Exchange Online - Room Settings
When migrating to Exchange Online, default settings for room mailboxes don’t allow others users than the “booker” to see information about the booking. This is a fast rundown of how I changed some permissions to allow users to see who booked the room.

Enabling SSH via OEM TGZ on ESXi 4.0

| esxi
Recently I’ve replaced my server at home with a new one.
I installed ESXi on a USB stick and enabled the SSH as described here
Then updated it via vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0.
After rebooting ESXi the SSH server wasn’t working. Doing less /etc/inetd.conf revealed that the SSH server was reset to default (turned off).
Googling this, it seems that ESXi now tries to set the defaults on various things when rebooting.
