August 4th, 2011 by Rob Goodair | Permalink

After moving some clients back to Exchange server from BPOS, autodiscovery in Outlook refused to find the correct autodiscover.xml file.

The registry fix below will reset autodiscovery in Outlook and make thinks work again!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover]
"PreferLocalXML"=dword:1
"ExcludeHttpRedirect"=dword:1
"ExcludeHttpsAutodiscoverDomain"=dword:1
"ExcludeHttpsRootDomain"=dword:1
"ExcludeScpLookup"=dword:0
"ExcludeSrvLookup"=dword:0

Installing the XenServer Linux Pack After XenServer Deployment

July 24th, 2011 by Rob Goodair | Permalink

  1. Download the Linux supplemental pack from citrix.com
  2. Upload the ISO to XenServer using WinSCP
  3. From the XenServer console (or Putty), go to the directory the ISO was uploaded in to
  4. Run the following commands:
    mkdir -p /mnt/iso
    mount -o loop XS-linuxcd.iso /mnt/iso
    cd /mnt/iso
  5. Now run ./install.sh
  6. The client will begin installing. There will be a momentary loss of connectivity to XenCenter whilst XAPI is restarted
