DimDim Virtual Meeting Issues

DimDim is very similar to GoToMeeting and WebEX.  My first test was somewhat disappointing.  After you setup your account, you can host a meeting.  After clicking Host Meeting, DimDim performs an automatic test of your software.  My computer failed the Browser Support Test.  The error message stated:
"This browser is not supported at the moment.  Please use either Internet Explorer version 6.1 and above or Mozilla Firefox to host or join meetings."
I am currently using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows Vista 32 bit. After poking around DimDim's Knowledge Base and Forums I couldn't find any specific information on IE 8 but I did read about some issues with Add-ons and IE.

I decided to experiment with disabling individual Add-ons in IE to see if they were causing the problem.  I found disabling the GoogleFrame BHO and Google Toolbar Notifieer BHO Add-ons I was able to successfully to pass the DimDim startup check and Browser support Check.

Once I was able to resolve this issue I have been very satisfied with DimDim.  Their prices are fantastic and so far performance is great.

Removing Footer Information in WordPress Atahualpa Theme

I use the Atahualpa theme on several WordPress sites.  On a couple of occasions I have been asked to modify the footer so it only displays  the copyright information.  Here are the steps to remove the "Powered by WordPress -Atahualpa Theme by BytesFor All" out of the footer.
  • In WordPress Admin Click on Editor under Appearance.
  • In the Edit Themes Page select "Theme Functions"(functions.php) on the right side of the screen.
  • A little less than a quarter of the way down the functions.php code you will find:
function footer_output($footer_content) { $footer_content .= '
Powered by WordPress & the Atahualpa Theme by BytesForAll. Discuss on our WP Forum'; return $footer_content;

  • Change that entire section with:
function footer_output($footer_content) { return $footer_content;
  • Click Update File
Here are a couple of examples of the footer showing only the copyright information;

Removing Computers in Active Directory

We experinced a Windows 2003 server failure (two of the 3 drives on the RAID-5 failed at once).  The decision was made to move the server contents to a virtual sever.  The new server has the same name of the older server. 

Before I could name the new server, the old server needed to be removed from Active Directory.  I went into Active Directory, found the server in the appropriate folder, right clicked it and selected Delete. After clicking Delete I recieved the following error:

The object or some of the objects it contains cannot be deleted because access is denied Scope Agreement: To fix help removing the object (Member server) from active directory.

After clicking OK I recieved an error message stating Access Denied.

To correct the problem from the command prompt I opened ADSIEDIT.msc  on the Domain Controller. In ADSI Edit I browsed to the correct container folder and expanded the server I was trying to delete. Once expanded, I was able to see a folder under the computer name.  I right clicked on the folder and deleted it.  Once deleted I was able to delete the server.

I verified the server was removed from DNS and was able to successfully name my new server the same name as the one it replaced.
