Active Directory 5th Edition

by @ Wednesday, August 8th, 2012. Filed under tech

Not that I need anything else on my plate at the moment with all of the busy-ness of summer but the chapter drafts for Active Directory 5E has hit my inbox and I am told need to be reviewed by August 20th. So good news on the progress on AD5E, boo on its timing. 😉 […]

Go Amazon!

by @ Monday, July 23rd, 2012. Filed under general

When I pulled up Amazon today to go check on the price of something I saw the following announcement… Go Amazon, Go Bezos! I loved this, especially the bolded part… Logic based assistance… Who knew? So, for people who’ve been with us as little as three years, we’re offering to pre-pay 95% of the cost […]

Active Directory Wiki Part Deux

by @ Friday, July 13th, 2012. Filed under general

So previously (http://blog.joeware.net/2012/07/05/2540/) I mentioned the idea of an AD Wiki. I had quite a bit of feedback in the comments and offline through email on the idea with some strong points to use the Technet Wiki and some strong points on YES DO IT!

It’s not a question that someone is going to mess up in the GUI or not, it is a matter of how often, when, and how bad. The larger the organization, the more likely the answers to those questions will be answers you won’t like very much.   – Me in VMware vSphere 5 class […]

Active Directory Wiki?

by @ Thursday, July 5th, 2012. Filed under general

I went looking for something I knew existed previously and I’ll be darned if I could find it, took me a good 3 hours of looking to dig it up and it should have been 3 minutes… That got me to thinking, is there an Active Directory WIKI out there? I looked around and couldn’t […]

Interesting article on Software Engineers.
