Today, while I was configuring an Exchange 2010 server, I got the following error: The WinRM […] was notified that the request size exceeded the configured MaxEnvelopeSize quota The MaxEnvelopeSize parameter defines the maximum size (in Kb) of a single SOAP request. Sometimes you may need to increase the value to be able to run a big script/command…
If you have a mailbox hosted on a Microsoft Exchange server, you’re probably using Outlook (or its web variant) as mail client. Thanks to a suggestion by a colleague, I’ve just discovered a way to access your Exchange mailbox (including calendar and contacts) using any mail clients. You only need to install on your PC an opensource…
If you administer a Websphere MQ server, it may happen that someone ask you to manage the messages: create a backup, move messages from a queue to another one… The main administration tool for WMQ, MQ Explorer, doesn’t support those operations; you can only browse the queues or send test messages: I recently discovered a…
The PCBShopper website compares the prices of the most used PCB services. Jeremy Ruhland published on his Github’s repository an Eagle script (ulp, user language program) that automatically gets the required information from an Eagle project and compiles the PCBShopper web form. Let’s see how to use it: – first click on pcbshopper.ulp and display his source code (RAW button). – save…
I’m working with Eagle to prepare a PCB for a Nixie clock. I wasn’t able to find a library for the Nixie I chose so I had to create it from scratch. Nixie’s datasheet has the following drawing about pins disposition: Let’s see how to draw it in Eagle, thanks to an ULP (User Language Program). Choose File – Run ULP……
It certainly happened to you that, when you connect a new USB device to your Windows PC, the operating system assigns the device a COM port with a high number because of the previous ones are in use: Windows indeed keeps the COM port reserved even if the device is not physically connected to the computer.…
If you read some of my latest projects (for example Home automation with Telegram BOT) you probably noticed that I really like the node.js javascript runtime. The framework is frequently updated (the moment I’m writing the latest version is 4.3.1) but if you use a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian you may have found that the official packages are quite outdated. For example, if…
Recently, I received some Arduino clones, mostly from chinese webstores, that use the CH340G chip as USB-to-serial converter instead of the more common (and I suppose more expensive) FTDI chip: Windows natively does not support that chip, which is not automatically recognized: You must download the driver from the manufacturer’s website. Once unzipped, you can update the driver…
Today I noticed that some Windows servers were not applying the correct GPOs (Group Policy Objects). Troubleshooting the problem, I found the event id 1065 in the Windows eventlog: A GPO was indeed configured with a WMI filter and the server, not being able for some reason to perform a filter check, aborted all the processing of the policies.…
After having emptied a datastore on my vSphere cluster (using the Storage vMotion feature to hot move the virtual machines) I tried to delete it but I got the following error message: The resource <datastore-id> is in use Browsing the datastore, I wasn’t able to find any files that could explain why it was in use… I had…
