    "Remote Desktop Services will stop working because this computer is past grace period and has not contacted at least a valid Windows Server 2012 license server. Click this message to open RD Session Host Server Configuration to use Licensing Diagnosis"

    Linux restart issues - force reboot

    ubuntu10If a linux reboot fails by just running the reboot command (sometimes there are run away or hanging processes), you may get the following errors (if you view the logs of systemctl, it will give you a better indication of what is crashing and not letting it reboot):

    Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
    See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.

    A quick way to fix this (short of pulling the plug), is to force reboot using systemctl:

    gimp icon

    This comes up over and over again. Accidentally drag or move a window in GIMP and then you go both panels on one side. As annoying as it may be, there's an easy way to reset the windows layout to their default location.

    Open Gimp,

    Go to Edit menu -> Preferences -> expand the Interface item -> Window Management -> Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values

    Fix NTFS partition errors under Linux

    ubuntu10We'll use Ubuntu for this example, but essentially you need an ntfs-3g package, which contains ntfsfix. Under Ubuntu, run the following to install it:

    sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

    Then this (where /dev/sdd1 would be your ntfs disk):

    ntfsfix /dev/sdd1

    Depending on what you are trying to fix, you may want to use options -b and -d.

    Remove mailbox from quarantine (Exchange 2013 and up)

    Exchange Support and ConsultingMicrosoft has simplified the process of removing a mailbox from quarantine starting with Exchange 2013. (Before it was a more complicated process, involving registry edits).

    Keep in mind that Exchange quarantines mailboxes for a reason. It tries to correct a problem automatically, but if it fails, it will quarantine the mailbox again, so the root cause of the problem needs to be identified.

    First, you need to find which mailbox was quarantined. Open Exchange management shell and run the follow codelet:

    MySQL add second super user (root)

    mysql logoThis comes up many times when you need to add a backup super user to MySQL (or MariaDB). Passwords are lost, forgotten, etc and although MySQL allows for a fairly quick password reset, it is always a good idea to have a backup.

    Login as root and run the following query. It will add a new user, called "sysadminuser", with access to localhost (ie: the current machine locally). This new user will be allowed to login using the password: "passwordfortheuser". (Change these as needed):
