Let's Get Ready to Virtualize!
After many months, and a few miscellaneous upgrades to other parts of my network, I'm finally about to get a jump on my home virtualization overhaul project .  A number of things have changed from the original plan, however. Since that plan was presented Read More...
Still waiting for Vista SP1
It's always something.  On Sunday, I was pretty hyped up about the fact that Service Pack 1 for Vista was very near release , but that has been deflated by the realization that Microsoft is going to hold off on actually making the code available Read More...
The Great eMail Saga
Boy, do I have a tale to tell about messaging mayhem involving Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007, VPOP3 and several antispam products and services. Oh, and let's not forget about Public Folders... This is a long tale, and has been in the making for several Read More...
Home Network Virtualization Project, Part 2
When I wrote part 1 of the home network virtualization project , I didn't realize that I actually had an updated network diagram available . I created it last October, but never posted it -- for reasons which completely escape me right now. I suppose Read More...
Time For Virtualization at Home
Although I really need to upgrade my network diagram to reflect some major changes since 2006, it is effective enough to indicate the need for server virtualization even on a small network. I currently have 4 servers which are operational, and another Read More...
On Being A Technology Change Agent
  As I think about it, the title is probably misleading, because being a Technology Manager with change-agent responsibility is not the same as being a Technology Change Agent. In my particular case, I'm not looking to change the technology, necessarily.  Read More...
Can it be? Public Folder Replication Working?
Perhaps, just perhaps, I might have gotten my Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 public folder replication woes resolved. The appropriate routing queue is finally going down, but I have to ensure that it's not a matter of messages simply expiring from the Read More...
Good Ol' Microsoft Fun with Exchange 2007
So, I sort of completed the migration to Exchange 2007 that I had decided to do this weekend. Sort of. The mailbox moves were flawless. Total time for this part of the migration was about 15 minutes, with my mailbox being the longest at 6 minutes. Unfortunately Read More...
Migrating to Exchange 2007
I've had my Exchange 2007 server built for a couple of months now, but I hadn't taken the time to migrate any of the mailboxes or other resources from my older Exchange 2003 server. I'm going to try to get that all done this weekend. I just need to finish Read More...
Vista Upgrade Speed Bumps
In today's lesson, we learn why pre-planning is very important... So, I try to perform the dreaded in-place upgrade of my XP x64 laptop to Vista Ultimate x64, after doing all the nice things like backing everything up, and ensuring that all apps will Read More...
UPS cancels Airbus A380 order
And not only UPS, according to the report... " The cancellation by UPS, four months after rival FedEx Corp. also scrapped its 10-plane order, leaves Airbus with no orders for the superjumbo freighter — dealing a new blow to its A380 program, whose two-year Read More...
Windows Vista is finally here...
At the retail level, anyway. And I am no closer to having it installed at home than I was a month ago, when I laid out my grand plans for software upgrades . I have been heavily involved in a lot of projects lately, both at work and at church, so time Read More...
Microsoft and Novell: The Odd Couple
The tech news is all abuzz about the announcement that Microsoft and Novell are working together on product integration, including integration between Windows and Linux technologies. Several people have already commented that this is a strategic move Read More...
SysInternals Site Migration
Looks like the SysInternals Website is preparing for a Site Migration , having been acquired by Microsoft in mid 2006 . I can only hope that it retains the same level of usefulness that is has provided for a great many years at this point. This one site Read More...
A Cost-Effective Infrastructure Deployment Strategy
Over the past few days, I have seen at least two posts or articles on a subject I've been meaning to write about for quite some time, now. The first one I saw was by Rob Howard , and although it deals mostly with software development, it struck a chord Read More...
