From the PC Mag Security Watch blog site... Microsoft has released a paper entitled " Windows Update Explained ". It talks about what Windows Update is and how it works. There are no big surprises here for those already fairly familiar with...
Microsoft held a big shindig today to announce new goodies for the "Get Virtualized" marketing campaign. Among the notable items was the announcement that Hyper-V Server 2008, a new bare metal hypervisor product (sans Windows Server 2008) will...
You may have heard this already, but on August 13, 2008, the Level 5 IT Guides will be opened up to allow everyone to view sessions which are normally reserved for paying subscribers. This will be done in two two-hour sessions, one in the morning and...
As I posted on my " other blog ", I've been immersed in an eight-day MCSA "boot camp" for Server 2003. I've passed two of the four exams so far, working on the remaining two. Long hours. I finally had a minute to download and...
The WSUS Team finally posted word that an update/hotfix is now available (KB954960) for public download to address the synchronization "issues" reported recently. The installation is a breeze. The download is actually a .cab file which contains...
After reading this post , I had to shake my head. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with the post itself , nor with what Shawn says. It's with the number stated by the NGC software survey of 368,000. I don't care about the mitigation...
According to Microsoft advisory 954960 , Microsoft is "investigating public reports" of a problem reported with WSUS 3.0 and something stopping the deployment of updates when there are clients in the environment installed with Office 2003. Anyone...
I'm really trying to be stupidly poetic for some unknown reason. Maybe because I'm really, really REALLY tired right now. Commuting an hour each way to work (2 hours on Fridays) at 44 years old is very taxing. Ok, on to the subject... Like many...
Ok, I'm dating myself horribly here. For anyone that figured out that tagline, great. I'll see you in the pudding line at the retirement home. For the rest of you: It was an old cartoon TV advertisement for Tootsie Roll Pops . Oh well. I shall...

As posted on several blogs, including those by Brian McCann and Jane Lewis , this update resolves issues with XP and WS03 clients when they are within scope of DC management for a site using an WS08 RODC. The MS Support article is interesting (and humorous...
Ulf puts this so well, that I really can't add anything better to it. Just read this blog post . Share this post:
Paul Thurrott has posted a fairly good review of the new packaging, licensing and pricing model Microsoft has put forth for the coming Windows Server Small Business Server 2008, and Windows Essential Business Server 2008 products. I admit, I had to read...
You know, what gets me is the dichotomy that exists with WS08. It's actually more about Microsoft than WS08 though. I absolutely LOVE WS08 as far as technical features go. It rocks. It's truly an amazing product. But, and there is a "but"...
That's right. Microsoft has announced that Windows XP Service Pack 3, and Office 2007 Service Pack 1 will be released to WSUS very soon (if not already). If you have a small operation and all your victims, oops, I mean "users, are located in...
A Dutch court recently ruled in favor of Microsoft in a case involving unauthorized use of a trademark name within a name used for both a product and a registered Internet domain. The company, Unicaresoft, has (had) a product and domain name in use for...
I've posted eleven (11) guide sessions so far for Windows Server 2008 on the BlogCastRepository Level 5 IT Guides site. The latest is focused on the new "Features" feature alone. I love saying that: features feature. Reminds me of Austin...
An Impression of Expression? I'm the lyrical Jesse James (sorry, a cheap throwback to an 80's rap song). I'm a PHP developer by trade and hobby and it's one of my absolute favorite passions when it comes to touching a computer. Microsoft...
Any of you that actually waste time reading my blog will be painfully aware of how f-ing impressed I am with Group Policy Preferences and the fact that it's FREE. Unlike SoftGrid, which is part of MDOP, and NOT free, GPPrefs are available for download...
Microsoft announced the release of the Microsoft Operations Framework 4.0 on TechNet. Check out the MOF Online Community also. As it says on their web site: Microsoft® Operations Framework (MOF) 4.0 delivers practical guidance for everyday IT practices...

Sounds funny, doesn't it? Us Windows folk just can't walk away from our GUI that easily. Stephen Bink posted a pretty good article on the Core GUI Configurator utility . Very cool stuff indeed. A funny conversation comes to mind about this: Last...
By now, Google should have beat everyone else to online storage, online group collaboration and online auctions. Heck. They already put the effort into Google Checkout. Why is Amazon running towards web stores to eat away at eBay (which I hate), but Google...
I've been a staple user of Linux for years. I've made many attempts at "switching" from Windows to it and had mixed results each time. I tried getting my kids to use it and had mixed results. My younger kids like it (Ubuntu mostly) because they could...
On your mark... Get ready... Get set... Explode! Very handy stuff here. Enjoy! Share this post:
