Add Hotmail & Live Email Accounts to Outlook 2010

Add Your Hotmail Account to Outlook
Now you’re ready to add your Hotmail account to Outlook.  If this is the first time you’ve run Outlook 2010, you’ll be greeted with the following screen.  Click Next to proceed with setup.


Then select Yes and click Next again.


If you’ve already got an email account setup in Outlook, you can add a new account by clicking File and then selecting Add account.


Now, enter your Hotmail account information, and click Next.

Outlook will search for your account settings and automatically setup your account with the Hotmail connector we previously installed.

If you entered your password incorrectly previously, you may see the following popup.  Re-enter your password and click OK, and Outlook will re-verify your settings.

Once everything’s finished and setup, you’ll see the following completion screen.  Click Finish to complete the setup and check out your Hotmail in Outlook.


Welcome to your Hotmail account in Outlook 2010.  You’ll notice a small notification at the bottom of the window notifying you that you’re connected to Windows Live Hotmail.  Now your email will synchronize with your Hotmail account, and your Outlook calendar and contacts will be synced with your Live calendar and contacts, respectively.  This is the closest you can get to full Exchange without an Exchange account, and in our experience it works great.  In fact, Hotmail Sync seems to work faster than IMAP sync for us.


Setup Hotmail With POP3 Access
If you need to access your Hotmail email account but don’t want to install the Outlook Connector, then you can add it with POP3 sync.  We recommend going with the Outlook Connector for the best experience, but if you can’t install it (eg. you’re not allowed to install applications on your work PC) then this is a good alternative.
To do this, follow our tutorial on setting up a Gmail POP3 account in Outlook. Although the article concentrates on Gmail, the settings are essentially the same. The only thing you’ll want to change is the Incoming and Outgoing mail server.

• Incoming mail server – pop3.live.com
• Outgoing mail server – smtp.live.com
• User name – your Hotmail or Live email address
• Incoming Server (POP3) – 995
• Outgoing Server (SMTP) – 587
• Also, check This server requires and encrypted connection

Just as in the Gmail example, select TLS for the type of encrypted connection.  Then, on the bottom, make sure to uncheck the box to Remove messages from the server after a number of days.  This way your messages will still be accessible from your Hotmail account online.

Conclusion
Even though Hotmail is generally not as popular as Gmail, it works great with Outlook integration.  If you’re a heavy user of Windows Live services, or want to try them out, Outlook Connector is the easiest way to keep your desktop activity synced with the cloud.  If you’re just one of the millions of Hotmail users who want to access their old Hotmail account alongside their other accounts, this method works great for you too.

Fixing "BOOTMGR is missing" Error While Trying to Boot Windows 7 or Vista

If your Windows 7 or Vista computer has encountered the dreaded “BOOTMGR is missing” error, you aren’t alone. If the problem isn’t hardware related you can fix it with relative ease as long as you have a Windows DVD handy.
If you don’t have one, you can create a Windows Vista repair disk using our guide.

Boot off the Windows Vista DVD and then click Next at the first prompt:

You should see a link in the lower left-hand side for “Repair your computer”

The installation process will attempt to find your Vista installation directory. If there’s more than one in the list, select the correct one and then use the Next button again.

Click the first link for “Startup Repair”

The installation process will repair the system, and then prompt for you to reboot.

Alternatively you could have chosen the Command Prompt option instead, and use the following command to fix the boot options only:

bootrec /fixboot

At this point you should be able to reboot your computer, remove the DVD and everything should be working. If not, then head over to our forums and ask your question there. We’ve got some top-notch geeks over there!

Domain Password Change Policy In Windows 2008

a very important note if you have remote domain users. before enabling a password change policy, and your remote users ( outside your network ) have not changed their domain passwords for a long time, then you need to notify them to change their password before enabling the password change policy. otherwise they will not be able to access their e-mail ( if any ) or any other network resources they access on the network, because their domain accounts will be locked out. if you want to test your password change policy before implementing it, make sure all users are set to “password never expires” in AD:

also, before setting up and enabling a domain password policy you need to have already defined the type of policy you want to enforce. normally the requirements for such policies come from outside IT per organizational requirements. for example, before you start playing with the domain controller you should already have at least the following info:

1. password age requirement
2. minimum password length
3. will you enforce users to include complex characters and symbols on their passwords?
4. etc.

if you already have that info, then login to to your domain controller server, and open the Group Policy Management Editor. right-click on the Default Domain Policy and select edit. expand the Windows settings folder, and navigate to security settings. under Account Policies click on click on Password Policy:

once you click on the password policy applet on the right side of your screen, you will have the following 6 policy settings:

1. Enforce password history on this policy you can set how many new passwords a user needs to use before he/she starts reusing an old password again. is always a good idea to set this number to at least 3. there are many users that keep reusing known passwords over and over again, just because is easier for them to remember.
2. maximum password age this is the main policy. enter the number of days a domain password can be used before AD enforce the user to change the password . for example, if you want your users to change their password every 3 months, enter 90 on this policy.
3. minimum password age on this policy you can specify how many days a password need to be used before the password can be changed again. set it to 0 if you want to allow users to change passwords immediately.
4. minimum password length in this policy you need to specify the minimum password length you want your users to use. it is recommended to at least enforce users to use 6 characters on their passwords.
5. password must be complexity requirements this policy is tightly integrated with the previous policy. it is highly recommended to enforce users to use a minimum 6 characters password, and include special characters, numbers, and symbols in it.
6. store passwords using reversible encryption. This security setting determines whether the operating system stores passwords using reversible encryption. most of the time this policy is left as disable.

your overall password change policy should look like this:

now enforce the policy from the group policy management editor. right-click on the default domain policy object, and click on Enforced

that should enforce the password change policy throughout your network. pat yourself on the back, you’re done… now expect the phone to start ringing because some users cannot login to their computers.. is all good.
