Shoretel Director - Locked Out Until Full License Compliance Has Been Restored. Get Back In!

Suddenly Without Warning You Are Locked Out of Shoretel Director

You or your phone system administrator has made a change that violated your licensing, such as added softphones or granted some user Workgroup Supervisor roles. And 45 days went by and nobody noticed the red warning banner. Now you are locked out for good.  That's real cute, thanks guys. You need to call Shoretel TAC to unlock it. You may even need to call your "partner" Grrrr....  Unfortunately, the only fix is to add more licences to come into compliance again.  Furthermore, you may have to pay for another compliance token.  Fortunately, there IS another way to weasel your way back into Shoretel Director so you can comply with the licencing.  Our method of weaseling back in is to edit the MainFrame.asp front end director landing page.  First step is to use RDP to logon to the console of your HQ server.  In this excercise, we will show you how to do this with Shoretel 14.2 (build 19.82)  This method will work with Shoretel versions below 15.  With newer versions of Shoretel Connect and Mitel Connect, the method is similar but the ASP files are long gone, and you will have to edit the NGINX files instead. Come back later and we will figure that out too.
Locked Out of Shoretel Director

To unlock it, you need to find the shoretel director landing page html file.
Find and edit the landing page
Now you need to edit the MainFrame.asp code to comment out the locking section
Comment Out these lines and save the file
Edit the page and save the changes. Now open Director in Internet Explorer and you will find that you are able to make changes to the configuration again.

Once you are in compliance again, undo the changes to MainFrame.asp.

Update for Mitel Connect Versions 21.82, and 21.87 and Beyond

The next generation of Shoretel (21.82) and Mitel (21.87) Connect are completely new and re-engineered around a new NGINX and "Ruby on Rails" web framework.  The Ruby back-end code indicates the presence of many backdoor, testing and development hacks that were left behind.  In my opinion the entire web framework is a hack. It is a hacked-up mess of Ruby, mysql, and web technologies.  The license_helper.rb file is a particularly interesting ruby module that could be the key to unlocking locked up servers.

Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware

https://pete.akeo.ie/2011/06/extracting-and-using-modified-vmware.html Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware (updated 2016.05.17 for VMWare UEFI firmware extraction) One day or another, you may want to play with BIOS/UEFI firmware modification. But before jumping into physical motherboard flash alteration, where the consequences of a mishap can be difficult to salvage, experimenting with the BIOS/UEFI in a virtual environment sounds like a sound first step. You have of course the opportunity to do so using  bochs , however the ubiquitous nature and ease of use of the (freely available)  VMware Player  can turn the latter in a much better candidate for the job if you don't really care about the extra features that bochs brings in. This post details how one can extract the BIOS/UEFI firmwares used by the VMWare Player, and how to setup the player to use a modified one. Download and install VMware Player. The current version of VMwar...

Windows 11 internet/account bypass

https://github.com/the-P1neapple/WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass Overview This guide explains a method to bypass the Microsoft Account (MSA) requirement during the Windows 11 Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) by using the Developer Console to invoke a hidden local account setup screen. This method was discovered by examining the Windows 11 OOBE source code, which revealed an event listener for a hidden  _localAccountButton . Note A faster method has since been discovered using Command Prompt ( Source ), this repo was made 7 months prior to that discovery. The method I have documented is still the only known method for S-Mode installations. Following these steps, you can create a local account without needing to sign in with or create a Microsoft account. I also have a  Youtube Tutorial  that follows the same instructions below Steps to Bypass Microsoft Account Setup 1. Start Windows 11 Setup Begin the Windows 11 Setup Process. Select your region a...
