I've just upgraded a server from IBM Domino 9.0.1 to Domino 10.0.1, and am having some trouble with NDX files (view indexes stored outside databases).

I tested some custom app functionality after the upgrade, and found that code which used views sometimes produced the error message "Attempt to Reopen an Open Container".

To resolve the error, I ran the server command load updall -R to rebuild all  ...

Linux: Converting from NIS to AD auth, how to associate old UID/GID to "new" users?
cn flag

Background: Our org has used NIS for 20+ years for UNIX/Linux authentication, continuing thru the present time. Windows and Active Directory came on the scene in our org sometime around 16 years ago, but AD was never used for Linux auth (only using RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu Linux now, all other *nix has fallen by the wayside.) So, on all of our many Linux resources, we are still using traditional UID/GID r ...

Using AWS, I want to setup an endpoint where customers can upload files via a POST or PUT with an token for authorization. Alternatively, they could also use SFTP (write only) with a token or user id / password.

Disable RDP for a local administrator with powershell

I've gone through a ton of online threads to no avail. I'd like to disable RDP for a local admin on multiple Windows Servers with powershell. I've found ways to disable it on gpedit's GUI and to disable it completely for all users with Powershell but not for one single administrator.

Thank you in advance.

Assign a specific machine SID to a new Windows system
pl flag

Windows Setup assigns a unique machine SID to a Windows system at install time. The machine SID is not exposed over the network, and as such it usually does not matter what it is, but local users' security identifiers are based on the machine SID, and this can create problems when sharing user profiles and user-created files on NTFS volumes. Even if the files and folders have ACLs with only predefined,  ...

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
