טיפול ב - Buffer Overrun Detected

לעיתים אנו נתקלים בשגיאה  buffer overrun בעת הפעלת אחד ממוצרי האופיס.
זה קורה כאשר המילון מותאם אישית שלנו גדול מדי.
אם ניכנס לקובץ custom.dic נוכל לראות שם רצף של סטרינג מאוד ארוך.

הפתרון:
לרוקן את קובץ custom.dic , שנמצא בנתיב הבא:
DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS->USERNAME->APPLICATION DATA->MICROSOFT->PROOF
יש להכנס לקובץ ולמחוק את תכולתו (CTRL+A ולאחר מכן מחיקה ושמירת הקובץ).

במערכות הפעלה ויסטה ומעלה יש להכנס לתקיית users במקום DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS

How to increase the Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 18-gigabyte database size limit

הבעיה:
שרת הדואר Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 מוגבל ברמת ה- DB כברירת מחדל לגודל מקסימלי של 18GB
ניתן בצורה יחסית קלה ופשוטה להגדיל את המגבלה עד ל - 75GB

הסבר כיצד להגדיל את המגבלה  ל - 75GB:

How to increase the Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 18-gigabyte database size limit

New functionality has been included with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). You can now configure database size limits.

The database size limits for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition have been increased from 16 GB to 18 GB. The limit can be increased to as much as 75 GB by using a registry key.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition does not have a maximum database size limit.

To increase the Exchange Server 2003 SP2 database size, follow these steps:

Important Before you increase the maximum size of an Exchange database, verify that sufficient hard disk space is available for the larger database.
  1. On the computer that is running Exchange 2003 SP2, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Click one of the following registry subkeys, as appropriate for the store that you want to increase:
    • For a mailbox store, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Server name\Private-Mailbox Store GUID
    • For a public folder store, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Server name\Public-Public Store GUID
  3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  4. In the New Value #1 box, type Database Size Limit in Gb, and then press ENTER.
  5. Right-click Database Size Limit in Gb, and then click Modify.
  6. Click Decimal, and then type an integer from 1 to 75 in the Value data box.

    Note These integer values represent the maximum size of the database in gigabytes (GB). For example, a value of 75 represents a database that has a maximum size of 75 GB.
  7. Click OK, and then exit Registry Editor.
  8. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
    2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
      net stop msexchangeis
    3. After the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service has stopped successfully, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
      net start msexchangeis
  9. Examine the Application log to verify that the database size has been set successfully. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, click Run, type eventvwr, and then click OK.
    2. In the Event Viewer tool, click Application.
    3. Double-click event ID 1216 to verify that the database size has been set successfully.




הערות:
1. כשמתחילים להתקרב למגבלת הגודל ( 18 גיגה במקרה של ברירת המחדל ו 75 גיגה במקסימום) יופיעו הודעות ב - EVENT LOG וכשממש נהיה קרובים למגבלה, ה - service של ה - information store לא יעלה באופן אוטומאטי ועשוי להגיע עד למצב שלא נוכל לבצע mount ל - information store

2. הגבלת הגודל אינה חלה על גרסת Enterprise

Error events are generated when you try to perform a system state backup on a Windows Server 2003-based computer


To resolve this problem, generate a list of providers that are installed on the system. To do this, run the following command at a command prompt:
vssadmin list providers
This command generates the following output:
Provider name: 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0'
Provider type: System
Provider Id: {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}
Version: 1.0.0.7
Note This is the default output only if the in-box Volume Shadow Copy Service system provider is installed.

If the command returns additional providers and if you experience any of the error events that are described in the "Symptoms" section, contact the vendor to determine whether an update is available for the provider in question.

To configure the Ntbackup tool to use the in-box Volume Shadow Copy Service system provider as the default provider, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
  2. Locate the following registry subkey, and then right-click it:
    HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore
  3. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  4. Type UseMicrosoftProvider as the name for the new DWORD value, and then press ENTER.
  5. Double-click UseMicrosoftProvider. To enable the new feature, type 1 in the Value box. To disable the new feature, type 0 in the Value box.
  6. Press ENTER, and then exit Registry Editor.
  7. Restart the server.
  8. Use the Ntbackup tool to perform a system state backup.

Cisco Factory Reset Password Recovery

If you need to do a "factory reset" on one of these you can.


Connect to the console using serial cable.
Switch on while hitting CTRL-BREAK

(on laptop hit FN-CTRL-BREAK)

 

Tricky, may take a few attempts - need to be hitting it really early on in the boot process.
Get rommon>

 

confreg 0x2142

 

OR

1. >confreg, >yes, >no to everything except "ignore system config info".

2. >reset


It will then reboot from an alternate configuration file, and you're in! Now however, to clear the existing setup and revert the router to a good state.
  1. Router>enable
  2. Router#conf t
  3. Router(config)config-register 0x2102
  4. Router(config)exit
  5. Router>write memory
  6. Router>reload
