In response to the amount of comments I’ve had (which are way way more than I was ever expecting!) on my Exchange Mailbox Recovery article, I’ve written a script to convert your guids from the bad format that exmerge gives you to the one thats required for updating the user account.
You can access it here. Please leave any feedback on this post.

At first it did my head in, but then something sorta clicked. Not been near the Taxonomy module yet, but when I do I expect that process to reverse.
Anyway, I decided I needed a module that will allow users to show their LastFM stuff on their profile pages. I couldn’t find one so I wrote one.
I stared out with the Onlinestatus module as it did something very similar to what I was hoping to achieve.
Anyway, the module is attached should you feel so inclined. (Requires the profiles module I think. The one I based it on does anyway, so it probably does too.)

The number one reason people come to this page is they want pictures in Outlook from the Global Address List.
It appears this is now possible using Outlook 2010 against Exchange 2010 as outlined by Ilse Van Criekinge in her Technet blog.
Here’s a couple of things I managed to cook up at work this week, again after spending an inordinate amount of time on Google looking for the answer and having to piece it together bit by bit.
The problem: how to store (and retrieve) staff photos in Active Directory. After the first twenty or so webpages I’d decided on using the jpegPhoto attribute. The secondary problem of getting the staff to submit to getting their pictures taken has already been solved by the new photopasses we’re all getting.

Today I recovered a single mailbox from backup tapes on an Exchange 2003 server. The user had been deleted from Active Directory. The mailbox had passed the retention time on the server and been purged from the Exchange database.
I found very very minimal documentation on how to do this, it was so sketchy that I was almost afraid to try this.
We only have a single Exchange 2003 Standard server, and I believe that its a little bit simpler if you have Enterprise or more Exchange servers. So, for those of you in the same boat, here’s how to do it. » Read the full post
So, previously, I detailed how to do web virtual hosting to directories on the file system. This is all well and good, but I want to have users pidgeon holed into their own directories, plus I want users own websites to be stored under their own directories in a similar format to that used in the previous article (eg. /home/user/web/example.org/subdomain)
The problem lies with mapping domain names (example.org) onto user accounts (Alice? Bob?). This is where Apache and mod_rewrite come to the rescue again. On Wintermute I’ve installed Apache 2, but this recipe will work just as well with Apache 1.3. » Read the full post
