Recently MDaemon that installed on Windows Server 2003, ceased to send or receive messages from\to some mail servers. As it turned out, the problem is in the obsolete SSL\TLS protocols on Windows Server 2003.

Symptoms (cut from log):

In QNAP storages you cannot change or reset password for iSCSI target using web interface. You can only delete target and create it again. Of course you will lose all data from target.

Fortunately, password stored in plain text in /etc/config/iscsi_trgt.conf file, field CHAPPasswd. There is field for CHAP user also. You can connect to the device using Putty and find password without need to reset the whole target.

Unfortunately, sometimes we cannot log in into Windows-system because we have lost or forgot password local administrator account.

Fortunately, there is a way to reset this password ;). Now I will show you, how to do this. I recommend to add this article to your bookmarks, to have this manual when you're really need it :-).

First of all, you will need to download this iso image. We will use it to reset password. Burn image to CD-disk or mount it into your virtual machine (in my case it was exactly in VM). Boot from the image.

Second, Lync 2010 have issue, when user try to login before it was enabled in Lync Server, something in client goes wrong and after it was enabled in Server, client still cannot login. The same issues can occur when some fields in Active Direcotry user account is changed.

• We have reviewed mail flow rules on transport servers.

All these actions didnt give answer.
