I just recently received the latest MSDN Magazine, June 2006. I like MSDN Mag, it is a cool mag. It tends to have at least one interesting article and keeps me fairly up to date with some things other folks are thinking or doing. I like Dr. Dobbs better because it seems more realistic, but […]

If you were at Dean and my presentation at DEC 2006 you will recall that we presented a possible Logo for ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) because it doesn’t appear to have one[1]. The logo I came up with was   Personally I think that is a great logo. However one of my friends from […]

A comment came in today about my admod post from yesterday that prompted a response that I thought was good enough to pull up to a full blog entry in its own right instead of responding in the comments… The question is from Fred and goes like this… So, Joe, which tools would you say you […]

I received a couple of offline responses to my last blog entry with the general question of “What is elegant and inelegant code?” Elegant code to me is beautiful/logical/intuitive/smooth code, inelegant code is “ugly” or rough code. Elegant code isn’t necessarily “pretty” but is a combination of several things that make it “right” and beautiful in its […]

I have moved AdMod into the garage for some updates, buff out some scratches, fill in some door dings, replace the cracked windshield, scrape the roadkill from the undercarriage… It is jacked up, the wheels are off, the fittings are being greased, the oil is being changed, the tranny fluid is being checked for that telling burnt […]

I am a light abuser of MSN Messenger. I have maybe 15 contacts on my IM list right now and most of those folks stay on the list because they are relatively quiet, I actually talk on a weekly basis to four people. I look at IM like I look at the phone, there are […]

So it was rather nippy here today so I thought I would work on some updates for AdMod that I have been putting off for some time. One of those updates involves allowing AdMod to do intra-forest cross domain moves, like, for instance, you want to move a group of contacts from one domain to […]

I am scanning through my directory looking around just to see if there is something I don’t recognize or maybe something I didn’t previously understand that all of a sudden I magically do understand. Don’t laugh this happens on a fairly regular basis. I pull up one of my new Vista machine account objects and […]

A friend sent me an email the other day that had this KB mentioned http://support.microsoft.com/?id=327270   SQL Server 2000 is not supported on Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server application server   It gives you info about the problem but doesn’t actually tell you why there is a problem at all. Why thanks for telling me how […]

More Vista 5365 news  So I couldn’t get sound on my HP DV8000 with the 64 bit version of Vista. There were no 64 bit drivers for the sound card and even the ones that were for other devices that theoretically should have worked didn’t. So I reloaded with the 32 bit version and while […]
