This post picks up where the last post left off. In the last post, we created a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Domain Controller and stopped short of going on to add Certificate Services into the mix.
If you’re not sure if you need certificate services for your environment, it never hurts to have it [...]

By extending your web applications, you can have separate authentication providers utilized to reach the same information using Forms Based Authentication (FBA). FBA is usually associated with a custom SQL server database, or [...]
So after following a link from a buddy’s blog, Bobby Shea, I started browsing around /n software’s web site. I filled out the form for a free Windows PowerShell Sticker, again – yes, they didn’t send it months ago the first time I tried, and I found something else interesting on their site.
