PlayStation 3


PS3在欧洲已经上市近四个月了,终于开始了第一轮降价。虽然官方只是说将有80GB的版本来代替目前的60GB,而采取的促销,然而PS3自出师以来销售业绩不佳是不争的事实,以致其第一轮的降价就达到£100之多。本次降价不是直接采用降低主机价格的做法,而是采取捆绑游戏,影碟和SIXAXIS手柄的做法。Amazon捆绑了三个游戏,SIXAXIS手柄和HDMI线;HMV则是捆绑了两个游戏,两部蓝光影碟和SIXAXIS手柄,如果按零售价来算,降幅已超过了一百镑。PS3虽然有顶级的硬件配置,以及PS系列的优良血统,但由于初期曲高和寡的价格定位与缺乏王牌游戏的支持,而没有出现像Wii那样发售初期供不应求的火暴态势。查一查PS3游戏的发布时间表,几个白金系列的游戏,都要在9,10月份才陆续上市,而目前的几款游戏,图像上还不能和XBOX 360拉开距离。

不过销售上的不顺,倒是给玩家节省了腰包,周五研究了许久,周六还是没能说服自己,屁颠屁颠地跑到HMV,刷了£447.00(加上一根Component HD视频线),把PS3抱回了家。在车上就迫不及待地打开了包装,老实说,起初有点失望,包装很简单,配件做工也很一般,待回家取出主机,才稍稍安慰。非常漂亮!PS3的输出接口不复杂,HDMI输出,一个复合视频音频输出,还有一个就是光纤的音频口。机器表面唯一的两个按键都是触摸的,非常简洁。迫不及待地接上Dell 24寸屏,拆了游戏来测试,画面效果确实不错(废话)。之后又上网注册了机器,升级了系统,并从网上下载了一些游戏和电影预告来测试。总的来说还是比较满意的,接下来就是等着那些重量级游戏的上市啦。

Exchange 2003 POP3/IMAP4 clients cannot connect to a server

前几天遇到一个非常诡异的问题,Exchange 2003服务器好好地在运行,唯独无法用我的账号连接POP3和IMAP4服务器,用TELNET测试也不能连接,提示为用户名密码错误,但WebOutlook却可以正常登入。需要指出的是,登陆用户名和邮件地址采用了不同的名字。在排除了一些常见的配置错误后(比如虚拟服务器是否启动,用户验证方式是否正确),参考微软技术网站上937359支持文档。该方案是针对用户无法连接Exchange 2007上的POP3/IMAP4虚拟服务器,错误提示为:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\Pop and Imap
IMAPxxx.logPOP2xxx.log

-ERR Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

根据文档的解释,错误用户名和密码是因为无法使用DomainName\Username\Alias格式去登陆Exchange服务器。解决该错误要配置正确user principal name (UPN),步骤如下:

Active Directory Users and Computers中找到该用户,打开属性,Account Tab, 确认User Logon Name与邮件地址名称是一致的。
或者打开Exchange General Tab, 确认Alias中填写了该用户的用户名。

Exchange 2003 Public Folder Manage - SSL certificate server name error

这几天一直在新服务器上调试Exchange 2003,也正是一些莫名小问题不断地出现,使得对Exchange有了更多了解。今天在设置Public Folder时, 反复出现以下的错误窗口:

The SSL certificate server name is incorrect.
ID no: c103b404
Exchange System Manager

以至不能显示文件夹内容。通过搜索,发现有不少该错误的讨论,不过绝大多数采用微软技术网站上的Q324345解决方案。该方案同时也针对以下的错误信息:

The connection was aborted. Ensure that the settings on your default Web site are correct and refresh the Public Folder Tree
ID no: c103b402
Exchange System Manager

The token supplied to the function is invalid.
ID no: 80090308
Exchange System Manager

根据该文档的解释,以上的错误是因为在使用SSL认证时,无法找到Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) 的服务器;或者在Exadmin虚拟文件夹中没有正确配置SSL认证。对此解决方法其实很简单,只需要将Exadmin虚拟文件夹中的SSL选项去除即可。具体步骤如下:

1.Right-click Exadmin, and then click Properties.
2.Click the Directory Security tab.
3.Under Secure Communications, click Edit.
4Click to clear the Require secure channel (SSL) check box. If Require 128-bit encryption is shaded, click to select Require secure channel (SSL), click to clear Require 128-bit encryption, and then click to clear the Require secure channel (SSL) check box again.
5.Click OK two times.
6.Restart Exchange System Manager.


可能在大多数情况下,通过上面的操作即能解决问题,但在公司的服务器上试了好几次,依然无法打开Public Folder,依然出现错误提示。

于是继续搜索网络,发现了另一种解决方法。该操作需要使用Server 2003中的一个Support Tool, ADSIEDIT。安装程序可以在系统安装光盘2中找到。ADSIEDIT(Active Directory Service Interface Edit)是编辑活动目录中对象属性的工具。安装好后从C:\Programe Files\Support Tools里启动adsiedit.msc ,寻找下面的对象属性:

CN=Configuration, then CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=your domain name, CN=Administrative Groups, CN=First Administrative Group, CN=Servers, CN=your machine name, CN=Protocols, CN=HTTP, CN=1, CN=Exadmin

显示CN=Exadmin 对象属性,查询msExchSecureBindings属性值。高亮该属性,点击编辑,如果有:443:, 把该值去除,然后关闭ADSIEDIT, 等待几分钟后,待活动目录完全同步复制后,再试着打开Public Folder!
