How to recall email from outlook

How to recall email from outlook?

GO to the Sent Items folder in Outlook and open the message you want to recall.
Tools menu–>Click on Recall This Message
If your message hasn't already been opened by the recipient, either delete the message or replace it with a new message.
if there are multiple recipients, you can request notification of whether the recall succeeded or failed for each one (at least you’ll know whom to apologize to). Even if you successfully recall a message, the recipient may still know that you sent a message and then recalled it. So if you didn't replace it with a corrected message, you’ll need to get your story straight as to why you recalled it.

What is RSS?


Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a widely used technology for transmitting information across the Internet and intranets. Many Web sites offer RSS Feeds you can subscribe to so you can get the latest information from the source automatically.
You can also subscribe to RSS Feeds from libraries, lists, and other elements, so you can see when someone adds a document or changes a list item, for example.
You can use an RSS Viewer Web Part to display an RSS Feed on a site. RSS Feeds and the RSS Viewer Web Part provide you with a convenient way to view information from many sources on a single page. For example, by adding RSS Viewer Web Parts to a page, you can view RSS Feeds from external sites that provide information such as news and weather reports. You can also keep track of changes in libraries, calendars, and lists on other sites.

You have to do 2 steps of actions.
1. Obtain the URL for the RSS Feed
2. Add and configure the RSS Viewer Web Part
Step 1: Obtain the URL for the RSS Feed
1. Go to the Web site, page, list, or library for which you want to add an RSS Feed.
2. Do one of the following:
• If there is a ribbon on the site, click the Page, Library, or List tab (depending on what part of the site you are on), and then click RSS Feed to view the RSS Feed.
• On the page or on the Internet Explorer toolbar, click the RSS logo. The RSS Feed appears in the browser.
3. Right-click the Subscribe to this feed link, and then click Properties.
4. Copy the Address (URL). Be sure to copy the entire address.
Step 2: Add and configure the RSS Viewer Web Part
1. Go to the Web Part page or site to which you want to add an RSS Viewer Web Part.
2. Click Edit on the ribbon to edit the page.
3. Click the Insert tab on the ribbon, and then click the Web Partbutton.
4. Under Categories, select Content Rollup, and then find the RSS Viewer. Select the RSS Viewer Web Part, and then click Add. By default, this adds the RSS Viewer Web Part to the top Web Part Zone. You can change its position later.
5. In the RSS Viewer Web Part, click the Open the tool pane link.
6. In the RSS Viewer tool pane, paste the URL for the RSS Feed into the RSS Feed URL box.
7. In the Feed Limit box, specify the number of items you want the viewer to display at one time.
8. Modify other Web Part properties if necessary.
9. When you are finished, click OK. The RSS Feed is displayed in the Web Part.

How to Create and Use a TrueCrypt Container

TrueCrypt is a freeware software application used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition or (under Microsoft Windows except Windows 2000) the entire storage device (pre-boot authentication).
Step 1:
If you have not done so, download and install TrueCrypt. Then launch TrueCrypt by double-clicking the file TrueCrypt.exe or by clicking the TrueCrypt shortcut in your Windows Start menu.

Step 2:
TrueCrypt GUI
The main TrueCrypt window should appear. Click Create Volume (marked with a red rectangle for clarity).

Step 3:
TrueCrypt GUI
The TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard window should appear.
In this step you need to choose where you wish the TrueCrypt volume to be created. A TrueCrypt volume can reside in a file, which is also called container, in a partition or drive. In this tutorial, we will choose the first option and create a TrueCrypt volume within a file.
As the option is selected by default, you can just click Next.

Note: In the following steps, the screenshots will show only the right-hand part of the Wizard window.

Step 4:
TrueCrypt GUI
In this step you need to choose whether to create a standard or hidden TrueCrypt volume. In this tutorial, we will choose the former option and create a standard TrueCrypt volume.
As the option is selected by default, you can just click Next.

Step 5:
TrueCrypt GUI
In this step you have to specify where you wish the TrueCrypt volume (file container) to be created. Note that a TrueCrypt container is just like any normal file. It can be, for example, moved or deleted as any normal file. It also needs a filename, which you will choose in the next step.
Click Select File.
The standard Windows file selector should appear (while the window of the TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard remains open in the background).

Step 6:
File selector
In this tutorial, we will create our TrueCrypt volume in the folder D:\My Documents\ and the filename of the volume (container) will be My Volume (as can be seen in the screenshot above). You may, of course, choose any other filename and location you like (for example, on a USB memory stick). Note that the file My Volume does not exist yet – TrueCrypt will create it.
IMPORTANT: Note that TrueCrypt will not encrypt any existing files (when creating a TrueCrypt file container). If you select an existing file in this step, it will be overwritten and replaced by the newly created volume (so the overwritten file will be lost, not encrypted). You will be able to encrypt existing files (later on) by moving them to the TrueCrypt volume that we are creating now.*

Select the desired path (where you wish the container to be created) in the file selector.
Type the desired container filename in the File name box.
Click Save.
The file selector window should disappear.

In the following steps, we will return to the TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard.


WhatsApp Messenger for Smart Phones

WhatsApp uses a customized version of the open standard Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)

How it works

WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.

In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages.

                                             
                          
Upon installation, it creates a user account using one's phone number as username (Jabber ID: [phone number]@s.whatsapp.net). While the Android version uses an MD5-hashed, reversed-version of the phone's IMEI as password, the IOS version doubles the phone's MAC address and MD5-hashes it.

Multimedia messages are sent by uploading the image, audio or video to be sent to a HTTP server and then sending a link to the content along with its Base64 encoded thumbnail (if applicable)

WhatsApp synchronizes with the phone's address book, so users do not need to add contacts in a separate book. Since all users are registered with their phone number, the software returns all WhatsApp users among one's contacts.

How to store your passwords more secure

Use MS Word's document-protection features to apply a password to your encrypted password file, or hide your passwords.

In Word 2010, open the file and click File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password.

Microsoft Word 2010 Protect Document options
Apply a password to a document in Word 2010 by choosing the Encrypt with Password option under Protect Document.
Type the password and press Enter, then confirm the password and press Enter again. To limit the type of changes others can make to the document, choose the Restrict Editing option under Protect Document to open the Restrict Formatting and Editing window. You can require Track Changes or limit changes to comments. Other options let you restrict editing to specific people or groups, limit formatting styles, and make the document read-only.

Easy Way to toggle Internet on your Windows PC with a click!


You can “forcefully” disable / enable Internet by executing a .bat file with administrator access on your machine.

To give this a try, download Toggle-Internet.bat on your desktop, right click, choose “Run as Administrator” and you’ll be instantly disconnected from the Internet. Later, when you need to reconnect, just right-click the same file and run as an admin as before.


Internally, the script merely toggles the status of your Network Adapter (also known as the LAN adapter or Ethernet card) thus shutting down the Internet for you. If you were to disable or enable the Network Adapter manually, the steps would be Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> View Network Status -> Change Adapter Settings.

Seamless HTTP monitoring for IE and Firefox by HttpWatch

What is HttpWatch?
HttpWatch is a widely used web development tool that shows you HTTP and HTTPS traffic from within   IE; allowing you to quickly debug, fix and optimize your website. It displays headers, cookies, status   codes, compression, content and more as you browse a web site. You can use it to:
  • Investigate caching and compression
  • Quickly locate problems with redirection, cookies or POST data
  • Collect log files from your customers or send them to your suppliers
  • Export data to XML or CSV
  • How can HttpWatch Help?

    HttpWatch integrates with Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers to show you exactly what HTTP traffic is triggered when you access a web page. If you access a site that uses secure HTTPS connections, HttpWatch automatically displays the decrypted form of the network traffic.

    Conventional network monitoring tools just display low level data captured from the network. In contrast, HttpWatch has been optimized for displaying HTTP traffic and allows you to quickly see the values of headers, cookies, query strings and more.


    HttpWatch also supports non-interactive examination of HTTP data. When log files are saved, a complete record of the HTTP traffic is saved in a compact file. You can even examine log files that your customers and suppliers have recorded using the free Basic Edition.

    Why HttpWatch?

    Seven reasons to use HttpWatch rather than other HTTP monitoring tools:
    • Easy to Use - start logging after just a couple of mouse clicks in Internet Explorer or Firefox. No 
    • other proxies, debuggers or network sniffers have to be configured
    • Productive - quickly see cookies, headers, POST data and query strings without having to manually
    • decode raw HTTP packets
    • Robust - reliably log thousands of HTTP transactions for hours or days while tracking down 
    • intermittent problems
    • Accurate - HttpWatch has minimal impact on the normal interaction of the browser with a web site. 
    • No extra network hops are added, allowing you to measure real world HTTP performance
    • Flexible - HttpWatch only requires client-side installation and will work with any server side 
    • technology that renders HTML pages in Internet Explorer or Firefox. No special server-side 
    • permissions or configurations are required - ideal for use against production servers on the Internet 
    • or Intranet
    • Comprehensive - works with HTTP compression, redirection, SSL encryption & NTLM 
    • authentication. complete automation interface provides access to recorded data and allows 
    • HttpWatch to be controlled from most popular programming languages.
    • Professional Support - updates and bug fixes are provided free of charge on our website and 
    • technical support is available by email, phone or fax.

Server Location [Dynamics CRM, SQL and AD]

Microsoft Dynamics CRM data stores all customer relationship management (CRM) in a database SQL Server. It is important that the computer running SQL Server is located close to the Microsoft CRM server. This means that there must be a high-speed network standing between the team of Microsoft CRM server and the computer running SQL Server to have an efficient performance of Microsoft CRM. An error in the network communications between computers running Microsoft CRM Server and SQL Server can cause data loss and service can no longer be available.
The same applies to Active Directory. Microsoft CRM depends on Active Directory for security information. If you lose communication with Active Directory, Microsoft CRM will not work correctly. If communications with Active Directory are not effective, will be affected the performance of Microsoft CRM. It is therefore important to locate a domain controller for Active Directory on the same network connection speed permanent than computers that run Microsoft CRM and Microsoft SQL Server.

2011 Dynamics CRM installation

Once treated the prerequisites mentioned in the previous section, proceed to install the product, which is described in detail in this section.
We begin with a section devoted to the installation of SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 if the case is not yet installed.

Installing SQL Server 2008/2008 R2

  1. If you have not already installed, first install SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2 64 bits.
  2. Ensure that the required ports are allowed at the firewall.
    ProtocolPortDescriptionExplanation
    TCP135MSRPCRPC endpoint resolution.
    TCP139NETBIOS-SSNNETBIOS session service.
    TCP445Microsoft-DSActive Directory Active Directory required for access and authentication.

    UDP1025BlackjackDCOM, used as an RPC listener.
  3. When installing SQL Server, choose at least the following (assuming that the Reporting Services will run on the same server as SQL)
  4. Establish the service accounts for the various SQL services. We recommend using a domain account or otherwise, NETWORK SERVICE. Leveraged to configure automatic startup of services and it will be necessary for both SQL Server, SQL Server Agent as the Full Text Indexing are raised at the time of installation of Dynamics CRM.
  5. Select the authentication mode. With Windows Authentication Mode is sufficient for the purposes of Dynamics CRM as it is used.
  6. Reporting Services installation must be in native mode (native mode) . This is the only way in which CRM can work.
  7. Continue the wizard steps to begin the installation and wait for it to complete successfully:
  8. Corroborated by opening the SQL Server Management Studio that everything is OK, they are the basis for Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent up:

Installing pre-requisites in Dynamics CRM server 2011

  1. If IIS (Internet Information Services) is not installed on Windows Server 2008 server, add the role Web (IIS) as shown below: (if you do not see this option when you start your server, you can add new roles by clicking on Start-> Administrative Tools-> Server Manager )
  2. Among the components of IIS, select 'ASP.net'. It is likely that a new dialog appears asking for confirmation to add other roles required for this.
  3. Also select 'Management Service' and 'IIS 6 Management Compatibility' under 'Management Tools' and 'Windows Authentication' under 'Security'
  4. "IIS 6 Management Compatibility ' is required to register and raise the service 'IIS Admin' required by the installation of Dynamics CRM.

    Proceed with the installation until the end of it successfully ..

  5. If Indexing Service is not registered as a service, we install it and raise it as follows: Start-> Administrative Tools-> Server Manager
  6. Select the role 'File Services'
  7. In the next step, choose the service 'Indexing Service' under 'Windows Server 2003 File Services "
  8. Continue the wizard to successfully complete the installation:

  9. If previous installations were correct (these components are already installed), should have the following installed services and raised:
    • IIS Admin Service
    • Indexing Service
    • World Wide Web Publishing 

      These 3 services are required to be installed and erected at the time of installation.

2011 Dynamics CRM installation

  1. After satisfying the requirements, go to the directory or the installation media Dynamics CRM 2011 at the route:
    \ Server \ amd64 \ SetupServer.exe
  2. By the way, the implementation is recommended to do it with 'Run as Administrator'
  3. In the first step, the setup will ask if we are to seek and obtain pre-install updates, which is recommended.
  4. To be very recent release of version 2011, updates are not yet there but probably later.
  5. The next step is to enter the product key . You can use the Trial version key and then within 90 days of change for the corresponding key. The key trials are:
    • Microsoft Dynamics CRM Workgroup Server 2011 (5 CAL limit):
      H84KC-JH8DF-7PDYK-TXBXR-2RMMT
    • Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 (no CAL limit):
      MQM2H-JYYRB-RRD6J-8WBBC-CVBD3 
  6. Accept the license terms:
  7. Automatic installation of components required . These components come with the installation media Dynamics CRM setup 2011 and automatically checks if they are already installed and failing, to install from here, pressing the 'Install'.

  8. Once successfully installed all components, press 'Next' to continue with the next step.
  9. Indicate the folder where the files will stay the application.
  10. Indicate the roles of Dynamics CRM 2011 to be installed. By default, the setup suggests a Full installation is that we are addressing here, and generally being a typical case (except where there really is a load of users and transactions to justify distribute work on different servers).


    Then leave all roles selected as suggested by the setup.
  11. Provide the SQL Server server containing the databases to the system. This is the name of SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 we installed earlier for this purpose or an existing one. Recall that the server must belong to the same domain as the server you are installing Dynamics CRM. For a new installation of Dynamics CRM, we selected the option 'Create a new deployment . "
  12. Identify Active Directory Organization Unit that will contain the groups required for Dynamics CRM system 2011. You can specify the root directory if you want.
  13. Indicate the service accounts to be used for different services Dynamics CRM 2011. We recommend using a domain account. If you use domain accounts would only be necessary to create them in AD are not yet created. The setup of Dynamics CRM will automatically assign the necessary privileges. It is important to remember here:
    • The credentials used to run the services of Dynamics CRM and IIS App Pool can not be users of Dynamics CRM because it could cause problems and unexpected behavior of authentication.
    • The account that is installed Dynamics CRM 2011 should be different from the account or accounts with the service running for the same reasons.
    • The 2011 CRM installation fails if the SQL Server service is running with local administrator account.
    • Services can run with NETWORK SERVICE. However, this is not a good security practice and also operates at the level of organization through service Deployment Windows PowerShell or fail.
    • If you use domain accounts would only be necessary to create them in AD. The setup of Dynamics CRM will automatically assign the necessary privileges.
    • To avoid creating and managing multiple accounts can use the same for all services, although this is not the best security practice especially considering the service Web Service Deployment .
  14. The next step is to select the website that hosts the Dynamics CRM Web application. Here you can use the default website (port 80) or create a completely new website on another port. Unless there is any reason not to install in the default website, leave it as is because among other advantages, will be much easier for users to access by not having to remember a port number.
  15. Specify whether we are using the component E-mail Router for Dynamics CRM on another server, the file name. Most likely, this is not because of what in most cases simply leave this blank .
  16. Specify the name of the organization and the base currency . The organization's name represents the name of the company. The base currency indicates the currency will default to monetary transactions and records to be made ​​within the application (for example, the return value of a business opportunity).It is the currency as the basis for reports and for conversions from other currencies.
  17. Indicate Reporting Services 2008/2008 Server R2 to use. This is the server installed and configured earlier for this purpose or may be others that have been installed in native mode (default mode SSRS installation.) Suggests automatically setup the server path which typically is correct. Anyway, we can verify and test in a separate Internet Explorer window. It is worth noting that the path is required here is the the ReportServer and not the ReportManager.


    Important:
    Make sure the account you are installing Dynamics CRM 2011 is explicitly added in the local Administrators group on SQL Server server where Reporting Services. Even as Domain admin can originate from the error 'rsAccessDenied'. Just 'auto-adding' to the local administrators group, the error disappears.

    Also make sure that port 80 (default port where you install Reporting Services) to accept connections s incoming firewall settings on the server SQL Server Reporting Services. If everything is correct, when we put the path of ReportServer in Internet Explorer from the server you are installing CRM, you should see something like the following:
  18. The next step is to indicate if we participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
  19. Indicate if you want to use Microsoft Update to keep updated our CRM server 2011. The recommendation here is unless there is a very good reason not to, take advantage of Microsoft Update which is one of the great innovations and advantages of this version of Dynamics CRM.
  20. The setup makes a check of the system before proceeding with the installation. Here we will see if everything is OK and / or have some error or warning to address.

    If you've followed all the steps above should have everything OK here or how much less a warning such as Sandboxing service that indicates that you are using the same service account that the other services, which is not the best security practice. Anyway, this does not pose a major issue in most scenarios by which we will continue.
  21. Here, the setup simply indicates the services that can be stopped and restarted during installation.
  22. Here is a summary of preferences before proceeding to install. If we agree, we should simply press 'Install'
  23. Installation begins ...
  24. If everything flows correctamante in the end the setup displays the following dialogue:
  25. To finish we must press on 'Finish' and wait for the server is restarted.
  26. After rebooting the system should be available for access. We can simply open an Internet Explorer window and go to the path where it was installed. If the installation was the default website, the path would be: http:// <servername> <servername> where is the server name. By charging we find a page like this (no data):
  27. We may charge you automatically sample data that can help us in displays / analysis / requirements gathering, etc.. To do this, we must go to Settings-> Data Management and click on Sample Data :
  28. Clicking on Sample Data will open a new dialogue that will allow us to install the sample data or remove if any are already installed.

Post-Installation.

Although so far we have successfully installed the product, we still have one more step to work with reports, view them and create our own reports. Also, if we operate the system in Spanish, we proceed to install the language pack (language pack) accordingly. This section will describe these activities.

Installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions

That step is to install Reporting Services extensions to Dynamics CRM, which is performed on the server SQL Server Reporting services by following these steps :
  1. Within the SQL Server Reporting Services has run SetupSrsDataConnector.exe which is under the folder \ Server \ amd64 \ SrsDataConnector in the middle of Dynamics CRM installation 2011. By the way, run the installer with a 'Run as Administrator'
  2. Like the 2011 installer Dynamics CRM Server, the setup asks if you want to check if updates are available for download and apply before proceeding with the installation. This is recommended to leave the system to check this. Since the release of the product is very recent, when there are no updates, but it is likely that in the future do exist and we should check this.

  3. We accept the licensing terms:
  4. The installer identifies the components required to install automatically and allows so much as we did with the previous installation of Dynamics CRM. Then pressed 'Install' to automatically install these components.

  5. Components installed successfully we are able to continue, press 'Next'
  6. Wait a few seconds until a new dialogue. This can take several seconds .
  7. In this step we must specify the SQL Server server that contains the Dynamics CRM database. Surely it is the same for Reporting Services where we are performing this installation. So write your name and press 'Next'.
  8. Next we must specify the instance of SQL Server Reporting Services to use. Probably the suggestion that we be the only and correct, so click on 'Next' to continue.
  9. As with the installer for Dynamics CRM, this can indicate whether you wish to use Microsoft Updateto keep current components. The recommendation here is the same: unless there is a very good reason not to, take advantage of Microsoft Update which is one of the great innovations and advantages of this version of Dynamics CRM.
  10. Specify the path where the files will stay.
  11. Before proceeding, check your system setup. If there is an error and / or warning, the installer will indicate to us here.
  12. In this step, the setup tells us that the SQL Server Reporting Services will probably be stopped and restarted during the installation process.
  13. In this step, the setup provides us with an overview of the system parameters in order to proceed with it. If we agree simply click on 'Install' to begin the installation.
  14. Start the installation ..
  15. If the installation was successful you should see the end the following dialogue:
  16. Got here, and our reports should work. Let us check this by accessing the area of Dynamics CRM reports. To do this in the area of ' Workspace 'click on' Reports '. If everything is OK, we should now see the list of available reports. 
    We can open any of them and run to finish to confirm that everything is working correctly.



Installing the language pack for Spanish

So far we have fully installed Dynamics CRM 2011 and what remains for us is putting on the Spanish language pack for our users to use the system in this language instead of the base language (English in this case).
We can also perform an installation base directory being the Spanish language if we wish, provided that both the operating system and SQL Server are in Spanish or otherwise, in English. Eg if the Windows Server 2008 is the Portuguese can not do an installation of Dynamics CRM 2011 in Spanish, but that we do in English or Portuguese.
In essence, there are substantial benefits to justify installing it directly in Spanish beyond the customization of entities can be done only in the base language. The end user will not notice any difference.
It is worth mentioning that the language pack must be installed in both Dynamics CRM server and client using Outlook (except to install the Outlook client from the Web CRM via the button 'Get CRM For Outlook' and are working on Spanish).
However, the steps for installing the Spanish language pack on the server, are :
  1. Download language pack from here   . (File CRM2011-Mui-XXX-amd64.exe) Important to note that prior to downloading the package we select the language in the combo "Change Language." and press the button 'Change'
  2. After downloading the package, start the installation. In the first step we asked to select a folder where you unzip the package contents.

  3. After extraction, the installation automatically starts and asks us to accept the license terms and pressures on 'Install' to continue.
  4. Start the installation ..
  5. The installation continues and completes successfully. Press 'Finish'
  6. We must first enable the language to later users (including ourselves as managers) to choose. To do this, logged in as administrator in Dynamics CRM must go to Settings-> Administration and click on 'Languages ​​'. 
  7. Opens a new dialogue in which we will be able to choose 'Spanish'
  8. Click on ' Apply 'to enable the language pack. There is a new confirmation dialog asking and letting us know that the operation may take a few minutes ..
  9. Click on 'OK' to enable packet ...
  10. The language pack must change their status to ' Enabled '(enabled)
  11. This package enables only the language. Still we make the change. To make the change from the CRM Web application must click on File-> Options in the Ribbon.
  12. In the Options window, go to tab 'Languages'
  13. Indicate where the language "Spanish" for both the graphical interface to help.

    The language base (Base Language) is English and is shown for informational purposes only, read-only and can not be changed once created the organization.
  14. We press OK to apply the change.
  15. Now automatically refreshes the graphical interface and we should see it in Spanish.
  16. Keep in mind that as managers if we want customized bike builders entities and / or create solutions, this can only be logged if you are working with the base language (English in this case).Therefore, we ought to change the language if is that we leave our default user configured with Spanish. Otherwise, these options are available as shown in the following figures:

     I hope you have found the guide useful.
