How to delete an Organizational Unit (OU) in Windows Server 2008 Active Directory?

Windows Server 2008 active directory has accidental deletion protections feature that would not allow you as an Administrator to delete Active Directory Object by right clicking and deleting. If you leave the “Protect object from accidental deletion” check box checked when you create the object, you will have to disable that feature before you can delete the object.

To disable accidental deletion protection feature, follow this step:

1. Open up Active Directory Users and Computers through the Server Manger or Administrative Tools.

2. In the Active Directory Users & Computers console. Click on View from the menu bar and then click on Advanced Features.

3. Right click the object to delete and click on Properties.

4. In the object properties console, click on the Object tab.

5. Uncheck the “Protect object from accidental deletion” and click ok.

6. You can now delete the object by right clicking and clicking on delete.

Setting up multiple IP addresses on a single NIC in Linux Os

In linux, you can bind multiple IP addresses on a single NIC. This is usually done in case you are using your linux machine as a web server and is hosting multiple domains and you want to bind each domain to a unique IP address. This is how it is done.

Let us assume that you already have a NIC which is bound with a static IP address. Then you will have a file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 .My ifcfg-eth0 file has the following entries:

# File: ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
HWADDR=00:80:48:34:C2:84

Now to bind another IP address to the same NIC, I create a copy of the above file ifcfg-eth0 and name it as ifcfg-eth0:1

# cd /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts
# cp ifcfg-eth0  ifcfg-eth0:1

Now just change the values of the DEVICE and IPADDR in the file as follows:

# File: ifcfg-eth0:1
DEVICE=eth0:1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
HWADDR=00:80:48:34:C2:84

And lastly, restart the networking service. If you are using RedHat, then it is as simple as :

# service network restart

Under File Type, select Outlook Data File(.pst) and hit Next.

Now make sure Include subfolder is checked, this makes sure that all data including, Emails, Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, etc are exported. To export only a single folder, choose that folder and hit Next.

Now give the backup file a name and choose the destination where you want it to be saved and hit Finish.

Lastly, enter the Password to secure the backup file.

Once done, it will again ask you to enter the password. Enter the same password again and it will begin exporting your data.

During this process your Outlook might become unresponsive for a few seconds. When it becomes responsive again it means that the export is complete. You can then verify the export file by visiting the destination where you saved it. For more, also check out our guides on:
