Grant FullAccess to regular Active Directory user in Exchange 2010
In Exchange 2010 I needed to add a non mail-enabled user to use a shared mailbox. (Although technically it wasn’t a shared mailbox but a users mailbox in Exchange terminology) Add when I tried to grant the user Full Access Permissions I could only see Mail-Enabled users.
This required me to use the Powershell Command:
Add-MailBoxPermission reception@localdomain.com -User:'CN=Full Name,OU=Users,OU=City,DC=localdomain,DC=com -AccessRights FullAccess
What is interesting is that after performing the above, other non-mail enabled users could be added via the GUI afterwards….

Download ncat Win32 (precompiled)
December 2012 Update: A newer precompiled version is available here: http://nmap.org/ncat/
So I was having a hunt around for the modified version of Netcat which is called Ncat developed by the lovely people who wrote the infamous port scanner Nmap. I needed the Win32 binaries for it and after a brief internet trowel it couldn’t be found. So I downloaded the source and compiled it and made it presentable for download for everyone else.
Ncat-5.21 Packed with UPX Packer Ncat-5.21 without UPX Packer
Happy Ncatting :-)
Clear Print Queue via Batch Script
Had a client whose print queue would jam up and they couldn’t restart the printer spooler until you manually cleared the spooled documents. So I stole this piece of code and put it in a batch file. Works wonders!
@echo off net stop "print spooler" del /q "%SystemRoot%system32spoolPRINTERS*.*" net start "print spooler"
Update: The reason the spooler was dying was because when he printed a PDF document he would close Acrobat before the document finished and in turned killed the Print Spooler. Because we charge by the hour, he didn’t want it to be investigated any further, which is fine by me!
