Information about joeware mixed with wild and crazy opinions...
On this day in 2000, the U.S. went to the polls to choose between George W. Bush and Al Gore. The outcome wouldn’t be known for more than a month because of disputed votes in Florida. We all learned far more about hanging chads and alleged corruption in Broward County than we wanted.
But on the positive side… On this day in 1929, The Museum of Modern Art in New York City opened its doors to the public. We all need art in our lives.
Teacher Claims Fingerprinting Is ‘Mark of the Beast’
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/11/mark-of-the-beast/
A 22-year veteran kindergarten teacher in the Texas Bible Belt could lose her job for refusing, on religious grounds, to give fingerprints under a state law requiring them.
At least it isn’t a science teacher…
Happy 40th Anniversary to Sesame Street. 🙂
This notification brought to you by the letter D,the number 7 and Google[1].

[1] Google because they are so cool that they change the logo on their page to celebrate various dates and other things and I NEVER would have known Sesame Street was celebrating 40 years unless I saw that…
Buy this car for me…

It brings tears to my eyes… I don’t have the money for gas for it… but I would just park it in the garage and gaze at it. 🙂

I occasionally get asked if there are any ListServs like the ActiveDir Org list for AD. I have to respond that I don’t know and in great part don’t care as I don’t work much with Exchange anymore. However one of the Exchange MVPs tends to respond to these requests for lists on the AD Org Site. Here is one of his not so recent notes listing some of the resources for Exchange. Maybe Michael B. Smith can be convinced to put up a page on his blog that lists the current Exchange lists?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchnage discussion groupAs far as I know, Joe doesn’t read any of them 🙂 and you’ve already got at least a couple of Exchange MVPs here.
Here are the posting addresses for the ones I peruse.
The MSExchange.org list: exchangelist@webelists.com
The Sunbelt Exchange list: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com
A Yahoo Exchange 2000 list: exchange2000@yahoogroups.com
A Yahoo Exchange 2003 list: exchange-2003@yahoogroups.com
The Swynk list: exchange@intm-dl.sparklist.com
A MSN Exchange 2003 list: exchange-2003@groups.msn.com
And finally, there is one run by TechTarget, but I can’t find that email address right this moment. Very low volume.
Microsofties can occaisionally be found in all of the above, but none are as involved as the folks you see here.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchnage discussion groupCan you tell me some good exchange discussion groups ?
Thanks
Got this from one of my friends… Cracked me up[1]. 🙂
Now we need one with the FreeBSD Devil too… And not sure how to represent Apple in a costume but that would be funny too. Maybe a big white apple with a I’M A PC bumper sticker on the butt?

[1] Note I am not an OS bigot. Mostly I work with Windows but I have worked on so many OSes (Operating Systems) and RTSes (Run Time Systems) in the last 25 years that at this point it doesn’t matter – I can figure out what I need to do on pretty much anything though I admit I do prefer Windows Servers. This makes me laugh because media blitz that Apple started with the whole thing.
I usually get 3-4 emails a month with this problem… Hey joe, where you going with that gun in your hand… err no… Hey joe, how come I get this error when running against such and such an object or user or whatever??
The reason I have found about 97 times out of 100 is that the person doesn’t have the Exchange 2000/2003 toolset loaded on the machine that they are running the command from. This tool absolutely requires the CDOEXM stuff that is in that toolset. You don’t have it loaded, it isn’t going to work. I was going to make a version that didn’t need it but the Exchange people seemed to be adverse to anyone touching AD except them and made sure there were things you couldn’t do in the directory and had to use the tools for so you had no choice.
Of the remaining three, two of the emails will be due to someone trying to mail enable something that can’t be mail enabled… Like an OU for example.
The last of the emails will be something that I have no clue is wrong but when the people move to a different machine or reload the Exchange “stuff” it all magically starts working again.

Very cool tool that watches what you do and records images and any comments you make along the way. Could see all sorts of uses for this. Just plain documentation of the steps to do something alone is awesome for any of us who have had to write step by step documentation on how to process some task and take screen shots, etc along the way.
