RightFax is not starting after Crowdstrike. Here is how to fix it.

A customer contacted us to report that their RightFax Server would not start after being affected by Crowdstrike.

Upon checking the events log, we noticed that the licensing server was not starting, and the error message was completely meaningless - "Error in XML Document, hexadecimal blah blah blah…."

To keep the story short:

1. Navigate to the ProgramData\RightFax\Settings\RFLicensing directory.
2. Rename the LicensingServiceSettings.xml file to something else.
3. Go to Services and start the RightFax licensing service.
4. This will generate a new LicensingServiceSettings.xml file.
5. Restart all the RightFax services.

Good luck!

P.S. If you are in Australia and need an in-country cloud fax service, feel free to contact us. We would be happy to assist.

An attachment with a virus is running wild in Domino - This is how you could find it!

Situation:

A user has received an attachment with a virus on it. Somehow, it has gotten through. You know it's in your Domino environment, but where? Did it get sent on ? Who has it now?

This video illustrates how to utilize the Optimizer's DAOS search feature to discover it.

Want to know more ?

Get your full-text indexes under control in one step.

One of the fantastic new features of the Optimizer is its ability to reveal how your full-text indexes are created and their size.

We recently assisted a customer in an incredible upgrade, leaping from Domino 6.5 to 12.02 in one go (yes, how awesome is that?). The Optimizer quickly uncovered a major issue with their indexes.

They were larger than the underlying databases and were missing attachment filters!

Thanks to the Optimizer’s scheduled index rebuild feature, we swiftly sorted it out.

Smaller indexes, less work for the server and giving quicker results.

Imagine what the Optimizer might be able to do you ? Actually don't do that, instead get a free trial and find out.

How to find all documents affected by a missing or corrupt NLO file

In this example of our new DAOS Search feature, we're showing how you can use it to locate all documents affected by a missing or corrupt NLO file.

The NLO file in this example is 0C518B762B6572F96C7933F22297D1B36C0E29F80004DD66.NLO

The search detects that it's used in a single database, and it is attached to 99 documents. 

Now impacting 99 documents may be a concern, but by checking on the doclinks provided (which is not shown in this video), we could see that the actual attachment related to a personal project and had no business impact.

If the search showed the attachment had business value, the administrator might want to go to the effort of chasing up a backup or using the new DAOS repair feature of Domino 14 https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/14.0.0/admin/repairing_missing_daos_objects.html
