You know it. Gotta finish that off, then go upstairs and sit with the wife for a couple of hours, play with the cats for a bit then back down here to finish off a project submission for a SAN upgrade. The giggles never stop.

I have not done any IT practices or studies in a while. The only IT work I do at the moment is for work and fixing my other halfs computer. I was looking into setting up VMware though. Have to get that server first!!

 

Updates finished time to start cloning!

Im currently not 100% sure what to do after 70-284 and ITIL v3 Foundation. Next job will determine that one, but i would like to complete the MCSE!!! Although i must admit security and/or Virtualisation keeps popping into my mind!

edit: ooo major update!!!!! My light in my room current just blew 3 of the 6 bulbs in it... Mother F*

Zeb you must run on caffeine all week!

 

Ooooooh

To quote the immortal BrickTop:

You are skating on thin ice, my pedigree chum; and I shall be under it when it breaks

 

I'm deploying an array of 2008 TS servers and a TS Gateway on my work lab for a demo we are doing soon
as well as some App-V services

Also doodling an AD/E-directory federation plan so that all the school districts in the state talk to the state Department of Education whenever account changes are made rather than duplicating effort, an interesting challenge to say the least

Updating to vCenter 2.5u4 so we finally have 2k8 deployment support
been using WIM2VHD then converting it to VMDK up until now

 

Isolating Windows Server 2003 and Vista so the NSA backdoors Microsoft put in can't do any (more) harm. Luckily Mandriva Powerpack comes with Sun VirtualBox so it's really easy... easier than installing VMWare actually, and it works fine with all AMD X2 processors too, unlike Hyper-V.

I guess this would be an update... Today I am starting to migrate our current RightFax 8.7 server to 9.3 which is going to be the new SQL based server. The pervious version used it's proprietary database. So far I got the server up and running, imported the DB into SQL and now waiting to do some test. Hopefully everything goes ok!!

 

In between studying for Network+ - I am trying to work around the few issues I have that stop me from migrating my work laptop to linux (openSUSE 11.1) permanently.

I unfortunately have to run IE7 due our back office system and haven't yet found a satisfactory way of doing it.

Although last night I finished setting up a living room PC for arcade/retro console fun on the telly

 

I am having a rest from studying for a while. Anyway I have a server to help build and I am attempting to cable up some switches without any help from IT. Just my crappy notes with what goes where references.

 

Reading about PowerShell.

 

I'll be going home in about 20 minutes- back to my N+ studies
After that I might do a little shopping, I've been considering buying a new graphics card, and an external hard drive for when I eventually rebuild my system.

 

Im currenty doing Chapter 2 Lesson 2 of the 70-284 book. Will need to add an additional virtual drive to two of my VMs.

 

Absolutely nothing unfortunately - I haven't even had time to read the forums for about 6 weeks - I'm well stuck into 2 OU courses and its pretty full on.

But, on the way home on the tube today, I did read my notes for Net+ - 2007 objectives, so I'd better do it before June. Well done to GBL on passing mate!

 

Oooo, power shell, thats on my list. Which book are you reading? I was thinking about learning VBscript for windows admin but thinking it probably makes more sense to learn power shell.

Any recommendations on where to start, I didn't see any power shell for dummies/idiots/ the quite slow last time I had a browse on amazon.

 

Study, Tonight it will be group policy (again)

 

Tonight:

Finish the intial Sync of WSUS on server02 and kiss goodbye to being able to use my internet connection tonight!

Finish off chapter 2 of the mspress 70-284 book and the reinstall Exchange 2003. Hopefully i can get lesson 1 of chapter 3 out the way as well to get me going!

 

Just seen this.

well, there was quite a lot about it on a course I went on recently for Exchange server 2k7...so it was mostly reading up on the notes that I made on PowerShell that were specific to that...and there is also stuff on Technet.
As for books, please let me know if you find anything good as I would love to purchase a decent one!

Good luck!
