Outlook 2010 – Add Conference Details to Appointments

Are you a project manager. Do you use Outlook to create meetings every day and have Teleconferencing info and Web Conference Details. I am sure you do a lot of copy pasting and are always eager to ensure that you have sent the correct details.

Well, good news ! I created an Outlook Add-In for it (I have tested it for Outlook 2010 – If you are interested,Leave a comment I will post the Outlook 2013 version and you can test it for me ).

Please download it from HERE

The Add-In should be fairly easy to install once you download it.

Here are some instructions

  • Unzip and Click on the Setup.exe, The installation should be fairly quick
  • Once you have installed , Please restart your Outlook.exe (If already running, If not, just start it)
  • Try and create a new appointment / calendar invite
  • You will see a new Tab in the ribbon called the “My Teleconference” (if you don’t see this, ensure you have restarted the Outlook. If it still doesn’t work, it might not have installed properly

  • Please click on Configure/Change – You will get the settings window. Fill in the details and click on Save Settings

  • After you are done, you can from then on use the Fill Telecon Details on any Calendar appointment and it will fill the details

NOTE: Please be advised, that the body will be added to and not replaced, so you don’t loose what you were typing. However, if you click multiple times, the conference details will also be added multiple times

The below shows the output

Juniper Aggregate Interfaces (LACP/No LACP)

Image
Last week, I was implementing link aggregation on Juniper EX Series switches (EX4200). I was moving them off HP switches and putting them into Juniper. We were moving VMWare ESX boxes, NetApp and some physical boxes, though the configuration is very simple, I would like to mention how to do those with these boxes. Points to remember: You will explicitly need to create “Aggregated Ethernet” interfaces on juniper You cannot have more than 64 AE interfaces on a single Virtual Chassis You cannot change the algorithm for load balancing between the multiple links. (If you are interested in the Junipers LAG algorithm read this ) Now having said this, lets look at the common steps, you need to create the Aggregated Ethernet interfaces on the Juniper. root@EX4200#set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count  4 The above command will create 4 “ae” interfaces, after you commit, you should see ae0 – ae 3 created. You can have any value between 1 and 64 in...

Configuring Multicasting with Juniper EX switches (Part 1)

Image
Configuring multicast routing using Protocol Independent Multicast in a all Juniper environment is as simple as the Cisco environment, but when I searched, I dint find good articles or KB’s explaining this, so I decided to write one. I am fairly certain that if you have searched and arrived at this post, you know the basics of multicasting and IGMP, but yet, for the benefit of all readers, I will in brief describe the need for multicast. Please note, that this is just the IPv4 version of the story presented in a understandable manner and not all aspects of multicast are covered, but only the ones needed for this post. What is Multicast ? In IPv4 we have 3 kinds of packets, Unicast – One Source, One Destination Broadcast – One source and all destinations Multicast – One source and many destinations Now, all of us are familiar with the first one, we use it almost every minute we are on a network connected equipment. To, explain all this, lets choose different ...
