Just about a year ago I started messing around with the MDT 2008. I found it to be rather slick, despite the glaring crashes that happen frequently. Since then, MDT 2010 was released, and still it crashes. However, despite the rough edges, the results are very, very impressive. I haven’t […]
Below is a copy of the source to a C# App that connects to a domain and creates a nickname for every user in the CSV. This code can be easily modified (and was in our case) to set the LDAP Authentication field in Groupwise to enable authentication via services […]
We recently wrote a utility using the Groupwise Administrative Object API to programmatically populate the LDAP Authentication field. This field is what is necessary to authenticate to LDAP services instead of relying on Groupwise authentication. Here is the jist of how it went down: Obtain list of users in Groupwise […]
Over the past few months I’ve had a few large projects. One of which is a replacement project to the “Kraken”, which never did get put into full production use. The largest project of all was the domestic social network expansion project I embarked on (read: we had another child, […]

Today I took the plunge and installed W7 on another partition at work, now that the MS Employee posted the RSAT for the public beta. I was rather impressed at the speed at which it performed. Also interesting is the new take on ADUC, called ADAC (Administration Center). I couldn’t […]
The official Windows 7 Beta has started. Friday was a bit frustrating as the response overwhelmed Microsoft, but I was able to get a Windows 7 Beta key, as well as download the real ISO. Upon installing it, I had some mixed reactions to the new task bar. Maybe it […]
