If you are a sysadmin you have likely experienced that some odd user keep getting his/her Windows Domain Account locked out, there can be numerous reasons for this but while debugging the exact reason the user keep getting locked out and keep calling you every hour or so to be unlocked.
Well I came up with a workaround, you download a simple freeware utility called unlock.exe, and then schedule a batch job to run every 15-30 min that simply unlocks the account. Now this is not the solution, as you really need to find the cause, but as debugging things like these can take some time and perhaps you have other pressing matters as well – then this is a fair workaround.
The batch file would look something like this;
unlock.exe . username
The unlock command also allow for listing locked accounts, and now I am thinking, maybe I could even set up some surveillance with this, creating a list of locked accounts every morning… but that’s another story 🙂

Last night I took the time to go see the Transformers II movie, my expectations was “so so” as a friend of mine had claimed it to be poor, but as I liked the first movie why would I not like the second one..
Conclusion, well true the story line is a bit odd (as some guy wrote “they keep making poor choices” in this movie) and the plot might have been better for a movie with a budget like this.. but that said, rarely have I experienced such a marvel of CGI effects – it was one long show off with excellent action sequences and cool effects.
Don’t bring your girlfriend to watch this one, but for a guy’s night out this is definitely worth a look (if for nothing else then for the HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT Megan Fox).

You likely already know about VLC player from VideoLan.org? It is a nifty little player that has several cool features, like; it is free, it has build in codex’es and oh yeah it is free 😉
The really cool thing about VLC is that it come with build in codex’es, this is clever because it is often here mediaplaying go wrong, a user simply does not have the right codex and can not display a mediaclip, many PC users have downloaded a codex pack – however your old aunt Oda have not and cant watch the videoclips you put on your website.. Well VLC deal with this by integrating the codexes, this way you wont have to think about it.
In the past the VLC player had one drawback, it was ugly and un userfriendly, however in the first final (it has been in beta for many years now) version this seem to be fixed.. the player looks nice and is easy to navigate..
Just before I was about to post this I was informed about another player very similar; http://kmplayer.en.softonic.com/ KMPlayer
looks very nice (possibly even a bit better than VLC, so give it a spin also)..
