For managed services providers (MSPs), Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) are kitchen sink terms. So common and familiar are they that we rarely bother to discuss their functions and how to use them most effectively. This is unfortunate, if for no other reason than the fact that AD and LDAP are critical to all the work that we do as IT experts—within our own organizations and with our customers. For this reason, it is imperative that we understand these concepts thoroughly and reflect seriously on how they can be applied most effectively within our organizations. To…
Understanding the meaning of the various error messages that we, system administrators, face in our daily routine is key to quickly pinpoint and troubleshoot issues and bottlenecks. So, among the more frequent errors on modern distributed systems, we have the “request timed out” and “destination host unreachable” messages. Errors like these may ruin anyone’s day. Actually, they are signs of a diverse range of issues that will surely require attention and immediate action. In this tutorial, we’ll dig a little bit into these errors, and talk about some tools to help troubleshoot them. 1. The Internet Control Message Protocol The Internet Control Message…
The solution that you will find everywhere for this error is to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine. If you have the 32bit version of office, then you have to install the 32 version of Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0. The same applies for 64th version. But, for me it didn’t worked. So I found on some blogs that I have to install the both versions (32 and 64bit) of Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0. I started by installing the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable. Normally windows will not let you do that windows will pop up this screen: There are two options for getting the other…
You would think that you can have full control of your Windows when you are its Administrator. However, when you try to delete some of the files from your computer, a Folder Access Denied message will pop up and say “You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder.” Looks like you still don’t have the final say on your operating system. In fact, in order to protect core files in Windows, Microsoft has created a NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller account in Windows to own these important files and prevent them from being removed. Therefore if you try to change or delete any of these…
Log4Shell is the name given to a critical zero-day vulnerability that surfaced on Thursday when it was exploited in the wild in remote-code compromises against Minecraft servers. The source of the vulnerability was Log4J, a logging utility used by thousands if not millions of apps, including those used inside just about every enterprise on the planet. What’s Log4J and what makes Log4Shell such a big deal? Log4J is an open source Java-based logging tool available from Apache. It has the ability to perform network lookups using the Java Naming and Directory Interface to obtain services from the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. The vulnerability takes advantage…
On Windows 10, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature that creates a lightweight environment that allows you to install and run supported versions of Linux (such as Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Debian, etc.) without the complexity of setting up a virtual machine or different computer. Although you won’t get a graphical interface, this approach enables developers and network administrators to use a long list of command tools and services (such as vim, tmux, andemacs, sshd, Apache, and MySQL), and run Bash shell scripts written in Python, Ruby, C#, F#, and many others using a command console. Install WSL with a…
*Credits to pimylifeup.com To get Android to run on a Raspberry Pi, we will be using a special build of LineageOS developed by konstakang. LineageOS is an open-source operating system that is built upon the Android platform. Both the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 builds of Android have support for hardware-based rendering. Having support for the hardware renderer allows Android to make full use of the GPU built into the Raspberry Pi. This helps maximize performance when running things like games on your device. The only feature missing from these builds of Android is support for hardware decoding and encoding of video.…
One of the great things about owning a Raspberry Pi is that you get to decide which operating system (OS) it should run. There’s countless operating systems that you can install on your Raspberry Pi device. Although Linux distributions such as Raspbian, Debian and Kali Linux are the most popular, there’s plenty of alternatives that you can try. In this article I’ll show you how to get a DIY, Chromebook experience by installing Google’s Chromium OS on your Raspberry Pi. What Is Google Chromium OS? Chromium OS is the open-source, development version of Google’s Chrome OS, which is most commonly found on Chromebooks. Unlike…
The Amazon Kindle is a great ebook reader, but it’s tightly tied to Amazon’s ecosystem. If you have a Fire tablet or a smartphone, you can download other e-reading apps to beef up your library, but with the E Ink Kindles, you’re pretty much tied to getting your content directly from Amazon. Well, sort of. Using a bit of free software, you can take ebooks in the EPUB, Mobi, and PDF formats and zap them over to your Kindle lickety-split. Here’s how to do it. What formats does a Kindle support? In addition to Amazon’s two proprietary file types, .MOBI and…
