Business phone with bird poop!

I have worked on a lot of telephones but this was a first. Most of the buttons quit working so I had to replace it.

The phone numbers are usually on the right side but I deleted that info. This is very quick and useful for troubleshooting phone issues.

Apple Mail 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 filtered messages.

I have seen this multiple times on my Mac. Click the filter off and the number goes back to normal.

Fortinet "diag vpn tunnel reset" command. Yikes!

While working on a Fortigate that is the central hub for a vpn network, I typed "diag vpn tunnel reset". I intended to type "diag vpn tunnel reset tunnel-name". Most of the vpns dropped and would not come back online. The equipment had to be rebooted at all the remote sites to bring up the vpn tunnels.

Dont do this!!!

How to get a list of ActiveSync users and devices from command line.

Citrix users cannot remove old shortcuts from the Start Menu

Users are not allowed to right click and remove shortcuts. I found the location in the registry but it is encrypted. If I remove all of UserAssist, the Start Menu is empty.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\

After a day of searching I found this this tool that worked for my setup.

Now I am able to remove one outdated shortcut and leave the rest.
