A meeting update message or a meeting cancellation message is not delivered.

One of my user complained that he wasn't able to send a meeting update or meeting cancellation to any outside recipients . This is a big issue in our company because the organizer coordinate schedules of 5 to 25 (even more) consultants in the field. If they received the initial meeting schedule but not the cancellation or meeting update, then the coordinator is in trouble. In technical scenario. A Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization exchange communication. An Exchange 2003 user organizes a meeting and then send a meeting requests to an Exchange 2007 user.

The update or cancellation update is not delivered to the Exchange 2007 user. To troubleshoot this issue, you can check your Exchange 2003 SMTP queue where you can see this update or cancellation message still waiting to deliver. How to fix this issu

Recession officially over?

I read this article from CNNMoney.com "The Great Recession ended in June 2009 , according to the body charged with dating when economics downturns begin and end. but the news comes amid rising fears of a double-dip recession."  The comments posted in the website, majority doesn't agree. If you need more reading article, here's one from Europac.net website. "But, despite these clear and dramatic signs of mounting malaise, most economists continue to forecast relatively solid economic growth both now and in the future. According to the Third Quarter 2010 Survey of Professional Forecasters (released in mid-August by the Philly Fed), economists expect real GDP to grow by 2.9% this year, 2.7% next year, and will accelerate to 3.6% in 2012. Given that first half GDP is already well below their forecast for the year as a whole, these economists are therefore predicting a much better second half. If anyone knows where this momentum can be found, please let me know

GeoTrust updating Intermediate Certificate Authority (CA)

This is a follow-up article that I post last week about the Installation of GeoTrust SSL Digital Certificate . After the renewal and successfully installed of digital certificate to one of our web server I thought everything is working just fine. Just like other system administrator, I've used Microsoft Internet Explorer ver7.0, 8.0 and Chrome to test the new SSL digital certificate installation.

Buying a Domain Name in forums

Buying a domain name in various forums is sometimes very tricky. Someone is selling a domain name for example  MYIV.COM  requesting to post offer or by PM (private message). First interested buyer will post $500, $600 from the second buyer, $700 from the third buyer, and then later on you will see a post from the seller " High Offer $2000 received, BIN $4000 ". I don't know about you but this is fishy transaction to me, and I stop posting offer. As member of the forum, you are not allowed to question the owner post because "not related to a sale" or "not productive question" or other reasons. This is happening to any domain name forums that you might be part of, well at least one of the forum. Question to other domain name investors. How do you handle and approach this scenario?

Installing GeoTrust SSL Digital Certificate comes with error.

I just renewed the SSL digital certificate of one of our web server for another one year. I'm installing and renewing SSL digital certificate for many years but this time I encounter a digital error. So I tried to troubleshoot to learn what's going on, and provide solution to fix this problem. The renewal of digital certificate is the same process. You go to the server to create a new digital certificate, buy a SSL digital certificate from the vendor e.g. Verisign, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and other provider, and then submit it. I choosed GeoTrust because it is very reasonable price to maintain a secure tunnel from your client internet browser to the web server. The process is completed, the web server digital certificate is valid for another year. But I have some users complaining about " The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. " I find out this from my Windows Vista users. I know I can ask them to check wi
