"The site collection containing this sand-boxed solution has exceeded its daily resource usage quota."

When trying to activate a sand-boxed solution, Got below error message:

"The site collection containing this sand-boxed solution has exceeded its daily resource usage quota."

Solution:  
This is because of the Sandbox solution resource limit. To fix this issue, just increase the site collection Sandbox solution resource quota in site collection quotas and locks.

Go to: Central Administration >> Application Management >> Configure quotas and locks >> Pick the target site collection.

Increased the Sandbox solution resource quota under "Limit maximum usage per day to:   0 points" to 100 points, Problem solved!

Don't need Fingerprint for some users - TCP Fingerprint Options

For users who don't require Fingerprint while using On-Screen Time Clock, we need to check the below option "Allow any clock operation if print is not on file (1:1 mode only)".

Open On-Screen Time Clock and go to 'Configure Modules'

Double Click on 'Secugen Hamster Module' to open the Secugen Configuration.

Check the option "Allow any clock operation if print is not on file (1:1 mode only)".

______________________________________________________________________________________

For users who don't require Fingerprint while using Physical or Wall mount Time Clock, we need to change the below option 'Skip Verification' to Yes under Cogent FP WinRemote Module.

This change is to be made on the Custom Tab of the Employee Profile (as shown below).

Awesome Free Tools

Sharepoint Permissions Manager

Functions

This works perfect on MOSS 2007 & SPS 2010 Servers.

This tool aims to bring together on one screen, most of management capabilities of permissions for an entire site: 
- Overall display permissions for groups on the Sharepoint libraries and website pages 
- Adding, modifying, deleting permissions with a few clicks without having to go through a lot of screens (using JQuery)
- Export as an Excel table permissions 
- Copy permissions between lists and pages

Planned on future version :
- Import / export permissions as XML (very useful in cases of misuse by the user) in order to quickly restore a configuration permissions

Once the Solution is deployed using the above tool, you can verify the Solutions in Central Admin >> System Settings >> Manage Farm Solutions
