Learning something new… Auth restoring a user to original domain after being moved to a different domain.

by @ Thursday, September 28th, 2006. Filed under tech

I don’t do a whole lot of playing with AD Backup/Restore ops and authoritative restores, I am a big fan of building systems such that they don’t allow people to delete objects accidentally in the first place. However, I have been working on a project that has as a portion of the work some user […]

Space Progress…. Wish it was in the USA.

by @ Thursday, September 28th, 2006. Filed under general

This is a great news story.
