PROBLEM:
How to run Unifi Controller as a Service in Windows 2008 R2 x64?

SOLUTION:
1.) Must be running version 2.2.0 or Higher.
2.) Make sure UniFi is not running by shutting down the application.
3.) locate your java installation directory. On 64-bit, at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin" or on 32-bit at "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin"
4.) Add the directory above to the PATH varible in (Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables).
5.) Run a command prompt (as an Administrator)
6.) cd <unifi_base>. Usually "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Ubiquiti UniFi"
7.) java -jar lib\ace.jar installsvc
8.) net start Unifi
9.) Create Shortcut to the UniFi website (https://ipaddress:8443/)
10.) Change Icon on Shortcut to (%USERPROFILE%\Ubiquiti UniFi\unifi.ico)

NOTE: I attached the ICO for the UniFi Controller just incase.

PROBLEM:
How to enable USB to Serial adapter in Ubuntu 12.4.
Putty could not open port.
Enable non-admin users to access ttyUSB0.

SOLUTION:

Temp Work Around:
gksudo putty

FIX:
1.) Install the USB to Serial Adapter.

• Wait for a couple of second, then run "dmesg". You should see these message at the end of dmesg output.

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

• After that, unplug the device and type "lsusb". You will see a list of output similar to this.

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 03f0:4f11 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05e3:1205 Genesys Logic, Inc. Afilias Optical Mouse H3003
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15d9:0a33

• Plug in the USB-Serial Port converter back, and run "lsusb" again, and you shall see an additional line, like this.

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 03f0:4f11 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 4348:5523 --- --- --- (notice the additional line!)
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05e3:1205 Genesys Logic, Inc. Afilias Optical Mouse H3003
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15d9:0a33

• Now we know the vendor id and the product id of the USB-Serial Port converter, this will enable us to load the linux kernel module "usbserial" to activate the device, like this :

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x4348 product=0x5523
Run "dmesg" again and you shall see lines similar like this :

usbserial_generic 1-1:1.0: generic converter detected
usb 1-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic

• As you can see, the new serial port device is mapped to /dev/ttyUSB0. You can instruct Ubuntu to load this module automatically by include the line : "usbserial vendor=0×4348 product=0×5523″ inside "/etc/modules" file.

2.) You will need to add your user to the DIALOUT group
sudo adduser <the user you want to add> dialout
sudo reboot[/list]

PROBLEM:
BSOD after converting Microsoft Windows 2003 to Virtual Machine.
Blue Screen of Death after P2V on Dell Server.

SOLUTION:
Physical server being build with the Dell OpenManage or HP Smart Start CD.

Seems this method of OS install sets a registry key that conflicts with the Integration Services install.

The key in question is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wdf01000\Group] = Base
changing the key to "WdfLoadGroup" and rebooting the VM allowed the Integration Services to install successfully.

PROBLEM:
How to Whitelist a domain or email address in Microsoft Exchange 2010?
Enable domain or email whitelist in Microsoft Exchange 2010.

SOLUTION:
Whitelist features are not available via Exchange Management Console (the GUI), so this will have to be completed via the Exchange Powershell.
Open powershell via the exchange menu item and run one of the following scripts, based on your requirement:

To check whats currently whitelisted (Bypassed Recipients):
Get-ContentFilterConfig

To whitelist a single email address:

$list = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenders
$list.add("*@domain.com")
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenders $list

To whitelist an entire domain:
   
$list = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenderDomains
$list.add("domain.com")
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains $list
