PowerShell

“PowerShell is the COBOL of the scripting world. In that I mean as you type out what you need to do your fingers actually get tired.

Thank you Bill. :)

by @ Friday, June 27th, 2008. Filed under general

I don’t expect Bill Gates will ever see this blog post but with Bill’s retirement from full time Microsoft operations I just wanted to offer a very sincere and heart felt “thank you very much Bill”. Regardless of what anyone says of Bill or Microsoft, the face of computing is very different now than it […]

Was this Domain Controller a product of normal DCPromo or IFM DCPromo?

A friend of mine pinged me recently and asked … can you think of way of determining with certainty that a DC was IFM promoted or not based on its DIT (logs are say long since retired) I thought about this a moment,  furrowed my brow for another moment and then started down the path […]

Scripting / SysAdmin Meme

by @ Thursday, June 19th, 2008. Filed under general

Well Darren has effectively said “Tag, you’re it” for this Scripting/Sysadmin Meme that is going around. I kind of liken this to the emails that say send this to 7 of your friends immediately but since I am not actually forwarding it, you have to come to me to read it, I will play.   […]

Hilarious response…

by @ Thursday, June 19th, 2008. Filed under humour

I saw this on an email today and had to share as it cracked me right up… One very intelligent analyst I know was asked if a customer should be queried about the scope of a given project. His response was “They will ask us for a 2008 Lincoln Continental. We’re reasonably equipped to deliver […]
