PHP/Perl/SSL on the IU Webserver?

Does anyone have a script that will send an email to a non- @indiana.edu domain through our SSL-enabled smtp server (mail-relay.iu.edu)?  I’ve been wracking my brain, not to mention Google, for a solution.  It seems like the IU Webmaster left us all high and dry by not providing a perl or php module that will handle SSL.

Thanks,

Keith

Double entries in your Outlook 2007 Task Bar?

I was getting this for a while - every entry into Tasks was doubled in the To-Do bar.  Delete one, they both vanished.

The Solution: run Outlook once using the following: Outlook.exe /resettodobar

Software image/deployment

Has anyone used: (and are comfortable with)

Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK)

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007

Would you please contact me (aandroni@indiana.edu)?  I’m also on Office Communicator.

Thanks!

Alexis

Converting PDF to Multi-page TIFF

If you want to turn pdf files into multi-page tiff files (to feed through Odyssey or Ariel, for instance), you could either purchase an app to do it, or just download the programs GhostScript and GhostFriend.

Ghostscript is a command-line program with many useful functions. Ghost friend is a GUI for GhostScript. Together, they make image conversions a snap. Both programs are freeware.
