Adding New measures to an Existing Cube

Adding New measures to an Existing Cube

Hi All,

Currently we have an existing sales cube developed by a different team.We are unaware of the measures,dimensions and calculated measures in the existing cube.When we are trying to add new measures to the existing sales cube we are getting the following error : 

"Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The metadata for the statically linked measure group, with the name of 'SalesActual', cannot be verified against the source object."

The sales actual cube is added as a linked object in the existing sales cube.In order to update (add) new measure into the sales actual cube we have deleted the existing linked object in the sales cube and tried to save the cube.But unfortunately it is still throwing the error.We have tried this on another cube that we have at our end and we are able to successfully make changes to it.However we are not able to make changes to this particular cube.

We do not have idea reg the existing cube dimensions,measures and calculate measure details so we are not able to create it from scratch also.Only thing left for us is to make changes to the existing cube.

So can you please let us kow what needs to be done reg this. 

Regards,

vamsi.


need help with CFG to display recipient e-mail addresses (instead of contact names) in Outlook

At least one other person seems to be looking for the same thing...

  1. Write a .cfg file which creates a Recipient Email Address field in a message list in Outlook 2007.

unfortunately when I try to reply to see if he ever figured it out, the page gives an error.

I found (& this site suggested) some similar threads, but none of them really answer my question & are more for Exchange server which I'm not using (just connecting to a bunch of mailboxes with IMAP).

I have been able to do this for the "To" address, I installed the Neostorm CFG in Outlook 2010 & it works fine - it now gives the option of "From E-mail Address" in the Field Chooser. (I put the CFG below with my edits if anyone is interested.)

(Incidently, *WHY* does Microsoft not just include addresses in the fields list by default? Is it so hard to imagine that people might want to view actual e-mail addresses? This kind of thinking is something Apple might do! DOH!)

In any case I am now looking to display the *recipient* e-mail address(es). I would think that although this isn't as simple, being there can be multiple recipients as opposed to one sender, there should still be some way to get Outlook to display a comma-delimited list of recipients emails, ie

address1@domain1.com, address2@domain2.com, etc.  

(the order of the addresses is not important). I just want to see the physical addresses each message has been sent to.

If anyone has had any luck creating a CFG to get Outlook to display the recipient address, do tell.

The other option I'm looking at would be to write a VBA script to loop through each individual message and for each, build a custom string field by looping through the Outlook.MailItem's Recipients and appending each Address (yuck). But the CFG worked so well though for the "to" address, I would much prefer that!

Much appreciated

PS here is my anal-retentively commented CFG... maybe it will help someone

[Forum FAQ]Microsoft account sync settings in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Summary

Since Windows 8, Microsoft has introduced Microsoft Accounts. When you sign in to your PC or device with a Microsoft account, you can check email anytime, get Apps from the Windows Store,  and keep all your favorite stuff—devices, photos, friends, games, settings, music, and so on—up to date and in sync.

From the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview, many users have upgraded to this new OS. You may would like to keep the personalization settings, such as Desktop, Themes, Start screen, Tiles and so on. It is smart to achieve this with the help of Microsoft accounts.

Solution

This article describes how to implement synchronization settings with the help of Microsoft accounts by an example. Note: The previous OS has connected to a Microsoft account and has been configured related sync settings.

Example: In Windows 8.1, the layout of Start screen is shown as below, two extra icons have been pinned to the Start screen: Facebook which is needed to be installed manually and Control Panel which is a built-in item by design.

Note: Start menu is been used by default in Windows 10 Technical Preview, if you want to switch to Start screen, please right click Taskbar\Properties\Start Menu, which is as shown below, uncheck the option Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen, then sign out and sign back.

Steps

  1. Press Windows Logo +C, click Settings\Change PC Settings\OneDrive\Sync settings, and then turn on Sync your settings on this PC.
  2. Configure corresponding settings according to your demand. The settings of this example are shown as below:
  3. Connect the same Microsoft account in Windows 10 Technical Preview, configure the same sync settings, wait for several minutes, or restart Task Manager, sign out and sign back, restart. The setting configured in the previous system would be synchronized to the new OS, which is shown as below:

From the picture above, we can find that the layout of Start screen is almost the same with the one of previous OS, Facebook and Control Panel are also synchronized to the Start screen in Windows 10 Technical Preview. However, since Facebook is not a built-in app, you need to click the icon to install it before using it. Here we can see that the synchronized apps have not been installed.

In this example, Background and Lock screen have also been synchronized, and the Taskbar has also been placed to the left edge just like the configurations in the previous system which is shown as below:

Hi, in recent Windows 10 builds (I'm currently on 10159) the option to sync the Start Screen is not there anymore. It was an incredibly useful feature. Is it gone? Or does it still happen by default? At the moment I don't see it working, I have three installations using the same Microsoft account and the Start Screen layout and tiles are definitely not synchronized.

Can't take ownership of or delete some files created by application installer

Hi,

I have some files that were created by the Steam Client installer. The installer failed and left behind a directory called Steam in the "Program Files (x86)" directory. There are two files called Steam.exe and SteamTmp.exe that I cannot delete. It looks like the files don't have the owner attribute set or something because when I login as Administrator and go into explorer to look at their properties, in the Owner field I see the words "Unable to display current owner."

When I try to take ownership there it won't allow it.

I also tried the following from the cmd window:

C:\Program Files (x86)>takeown /F steam /R /A

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam" now owned by the administrators group.

INFO: Access is denied. ( "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\Steam.exe" )

INFO: Access is denied. ( "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\SteamTmp.exe" )

How can I remove these files?

TIA,
Nick.

There's a handy little program called Killbox.exe that will let you write in the path to those files and delete them. It's freeware and you can find it on Google. It's worked for me in the past.  Rob

Once you take ownership you have to then give yourself permission to delete the files. Right click on the folder (or file) and pick Properties. Click on the Security Tab. Click on Administators. Give the group Full Control.

It may be that these files are use. Open the Task Manager. Click on the Processes Tab. Click on Show Processes From All Users. Look for those filenames. If they are there you may be able to use End Process to stop them but this is not the recommended way. You should try to figure out where the processes are started from and stop them from starting. Msconfig may help. You could also try Autoruns. Once the processes are not running and you have the needed permissions you should be able to delete the files.

After you issue the takeown command, you then have to grant yourself the permissions to then delete the file.  I have run into similar instances in the past.  Just taking ownership is not enough if you already don't have permissions.

Notice that you can't do this in one go.

You must first take ownership and then exit all the way out.

You can then go into properties again and apply full rights.

I think you are all missing the point here. This is the same problem me and a few other people discussed in another topic. The access denied on the .exe files is actually when trying to take ownership. You can't take ownership, nor change permissions for them. Things I have tried but have not worked to access such .exe files are: different levels, including disable of UAC, activating the built-in administrator account (not even with this account could I take ownership) and disabling indexing and volume shadow copy services. After waiting a while it seems it does become possible to delete these files, but what changes is a mystery to me.

That indicates that some process has the file open and locked. You have to figure out what process this is, stop the process, then you can do whatever you want to the file.

Problem is, I had already tried killing all processes not belonging to win7 itself. Also I can't find a handle on the file when I try to with process explorer. And I don't understand why windows would be unable to even show who is the owner of the file just because it is locked.

EDIT: As a test I just tried to delete a file which I had open. When I try to do this windows actually says the file is open so it can't delete it. This is not what happens with the files affected by the problem this topic describes. It will just deny access to everyone for everything. Since it has only happened with exe files, I was thinking it was some protection mechanism that kicks in, but I can't find out what it would be.

Try this if you have not already.

Enable your administrator account by typing net user administrator /active:yes.  Ensure you know the password if you have one set.  Reboot the machine hitting <F8> as the machine is booting back up.  Enter Safe Mode Command Prompt.  Log in as the new enabled local administrator.  Navigate to the affected directory as see if you can delete the files in c:\program files (x86)\steam.

If you have to reset the ownership and permissions while in Safe Mode Command prompt, type explorer to start the shell.  In some cases, you have to take ownership and reset permissions one file at a time.  Then delete the files individually prior to deleting the host folder.  Make sure the files are not inheriting permissions from the parent folder.   Use the advanced permissions dialog box if necessary.

After you are sure that is done, kill explorer.exe via Task Manager and use the DEL command to erase each file.  If you are able to successfully remove them, then go up one directory and issue a RMDIR to rid the system of the offending directory.

Reboot.

I hope that helps

First of all, I am not the topic starter, who was having his steam files affected. In my case there are many exe files being affected, which usually becomes apparent when I try to repace them, either manually or through an application installer. It does not matter whether I run as my own user or as administrator. Also I have activated the built-in administrator already to check permissions, but even that account cannot see or change them, or take ownership. When I try to delete the offending file, explorer shows it as actually disappearing, but when I refresh it's back. Sometimes the file actually does get deleted, but only after waiting a really long time. While the suggestion of rebooting in safe mode to reset permissions might work, it's just not an option. I have programs that update daily, and games that get patches all the time. I don't want to have to reboot into safe mode everytime just to get these files accessible again. Not to mention the fact that they get inaccessible before the actual update/patch is applied which means it happens again each time I run the program and it never even gets patched.

Hi everyone,

I just started to peruse this site trying to answer the same questions that the topic starter, Xerion and possibly others are having with the inability to delete files (or more specifically, the inability to take ownership of the files).  I can see that people are attempting to help, but quite frankly (but understandably so), the direction their attempts to solve the problem are incorrect.

The files that we are attempting to delete are not in use nor are they running (in the case of executables).  In fact, Windows is unable to display who the current owner of the file is, let alone give you the ability to take ownership of it.  I apologize for piggy-backing onto this topic but I believe my error is 100% relevant.

Here is my situation: I have a C# (Windows Form) project.  It is set to do debug with the visual studio hosting process (vshost.exe).  After a few debugging attempts, and an attempt to rebuild the project, it begins to fail with an error stating that it is unable to copy the "vshost.exe" file.  I have compile a list of screenshots, with descriptions at the bottom, exhibiting this behavior, and placed them in a Word document.  I couldn't find a way to attach the word doc here, so I uploaded it to Google Docs and published it [1].

Here's a summary of what is going on (so that this post may be searchable):
- The vshost.exe cannot be deleted.  It is not running nor is it in use by any process
- After the attempt to delete it, it begins to show a property of "State: Private" when selecting the file and looking at the Details pane.
- When viewing the properties of the file, under the Security tab, Windows reports "Unable to display current owner".  Subsequently, taking ownership of the file results in an "Access denied" error, which I can only assume is due to Windows "not knowing" who the file belongs to and therefore cannot properly execute the attempt to take ownership or deletion.
- I also tried taking ownership of the file using the "takeown" command line, with the same results of an "Access denied" error.
- The only way to delete the file is to restart the computer.  To everyone that is starting in safe mode... that is not necessary, just restart it and you will have the ability to delete it afterwards.

- One final thing: If I change my .NET project to not use the visual studio hosting process, I am able to work on my project and debug it just fine.  HOWEVER, the problem is still there, over time.  For example, if I debug the application and keep it running/debugging for a longer period of time (i.e 30 minutes), then I close it and debug it again, the "ownership" problem is then there, again... but this time, (obviously) not with the vshost.exe but the executable itself.

Hi egads,

Thanks for the links.  I'm "glad", in a wierd way, that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue and probably a bit more optimistic that we'll all figure out what's causing this eventually, one way or another.

Based on some of the questions that floated around in the other topics, I also want to be clear that this is a clean install of windows 7.

Also, your last link "this thread" returns a 404.

Thanks and if I find out anymore, I'll also post here.


To Xerion404,
Did turning off Shadow Copy and/or Indexing have any effect?  I'm guessing not at this point, but can't hurt to ask since I didn't hear a yay or nay regarding that action, yet, from the other forums.

For anyone having this problem and have tried "things" that have not worked, please post what you did (i.e. turned off XYZ service).

I'll start:
- Turned Off: Superfetch (Result: Problem persisted)

EDIT 2009-03-30:
- Turned Off: Windows Defender
- Turned Off: Windows Search
- Turned Off: Disk Defragmenter
   (Results: Problem still persisted)

EDIT 2009-04-22:
- No progress, and error is just as annoying as ever.  It even happens on .cmd files.
- Turned Off: Application Information (service).  Result:  Completely hosed my system.  I 100% do not recommend turning this off.  If you did manage to turn it off, I've posted some steps on how to fix it here [1].  Ultimately, and obviously, the service remains on Automatic :)

Same problem here.

The weird thing is that I've been running Win7 with VS2008 for a few months now, and I never had the problem up to a week or so ago.
I disabled superfetch, uninstalled my virusscanner, disabled defender, but no luck.

Any resolution for the problem would be great. A workaround maybe? I know that when I reboot and be quick I can delete the files manually, but debugging is hedious this way.

------------------------------------

Now it gets even weirder!

I was surfing a bit searching for other solutions for this problem and returned to my explorer showing the semi-locked file. I clicked on it to see exacly what message shows up in the statusbar (State:private Shared with:Nobody).

I surf a bit on and return to my explorer window, and what do you guess: The file suddenly disappeared! Its gone! And I have not a single clue whatsoever why its gone. I pressed delete on it several minutes ago (maybe half an hour) but then it reappeared after hitting F5.

My intuition tells me there must be something in the filesystem kernel of Win7 that does this. When such a file gets deleted the kernel accepts the operation, but for some reason the process of actually deleting the file takes ages. It would explain the ownerless state the file lingers in, since the file has been marked for deletion, but still sits in some cache somewhere. Denied access on a file marked for deletion sounds plausible too. Some kind of an 'undead' file...

Does this make any sense? Or is it just wishful thinking?


------------------------------------
Reply:
@Joep Beusenberg
I would agree 99.9% of your assessment, that the "operation is accepted" but the actual completion of the operation doesn't happen until much later.  I myself have never experienced "deleting then waiting" (because frankly I have not waited that long, i always restarted, which "fixed" the issue).  However, all the accounts that I've read about this error indicates that the file does go away after some time... I'm guessing that if I waited as well, that the file would be deleted.

Here's another site that's also "lively enough" about this issue that I've been tracking myself:

According to that thread the bug has been solved in newer builds of Win7 (yay!). Can you (or someone else) confirm that this is true for 'our' specific problem?

I dont really feel like reinstalling a new build when it doesn't solve my problem and someone else already tried it.

------------------------------------
Reply:
Not me.  I'm running build 7000.  The new builds are suppose to be internal/private builds... so either the people reporting them are part of that internal testing of those new builds (which it doesn't sound like it) or they've gotten their builds from a source not directly from Microsoft.

I wish they would just put a simple fix out on WindowsUpdate for this though... but again, lack of communication.

Hey guys,

 I have the exact same issue with the deleted exe files reappering after a refresh F5, or not being able to be deleted at all. Same issue as well with Visual Studio when I launch my debug exe, and close it...I cannot overwrite it anymore...


 Was a solution found to this problem?

------------------------------------
Reply:

I don't know of any solution or feasible work-around to this on build 7000.  However, the RC is now out and some people who had build 7000+ claimed that it was fixed in their builds... so I am hopeful that this has been addressed in the RC.


------------------------------------
Reply:
Thanks for the quick reply Jayson.

I am running on 7000 as well.

Hopefully RC1 would have fixed this and that transitionning from Beta1->RC1 isn't a big hassle. ( I know MS recommends clean install of RC1 but I don't feel like re-installing the whole OS right now for a simple bug fix)

OK,

 So tonight it got worst...The only thing I did was update CCleaner version.

 Now I cannot delete *any* exe I execute once.

 But I discovered that by forcing a dismount on the volume (like for a scandisk) and remounting it...I can delete the exe...it is like some handle is opened somewhere or something...

Update:

  In fact this gets weirder and weirder...It is worst than I thought...not only you cannot delete the exe that you lanched onced, but you cannot delete any other executable with the same name or signature anywhere on the system!

  So if I had a file a.exe on c:\ and on f:\ and I just restarted...and I run c:\a.exe, anc close it..I will be not able to delete neither c:\a.exe Nor f:\a.exe!

  Something is fubar...

http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/system-security/10327d1241959090-unknown-account-appears-windows-7-2009-05-10_143717.jpg 

if the installer files are related to the SYSTEM group somehow (oddly enough) and the above does not work; try booting a live cd
and deleting the files.

1 free way:
download an ISO image of knoppix and boot it live.
open the file manager, mount the NTFS partition (by clicking on it), and delete your files.

Just turn ON the "Application Experience" Service, then the files could be deleted instantly.

Sorry to necropost, but ajfenix was right on the money. I've been battling with this issue for ages, mostly with Steam. This resolved the issue immediately, Steam was able to flawlessly update without booting to safe-mode (huge PITA).

Thanks again! +Rep

I know this thread is old but I just solved a problem exactly the same as this one. What I did was used a bootable Linux OS, Ubuntu 10.04 to be exact, and I mounted the drive the folder was on and then moved the folder to the trash and empty the trash and voila, gone. Linux can and will delete files from Windows that Windows is uncapable of deleting.

Two things will prevent a file from being deleted. If it is in use. If permission is not granted. You may not be able to take ownrship if the parent folder belongs to another group.

IIS Application is logging people out

I'm not sure what happened here.  This web application was running fine or years and now suddenly it is logging people off at random times.  Either it happens as soon as you log in, or it takes a couple minutes. It doesn't matter if you are actively using the site or idle, you don't get anywhere near the expected 20 minutes of idle before you get logged off.

I've done some looking and it appears that the application uses "InProc" cookies to keep track of user sessions, but no matter what I do, I cannot keep the sessions from expiring randomly.  The app supports IE 7-9 I believe, but the issue occurs in firefox as well. I have removed and reinstalled the application with no luck.  I have copied web.config from working envionments and stil the issue persists.

Has anyone, more familiar with cookies and sessions than me, seen this behavior before or have any suggestions to help locate the issue?

Thanks!

Windows 10 striping out drivers

I have installed windows 10 build 10130. I installed virtual box so we can conduct testing on windows 10 and we could also test product compatibility with the Virtual Box. This is being done due to a project that is being tested for our main product that we sell to the energy industry. 

When we install Windows 10 - everything is fine - then we load the virtual box - everything looks fine up to a point then the controller drivers become missing in the VM - The VM OS gets changed to a from a 64bit OS to a 32bit OS.

This is a fresh install.

PC is a Dell Optiplex 3020

16GB memory

1TB storage

I5 4590 3.30GB

Controller Driver that becomes missing is the PCI master bus controller.

What is causing this issue and why is Microsoft allowing Windows 10 to strip out drivers and not allowing programs to work??


Reply:

  They have changed the way network adapters work in Windows 10 and VirtualBox is not compatible with the new setup. I have had it running on several Windows 10 builds by using the options to not install host only or bridged networking when you install VirtualBox. The NAT setting works fine. 

  I find it hard to believe any of that could change an OS from 64 to 32 bit. That just isn't possible without a reinstall.

Need to set permission on a set of members. Setting Hierarchy member permission does not appear to work

Our business requires us to set permission by divisions. For example, division A can only update/change division A managed products and division B can only update/change division B managed products, etc. (Users of both divisions can read each other's products).

How could I accomplish this? I tried to set permissions on a derived hierarchy called Product By Division. But i did not get the desired result:

  • On the excel add-in, even though division A products are greyed out for division B users, division B users can still change any of the division A products and publish successfully.
  • On the web UI, division B users can't change division A products (good) but they can change their division attribute to A and save it. Also, add new member is diabled for all users.

I appreciate any insights on how to solve this.



Reply:

Did you ever discover the solve to this issue? I am seeing the same thing in my production environment, but I cannot replicate it in our QA environment.

Any information on how you solved this would be helpful!


------------------------------------
Reply:

The permission setup can be

1. Let assume Division A security group is GroupA and Division B security group is Group B

2. Create derived hierarchy called Product By Division.

3. In mode permission page, give Update permission to both GroupA and GroupB

4. In the hierarchy permission page, give ReadOnly permission on Division A to GroupB

5. Give ReadOnly permission on Division B to GroupA

The Lock screen is Finally Optional

I tried to disable the Lock screen using the GP Editor in the first Insider build last October.  Yet it appeared in every build -- until yesterday with 10159.  Now it is gone -- yeah!!  I know it takes only one click to pass it, but it is totally useless for me.

Script help

I have been asked to figure out how to make a script that will copy the users SID information from an account in one domain, to the ms-rtc-originatorsid location of a new account in another domain.  The two domains have a two-way trust.  I know very little about powershell at the time so this is not working out very well for me at the moment.  Any suggestions that could get me going in the correct direction?  Is this something that is fairly straight forward, or is it very complicated?

Thanks in advanced.

Outlook 2002 will not send emails but will receive

I have two identical laptops running Windows XP and using Office XP. One machine is being replaced because it has hardware issues. It will both send and receive email through Outlook. The new [replacement] machine is identical in all respects except that the hard drive is smaller and the Outlook program is on drive "D" not "C" as in the old machine.  For three weeks I have tried to send email but the new machine gets errors that the outgoing server cannot recognize the email address. The login for outgoing and incoming servers is set to be the same.  The machine will download email but not send it.  I have tried to completely delete Outlook and reinstall it about three times.  Somehow Outlook cannot be removed completely.  It always remembers parts of my information and it somewhere has stored erroneous login information that prevents it from communicating with my smtp server.  I use Comcast as my email provider and it is set up as a POP 3 account.  The email account settings for both machines are identical in every respect. The old machine sends and receives while the new one only sends.  I did use CC cleaner to clean the registry after removing Outlook. I was hoping to remove the hidden information. I am frustrated beyond description.  Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be.  It is like looking at identical twins [I have identical twin boys] both can hear and only one can talk while the other cannot.  In my life it is usually neither can hear and both talk too much.  I need help. Thank you in advance.

Reply:

Outlook 2002 isn't supported anymore.  You will probably need to get an updated version if you wish to use it moving forward.

That being said, have you deleted the email profiles from Outlook (Control Panel, Mail, Show Profiles), and if so, have you removed them fully from the registry as well (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles, specifically)?  If that doesn't work, then try removing Outlook from the system, removing the profiles from the Control Panel and the registry, then reinstalling Outlook (on the C: drive, so it truly is identical to the other system) and trying again.

Surface Pro 2 move to Windows 10 broken wifi

I decided to try Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 2. Did the online installation, and it all went smoothly. Windows 10 boots up and it shows no network connections.  Looked for the solution on the internet and it said to install the Microsoft driver package. Tried that and it did not work. Tried deleting and reinstalling the driver, also didn't work. Tried adding legacy hardware, also no luck there. All processes complete, but none of them give me the ability to find wifi networks.

Also the Bluetooth does not work.  As I understand it these are both driven by the same piece of hardware.

ADFS v3.0 basic authentication woes

Hi

I have some clients that need doesn't support form-based login, and I've been asked to allow them to authenticate against ADFS using basic authentication.

However its easy to find the URL basic auth for ADFS 2.0, but I've spend the last 2 hours trying for find a simlar basic auth URL for ADFS 3.0 - without any luck. 

Obviously I've already tried the ADFS 2.0 basic auth URL, http://sts.example.com/adfs/ls/auth/basic, but it just gives me a generic message, "There are no registered protocol handlers on path /adfs/ls/ to process the incoming request.".

So to sum up
1. Which URL do I use for basic authentication in ADFS 3.0, 
2. Will basic auth also work for external clients connecting through the ADFS Proxy?
3. Will basic auth also activate MFA? (I'm currently using Certificate Authentication MFA method)

Thank you in advance.

Increase in the Australia Azure pricing from 1st August 2015.

I was lucky enough to receive an email this morning regarding an increase in the Australia Azure pricing from 1st August 2015. 

Very disappointed that there will be a 26% increase....26% is a big number. 

Hosting Azure stuff in the Australia data centers is now uneconomical when compared to Singapore or the US, etc.   You also need to factor in GST.

Not sure if this has something to do with the recent government crack down on tax evasion with big companies channeling profits overseas.

Not good news for Australia as regards to Azure is concerned and I'm sure a lot of other people will be shocked with a 26% increase.

I agree, 26% is an incredible jump in such a short time-frame, combined with the costs of achieving Express Route services in Australia to Azure, suddenly Azure is not looking too hot vs what we can get from other providers.

"Effective August 1, 2015, local prices for Azure and Azure Marketplace in Australian dollars will increase by 26% percent to more closely align with prices in most markets."

What markets? The Australian market is already one if not the most expensive market? Sounds like a made up reason to me. As Ron points out, GST on top of that additional 26%. The numbers are not great.

Reply:

Geez....cant believe Microsoft would push an increase like this...must be mad. 

Agree, Australia is currently the most expensive.  I would rather move the virtuals to Singapore or US.

I'm sure other IT managers  will be crunching the numbers this morning given its a new financial year.

EA customers and older 6-12 months prepaid have a little more time before this increase catches up.

Bitterly disappointed by the cost increase. I can understand 3-5% but 26% is crazy. I assumed its the AUD $ being weaker in the global market as no doubt they will be funnelling that money offshore and now getting less return for it but ultimately AUD $1 = $1 so if it was staying on Australian shores then the price should remain the same.. it is more expensive than other markets at the moment as well.. 

------------------------------------
Reply:

Yeah 3-5% increase would be easier to swallow.

AUD/USD has taken a hammering since 2014 where it was around 0.90 now its 0.77.

However its the same story for the EUR/USD, do we expect the same increase in the Europe data centers? 

There is an argument that all data centers should be pegged against the USD otherwise companies in US would move some virtuals to Australia as they gained more compute power for the same cost.

On-premise/locally hosted providers in Australia would gain in this business model.  

However there is more to this increase than currency rates, 0.90 - 0.77 is only a 13% drop.

Hi,

In Europe it's a 13% increase "only".

Unfortunally, all "US" services increase their prices since two or three months in Europe.

and when i check the cached mood in Outlook the LDAP path appear again

Hello,

Since OWA is fine, it means the email items are good on the Exchange Mailbox. The issue occurs because Outlook client read the email properties by mistake. So we need to troubleshoot the issue from the client side.

I think it will be more effcient by re-posting the issue on our Outlook Itpro forum, including the progress we have made.

Outlook 2013 on Win10 10158

I just installed office 2013 pro on build 10158. Everything works except Outlook starts with incorrect exchange setting. However it won;t give me the opportunity to edit the exchange settings. On previous windows versions I would delete the profile in the control panel but I don;t see that option anymore. Any suggestions on what to do next?

The dialogue box says

Microsoft Exchange

General

Microsoft Exchange Server

(erroneous data)

Mail Box:

(erroneous data) Check Name

you must provide the name of your Microsoft Exchange...


Reply:

It's weird that you don't see it in Control Panel (small icon view, or search for "mail" with the default view), since I'm looking at it right now in this build. I have heard long ago of it going missing under some circumstance, but I don't recall the details now.

Can't you just delete the account within Outlook (Account Settings) and recreate it?

Quick question, since you said everything else was working. Are your Outlook desktop alerts for new mail working?

The option still exist in the old Control Panel for build 10158

Which profile you deleted under Control Panel?

There are issues connecting Exchange Mail Account using the Mail app, but I don't know about the Outlook.

If available, could you please provide the the error screenshot for a further troubleshooting?
