing we’ll want at least a wireless connection at our meeting location.
Any suggestions? Just comment here, and fill in your email address (never displayed), so I can contact you.

It’s actually
Chipotle Radio. It plays a stream of *supposedly* what’s playing in all the restaurants in real time. I haven’t tried to listen on my phone while in there, but the interface is retro and cool, and the music is a great, eclectic mix that’s easy to work to. Check it out here.

DavMail Gateway allows you to use evolution to connect to Exchange 2007 and 2010. Super convenient! Remember, the default settings removes all mail from your Exchange mailbox, so uncheck that setting before you use it.
