			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently came across NetWrix, a software company that specializes in system administration tools and utilities.  They seem to really have hit a niche that has been a pain point for many administrators over the years.  Whats even better is that NetWrix offers free versions of several of their products and not just limited evaluations either.</p>
<p><span id="more-349"></span>The tools that really caught my eye were their:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://netwrix.com/active_directory_change_reporting_freeware.html">Active Directory Change Reporter</a> &#8211; this tool is great for environments with multiple administrators or environments that have delegated administration.  You get to see the before/after value of exactly what was changed and exactly who changed it.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.netwrix.com/inactive_users_tracker_freeware.html">Inactive User Tracker</a> &#8211; I would bet that nearly every Active Directory environment must have dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of accounts that haven&#8217;t been used for long periods of time.  This tool can help to identify these accounts and can even take action to eliminate those open risks.</li>
<li><a href="http://netwrix.com/password_expiration_notifier_freeware.html">Password Expiration Notifer</a> &#8211; I actually wrote an application one time that would pull the last change time stamp from Active Directory and send out an email notification to a user.  This solution does exactly the same thing only without code!  Very handy for users that may never get to a Windows based system where a password reminder is available (VPN, custom LDAP, portal, etc.).</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This procedure comes in handy if you have forgotten the unlock/uninstall password for your installation of Trend Micro OfficeScan.  I have also had to use similar procedures for migration projects where it was desired to have a different AntiVirus installation upon migration.</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span></p>
<p>The password for the Trend Micro OfficeScan is stored in a file called Ofcscan.ini.  You could easily search your hard drive for this file but it is usually located in C:\WINDOWS or C:\Program Files\Trend.</p>
<p>Open the Ofcscan.ini file and locate the section labeled <strong>[INI_CLIENT_SECTION]</strong>.  Once you&#8217;ve gotten down to the appropriate section in the file, look for the <strong>Uninstall_Pwd=</strong> entry.  You will likely see a long string of characters that represent the password, simply change that to <strong>70</strong> so that your resulting entry will look something like:  <strong>Uninstall_Pwd=70</strong>.  Save the file and now you can resume your unlocking or uninstalling.  The new password that you&#8217;ve set will be <strong>1</strong>.</p>
