Microsoft - Millions wasted?

Interesting articles about a 95000 users organization who did an internal study that shows that they could save up to 3 millions a year (For 20 years) if they would choose OpenOffice over Microsoft licences.

The article is in french but with a good translator, it could do the job.

Private meeting in resource database- Undocumented ini setting

The issue is that when a meeting is marked as PRIVATE the subject and other details are visible in the resource database

Link

There is an INI setting you can put on your R&R server so that the subject of all "Private" entries get replaced with:

[** Private entry. The description is not available for display. **]

This was done so that the Subject of the reservation stays private (eg: no peeking using InfoBox). Put the following line in your R&R servers NOTES.INI file and you should be good to go:

RNR_MAKE_TOPIC_PRIVATE=1

The setting is _not_ retroactive, it will not cause RnRMgr to go back and remove the Subjects from reservations that have already been processed. It only affects new reservations (or reschedules) from that point forward.

VmWare and Domino 8.5 and perfomance - Any concerns?

A client of mine is having major performance issues with Vmware 3.5 and Domino 8.5. The CPU is almost always at 100%. Nserver is consuming the major part and NRouter too.

Is there any known concerns related to VmWare 3.5 and Domino 8.5?
Is there any limitations (ex:Max number of users)?
Any special configuration to know about?

Other than that:

Working with personal agents - The final stretch

So, to get rid of all those personal agents,the strategy was:

• First - Scan all the agents and get the infos - Done. Thre was more than 4000 personal agents, yeah 4000!
  
• Copy all those personal agents to a central repository - Done
• Remove all the personal agents copied earlier Done, almost 95% of the personal agents are kept in a central db.
  
• Do another scan, just in case Done, only have about 80 personal agents running right now compare to 4000.
  
• Modify server's documents to prohibit those agents in the future , Will be done later, but the treat is less important right now

The PMR is still open.

Working with personal agents

In my series of posts about personal agents, I now have a PMR about this issue. What I was able to do so far. For personal agents, I can say if the agent is enabled and what is the trigger of that agent.

So, to get rid of all those personal agents, here's the strategy:

• First - Scan all the agents and get the infos - Done. I have more than 4000 personal agents, yeah 4000.
• Copy all those personal agents to a central repository - Almost done
• Remove all the personal agents copied earlier
• Do another scan, just in case
• Modify server's documents to prohibit those agents in the future
