Lotusphere 2012: Going Mobile

I had the honor of being included as part of the Blogger Program at Lotusphere 2011. Given IBM had paid for my conference ticket to attend the event and they were providing a nice comfortable seat at the front I felt compelled to live blog the OGS. My gadgetry...

Registering new users with PIRC enabled by default

In the process of enabling PIRC (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?ca=kb&rs=899&uid=swg21501675), it occurs to me that there doesn't seem to be a direct way of PIRC-enabling the new file upon mail database creation.  Sure it is easy enough to set the advanced property for all databases in a directory, etc, but that is only as good as the moment you do that.  The mailfile for the next user to be registered (and their clustered mail database(s) also created during registration) will not be PIRC enabled until someone or something enables it post-creation.

It should be just another tick box on the template (like enablement for DAOS, compression, etc.) but I don't see that option.

I tried PIRC enabling the template itself, but that only did just that- it enabled PIRC on the template but had no PIRC-related bearing on databases created based upon the template going forward.

So, the next best "automatic" plan I can think of is to schedule a program to run every so often.

compact mail -PIRC On

Does anyone else have any thoughts or information about if this template-level feature is already in the works (or if it's there and I'm just missing it)?

Is Windows Update dumb or is this just the way it works?

Even though I have install Office 2010 without Outlook 2010 it's weird that Microsoft Update wants to install updates for Outlook. I have checked and do not see the executable for Outlook so I have to wonder where Windows Update is getting the information on installed options. ...

quick tip: conditional event handlers

I was recently asked by a colleague whether a partial refresh event can be canceled during its execution - if, in other words, the code first checks whether the rest of the code is necessary or useful, and that check returns false, can the code then somehow ...
