Microsoft's Active Directory team has started a new blog, talking about PowerShell and the new AD stuff coming with Windows Server 2008 R2. Check it out at http://blogs.msdn.com/adpowershell/

I saw Frink's post on formatting Date/Time and thought I'd throw this out. The -f format operator calls the .NET Format method on the System.String class. I know as Admins/non-coders seeing .NET leads to "but I'm not a programmer!". It can be helpful to dig through some of the documentation...

Microsoft has updated their processor and memory recommendations for E2K7, and the Exchange team has some posts about it at http://msexchangeteam.com/. I really recommend subscribing to that blog if you haven't already (and investigating the other Exchange blogs too).

In case you haven't seen it yet, Microsoft has posted a new Podcast about their Exchange 2007 infrastructure. How Microsoft IT Designs Its 64-bit Exchange Server 2007 Infrastructure http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4f24f81f-80f5-4bf0-b9c6-673f8e75b308&displaylang=en

Has anyone else seen this? We are attempting to create a linked table in an Access 2003 (SP 2) database pointing to a table in a SQL 2000 (SP 4) database. The connection uses a System DSN which is correct and validated. The Link Table wizard completes succesfully and creates the link. However...

We are attempting to create a kiosk-style machine using Group Policy. For the most part it works like we want, except that some icons we placed in All Users\Desktop do not appear on the desktop of users that log in. We have created an OU in AD, and placed the test machine in the OU. I have...

Out of 28 Windows 2000 Professional SP 4 PCs, I have one that will not install the SMS 2003 Advanced Client. The only error I can find in the log files is the following: Error 25140 Setup was unable to compile the file PolicyDefaults.mof. The error code is 8004100E As far as I've been able to...

We are having some freeze/lockup problems with some Windows 98 machines and the SMS 2003 Legacy Client. We've received the following reports from users: "We have had a couple of complaints this morning about computers that have been booted up for around 5 to 10 minutes and the monitor going to...

I had never even heard of this until we found it on a user's PC today. The Web site is http://www.escorcher.com/ For an antivirus company, it doesn't look good that the latest news on their front page is from November, 2002...

I think this is an XP problem, but it has us completely puzzled. Occasionally, after a user changes his/her password, later that day or the next day they will be prompted for their username/password when trying to access our Intranet. A little background: This problem has been happening for...

Having fairly simple needs for backup purposes, under Windows 2000 I use NTbackup to backup most of our servers. To have some control over the process I use it in a scheduled batch file. I use the /P switch to designate the tape pool to use, and the /UM switch to find the first available media...

We are attempting to move an old Platinum for DOS from a Novell 3.2 server to a Windows 2000 server. Client PCs are Windows XP, and successfully use Platinum from the Novell server. Drive mappings have been kept the same, and the users can start Platinum without a problem. However when they...
