How to recover hard-deleted items in Outlook 2003, Exchange 2003

You probably know that you can recover deleted items in Outlook, by selecting "Recover Deleted Items" in the menu. But there is also an another method that can be useful sometimes. If the message was deleted by Shift-Del (so called hard delete) or it was recalled then there is no copy of it neither in the Deleted items nor in Recover deleted items. However, each folder (Inbox as example) has it's own deleted basket. To access it you can use OWA: https://server_name/exchange/user.name/inbox/?cmd=showdeleted

How Microsoft calculates Processor license for multi-core processors

For Microsoft software with processor limits, each processor counts as a single processor regardless of the number of cores and/or threads that the processor contains.

For software licensed on a per-processor basis, each processor counts as a single processor, regardless of the number of cores and/or threads that the processor contains.
