You cannot copy or move a thicket file. To change the file name or create a copy of the file, open the file and save as to a new name.

We have a document library which consists of lots of documents. While attempting to rename one of the documents, we get the following error:
You cannot copy or move a thicket file. To change the file name or create a copy of the file, open the file and save as to a new name.

Cause:
This behavior occurs if both the following conditions exist:
•You modify the home page by using FrontPage 2003, and then save your changes.

•You try to rename the home page in FrontPage 2003.

When you save your changes to the Windows SharePoint Services home page after you modify it by using FrontPage 2003, FrontPage 2003 creates a down-level Vector Markup Language (VML) file for the quick launch toolbar. This down-level VML file creates thicket files that cause the home page and the thicket files to be dependent. Because FrontPage 2003 cannot perform a link fix up operation against thicket files, FrontPage 2003 prevents you from renaming the home page.

SharePoint doesn't support files that end with _file, and this "thicket" file is a matching ABC file and ABC_FILES folder set. Delete this misbehaving file and upload an .msg like a good SharePoint citizen - it'll open nicely in Outlook, and you'll actually be able to see / search / access any attachments within the email.

Workaround:
Use one of the following two methods to work around this problem:
•Rename the home page by using the Save As option on the File menu in FrontPage 2003.
Or
•In FrontPage 2003, enter the new name for the home page in the File name box, and then click Save.

How to check exchange database Whitespaces and Backup status in Exchange 2010?


Hello,
While performing messaging admin duty, many times have to perform the exchange database maintenance. Without knowing the knowing the whitespace you cannot perform database defrag.
In earlier Exchange version like Exchange server 2000, 2003 and 2007, we could examining the application log for event ID 1221 which includes the amount of white space that could have been defragged and save us space.
In exchange 2010, event id 1221 does not exist anymore, and in order for us to find the whitespace, Microsoft has provided an appropriate command shell:

Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | Select-Object Server,Name,AvailableNewMailboxSpace

The same goes for backup states, as we can run the following command to get the last full backup state:

Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | Sort -Property LastFullBackup |ft Identity,LastFullBackup

Thank you!

Office Communicator user cannot set presence to online or cannot shown as online.


Office Communicator user cannot set presence to online or cannot shown as online.

Resolution:-
 
Above issue is only seen on Windows 2000 Sp4 and Windows XP professional machines.

Here is the resolution-

1.  Internet Explorer is at the wrong version or older version.  You must have the most recent IE on the machine.  IE 5 or 5.5 will not work.

2.  Inetcomm.dll is not properly registered.

 Use command regsvr32 inetcomm.dll   to get registered, and then login on communicator and test.

3.  May issue with MSXML2.

Use command to deregister MSXML2.DLL and MSXML3.DLL, and then register MSXML3.DLL.

As per my experience,   first and second fixed the majority of the other failures.

Thank you!
