Specifying default outlook signature for a user.

Scenario: A user has access to multiple signatures through the Instant Mail module of RES PowerFuse. Besides this we would like to have a specific signature as default. The problem is that the Instant Mail module in RES Powerfuse 2008 SR3, currently doesn’t support changing the order in which signatures are applied.

RunBook Automation eBooks

 Ever since RES changed the tagline for Wisdom to RunBook automation for Windows, many of us did not have a clue what RunBook automation really was. If you still feel somewhat in the dark on this important matter, then you will be pleased to know that RES has sponsored RealTime Publishers to write 3 brand new articles. Have a look at below. Click on the image, for some very good information on the subject.

Note this is pretty high-level stuff. If you want the nuts and bolts, stick around… :) There might very well be coming  more fun to do with Wisdom in a short while.

One application in Powerfuse using App-V on Workstation/Server

So you’re running RES Powerfuse, Microsoft App-V, Windows XP/Vista and Windows TerminalServer? Instead of having to install in the same directory on the desktop- and the server version of App-V, you can do an environment variable, which can handle the install path difference. What will I gain from this, you might ask? Well, You’ll only need to maintain one application, instead of two (or more)

This is how this can be done. Download the document here:

Zen and the Art of PowerTrace

A  nice presentation shared by one of the friendly folks over at RES. This one is called Business Value of PowerTrace. It essentially shows you all the cool things which you can find out about your organization, using PowerTrace, a component of PowerFuse 2008 Enterprise edition. Please be sure to check the speaker notes on the PowerPoint, as there is a ton of valuable information in there. Some of the things you can discover are:

• What’s a certain user been doing at a certain time?
• Who’s been doing things they’re not supposed to do?
• Who’s been editing a certain [type of] docment in a given department?
• Web activity of a user or department
• What’s the Top-10 usage of applications and websites?
• What’s the daily maximum users on my terminal servers?

These and other questions are answered in the presentation. Enjoy:

Wisdom PowerSaver/ROI Calculator

A new calculator has been posted. This one will help you determine how much power and thereby money you can save by utilizing RES Wisdom to turn off/servers in your environment. This subject was adressed in an article by Edgar over at the RESinside blog. The PowerSaver calculator builds on that article. On top of that, a ROI calculator has been thrown in for good measure. This will enable you to, just based on the simplest of Wisdom’s features, find out how long before Wisdom has paid for itself.
