Onyx for Mac

If you need to tinker with your Mac, clear logs or caches etc. Rather than sudo'ing in Terminal, give Onyx a try, seems pretty good for a free application.

Exchange 2010 public folders

If you are trying to replicate content from 2007 to 2010, prepare for some pain. It just doesn't seem to work very consistently.
From Exchange Management Shell on 2007, go to the Exchange/Scripts folder and run:


.\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 –server my2007server –TopPublicFolder “\” –ServertoAdd 
my2010server


This should add all the folder structure to the new 2010 PF database.
Once this is done, run the following to kick the process:



Get-publicfolder –identity “\” –recurse |update-publicfolder –server my2007server

You can check on the progress by running the Exchange Management Shell on 2010 and running:

Get-publicfolderstatistics

You might have to keep kicking it though as sometimes it just stops working.

Thunderbolt and others

Take a trip over to Tested - http://www.tested.com/ - to check out all the stuff they pull apart! Also got a feature on new Intel Thunderbolt tech, which looks good.

New MacBook Pros

Well, I'm now sold on Macs. Got myself an iMac and I actually get work done now, instead of booting up and fixing a Windows problem every time. Still use Win 7 though as its not too bad, but OSX seems to always do the job.

There is also a nice crossover with Linux, so it satisfies the geek in me...
