Random Thoughts to Close Out April 2008
I haven't posted in a few weeks, but not because I don't have anything to write -- it's because I haven't mastered the art of dividing my time across all needs and wants. Here are a few thoughts that hint of posts to come: I need to write about Strategy, Read More...
An interesting Windows Vista article
I just finished reading an article on Windows Vista from InfoWorld , and it makes several really good points. Windows Vista brings a lot to the table that gets de-emphasized by the masses.  It's funny that when Microsoft releases a product that is Read More...
Vista SP1
It has been officially available for a couple weeks now, but some of us have been running it for over a month at this point .  Of course, outside of the MSDN and TechNet avenues, the only way to get it was due to a Microsoft mistake . In any event, Read More...
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...
Random Notes on a Leap Day
I have a little bit of everything to share today. Professional Networking LinkedIn has performed quite a few upgrades in recent days, and they've upgraded their site quite a bit. It looks nice, I must say. I hope this is just the beginning of them implementing Read More...
Get your dose of Vista Service Pack 1
If you're a 64-bit Vista user, that is...  It looks as though the users of Vista x64 can obtain Service Pack 1 via Windows Update . I've already started down the MSDN path for obtaining the Service Pack , but that has presented its own set of issues.  Read More...
The List Server is back online
More precisely, the list mail server replacement is finally online .  My venerable 400Mhz Pentium 2 server is no longer providing any services on this network.  It has been replaced by an AMD Sempron 3400+ running Windows 2003 R2 x64. Just another Read More...
Mail Server repairs are ongoing
I posted an announcement over the weekend that my List Mail server had gone down .  I'm pretty sure that the power supply was all I needed to change, but due to a series of parts failures and upgrades over the past 4 or 5 months across various systems, Read More...
Letting Go Of Legacy Equipment
It took me long enough, but I'm finally cleaning out some old boxes of computer parts that I have laying around. Really old parts in really old boxes. My wife will be very pleased to see this stuff go, finally. She's been after me to do this for years. 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...
Exchange 2007 SP1 -- About time
Finally, Service Pack 1 for Exchange 2007 has been released. All 854MB of it. And not a moment too soon. I need to see if the Public Folder functionality (really, the Public Folder GUI) is finally available. Share Post: 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...
Community Server 2007 Upgrades
Last week, I took the time to upgrade my corporate intranet on the latest Community Server 2007 update . As with most CS upgrades, it was pretty quick and painless, and I must confess that the site runs a little bit faster than before. There are some Read More...
Windows Server 2008
Lately, I've been so busy with processes and procedures and policies, that I haven't had a chance to play with the upcoming version of Windows Server 2008 . I have had an opportunity to read a number of reports, including the one from eWeek , and it seems Read More...
Update Available for Community Server 2007
The update formerly known as Service Pack 3 for Community Server 2007 was released on September 18. It looks like this fix incorporates a bit more than a traditional service pack, hence the new naming convention, but Telligent still created an easy upgrade Read More...
