Since yesterday my laptop is totally secure :-)

Even I'm not able to login anymore.....

What happend: I caught the zlob trojan, which is a bad thing. First I thought I could remove it using tools like knoppicillin or some other external virus scanners and bootdisks. But suddenly I realized, my harddisk has been encrypted 3 months ago....gosh...

Next thing I tried, booting windows in safe-mode, removing the virus with some tools and several av-engines. When I tried to switch back to normal windows the sequence started: starting up windows..... shutting windows down..... Halt.....panic!

After a hard reboot the encryption program blocked my whole machine. My harddisk is still encrypted and unaccessible therefor now I have a very secure system...

Our helpdesk has to pull the harddisk out, access it from a different System and get the data of my drive....

What about a backup? Sure. Its 3 months old......

As a developer your sourcecode is in a svn repository or not? nope, svn repository crashed 6 months ago. just before lotusphere we got our hardware back. svn restoreing was planned for this week...... crap.....

Yesterday we fought a very strange problem in LEI 8.0.1.

We created a new replication activity from an MS SQL source to a Notes database. About 80'000 records.
 Every time we stop this activity, either by hand or by timeout,  the server will crash.

The server then reboots and crashes again with the same errormessage:




To start the server, we had to disable the LEI task in the notes.ini file, start the server, delete all the entries in LEILOG.nsf, enabel LEI in the notes.ini and restart the server again.

I found the following link today:
Lotus Support 6.0

Maybe the Notes.ini Setting EIUseOSMemory=1 will help.

We have to try this and look what happens.


Seems that the ini setting saved my day.
