A little something about everything

This works but you should still stop and backup your ts3 server.

After you backup is complete follow these steps.

While ts3 server is stopped start the server using this command: (assuming you are running 64 bit server on windows)

(Drive):\Path\ts3server_win64.exe serveradmin_password=YourNewPassWord

(You can do this by making a shortcut and editing the target location as well)

Now you have an updated TS3 admin password, with this you can create a new privileged key.

Using puttytel.exe or any other telnet client to type the following commands:

telnet localhost 10011 login client_login_name=serveradmin client_login_password=YourNewPassWord use sid=1 tokenadd tokentype=0 tokenid1=6 tokenid2=0

(localhost if your server is hosted on the pc/server you are running telnet on, otherwise just use the ip or server name)

After the last command the server will respond with a token=YourNumbersAndLettersToeknID

Copy this and past it into your TS3 client under permissions > use privileged key.

In order to fix this bug you can simply run this command on the effected database after you have used the backup (sql2000) / restore sql2005/2008) or detach attach methods.

command to run:

 exec sp_change_users_login'Update_One','dbusername','dbusername'

Replace "dbusername" with the problem user account. both should be the same.

This will remove the ghost user from the sql 2000 server and replace it with the new user on your sql 2005 / 2008 server. Be sure to have the user created before running this command.

Errors associated with this are as follows:

"login name must be specified Database user"

"The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped"

"user group or role already exists in the current database"

"can't delete sql user in database"

Preventing comment spam on your blogging pages can be a hard task. However there is a way to prevent the spammers from benifiting by all the comment spam. You can simply include rel="nofollow" to all comment links.

Example: Visit my <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">some generic spam</a> site

The IE developer toolbar is a great little tool. However, it adds one annoying function to IE even when it is not open, the annoying little pop-up ruler box. You can easily disable this function by doing Ctrl+R while it is open and then close it with the x.
