Problem: After a fresh install of a Dell Optiplex workstation, the performance of the mouse and keyboard significantly deteriorated. Right mouse clicking on anything would sometimes take seconds for the complete menu to appear. Also, when typing the characters would fall behind my actual typing. At first I thought it was a video card issue so tried new drivers and different cards without any success.
Solution: Was very close to reinstalling everything from scratch so I tried one more thing. Went into the BIOS and reset everything to factory defaults. That worked! This is a solution that might work for you. If that didn’t work for you, what did?

Couldn’t find an Exchange 2010 or later public folder server with a replica for the free/busy folder:

Problem: After migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 I would get the following error below:
Couldn’t find an Exchange 2010 or later public folder server with a replica for the free/busy folder:
Solution: Found a TechNet article that helped me get the public folder replicas onto the Exchange 2010 server and set them to be moved onto the 2010 server. I then checked the logs and I still got the error. Restarted all of the Exchange 2010 services and the error has disappeared. You could have also restarted the server but not as fast… Below is the link to the TechNet article on how to replicate and move the replicas:

Problem: When trying to start Microsoft Certificate Services on my Server 2003 box, I get the following error:
A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file. 0x800b0101 (-2146762495).
Solution. The Root CA for the server expired and needed to be renewed. Within the Certification Authority MMC, I right clicked on my Cert Auth and selected “All Tasks” and then “Renew CA Certificate.” Followed the steps and was able to start the Cert Services again..

Problem: After uploading a file within WordPress and trying to link the file, I would get an Internal 500 error when clicking on the link. If I got on the server, renamed the file and then renamed it back, the link would work. This was a Windows 2008 server using IIS7 and was starting to look like a rights issue.
Solution: Turned out to be a rights issue and it had nothing to do with WordPress or IIS for that matter. It had to do with rights regarding to the PHP upload function. Basically when a file is uploaded via WordPress, PHP copies the file to a temp location (c:\windows\temp is default) and the copies it the the appropriate WP folder. The problem was that the file was inheriting the rights from the windows\temp directory which were too strict for the website. I created a new directory (C:\uploadtemp), made sure that rights were what I needed them to be and then changed the PHP.ini to reflect this new temp upload directory. Problem solved…
