How to Deactivate Google Buzz
Hello, As many people around the globe, I fell for Google Buzz out of curiosity and found myself following someone I *really* didn’t want to follow, causing them in chain to react as to why I am spying on them. Feeling myself upset by this unwanted intrusion into my privacy,
VmWare ESX 3.5i Kernel Panic on HP Proliant DL380 G6
About two months ago, after our brand new and shining disaster recovery redundant infrastructure was fully installed, up and running with already a few virtual servers running to test the performance of the environment, I was happily playing in this sandbox through vCenter for virtual infrastructure. Suddenly I shouted in

BSOD: Stop 0x0000007e CPQDTCT.SYS on HP Compaq dc7900 sff
Hi guys, long time no see … I’m back with some news for owners of HP Compaq dc7900 sff machines (obviously) who may experience BSOD under certain conditions (generally during logon phase, or at logon screen). After experiencing this crash on a dozen of machines and analyzing the minidumps, I
Enable SSH on vmWare ESX 3i [3.5.0]
Hi all, first of all my apologies for not having updated this blog in a long while. I’ve been overloaded with work, sick, overloaded with work, had my tonsils removed, we then moved offices and finally holidays came. During this time I’ve been extensively playing with the free release of
ccmsetup.log / State message with Topic Type 800 and TopicId
This error happened to me when deploying the ConfigMgr 2007 client to a machine who happened to be without certificate (you know, the PKI stuff you setup when installing ConfigMgr 2007, setting up root certificate authority & certificate autoenrollment). wmiprvse.exe launched ccmsetup.exe which terminated almost immediately. I went on to
EventID 2080 – DsAccess & SACL Right fix
We’ve had one of our AD Domain Controllers reporting that it didn’t have the SACL right. This was logged constantly on event ID 2080. We tried nearly everything but without success. This morning I came up with a solution to fix it, while trying to desperately find the ntSecurityDescriptor property
TF84037: There was a problem initializing the Microsoft Excel Team Foundation AddIn. Re-installing the Team Foundation Client may be required.
Having this error ? Here’s a link to the solution. (btw, yep, I’m back from holidays, and coping with work lag and tasks!) 🙂
How about some holidays?
It’s going to be nice to fly back to France to see my family on the French Riviera! I’m going to take a little break from ConfigMgr 2007 and my other projects. Just a little note to say that I’ll be online and following the blog, if you have any
Sharepoint: end of "exception state"
Good morning, this weeks starts brilliantly thanks to the help of Chris Winebarger. He gave me a solution to put an end to the most infamous sharepoint 0x80020009 exception when trying to activate Sharepoint Publishing Infrastructure on a site collection. Here is the solution with stsadm : stsadm -o activatefeature
Being a Shiva
I’m trying, but it’s a bit difficult with only two hands! My current menu is Configuration Manager 2007, Sharepoint, and various infrastructure-related tasks. Sharepoint is still driving me mad with the exception error 0x80020009, and I’m still trying to deploy my first package with SCCM 2007, unbelievable. I hope to
ConfigMgr 2007 and PKI
Hi all, just one little note today: I’ve finally successfully configured and installed Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. The thing is very tricky to install, mainly because most of the tasks pertaining to PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) that is, setting up the certificate infrastructure on your domain, are barely
