How to Make an Exchange Mail Enabled Public Folder an AD Distribution List Member

I came across this issue at work today. A customer wanted to use a Distribution List to send incoming faxes to an Exchange user mailbox and an Exchange e-mail enabled public folder because the fax to e-mail bridge device was incapable of sending the fax to multiple recipients. After I created the DL Group in AD, I couldn’t add the Public Folder or it’s associated e-mail address as a member. Soon after, I realized that the Exchange objects were not visible from Active Directory Users and Computers. Using Exchange System Manager, I browsed to the Public Folder and added the Public Folder to the Group. It works in the other direction. Checking the membership of the group in Active Directory Users and Computers, I found that the Public Folder was visible as a member.

XBOX Media Center

I recently decided to take the plung and try to get more use from my original XBOX. I started by using the softmod that you can find in the #xbins IRC channel on EFnet. I used an Action Replay device to get the files to the xbox and a copy of Splinter Cell that I bought used from a local game store. After installing the softmod, I installed XBOX Media Center binary from t3ch. I’m in XBOX media heaven. Highly recommended.

Tomato Kicks Ass

I saw a link on LifeHacker for a new firmware for Linksys WRT54G routers called Tomato. I’ve been having issues with my current firewall/router implementation so I bought a new WRT54GL, the Linux version of the WRT54G from NewEgg and installed Tomato right away. I couldn’t be happier! Definitely worthwhile if you have a compatible router/firewall/WAP.
