Update Trusted CA Certificates for Eclipse Tomcat Debugger on OS X

If you run the debugger in Eclipse, it will use the Java certificate store for verifying the chain of trust of certificates. I had a problem where the Eclipse debugger wouldn't connect to a server whose certificate was signed by my CA, even though OS X trusted the CA in Keychain. Turns out you have to add it to the cacerts file in the Java folder using command line. Check it: http://blog.alwold.com/2011/06/30/how-to-trust-a-certificate-in-java-on-mac-os-x/

Make your Windows domain controllers NTP servers

Thanks to the author! This works great on my Windows 2012 R2 servers for serving NTP to all the Cisco Collaboration / Contact Center components in the network.

Fix the Windows Time Service on domain controllers

Finally, a set of commands that fixes the time service on my Windows domain controllers:

Note that when you run the "net time /setsntp: " command, it will successfully clear the registry settings for the time service, but the console will print the command help text as though you had entered an incorrect command option.
