Show LastLogOnTime on Exchange 2007

While most organization works on Exchange 2003 for their email the move to the newer Exchange 2007 provides more functionality and  benefits.  Exchange 2007 not  only  provide a good  looking  EMC. But is packed with new  cool features  such  as  Unified Messaging, Message  tracking Center  and  mailbox  recovery and addresses also the limitation on the database size of  your the previous Exchange 2003.  Well theoretically it can go up to 16TB of Exchange database size  surpassing the previous 75GB limit on your Exchange 2003.  But I don’t think someone would want his database  size  to  be  16TB that  is way too  much to handle.  Ok  All  is  going  well until  one  day  the  CIO asked  me to send him a  list  of  people  who  are  not  reading  their  email.    So  I opened  up  my  Exchange  Admin  console and went  to  the  users mailbox node..and  guess  what.  it is  not  there  anymore.

Slow 3G Connection Fix for Windows

Are you using 3G Modems such as Huawei E220, Sierra Air Card, and others? I’m pretty sure that you can’t open some of the web sites. You can test this by going to http://support.microsoft.com and see if you could open the site.

Some people experience very slow overall internet connection and you’re not reaching the published speed of your 3G provider.

Now, I have good news for you. It’s a bug and it can be fixed. It’s a registry tweak that will adjust the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of Windows that’s just right for 3G connection. In layman’s term, it sets the maximum data it can sends at a time.

Welcome to our Web Site!

We are proud to announce that we are re-purposing this site back to our original idea of helping people with technology gadgets and it’s about time we should be able to use the technologies they have to it’s fullest.

We also would like to create a library of guides where people could go to and build or create things that they need to improve life so we can spend more time to solve things right away than thinking on how to do it.

In the future, we may distribute paper copies of the guides that we are going to publish over time so that it can reach and help more people in the world.

Thank you very much to our valued readers and I hope that this site will not only help you in the present but also in the future.
