Apple has a long and checkered history of using its Apple Software Update program to push unrelated programs to Windows users. But I was floored today when I was offered an iPhone configuration utility as an important "update" on a system that has never had iPhone or even an iPod plugged into it.

Way back in May 2008, I noted an annoying, longstanding bug that surfaces when you install Adobe Reader on Windows Vista x64. The preview function, both in Windows Explorer and in Outlook 2007, is broken. The only fix I could find at the time was to replace the broken previewer with a third-party alternative such as FoxIt PDF Preview Handler.

Now, 16 months later, there’s a new 64-bit operating system, Windows 7, and a new version of Acrobat Reader (9.1). And the bug is still there.

That’s really a good way to support your customers, way to go Adobe !

As mention in Ed Boot’s post, here’s the direct link to a manual fix : www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix

Have you ever noticed that the find function in Active Directory Users and computers (ADUC) console cannot search within a group (or user) name ? You can only search fields that “Starts with” or “ends with” a string. What if I want ton find all groups that contain “web” in their name ?

Here’s how to do it :

  • Select Custom Search from the find dialog
  • Click on the Advanced tab
  • Paste (&(objectCategory=group)(name=*WEB*))
  • Hit then Find Now button

ADUCfind

Oh and don’t forget to replace the “WEB” string by the value you are looking for.

You could also do the same thing from the command line :

dsquery group -name *WEB*

Chris here again. For those Security Architects and PKI implementers, you may have known that since Windows Server 2008 we have an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder, and since Windows Vista we have an OCSP client that is integrated with the operating system. I wanted to cover the in and outs of the OCSP responder, and walk through the installation.
