Office 365 and error 30125-28 (404)
The Office 365 instance installed on a student’s laptop showed signs of not being activated and in need of an update. Clicking on any of the small buttons below the ribbon made no difference. Running Office updates manually from “File → Account → Update” gave us an error message: 30125-28 (404). Running sfc /scannow with […]

A student experienced Revit 2018.1 giving him this rather useless error message: Licensing System Error 1 After Googling for a solution, we installed/repaired all the Visual C++ runtimes we could find in 3rdParty\x64\VCRedist and in 3rdParty\x86\VCRedist from the Revit 2018 distribution. Success! Shame on lazy developers not willing to code reasonable error messages explaning what […]

Yesterday, a student installed Autodesk Revit 2018 on his Windows 10 x64 laptop. He then upgraded to Revit 2018.1. After entering the licensing details, Revit crashed. Installing the latest drivers from nVidia, currently at version 385.41, and rebooting the laptop saved us from any more grief.

I’ve been exploring Pässler PRTG on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (Microsoft Imagine Premium) for the past couple of days. While the system is impressive and on the border of being overwhelming, it lacks complete IPv6 support. The web interface is IPv4 only, and the NetFlow v9 collector only understands IPv4. PRTG can do PING, SNMP, […]

Updates to Trend Micro OfficeScan last week resulted in four cases of BAD_POOL_HEADER and STOP 0x19. Reboot to safe mode, uninstall Trend Micro OfficeScan, reboot, and reinstall Trend Micro OfficeScan. One additional positive outcome was the firmware update we conducted simultaneously.

After installing Autodesk Revit 2017 on a student’s laptop, the software started whining about missing msvcr100.dll. This was solved by repairing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, both x86 and x64.

FreeBSD has mono
C♯ and mono are both a blessing and a curse. Most documentation, FreeBSD-specific or not, on the internet are more or less outdated. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places. It was really frustrating. Soon this will be outdated too. Start by adding lang/mono. Then add x11-toolkits/libgdiplus.

… Windows machines try to request two URLs (www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt and ipv6.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt, the former over IPv4, the latter over IPv6) to ascertain whether a given network is routed to the Internet and if there is a captive portal in the way (NCSI stands for “Network Connection Status Indicator”).

Et virus definerer jeg som et uønsket program som installerer seg uten mitt samtykke, sender data til en fjern server, har uønskede funksjoner, og er vanskelig å bli kvitt. Altså det samme som Windows 10. Ref.: http://www.digi.no/bedriftsteknologi/2016/03/17/er-du-blitt-tvangsoppgradert-til-windows-10#comment-2576121180.
