My way in life

Today I had my mid year appraisal with my boss. Guess what? I’m doing OK. I need to get 4 products certification by December.  I was asked to list down the exam that I’m interested. I simply said :

1. IBM Tivoli Netcool (Omnibus)
2. IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere
3. IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business
4. IBM Tivoli Netcool (Impact)

I doubt I can pass easily on the certification exam but by hook or by crook I need to get it or my appraisal won’t be as good as last year. Let hope I can attend Tivoli Technical Workshop in Manila this coming October.

I miss Siteminder sob sob …

Finally I managed to get my vpn to work with maxis broadband. I managed to to download email, view intranet site  and login to sametime.

I’m gonna keep using it as I’m able to get connected almost everywhere (within the coverage area of coz) … No more asking customer for their proxy password to get access to the net (some cust.)

As per request of Jade, here some quick fix for your problem. If I’m not mistaken she got this problem quite a number of times.

Symptom :

The following error message is displayed when you try to run Registry Editor (regedit.exe) in Windows XP.

On standalone Windows XP, perform the steps below to remove the registry editing restrictions.

Method 1: Using the REG.EXE console tool

1. Click Start, Run and type this command:

You should be able to launch the Registry Editor.

Method 2: Using the Group Policy Editor (Windows XP Professional only)

• Click Start, Run and type gpedit.msc and press ENTER
• Go to the following location: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
• Double-click Prevent access to registry editing tools and set it to Not Configured
• 
• Exit the Group Policy Editor

Note: If the setting already reads Not Configured, set it to Enabled, and click Apply. Then revert it back to Not Configured. This ensures that the DisableRegistryTools registry value is removed successfully.

Important : Steps listed in this article will help you unblock the Registry Editor, but that does not remove the Virus (if any) from your system.
