Laptop Battery Not Working - Discharge Static

If your battery is not powering up your laptop, one of the most common reasons is that there is too much static in your machine.  Remove the battery and power lead, hold the power button for 10 seconds to discharge the static. Replace battery and hopefully you are back up and running.

Cannot Close Additional Mailboxes in Outlook 2007/2010 with Exchange 2010

When a user has been given full access permissions to a mailbox in Exchange 2010 (In Exchange Management Console under ‘Recipient Configuration’ -> ‘Mailbox’, right click the User and select Manage Full Access Permissions), Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 will automatically display this mailbox.

After removing the Additional Mailbox/es in Outlook’s Account Settings and going through the ‘Manage Full Access Permissions’ process above and removing the name of the user who has the now unwanted mailbox, it still remains in the list of mailboxes in Outlook.

In order to remove this residual mailbox from the user’s Outlook, log in to the Exchange Server and click ‘Start’ -> ‘Run’, type ‘adsiedit.msc’and click ‘OK’.

When ADSIEdit opens up, in the left pane will be ADSIEdit

Underneath this you should see ‘Default naming context [YOUR.SERVER.NAME]’.

If it says ‘Configuration [YOUR.SERVER.NAME]’, ‘RootDSE [YOUR.SERVER.NAME]’ or

‘Schema [YOUR.SERVER.NAME]’, right click on it and select ‘Settings’.

Under ‘Connection Point’ -> ‘Select a well know naming context:’ pick ‘Default naming context’ from the dropdown list and click ‘OK’.

Now drill down in the left pane to the OU that  contains the User whose mailbox you want to stop automatically sharing.

On the relevant ‘CN=UserName‘ you want to stop auto-sharing, right click and select ‘Properties’.

Under the ‘Attribute Editor’ tab, scroll down to ‘msExchDelegateListLink’ and highlight it, then click the ‘Edit’ button.

Highlight the User Name you wish to STOP automatically sharing TO, and click ‘Remove’.

Click ‘OK’, ‘Apply’, and ‘OK’ again.

You can now close ADSIEdit on the server.

The next time you open Outlook, after a short time, the unwanted mailboxes should disappear.
