Some firewalls now have a new feature (or not so new), unbeknownst to most web users: The little lock in your browser that shows that you are using a secure connection is not what it used to be.
When you make a secure connection to a web site, your bank for example, and you see the [...]
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 [...]
I posted a tutorial on creating a domain controller using Windows Server 2003, and decided to post an update that included step-by-step instructions for Windows Server 2008 R2. This should be the same for Windows Server 2008.
This is great for developers, testers, and anyone looking to learn Active Directory or deploy to a small network. [...]
A few weeks ago, I installed Vyatta Open Source as a router internal to my network to see how it handled traffic between multiple subnets. To put it plainly, it worked like a champ! I put the router in place, assigned IP addresses to the NICs (network interface cards), and let the system do its [...]

If you’ve come across this error, and turned <customErrors /> off in your MOSS site’s web.config and it still occurs, you may [...]
Bobby Shea has written a great blog entry on using your iPhone to RDP (remote desktop) into servers and workstations on your network using VPN, an iPhone, and an expensive but well worth it iPhone application called PocketCloud by WYSE (about $30.00 unless you catch it on sale).
This is an incredible solution to accessing resources. [...]
In my last post, we created a VM (Virtual Machine) using VMware Workstation 6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2. If you’re getting started here with a VM of your own, or physical hardware, the current status of the VM for this tutorial is a standard Windows Server 2003 R2 installation, with all recommended updates / [...]

If you’re using CKS EBE and have a solution to this, please feel free to let me know.
The automatic detection of blogs that post to your site is a pretty nice feature of CKS EBE, however, from what I see, there is no error checking. So if sites point to yours, you’ll eventually detect it [...]
