No new emails were delivered for my Networknet.nl domain. Second configured MX record received new emails for my personal email address. I logged on the Exchange 2007 server but at first glance I could not see any issues. I opened Internet Explorer and browsed to http://centralops.net/co/EmailDossier.aspx.

Message 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources was shown during the SMTP session. I went back to the Exchange 2007 server and saw that I only had 700mb free on my C:\ volume. I opened Server Manager and checked Applications eventviewer and than I filtered for Error events. The result showed following error evenid 15006:
Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchangeTransport
Date: 12/30/2009 5:50:22 PM
Event ID: 15006
Task Category: ResourceManager
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer:w2k8
Description:
The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the available disk space has dropped below the configured threshold.
Resource utilization of the following resources exceed the normal level:
Queue database and disk space ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\data\Queue\mail.que") = 97% [Medium] [Normal=94% Medium=96% High=98%]
Queue database logging disk space ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\data\Queue\") = 97% [Medium] [Normal=94% Medium=96% High=98%]
No components were disabled because of back pressure.
The following resources are in the normal state:
Version buckets = 0 [Normal] [Normal=80 Medium=120 High=200]
Private bytes = 0% [Normal] [Normal=71% Medium=73% High=75%]
Physical memory load = 81% [limit is 94% before message dehydration occurs.]
So my free diskspace was low and the Microsoft Exchange Transport service stopped. I run the Windows Backup utility to backup my Exchange 2007 server and truncate the exchange log. This Exchange 2007 environment is hosted in a lab and no scheduled backup jobs are yet set. Something I should do quickly.

The following script will help you to silently install the East Asian languages for Windows XP. This checkbox can be easy set during the winnt.sif installation or when the image is syspreped. What happens if you did not set this option and you need to change this on more than 500+ Windows XP clients.
When checking the “Regional and Language Options” in Control Panel the checkbox is not set.
Create file c:\temp\east_asian.txt
[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup="7","8","9","10"
Create file c:\temp\east_asian.cmd
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ /v SourcePath /d \\server\share\windows_xp\ /f
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,/s:\\server\share\windows_xp\i386",/f:"C:\temp\east_asian.txt
Make sure you have the Windows XP source files on the network as the installation will need them. In 5 minutes the East Asian language files were installed.

If you are planning to deploy and install Windows 7 on your computer systems and you are downloading ISO files than this tool can help you in creating the USB or DVD’s installation files. Now days I only download the ISO file from MSDN of the Microsoft Volume Licensing websites.
The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.
To download the tool please click here. Run the setup, next and install.
Start the “Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool” shortcut from the menu.
Browse the iso file and click next.
Choose USB drive or DVD.
Select your removable drive and click Begin copying.
That’s it! Insert the USB drive and power the system, change the boot order and select the removable drive.

Adobe PDF file format is by default not available on a Windows Server 2003 or a SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) installation. Most organizations today use PDF files and it would be helpful for their users to have PDF files stored in the full text search index. To get this working install the Adobe Reader from Adobe website.
I installed the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.2 today and followed the instructions I found on the following links:
Searching with some keyword of the PDF files the result returned nothing. PDF files were not index.
Reviewed the Crawl log and found failing messages for PDF files:
Crawled (The filtering process could not process this item. This might be because you do not have the latest file filter for this type of item. Install the corresponding filter and retry your crawl. )
I also tried to add the path system variable to the Adobe Reader installation folder and did another full index but this did not help.
The solution for the problem was changing two registry entries:
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf and change Default Reg_Multi_SZ value to
{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf and change Default Reg_Multi_SZ value to
{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}
After these registry entries have been modified run iisreset; “net stop osearch” and “net start osearch”. Re-run the full index crawler on your content.
Thanks to the community I got the PDF icon and the PDF search working on the Sharepoint 2007 platform!
