When an Exchange 2010 mailbox server is installed it automatically recreates a default database. After you've created your own databases it makes sense to delete the default one. If you research this you'll see you need to move the hidden arbitration mailbox from the default database to another one, and then you can delete it. However, after deleting it you may start getting System Attendant errors or warnings in the event log. It is caused by the HomeMDB attribute of the System Attendant object no longer being valid, even though the System Attendant doesn't actually reside in any database.
Sometimes just restarting the System Attendant service with fix the issue as it will put a valid database path into the HomeMDB field. However, sometimes it doesn't. To fix it manually you need to open ADSIedit and drill down to Configuration > Services > Microsoft Exchange > [your site] > Administrative Groups > [your Exchange 2010 administrative group] > Databases. Select one your databases, view its properties, and copy the value for distinguishedName. Now expand Servers, expand your mailbox server(s), and select the properties for Microsoft System Attendant. Past the distinguishedName value into the HomeMDB attribute. Repeat for any other mailbox servers, and then restart the System Attendant service on the affected servers.

VMware Converter not starting
Sometimes when you try to start the VMware Converter in the vSphere Client it'll throw a fatal error and say there was a network connection failure. In this case just log onto the vCenter server and restart the VMware vCenter Converter Integrated Worker and VMware vCenter Converter Integrated Server services.

Citrix not deleting user profiles after log off
A very annoying problem with Citrix is when it doesn't delete a user's roaming profile from it's local storage when the user logs off. If you're running Citrix on VMware then there's a good chance the problem is caused either by "Shared Folders" being installed with VMware Tools or the VMwareUser.exe file is set to run on startup. Either of those can lock a profile when the system is trying to delete it.
