How to delete LinkedIn saved e-mail contacts

edit: Solution all the way at the end, skip to the direct link if you are thinking TLDR.

After receiving one to many e-mails from LinkedIn with the message that e-mail contact x had joined LinkedIn, I started looking for a way to delete these contacts or address book and stop receiving these mails. It turns out this is not as easy as you think.

Firstly disable the sending of these e-mails is not possible, it’s not listed on the options to opt-out of different kinds of e-mail communications from LinkedIn.
LinkedIn communication settings

If you read some posts on the internet everyone keeps reffering to https://www.linkedin.com/contacts/manage_sources/ but this only lists options to add sources for synchronizing, I had nothing enabled so I couldn’t disable anything. At the top of content it showed me the number of LinkedIn connections and I could click on that, but it showed me a list of my connections, even after changing the filters to saved contacts it didn’t show anything besides connections.

So the wise thing to do is open a support ticket, and so I did but 5 days later the support person could only send me standard responses and did not really understand or read my question.

SOLUTION: I then finally found the answer by accident after I was changing my profile information.
When you get to this page: https://www.linkedin.com/fetch/importAndInviteEntry it show at the top Manage imported contacts. And that brings you to this page: https://www.linkedin.com/people/contacts where you will see all your imported contacts and you can delete them all.

Finally, no thanks to LinkedIn support.

Exchange: Name Could Not be Matched to a Name in the Address List

English: “Name Could Not be Matched to a Name in the Address List”
Dutch: “Naam niet gevonden in de adreslijst”

Outlook showed this error while setting up the mailbox profile.
The user could login in to OWA without issues. In my case it had nothing to do with the Global Address List or Offline Address book.
Seems some attributes on the user in Active Directory were missing. In Exchange console i disabled the mailbox and thus removing exchange attributes from the user. The mailbox them became disconnected, and next I connected the mailbox again to the same user.

After that everything worked! If you have multiple AD sites remember that the Domain Controllers need time to sync.

6to4 isatp tunnel problem windows VISTA & 7

The PC or laptop may appear to be very slow and CPU is at 100% most of the time. When you check in taskmanager (after selecting show processes from all users) 1 or more svchost.exe processes are hogging CPU. When you right click the svchost.exe and choose “go to service” you find oud that it is 1 of the following services:
– wudfsvc
– DcomLaunch
– PlugPLay

Open up a Command prompt (type cmd in the start – search field) and type in ipconfig to see if there a lot of tunnel adapters present. Normally you see only 1 or maximum 4 and then a local area network and perhaps a wireless adapter. If you have dozens of tunnel adapters, then this bug is effecting you.

Too many tunnel adapters in IPCONFIG
Too many tunnel adapters in IPCONFIG

To solve this execute the following:
Open up a Command prompt (CMD) but right click to run as administrator.
Type (without the quotes): netsh int isa set state disabled
Leave the command prompt open.
Now open up device manager, go to view and select “show hidden devices”.
In the device list, go to network adapters and disable the “Toredo tunneling interface” and the “6to4 adapter”.
To remove the large amount of tunnel adapters you can use this batch file, thanks to: Ryan Victory.
Remove tunnel adapters Batch file download link
You extract the content and run as administrator (right click) the 6to4remover.bat file from the folder that corresponds to you OS architecture (32 or 64 bit).
If you get a popup asking to accept license terms for devcon.exe, accept it. Maybe you then have to run as administrator it again to start. When it’s started it will remove all excess adapters.

After these actions are complete reboot your system. It should be back to normal.

VPN tunnel between Netscreen and Cisco

Recently I had some troubles setting up a VPN between a Netscreen and a Cisco device from the remote party.

We had agreed upon a Preshared Key and 3DES/SHA1 encryption/hash algorithms using main mode and DH group 2. The Cisco side had added group 2 to their isamkp setting but they could not add the same group command to the transform command so my Phase2 had NOPFS set while my Phase1 was DH group 2.

The tunnel still did not come up, debugging was not useful as it was the Netscreen that initiated the tunnel every time and the log just showed an answer from the Cisco with “no proposal chosen”. After looking into their config and a hint on the internet, I configured the proxyID on the tunnel with local address = my WAN IP and remote address = their WAN IP. And that did the trick, tunnel was up.

Enable Remote Desktop Remotely with PSEXEC

Download PSTOOLS from microsoft. Unzip to an easy to access location.
Open a CMD command prompt, navigate to the PSTOOLS location.
Execute:

psexec \\machinename reg add "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server" /f /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Machinename should be replaced with the computername, ideally you already have admin rights to this PC, for example you run this as the domain administrator. Otherwise the have to supply credentials using -u and -p options.
If you still can’t connect this is most likely the windows firewall.
Execute:
psexec \\machinename netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable
psexec \\machinename netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable

FORTIGATE : Static routes must have lower distance then default GW

Had this problem on a Fortigate 60B & 60C. Static routes did not work as expected.
The static route did not work until the distance was set to 1 which is lower than the 0.0.0.0 default route who has distance 10. Maybe this is not a bug, but intended behaviour. On Netscreen the 0.0.0.0 default route is always the last to be applied and all other static routes go first.
