Restoring entire SQL Database from file

One night I had to restore my entire SQL database server from a SQL file, but it took me a while to find how to restore this file without restoring specific databases.

Below are the commands for Linux.

If you have shell (command-line) access, use MySQL to import the files directly. You can do this by issuing the "source" command:
$su -
Password:
# mysql -u -p source
Once you have entered the password to your MySQL username, the restoration process will soon begin.

Office 365 ScanPST to fix corrupted Outlook files

Image
In Office 365, which uses the Click-to-Run technology, Office program files are now in a new location.


When you experience issues with Outlook, often you would use the ScanPST.exe tool to repair PST and OST files with Outlook.

This tool can now be found in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\ScanPST.exe
This should apply for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations of Office 365.

Update:

 Microsoft has published a Knowledge Base article list the locations of the ScanPST utility depending on your installation of Office 365. Whether you're using 32 or 64 bit versions.

For a long time now, I have been using trials to test new technologies at home that I can use for my work like every good tech does. With the introduction of Office 365, more and more I need to be able to test the clouds services for different scenarios. However, I like to completely remove any services that I am finished with an no longer need as a end-of-the-day clean up task.
So how do you do this with Office 365?
By default, once the trial subscription expires the tenant will remain active allowing you a chance to purchase a new subscription and assign to your tenant. In this case I know I will never need the tenant again.
So this is what I have found to decommission a Office 365 trial tenant using Azure Active Directory.
WARNING!
Please triple check that you are doing this on the correct tenant. This deletion is unrecoverable. You do this at your own risk.
