How To Stop Windows Vista From Changing Desktop Icons Automatically

Posted on 04:21 by Unknown
Despite being one of the commonly used Windows operating systems across the globe, there are times when Windows Vista operating system starts showing up errors and glitches. Well, you cannot really come across any gadget or software that does not err. All that matters the most is what on earth you can do about it to get it fixed at the earliest.

When it comes to Windows Vista, there are a number of ways by which you can get back the operating system work at its peak performance. One of the common issues associated with the OS is that at times the size and the placement of desktop icons are changed automatically. As aforementioned, there are some easy and fast ways to get this fixed. Follow these simple guidelines from our Windows Vista help team to fix this issue.

Fixing Vista Problems
  • You can start out the process by clicking on the Windows Start menu located on the left side bottom corner of your computer screen. There is another way to access the Start menu and that is to press the Windows key on your computer keyboard.
  • Next up, you need to click on the icon that is labeled by Control Panel from the list of Start menu options. After that, in the Control Panel window, click on Folder Options followed by Show Hidden Folders and then press the OK button.
  • Now, you need to double click on the Users option and select your user name. Choose AppData and click on the option named Local.
  • Once you do that, you need to go through the list of applications until you locate the option named IconCache.db. Right-click on this, and select Delete and hit the OK button for confirming your choice. After that, you need to close down the window.
  • Following which, you need to right-click on the icon for Recycle Bin on the desktop and select Empty Recycle Bin and click on the OK button. When you delete the file from the Recycle Bin, it will be permanently removed from the corrupted icon files on your computer.
  • Lastly, you can finish off the process by restarting your computer. Doing so will make your Vista computer rebuild the icon cache.

So, that was some information to force your Windows Vista computer to stop changing the icons. For further information or if you unlikely get in to any issues while trying to perform the above steps, please feel free to get in touch with our Windows Vista help team.

Interact Intranet: Diagnosing problems with AD sync

Posted on 13:19 by Unknown
From time to time you might notice issues with accounts in your intranet not properly synchronizing with your AD system.  If this is the case the first step is to contact support which will give you the fastest resolution to your problem.

If you are handy with SQL and AD you can try to identify the issue yourself by examining the AD sync logs which are stored in a table called UMI_audit.

This query will return any errors from the last two weeks:
    select * from UMI_audit where errormsg is not null

The most common issues we encounter with AD sync are accounts that have been orphaned as a result of incorrect expiration.

If your IT department isn't willing to give you AD access and you aren't sure how to verify data on the AD side, I'd recommend installing Softerra LDAP browser.  With a minute or two of configuration you'll have a READ only view into your organizations AD system.

Softerra LDAP Browser is a lightweight version of Softerra LDAP Administrator. It supports read-only operations that do not modify LDAP directory data, e.g. browsing, search, export, etc. For complete, fully functional management of LDAP directories you need Softerra LDAP Administrator.

Softerra LDAP Browser is the industry-leading software for browsing and analyzing LDAP directories. It provides a wide variety of features for handy viewing of directory contents, getting information about directory infrastructure and objects.

Right after the very first release Softerra LDAP Browser has become a real breakthrough in IT market thanks to its simplicity and power in equal measures. The software holds highest positions for 10 years already. Some of its features are unique - to date there is anything to match their efficiency in the existing LDAP software packages.

Intranet, Portal, Social Network, Community vendor list

Posted on 07:56 by Unknown
In my opinion, the days when intranets were distinct from social networks is behind us.  Most intranet vendors these days include every social feature that social network vendors offer, and vice versa.    Similar to the transition half a dozen years ago when the term intranet consumed the notion of portals.

Below is a list of a few vendors that brand themselves as social, intranet, portal and community providers.  Feel free to email me or comment below if I'm missing anyone.

Interact Intranet v5 Search Index Rebuild

Posted on 07:03 by Unknown
Each time we apply an update to our Interact v5 environment our search index jams and fails to index new content.  After 5-6 of these occurrences I've discovered the trick to rectify this issue which allows the search index to begin functioning in a normal manner again - it also indexes content that it had previously missed. 

While I don't recommend any customers use this process without first discussing with Interact, I'm posting the steps because of the frequency in which I need to refer to them:
  • Login to SQL and open the Interact db
  • Expand Storage
  • Expand Full Text Catalogs
  • Right click on Catalog1
  • Click Rebuild
The repair will take a few minutes depending upon the size of your index (we have roughly 10k items in our search index and the rebuild takes about 10 minutes).  While the index is being rebuilt nothing will be returned in your search results.
