SPONSOR: Free Report: Is Outsourcing PKI Best?
============================================================
===========
Learn the security and operational issues of implementing
and managing
internal public key infrastructures (PKI). Properly
implemented PKIs
require a lot of new knowledge within the organization and
processes
that must be met with strict and formal structures. For this
reason,
this paper argues that it may be best to outsource PKI
requirements.

Windows Advisor: When E-Mail Profiles Attack
RSS feeds and calendars up Outlook with errors; pesky
Passport
reminders that work too well.
By Zubair Alexander
(NOTE: Chris Wolf's "Tech Line" column
will return
next week. In the mean time, continue to send him
questions at chrischriswolf.com.)
Q: I'm using Outlook 2007. My e-mail profiles are working
fine but I'm
getting errors for my RSS feeds and published calendars.
Here are the
errors:
* Task "RSS Feeds" reported error (0x8004010F):
"The operation
failed. An object cannot be found."
* Task "Published Calendars" reported error
(0x8004010F): "The
operation failed. An object cannot be found."
Restarting the computer didn't help. How can I get rid of
this error?
/-----------------------------------------------------------

GOT A WINDOWS, EXCHANGE OR VIRTUALIZATION QUESTION OR
NEED
TROUBLESHOOTING HELP? Or, perhaps you're looking for a
better explanation than what's provided in the manuals or
a
TechNet article? Describe your dilemma in an e-mail to
the
MCPmag.com editors at editormcpmag.com; the best
questions
get answered in this column by our experts and the
submitter will be sent a Redmond magazine T-shirt.
When you send your questions, please include your full
first
and last name, location, certifications (if any) with
your
message. (If you prefer to remain anonymous, specify this
in
your message but submit the requested information for
verification purposes.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
---/
A: Follow the procedure described below to get rid of the
error.
I've tested this on Windows Vista Ultimate running Outlook
2007 but
it should also work on other versions of Windows Vista.
1. Export your RSS feeds in Outlook 2007 by going to File,
Import
and Export, Export RSS Feeds to an OPML file. Select all
the
feeds and save them to your hard drive. You'll use this
file
to import the feeds in a later step.
2. Close Outlook 2007.
3. Start Outlook 2007 at the Start, Run by typing
"Outlook
/cleansharing" (without the quotes).
4. Go to Tools, Account Settings and on the RSS Feeds tab
verify
that all your RSS feeds have been cleared. You'll notice
that
the data from your feeds still exist in the RSS Feeds
folder
in Outlook. Starting Outlook with the above switch will
clear
any calendar subscriptions. In addition, it will also
clear
subscriptions that you may have to the SharePoint sites.
5. Delete the RSS Feed data folders in Outlook 2007. For
example,
if you're subscribing to any feeds from blogs, delete
those
folders so there are no subfolders left under the RSS
Feeds folder.
6. Wait for several minutes to ensure that everything is
synchronized with the Exchange server.
7. Import the OPML file that was saved in Step 1.
8. Press F9 to do a Send/Receive All.
Hopefully, this will fix the problem.
Q: How can I keep Microsoft Passport reminders from
appearing on
my Windows XP desktop?
A: You can prevent the Microsoft Passport reminder from
popping up
on your desktop by modifying the registry. Here's the
procedure:
1. Click on Start, Run and type regedit.exe to start the
registry editor.
2. Go to the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMessengerService
3. In the right-hand pane, double-click PassportBalloon.
4. Set the value under Value data to 0A to stop the
reminders
from popping up.
If the messages still continue to pop up, try rebooting your
computer.
