Take a look at this article: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/sharepoint/Watch-Out-for-Unmanaged-Accounts.aspx Apparently, MS didn’t make every account managed.

While working on a Sharepoint css file, I was able to use a nift regex instead of copying and pasting all over the place. The tag I had looked like this: #MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ4 td h3 a I wanted to add a tag on the end so that it looked like this: #MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ4 td h3 a, #MSOZoneCell_WebPartWPQ5 [...]
