Are you testing Longhorn (aka Windows Server 2008) RODCs?

by @ Saturday, June 9th, 2007. Filed under tech

Then consider trying this following command (all one line) and testing how everything works. If you find something bad that happens in Windows, let me know so I can feed that info back to the people who need to know. adfind -schema -f objectcategory=attributeschema searchflags -adcsv | admod -unsafe searchflags::{{.:SET:512}} -cont I have done this […]

Network/Logon/Weird Issues or Slowness after installing Windows Server 2003 SP2?

by @ Thursday, June 7th, 2007. Filed under tech

Then check out this KB article, seems like this is hitting quite a few folks who are deploying SP2. Could be older network drivers, could be firewall type software, could be other advanced network software.   You cannot host TCP connections when Receive Side Scaling is enabled in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 […]

Another book recommendation

by @ Thursday, June 7th, 2007. Filed under general, tech

I have been fielding a lot of questions on what books people should be reading for PKI and Cert Authority stuff for Microsoft infrastructures lately for some reason… So I added a new book recommendation to http://www.joeware.net/books/index.htm Specifically I added Microsoft Windows Server 2003 PKI and Certificate Authority by Brian Komar.     joe Rating 3.00 […]

wang2.jfif and slow link detection

by @ Tuesday, June 5th, 2007. Filed under tech

There was discussion over on one of the forums I hang out at, ActiveDir.Org, about someone at TechEd mentioning that the slow link detection “ping” was sending a JPG image file to determine network speeds. There was much debate about whether this was crazy, whether the speaker was smoking the funny stuff, whether it was […]

Know anything about MSMQ?

by @ Tuesday, June 5th, 2007. Filed under tech

I need to be able to ascertain what clients are hitting a particular domain controller and asking for MSMQ resources. Preferably this can be done easily and without having to go all the way down to the level of a network trace. I would also like to know the client versions that are hitting the […]

NASA and Global Warming

by @ Sunday, June 3rd, 2007. Filed under general

You probably heard this by now but the NASA chief made some comments about Global Warming that have people up in arms. http://www.npr.org/blogs/news/2007/05/nasa_chief_questions_need_to_a_1.html While I think we have some issues with our climate, I think the NASA chief makes some good points but more importantly, I don’t think this is NASA’s fight. NASA didn’t cause […]

by @ Friday, June 1st, 2007. Filed under general

Oh my gosh, you have seen the number of blog posts since installing this new version… So I have been using it like crazy, but my gods is it slow. I am SO sick of it pegging my CPU for 20,30,40 seconds at a time and not allowing me to do anything in it or anything […]

Admin Limit Exceeded and DeleteObject(0)

by @ Friday, June 1st, 2007. Filed under tech

I learned something new this week that caught me by surprise, I guess it shouldn’t have but I don’t recall seeing the documentation before so was shocked when someone asked me about it. So I get this email from a reader of AD3E, not unlike many emails I get every day only it isn’t something […]

Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed

by @ Friday, June 1st, 2007. Filed under general

I recently watched the show in the subject on the History channel. I found it to be quite interesting but I also found myself asking all through it as the “analysts” told you what George was doing the whole time… Did George Lucas really think of the myths of the Greeks, Romans, and the Babylonians as […]
