Exchange 2007 and ActiveSync. Which device?

To find out which device user utilizes to connect to Exchange 2007 following powershell command can be used:
Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox domain\blye |
ft DeviceType, DeviceUserAgent, LastSuccessSync

Taken from here: http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/identifying-exchange-activesync-users-with-powershell/ (with the small change you do have to use "domain\" in front of account name)

Symantec Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator v9 SP2 has synchronization with AD group broken

We noticed that employee group in EV CA v9 sp2 that synchronizes with AD group is empty after the upgrade from v8 sp4 to v9 sp2. Symantec Tech Support confirmed that issue is re-producible in their lab.

Let me note that the bug is VERY critical making the Compliance Accelerator scheduled searches return zero hits, because the target employee group has no employees.

The workaround is to synchronize the EV CA employee group with “Active Directory Container” and not “Windows group or distribution list”

Netbackup 7.0.1 and Encryption

Upgrade of the client to Netbackup7.0.1 breaks encryption, which makes the backups of that clients hang.
Here is the solution:
1. Locate and rename the file keyfile.dat (\Veritas\Netbackup\var\keyfile.dat)
2. Run bpkeyutil -client (from \Veritas\Netbackup\bin)
(Keyfile.dat gets re-created)

Permissions to SQL Database

I have been working on the problem of Synchronization two vendor databases (to be particular – Symantec Endpoint Encryption (SEE) Database should be synchronized with Symantec Altiris Management Platform – former Notification Server Database). The synchronization did not work. What turned out to be a cause of the problem was a permission issue. I figured that Altiris Server (not an any user account) must have permissions to SEE Database. I added DomainName\AltirisServerName$ to the Users in the Security section of SEE Database with db_datareader and db_datawriter roles and synchronization started working.
