HOW TO enable remote desktop remotely
One of the annoying situations is when you know that the Windows is up and running but you cannot make a remote desktop connection because it is disabled by default.I have been doing a project recently and was into the same situation untill i found a backdoor method to enable remote desktop via registry.
- Open your local machines registry by using regedit command in run.
- Click on File > Select Connect Network Registry.
- In the Select Computer tab put the name of the server or workstation you wish to connect or search in the network by selecting advanced tab.
- In the remote machines register goto > HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server.
- After you select the Terminal Server key on the right pane you’ll find a REG_DWORD value named fDenyTSConnection. Double click on fDenyTSConnection value to open the Edit DWORD Value box and change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled).
- Close the registry
- Restart the remote machine by using shutdown -m \\servername -r command.
- Now you are ready to make a remote connection.

Straight-Line method
Declining Balance method: Written Down Value method, Double Decling Balance method
Straight-Line method: It is the most common method of determine amounts to be charged to depreciation.
Cost + Erection charges - Scrap Value = Annual Depreciation
Assets Life number of years
Rate of Depreciaton= Annual Depreciation x 100
Cost of Asset + Erection Charges - Scrap Value
If a Vehicle purchased at $5,000, estimated life of vehicle is 5 years and scrap value $ 300
5000 - 300 = 4,700 when devided by vehicles estimated life i.e., 5 years then the amount to be charged to depreciation each years is $940.

Using Fiber to Copper Voice Transceivers in RightFax 9.0
if you are wondering what fiber to copper voice transceivers has to do with RightFax, let me quickly clear it up. Due to distance constrains with UTP/STP cable between PABX and the Brooktrout E1 card, Fiber Optic cable has to be used for the connectivity. However as the Brooktrout E1 Fax card does not have a fiber outlet Special Voice transceivers has to be used to convert the fiber optic cable signaling to UTP.
Distance more then 200-300 meters is usually considered as the max distance between for a UTP/STP. If you are troubleshooting E1 connectivity on the RightFax server with the brooktrout card and PABX setting fine, verify the distance between the RightFax server and PABX and if it is more then the above distance then you can use the above solution.

HOW TO broadcast fax in RightFax using mail merge
You can set up a Mail Merge when you choose to send out a broadcast fax. This mail merge process will need to utilize embedded codes to provide addressing information for your fax recipients. The benefits of a mail merge are that each individual fax can be personalized or customized to fit the recipient, in addition to or in place of a personalized cover sheet. Instead of sending 500 faxes where the coversheet is personalized but the body of the document is the same for all faxes (by using a library document or other attached file), the merge process will provide the body of each fax with contact information specific to each recipient. For example, imagine the faxes being addressed to each recipient such as “Dear Jalal” or “Dear Khan,” as opposed to each fax simply saying” Dear Valued Customer.” The drawback to using a mail merge is that each individual fax page must be converted from its native format to a .tif image, which requires the attention of the processor on the server.
You can reference the RightFax User’s Guide for assistance on properly setting up the Mail Merge Fields in your document. See the section entitled “Phonebooks and Broadcast Faxing.”
