I'm sure this isn't going to teach a lot of people anything new, but given I just noticed it myself, I think it's worth mentioning just in case. Due to my recent change of laptop, and the fact that my new laptop doesn't run Windows Server 2003 (actually...

I have to share this one with you - in around three weeks time, there's a series of webcasts on Exchange 12 running over 4 days. The better news is (I'm guessing for US attendees only though) is that if you attend all four webcasts (can be viewed on demand...

Just thought it was worth mentioning this - another "R2" joins the fold, hot on the heals of Virtual Server 2005 R2 and Windows Server 2003 R2. This time it's SMS which gets a refresh. SMS isn't really a product I can hold my hand up and say I know well...

I saw this on Eileens blog a week or so back and thought it was a pretty cool idea. Obviously I have no affiliation with ClustrMaps but thought it was a great way of visualising who in the world is reading my blog and example of (IMHO) what could be considered...

I was having a few emails back-and-forth yesterday as someone was struggling with VSMT (now part of ADS as of version 1.1) installed on one 64-bit host, with Virtual Server 2005 R2 64-bit edition running on a seperate Windows Server 2003 x64 host. A couple...

One other webcast also spotted this morning - this one should be really good. WMI is an incredibly powerful tool for an IT Professional to have available. However, it's often (IMHO) cumbersome to script against and (again IMHO) somewhat difficult to grasp...

OK, so it's early days yet and anything can change, so this is absolutely not the final word, but several months ago when playing with early Windows Vista builds, I was encouraged that fast user switching on domain-joined Windows Vista machines with Media...

There's often those situations where you need to clear read-only attributes from a directory tree in bulk. In the past, having been a command line junkie and developer, I've used the attrib command with the /S parameter to include sub-directories as I...

Hopefully you're aware of some of the great changes brought about in Windows Server 2003 R2 to address some of the branch office challenges - my personal favourite has to be the DFS-N & DFS-R changes and the use of RDC to make effective use of bandwidth...

Well actually, what's in 0.00292969 of a gigabyte to be a little bit more precise (aka 3MB). As you probably guessed, it's Virtual PC/Virtual Server trivia time, but Ben's blog entry from Monday made me sit up an think - is the maximum IDE-connectable...

So I can't admit to having written this, but I thought it was worth sharing. It's also a good example of how to use WMI to find out if a process is running, start new processes up and kill of running processes from VBScript. Save the below as a .VBS file...
