Michael Kleef over at the Group Policy Team blog posted word that they are near completion on a new utility for migrating PolicyMaker Preferences into WS08 Group Policy Preferences. This will obviously benefit those that were using the product suite prior...
I've been waiting to see if this would happen. Like most of my petty wishlist idealisms, I figured it was too trivial to be considered. However, reading the latest post on the WSUS Team Blog by Cecilia made me feel like it was Christmas morning again...
Ok, so I was thinking about my anecdotal ranting in my previous posting (about Windows Server 2008 reliability). Stupid me. I forgot about the nifty-cool "Reliability and Performance Monitoring" feature in WS08 (and in Vista also). If you haven't...
There's a lot of cool stuff going with Windows Home Server (WHS) lately. Especially now that PP1 has been out for a while and added some fixes and improvements. This short blog post by Paul Thurrott is but one example of the coolness WHS provides...
Have you heard someone around you say something like "I would really like to play with Windows Server 2008, but I can't afford it"? Or maybe "I would like to play with WS08 but I don't have a *server* laying around to try it on...
I think I blogged about this way back when WS08 was being released, but here it is "again": A download ( 32-bit , or 64-bit ) which adds the role Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP1. This was actually something that was available during...
Ok, not really a "survival kit" in the traditional sense. I don't have a magic download widget like CoreConfigurator or anything. This is actually more like an emergency list. You know, like if you live in areas where you need to keep a...
So, I couldn't resist this post on Daniel Petri's web site describing how to install VMware Tools "additions" (chuckle) inside a Windows Server 2008 Core Edition guest machine. The thing that caught my attention was the caveate notes...
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...
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...
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...
Planning and Deploying WS08 RODCs Windows SBS 2008 Help SCDP 2007 Feature Pack for WS08, SQL 2008, more WS08 Active Directory Features Overview Share this post:
How to install SC Data Protection Manager on Windows Server 2008 Multi Site Failover Clustering Connectivity and Windows Server 2008 Windows User Profile Policies on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Share this post:
I was asked by a few readers (I can't believe I have a "few", I thought it was just "one") about how to setup the notification I mentioned. It's very easy but depends on what operating system is used. If you're on WS08...
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...
It's very nice that the Server Core folks took the time to package up a few WSF script files to help with CLI management tasks. Very nice. However, I'm really confused why they got to the 1 yard line and decided to not score a touchdown. Case...
While this is not "new" by any means, it is very nice regardless. This post is broken into separate pages which you must click through using the drop-down form list to navigate. If you are planning to run WS08 Server Core, or already are running...
Ulf puts this so well, that I really can't add anything better to it. Just read this blog post . Share this post:
I don't think so, but I'm sure that after being with anything long enough you'll find something to complain about. The trick is keeping it in perspective. Same goes with marriage. I'm going to be hitched twenty years this October. I'm...
Ned Pyle posted a "unsupported" fix , on the Directory Services Team Blog, for a problem many are having after installing RSAT on a Vista machine. The problem results in missing tabs on the ADUC (Active Directory Users and Computers) dialog...
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...
Microsoft posted a document on their Download site which provides guidance for migrating WSUS to Windows Essential Business Server. WEBS is the latest addition to the WS08 server line, and basically (or essentially?) positons it between SBS and Standard...
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"...
I just finished a grueling recording session at 2:00 AM focusing on nothing but what Windows Server 2008 provides in the way of monitoring and diagnostics tools. This is by no means exhaustive, since Microsoft usually releases plenty of out-of-band goodies...
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...
