A problem exist where when receiving a call on the iphone while driving the audio might switch to the handset instead of the car audio system. This is resolved by changing the audio settings under Settings>General>Accessibility. There should be a default audio output there.

“Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid”

Fix that worked for us:

1. Run outlook with “outlook.exe /resetnavpane”

Then clear the autocomplete cache
Outlook 2010 -> “Outlook.exe /CleanAutoCompleteCache”
Outlook 2007 – Delete the outlook.nk2 file

Excel – The file is currently in use. Try again later.

Random occurrence when saving to a network location or drive. Try the following (tested on Windows 7):

-Disable anti virus document scanning on server
-On client disable explorer Preview Pane (Organize -> untick Preview Pane)
-On client disable indexing of save location (Win7)

Windows Server 2008 R2 File Restore Limit

admin — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:59:16 +0000

It seems when restoring files from a Windows 2008 R2 backup you are limited to 1000 files restore in one go. MS suggests you restore a parent directory or fewer files. Selecting a parent did not work. Simple solution is to break up your restores in less than 1000 file batches. Went through fine after that.

Not sure why the limit is in place though.
