Those of you who use Microsoft's Outlook Web App for work or school have probably come across something extremely annoying when attempting to access your email on your Chrome browser or on your  Chromebook : Microsoft forces you to use the light version, even though your browser is perfectly capable of accessing the full version. What's even more annoying is that the light version is extremely handicapped in comparison to the full version: there are a ton of options that you simply can't access (like inbox rules, for example), and your corporate address book is much more cumbersome to go through. Call it an innocent mistake on Microsoft's part. Call it an evil attempt to try to get you to use only Microsoft products. But whatever it is, it's extremely annoying.

Next, go to your list of extensions (available...

How can we manage this? Cause The Workload Management (WLM) was introduced in Information Server version 9.1 This tool provides the capability to manage and control the order and priority given to parallel and server jobs Answer For more information on managing the WLM please read through the documentation regarding setting up the queues. The main reason why jobs won't run when WLM is enabled is because the criteria defined is not met. Open the operations console and review the following criteria for the Queue if any of them are red, then you will either need to adjust the thresholds or address the cause. Maximum running jobs CPU Usage Memory Usage Job Start If however, this feature does not appeal to you. simply modify...
