Optimizing Microsoft Office Access Applications Linked to SQL Server

Optimizing Microsoft Office Access Applications Linked to SQL Server

"One way to create applications that use Microsoft Office Access for creating user interfaces and that use Microsoft SQL Server for data storage is to link Office Access tables to SQL Server tables. This is the type of application created by using the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Office Access. This white paper presents techniques for improving performance and updatability in Office Access applications that use tables linked to SQL Server."

IMFcompanion

IMFcompanion
"Since Exchange 2003 brought Intelligent Message Filtering (IMF), administrators were looking for help to verify, extend, or adjust, IMF operation."

There are a couple of tools to manage Exchange's IMF. See this link: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/IMF-Managers.html

IMFCompanion is slower than IMF Filter Manager but is more feature rich. It supports find operations which I have found useful as well as better sorting. It also has a feature that will allow whitelisting - essentially this drops the blocked messages back into the queue for delivery but this seems to only work when the program is running - a substantial limitation.

Archive Folder: C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\UceArchiveThis is where my spam messages are stored by IMF.

Pickup Folder: C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\PickUpThis is where IMFCompanion moves the spam when it wants Exchange to pick up the message and deliver it.

Darik's Boot and Nuke (Hard Drive Disk Wipe)

Darik's Boot and Nuke (Hard Drive Disk Wipe): "Darik's Boot and Nuke"

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.

DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.
