3CX Drops support for Polycom and Grandstream
It looks like as of Version 12, Service Pack 3, that 3CX has dropped support for Polycom and Grandstream phones.
The phones no longer show up in the Phones area as Provisioned making it impossible to reboot or provision them from the console.
A discussion about this can be found on the 3CX forum here:
http://www.3cx.com/forums/polycom-phones-show-as-unprovisioned-38477.html
This article http://www.3cx.com/support/polycom-phon ... hallenges/ contains reasons why 3CX doesnt want to support Polycom phones anymore.
Time to find a new PBX or is this just a bug?
Tell me what you think in the comments.
Our 3CX Background:
Skills Inc has 250 Polycom SoundPoint phones connection to a 3CX PBX.
The phones all connect to one Hyper-V Virtual server over a Fiber Optic WAN from 3 locations. We have a Comcast PRI that connects to a Patton Gateway for our main trunk. We use Grandstream FXO GXW4104 gateways to connect analog lines to the 3CX at each location for 911 calls.

What to do for iPhone 5 and 4S random drop of network and data signal connection
iPhone loosing network and data connection: Many of iPhone 5 and 4S users are suffering from random loss of call network and data service. An iphone suffering from the issue in context will suddenly find feature e.g. call, SMS, and 3G Internet facility non-functional, even though shown signal quality/strength may be good.
The issue may be with SIM cards; some people have reported success after disabling a SIM PIN, or else changing cards. Few user has eliminated the glitch by doing a full restore of their device.
Apple is though aware of errors, and working with carriers provider on the error. The firmware was, for instance, supposed to fix other issue like recurring battery life problems, but these have continued for some users even as other people have had them solved.

- According to few user, the root cause for the reception issue may lie with the way the SIM Card is aligned on the SIM tray.
- One way to overcome this is to disable the SIM PIN. Go to Settings > Phone Menu > Turn SIM PIN off.
- Try Toggling Airplane mode. Or Turn your phone off, then wait five minutes, then turn your phone back on again, then wait five more minutes and try using it as normal.
Hope these steps might have helped you.
How To Give Password To Folder and protect your folder
How to Give Password to Folder and protect your folders can be done easily, either using software or not. A folder containing documents in word or pdf files of important data in the form it needs to be secured from the hands of ignorant office friends, classmates, or even your own family members. Surely not want dong suppose weve created office tasks or coursework then suddenly the data is copied by your friend? Maybe your friends grounded just borrow your laptop and it will not open up important files, but who knows if it is misused? This would be very annoying. Therefore we need to secure our data in order not to arbitrarily open by someone else by limiting access to the folder that contains important data. Then how do I give the password folder on your computer? There are two ways this can be achieved, namely:
Give the folder password without software
This step can be taken if you want to give the password without the help of software, so that you only utilize the existing facilities on the computer. This can be done for computers that operate on the Windows operating system yes. Here are the steps.
1. Open notepad, for the uninitiated notepad located in the Start -> All Programs -> accesorries -> notepad
2. Copy the code below and paste it into notepad
cls
ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
: CONFIRMED
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder (Y / N)
set / p "cho =>"
if% cho% == Y goto LOCK
if% cho% == y goto LOCK
if% cho% == n goto END
if% cho% == n goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
: LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib + h + s "Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
: UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock the folder
set / p "pass =>"
if NOT% pass% == TYPEPASSWORD goto FAIL
attrib -s -h "Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
: FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
: MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
: End
3. In the code TYPEPASSWORD replace the text with the password that you wish
4. Keep a notepad by clicking File and then Save As, and save it with the name lock.bat save as type to All Files.
5. Open the file that we just open, wait a minute it will appear a new folder named Locker.
6. Move the files you want to secure into the Locker folder
7. Double-click again on the file lock.bat it will display a dialog if you want to lock the folder, type Y and then Enter
8. Folder Locker will be lost, but do not worry because this folder is hidden only by the system
9. To bring it back, double-click on lock.bat then be asked for a password to open it, type in your password and press Enter
10. Folder Locker has resurfaced and you can already see the file again.

Since Internet Explorer since worked on the computer, i went to https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/ and installed the latest version of the firefox browser. After this, firefox worked fine again.

Norton Antivirus blocking RDP and VPN
Someone just came to me with their new Vista notebook from Compaq and it wouldnt let them connect to VPN on Small Businesses server (ISA Server) or use remote desktop.
Turns out it was Norton Antivirus that was doing the blocking.
It was just a trial, so I un-installed it and everything worked again!

ISS and OWA Damaged on Exchange 2007 Server
I had a really nasty crash on my Exchange 2007 server the other day.
Here is the Technet "Disaster Recovery Procedures" to help you fix a crash:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998890(EXCHG.80).aspx
I was able to use the recovery tools to fix the databases, but OWA and IIS were toast.
You can recover your database with Eseutil /R (Recovery Mode).
See help here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123479(EXCHG.80).aspx
One of my first issues was to repair WMI. That worked fine, but then IIS was still damaged.
Here is a batch script that i found that fixes that:
Then I had to fix the transport database. See help here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb217853(EXCHG.80).aspx
The next step was to remove and re-install IIS and then reinstall the CAS role and use the Exchange shell to re-install OWA and ActiveSync.
Technet help on that here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320202
None of this worked, and my OWA and ActiveSync are still down.
Im using the Test-OwaConnectivity cmdlet to test the OWA that I have now:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997682(EXCHG.80).aspx
It tells me this:
The test was unable to establish a connection to Outlook Web Access.
Not very helpful.
OAB (Address book) seems to work, so I dont think its IIS.
I did find two technet MVPs that say that if you screw up IIS on Exchange 2007 that you may as well just format the box and start over. Great....
Ill post more as I go along.
