So your Ext3 root partition is corrupted. No matter how you try to log into your system, your system asks you for root password. But you are a good, obedient ubuntu user. And you do not have a root password set. You can press CTRL+D, but that just reboots. Are you boned?

No. problem. press ctrl+alt+delete. You will get a messy screen about having trouble launching your X session, but you will get a login towards the bottom of the screen. So just use your normal user login and password. after that, I use
sudo su


i traveling and wanted to copy over my logs to find out what was happening on my server. didn’t want to install a client like filezilla or another GUI. Using the command line SCP utility, you can grab remote files securely over SSH. You can grab the executable from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html (pscp.exe is what you want) then, in the command line on the windows client machine, type something like this:

pscp -r -P 22 jimmy@johnscomputer.com:/home/jimmy/stuff "c:\documents and settings\jimmy\Desktop"

The “-r” makes it grab the whole folder, and everything under. the “-P” specifies a port (mostly useful if you aren’t using 22. make sure it is capital).

Exchange Server 2007 allows administrators to create objects such as Mailbox, Contacts, Mail User, and Distribution Groups. Here are the steps needed to create a room mailbox object:

1. Open the Exchange Management Console.
2. Expand Recipient Configuration.
3. Click on Mailbox.
4. In the Mailbox pane, click on New Mailbox…
5. For our purposes, we will pick “room mailbox” This is a mailbox to be assigned specifically to Meeting Rooms. Its associated user account will be disabled in Active Directory.
6. In the User Type window, we can choose either to create a new user or to assign an existent user to the new resource mailbox. If we choose to assign it to an existent user, we will have to check if the account does not already have a mailbox associated to it. Click Next to continue.
7. In the User Information window, we should fill out the user’s personal information and select the Organization Unit where it will be created. After that click on Next
8. On the Mailbox Settings page, we can define the mailbox information such as Alias, Mailbox Server, and Mailbox Store where the new resource mailbox will be located. The policies for Mailbox and ActiveSync can also be defined in this step. We can choose which fields we are going to fill out and then click Next to continue.
9. In the New Mailbox window, we will get a summary of all the information that we have selected in the previous steps. These parameters will be used by the cmdlet New-Mailbox for the creation of this resource mailbox object. To create the resource mailbox, click on New.
10. In the Completion window, we will see the cmdlet New-mailbox and the parameters that we used in the creation process of this new resource mailbox.
11. Grant yourself and users who will manage the mailbox “full access”. Right-click on the mailbox you just created and select manage full access permission.
12. Sign into OWA.
13. Click the dropdown next to your username on the upper-right corner of the screen and open up the room mailbox you just created.
14. go to Options, then Resource settings
15. go through these.
16. Add the room mailbox to outlook.
17. go to the calendar, right-click on the room’s calendar, go to properties.
18. Under the permissions tab, set the default permission to “reviewer”. This will let everyone see what is going on in the room when they are scheduling
