For those of you who follow my adventures here, but not necessarily my adventures over there, you should be aware that we’ve posted NO CARRIER Episode #11. This episode is very special to my heart because it’s the first show we did in our new studio (Whitey is still over Skype though). I think the [...]

One of the industry buzzwords that needs to go to the grave is the user “experience.”
Don’t quote me here, but I recall this buzzword being developed by Microsoft as part of the marketing campaign behind Windows XP. XP was supposed to be “experience” or “expert” or “Xtra stuPid marketing,” I’m [...]

Are you curious about the hard stats of messages running around your organization?
Try this one in powershell on your hub transport server:
get-messagetrackinglog -start “mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss” -end “mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss” -eventid “send” -resultsize 9999999 | measure-object

At WWDC 2009, I stood up in a session on Snow Leopard server and lightly rattled Apple’s cage about its poor scaling guidance for the product. They were spending a great deal of time talking about the benefits of Wiki Server 2, but there was little to take away from the session [...]

Paul Thurrott posted a nice attaboy to the MSN folks today for releasing a wallpaper product that will check Microsoft for updates to your operating system.
Get ready folks, I’m about to show my ass again.
Are you KIDDING ME? Paul Thurrott has obviously never had to manage a network beyond his own house. Microsoft [...]
Just in case you’re ever wondering what can make a Mac user so annoyingly smug… as a relatively new Mac user (2+ years), I received the following message on Skype.
It’s an amazing feeling, that smugness. Even as a Windoze user I’d laugh this off, but still.

Last week I had to do some serious debugging on storage copy replication. We discovered that one of our SCC clusters had decided to quit replicating to the SCR node at the other site. We’re not sure why (we think it’s because the SCR node was rebooted and replication was not cleanly suspended), but the [...]

I’m all about negativity today. Sorry.
Anyway, I’ve had something nagging at me for a while now and I think I’ve just figured it out. Powershell is Microsoft’s answer to having a dumb command line through the Win95 – Win2003 years and it’s quite powerful, as the name implies. Microsoft likes it so [...]
One item you’ve probably learned by now if you’re an Exchange admin working on a 2007 deployment is that Microsoft has changed the behavior of the recipient update policy. Most of you won’t care about this and that’s just fine. You shouldn’t. I would dare say that if your Exchange environment is engineered well and [...]
