Vista - Unable to sync at this time. Please try again. Toshiba

When trying to sync offline files you get “Unable to sync at this time. Please try again.”

If you have a Toshiba laptop uninstall True Suite Access - this is Toshbia’s Fingerprint Manager software.

For some reason it conflicts with offline files.

Email going to Folders on My Computer instead of Exchange Inbox folder

When receiving an email from my exchange server in Entourage it is going into folders on my computer inbox rather than Exchange Inbox.

Solution: Check that you have no rules setup, it is very easy in Entourage to setup a rule with incorrect settings. Also look in the mailing list manager for rules that have been created.

Sophos small business solutions: error ‘You do not have sufficient privileges to run the Sophos Anti-Virus

When trying to open Sophos on the client (by right clicking the system tray icon and selecting ‘Open Sophos Antivirus’) you get the following error:

You do not have sufficient privileges to run the Sophos Anti-Virus main application.
You are not a member of one of the Sophos groups. In order to be able to launch this application, you must be a member of SophosAdministrator, SophosPowerUser or SophosUser group. Please contact the Administrator.

Fix can be found on the Sophos site:

http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/17403.html

However if this does not work (as it didn’t for me) you will need to reinstall Sophos on that client. Remember to delete it off the server too from the enterprise console.
