Peter has been working on updating the WinUAE Help File – feel free to download the result of his work at our WinUAE section or check the online version.
Our first release to be built with the newly released Visual Studio 2010, this version fixes an annoying bug: searching several times and using the clear button to empty the resulting list caused the same files to be found multiple times. On a more technical side, WiX is now used as installer toolkit, replacing VDProject. In addition, some cosmetic changes have been made. The file is available in the Misc section.

Another Exchange specific issue: we had a problem after migrating to Exchange 2010 and then uninstalling Exchange 2003, eventhough replicas of public folders were moved to the new server. Errors would show in the Exchange System Manager, and the following message would occur:
MapiExceptionADPropertyError: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=2418)
There is a excellent post on TechNet Forums about this topic. However, it does not include information for Exchange 2010, and mentions to restart the Information Store, when restarting the System Attendant is sufficient. Corrected instructions below.
Open ADSI Edit, connect to a Domain Controller, change the context to Configuration.
Create the Folder Hierarchies under the Exchange Administrative Group
Create the Public Folders Tree Object
Populate the msExchOwningPFTreeBL attribute object of the PF Store
Try to mount the Store

If you work in the IT industry, take a moment to think about all the hours you have spent following best practices, and what is commonly called hardening of a server system. One of the most common practices is to only run the bare minimum of services and thus reduce open ports facing the network.
Microsoft seems to have a slightly different take on this: in the official Exchange 2010 Prerequisities, admins are instructed to – amongst others – install a Windows Server Role named Web-Server. What they do not mention, though, is that this component also installs the FTP server and IIS Core components. Both of which are not needed for Exchange. If you happen to want only the minimum required installation, be sure to swap Web-Server with Web-WebServer, which omits the slack.
Thanks to the hard work of Peter Hutchison, we can present you with a little Christmas gift this year: the official WinUAE Help file in version 2.1.7! Find the ZIP file in the WinUAE download section, but the online version is up to date as well in case you prefer to view the help in your browser.
Today, the updated CHDK code for IXUS 970 has been uploaded to the project’s official source code repository. This new version fixes a problem with the detection of the play mode, and most prominently adds support for firmware revision F, so now all dumped revisions are covered. The firmware addon can be downloaded at the CHDK autobuild server.
Another piece of contract work completed: this one involved solar power panels and inverters from Austrian manufacturer Fronius. Developed a generic, object oriented data fetching backend and set it up to transmit the data to a database over a HTTP tunnel. One visible outcome of the project can be found here: VS Seeham.
Enjoyed working with the guys responsible for the project and the web frontend development, here’s hoping we will have some future projects together.
Yet another fine update by Peter, you can now grab the latest file from the Downloads section.
Work on the Canon camera is finished by now, with all features seemingly working. As an added bonus, due to a recent update, exposure times can now exceed 64 seconds. If you own a Ixus 970 and want to enhance your camera functionality, pay a visit to the CHDK Downloads page and give it a try.
