Why you should take a USB hub on holiday

Firstly, I have to admit that this idea wasn't originally mine, however I'm happy to share this with you.

So I'm sure you're like me when you go on holiday, you end up taking multiple gadgets with you. Now most of these devices can be charged by the USB port on a computer. Unlike some of you, I don't like taking a laptop with me wherever I go, so to cut down on the number of bulky chargers, take a powered USB hub and plug your devices into that. It's as easy as that. This works really well in foreign countries where you might only have one converter.

This works with some blackberries, but doesn't work with an IPod Nano. I bought one of these from eBuyer as it has 7 ports http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130519.

Cannot remove the domain '' because it is referenced by the proxy address template 'smtp:@'

I had this issue on my Exchange server when I realised that my server was incorrectly configured for a few email domains.

Luckily this fixed my issue.

Basically use ADSI edit to delete the offending address from the disabledGatewayProxy attribute.
