How to automatically uninstall Visual Studio.net 2008/2010 and components
- Although not well-publicized, Microsoft has uninstall tools available for VS.net 2008 and 2010 (English).
- This one did the job of stringing together the individual uninstallers nicely here:
- which beats doing it semi-manually as was explained here.

LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How to alter meeting times in OWA
- Changed your mind/requirements about a meeting time you made?
- Go to your NINERMAIL Calendar, open the meeting, alter the times from the dropdowns (use the “scheduling assistant” to check for conflicts of the new time), click “Send update”

Unable to edit MS-Excel online spreadsheet because of other user locking
- Problem: Why is a user opening a spreadsheet in the browser (even if with edit.aspx URL) causing a warning "The spreadsheet is locked by another user" if i try to open it in MS-Excel? I thought Excel Web App allows multiple uses to edit the spreadsheet at the same time?
- Solution: Opening the spreadsheet for editing in the browser still locks it for being opened in MS-Excel (and vice versa), but not for opening it for editing in another browser.

Using WebParts syntax to navigate OWA?
When you train in OWA, you can take advantage of sending your students directly to certain interfaces of OWA, for doing specific hands-on tasks. If they are not alreay logged in, they seem to get redirected to the desired view in the end Working example:
https://mail.uncc.edu/owa/?cmd=contents&fpath=Calendar&view=Weekly&archivestub=1
Limitations seem to be in the browsers: IE> Firefox > Safari.
However, I could not find a way to send a user to a specific view of an OWA published calendar (seems to default always to monthly). Non-working eexamples:
bad request http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html?view=Weekly 404 http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/Weekly/calendar.html#
See documentation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199.aspx
Can you use webbparts to save your users to have to change the view 
when they open up a calendar like http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCRoomCOED434@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html#, or another way to open this calendar not in its (monthly) default view?
