File Server publishing through OWA

March 27th, 2009 No comments

Hi,

I’m here with a new problem that I solved a while ago, but I do think lots of people will benefit from this.
Outlook Web Access 2007 has a new feature “Documents”. It can be used to access your documents through owa from anywhere.

The problem is, that even when you configure everything, it still doesn’t work. You can only access the local exchange server, but no other computer or server. Because you always get the following error:

authentication-failure

Authentication Failure:
Outlook Web Access was unable to retrieve the requested SharePoint document or folder. This may have occured because of the way your Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint servers are configured. You can try going directly to the resource by copying the link you typed and pasting it into Internet Explorer. For more information, contact technical support for your organization.

The error states an error with a SharePoint document, but we do want to access a File Share.

My Windows Live Messenger layout proposal

March 20th, 2009 No comments

Hi,

I’ve been using the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 since it was available as a beta.
In this version there is a bug with the display pictures. It doesn’t remember the size you selected.
It is a known bug, but still, in the final release, it’s still there !

For now, I just hide the display pictures, as they take too much space in the “medium” setting (How big would “Large” be?).
But even with small display pictures, there is a lot of wasted space.

The reason for this post is that I made a simple redesign of the layout, using the small display pictures.

So, what do you think? Should the Messenger developer team change their layout?

edit: Due to request I’ve added a possible screen when used with a webcam.
edit2: I also added the original layout.

Do you like my proposal layout?
