Cleaning up .DS_Store and .apdisk and other (._ files) on OSX CIFS and SMB

After stopping OS X from creating .DS_Store and .apdisk files on CIFS and SMB, here are the commands to clean up the files.

To see the hidden .DS_Store .apdisk and other (._files) use the following command:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

To clean up the use of .DS_Store and .apdisk files use the following commands:
sudo find /Volumes/CIFSVOLUME -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
sudo find /Volumes/CIFSVOLUME -name ".apdisk" -depth -exec rm {} \;

To clean up other (._files) use the following command:

dot_clean --keep=dotbar /Volumes/CIFSVOLUME

FAN noise and no TRIM after modifying iMAC and MacBookPro with SSDs.

Modified my iMAC and MBP with SSD drives on Yosemite 10.10.4:
- MBP with Intel Speed Demon.
- iMAC with Samsung 850 Evo.

Issues:
- MBP had TRIM disabled.
- iMAC had TRIM disabled
- iMAC fan was going fast.

Solution:
- Enable native OSX trim:
sudo trimforce enable

- Download software
SSD Fan Control

No need for custom software with Yosemite 10.10.4 and above.  TRIM can be enabled for non Apple SSD drives.

Lync Web Plug-in for OSX

After a fresh install of OS X Yosemite I needed to install the Lync Web Plug-in for MAC.  After downloading LWAPluginInstaller.pkg the install came up with the following error:

"You cannot install Microsoft Lync Web App Plug-in in this location.  The Microsoft Lync Web App Plug-in installer does not allow its software to be installed here."

Click on the "Install for me only" selection again and the error goes away.
