I’ve just spent two days tracking down a lousy got-ya when using HP Data Protector 6.1 with Exchange 2007 running on Windows 2008.
It mainly boiled down to the MAPI interface not allowing me to sign in using the Exchange service account I set up.
You must disable IPv6 on the main interface or else MAPI doesn’t work correctly.
Just to list all the steps involved to save someone else out there a ton of pain…
1. To disable IPv6 in Windows 2008 you must create the DWORD ‘DisabledComponents’ value under the HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpip6Parameters key and set it to 0xFFFFFFFF.
2. Install MAPI (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e17e7f31-079a-43a9-bff2-0a110307611e&displaylang=en&displaylang=en) on the Exchange server.
3. Install the Data Protector Exchange Integration agent on the Exchange server.
4. Set the Data Protector service on the Exchange Server to run under an account with Exchange Organization Administrator rights. Also make sure the account is in the Administrators group for the server.
5. On the Exchange server go into ‘Local Security Policy’ in the Administrative Tools menu. In the ‘Local PolicyUser Rights Assignment’ group add the Admin account from step 4 to both the ‘Act as part of the operating system’ and ‘Log on as a Service’
6. Make sure the admin account has a mailbox in the Exchange environment.
7. Open up a command line and change directory to ‘ C:Program FilesOmnibackbin’. Run the command ‘mbx_bar.exe create’. This will pop up a dialog box which you can then create a MAPI profile. Use must use the Exchange admin account you’ve been using all along at this point. This is the most critical task to succeed with.
Once this dialog disappears run the command ‘mbx_bar.exe chkconfig’. It should return a ‘*RETVAL*0′ which in English means everything is ok.
8. In Data Protector add the Exchange admin account to the Admin/Operator group under the Users drop down.
9. Now try and create a backup job in Data Protector and remember to use upper case letters for the Username and Domain name when you’re prompted for them.
Good Luck!! I hope this helps…
If I get enough comments I’ll take screen captures of the procedure and make it a little clearer.
>online casinohe earth spins on its axis at 950km/h at our latitude, and the earth orbits the sun at 107278.87 km/h… and the sun spins at 845000 km/h around the milky way… How come when the DeLorean goes back through time it is in the same precise spot 30 years previously!? Impressive for a car that tops out at 88mph!
Why oh why hasn’t Apple done this for the rest of the native iPhone’s applications (mail, sms, notes, etc.)
Sigh…
It looks like there won’t be much of an excuse for not updating my blog anymore…
The WordPress iPhone Application will be hitting the iTunes App Store shortly and allows blogging whilst out and about. The app also supports the iPod Touch so you’ll be able to blog in any good (wifi enabled) coffee shops and airports…
Check out the teaser vid on the Wordpress iPhone post.
[Update] The Wordpress App is out now in the iTunes App Store!! It seems to work fairly well but doesn’t seem to do wysiwyg editing, i.e. all editing is in html mode.
According to O2 Ireland, the most they can ever see an Irish O2 customer use in terms of data usage is 1GB per month. To me this is quite a small amount given the entire point of the iPhone 3G is the revolutionary internet features.
To this end I intend to post the amount of data I use in a month.
In the first 24 hours cellular data usage I’ve managed to clock up:
33.3MB Download
and
2.6MB Upload.
In both work and home I have internet wireless points so this should reduce my daily amount of data usage quite significantly.
I’ll post again in a few days and update how I’m getting on…
Woo hoo!
The Carphone Warehouse on Henry Street had a few on general sale and I was able to get my 16GB iPhone!
Seemingly the O2 Store on Henry St only had 11 8GB iPhones this morning… Fairly surprising!
Not blogging for long… Got to go play! 
I’ve just received a call from the Henry St O2 shop saying that there won’t be enough iPhones in stock tomorrow for my pre-order to be fulfilled.
This is strange since I was informed that I was ‘maybe the second person’ to pre-order the 16GB iPhone in that store. I don’t doubt the sincerity of the guy who rang me, I’m just annoyed that I’ll have to wait several more weeks for mine even though I pre-ordered on July 2nd.
Anyone else get a call too?
I have just completed a (forced) upgrade to my Macbook Pro with a 320GB Seagate (ST9320320AS). “Forced” simply because I woke up this morning turned on my mac and suddenly heard a load of clicking sounds!
I can confirm that this model of drive is compatible with the Macs and was actually a little quicker than the original hard drive.

It’s quite easy to do but it does involve over 20 screws being undone!
We have just got back from the second days photo shoot just off Grand Canal Dock a short while ago. In all there were over 100 people who braved the second night running of nude portraiture.
Thankfully it wasn’t all outdoors like the previous night as Spencer used the new tower block of apartments just off the Grand Canal Dock area to shoot what could be described as his most loved up photos of the Dublin Installations.
The couples who turned up for the 3.30AM shoot were placed on the balconies and were put in two poses. The first was of each couple simply kissing and the second shot was of the couples hugging (whilst nude of course).
The second setup was with the singletons and the couples together in a pose with our backs facing away from the camera. It was all done quite quickly in comparison to the previous day where we braved the elements for several hours.
Lastly, around 50 or so women were brought up to the roof of the building and were shot laying on their sides. Us guys just had to wait it out on the road below but we did see a couple of women up on top of the building (see pic).
The camaraderie of the people we met was simply amazing. We had all braved the icy waters the previous night and, in a peculiar way, brought us together since we all had a common bond that we instantly chat and laugh about.
For anyone who reads this blog and is apprehensive about doing through such an experience, my only advice is this… GO DO IT!!! The people that I spoke to traveled from various parts of the county and from various European countries to experience such an enriching event. Everyone left with a smile and in good spirits and will have fabulous memories for a lifetime.
What a crazy morning!!!
Having amazingly managing to wake myself up at 2am, myself and (allegedly) 2699 other nudist/artsy/inebriated/hippie/cool/Dublin people managed to catch the free buses from outside the Customs House to the south pier of Dublin Port (Pigeon House Rd). Everyone was in great spirits with random outbursts of cheering and general merriment.
Some of us did have a little paranoia set in that this was somehow the governments response to the Lisbon No vote… Bumping off a load of No voters on a dark pier in the middle of the night!! LOL
The walk down the pier took forever and seemed to have no end due to the fact that the sea was extremely calm either side of us and that it was pitch black.
As we huddled together (in our clothes I might add) waiting for sunrise we all seemed to amazed by the sheer numbers of people coming to the event. Personally I thought that there was going to be 1200 people at most but we ended up with over double that amount and more!!! Not bad for 3AM on a Saturday morning in Dublin!!
The stripping off happened quite quickly and far from what you might think, no one ogled each other or were generally inappropriate. Yeah we weren’t blind but after a few seconds we seemed to all realise that it’s nothing we hadn’t seen before and that without all the designer clothes and stuff we’re all pretty much the same.
Walking along a pier open to the elements with several cargo and passenger ships going by (Stena Line we know you were looking!!!!) made us strangely liberated!!! There’s something indescribable about mass nudity in public… It’s a moment that burns in to your head and makes you lose all those prudish hangups that we Irish have gathered over the years!
We did our three poses on the pier (standing facing the sunrise, laying back on the ground staring up to the sky like we were sunbathing, and then a strange one where we all went into a fetal position) and then we moved back down the pier for the next shots.
However… The rain set in and in an extraordinary version of Chinese Whispers we found out that the second setup was being canceled and we would be going to a third ’surprise’ setup. Ankle deep on the sandy beach next to the pier!!!
The group that I was with pretty much agreed to not do it for fear of pneumonia caused by the freezing water and the driving rain. That was before we saw the number of people doing it!!! Hundreds of people jumping around cheering and generally going crazy!!! It took seconds before we raced on to the beach in our birthday suits…
The shot on the beach took about 5 minutes but it was awesome to be part of!!! I’m sure the photo will turn up at some point in the future and you can see what I meant! The pain of the cold water was definitely worth it!
So there you go… I bet none of you guessed that I would be one of ‘those people’ hehe

I made it into the Sunday Independent (Page 3) and Sunday Times (Page 3) along with about 150 others in the beach shot.
