  • Blog Post: PowerShell convert

    Back in the day I worked with this amazing guy James O’Neill (@jamesoneill) who really got into PowerShell and had it doing all sorts of clever things like geo tagging his dive photos based on data form his watch and camera. On the serious side he developed a PowerShell Configurator (which is still...

  • Blog Post: Event: IT Camp Leeds Feb 28th

    Back in December Simon and I invited a few friends along to help us beta test a different kind of event, an IT Camp .  The idea is simply to do smaller, more interactive events where discussions and questions are encouraged.  The presenters, (Simon and I) being a bit more in the background...

  • Blog Post: Bye bye Atlanta, Hello System Center Advisor

    One of the many announcements to come out of the recent Microsoft Management Summit was System Center Advisor . Essentially this is Operations Manager (SCOM) in the cloud, so a sort of InTune for servers.  I had a look at the precursor to this, Project Atlanta back in January, but at the time it...

  • Blog Post: Active Directory for Demos

    Are you bored setting up domain controllers for your demos to work with, not sure of all the prompts to fill in then try this on a clean copy of Windows Server 2008 R2.. Create a text file called NewDC.txt and copy this into it.. [DCINSTALL] InstallDNS=Yes NewDomain=forest10 NewDomainDNSName=Contoso...

  • Blog Post: Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory–Recycle Bin

    With  Recycle Bin now available I may now be able to get a job in Active Directory, as it provides recovery form the sort of finger trouble I occasionally suffer from.  To use it you need to turn on the feature and this ironically cannot be undone, as it changes the way deletes are handled...

  • Blog Post: Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory – PowerShell

    Following on from yesterday’s post I realised that I had made a couple of other active directory screencasts, which might be useful.  Probably the most important  feature for me would be the new recycle bin, but before I get to that you need to understand that like the newer versions of Exchange...

  • Blog Post: Boot from VHD – help is at hand

    I have mentioned the process of booting to a VHD before and if you have tried it you’ll know it’s a bit fiddly and there is potential to cripple your machine if you’re not careful.  I was discussing this with one of the newer members of my division Software Architect Dave Bishop and he has adapted...

  • Blog Post: A small problem with Managed Service Accounts

    I am very fortunate to always have the latest versions of Microsoft stuff to play with such as SQL Server 2008 R2, but occasionally something doesn’t work, and so I need to tell the relevant product team what the problem is. In this case I was trying to get the SQL Server 2008 R2 November CTP...

  • Blog Post: IIS 7.5 and Windows Server Core

    There is so much stuff on Windows7 & 2008 R2 features out there, but not so much on IIS 7.5.  The other reason it slipped off my radar was that reporting services in SQL Server 2008 directly uses http.sys for its portal and there is no longer a need to install IIS at all.  Anyway it’s now...

  • Blog Post: SQL Server Advent Calendar 9 – Management with Powershell

    Day 9 of my virtual advent calendar, about stuff I like in SQL Server 2008.. Many SQL Server databases are managed by part time or accidental DBA’s, who have a whole bunch of other duties possibly including networking, active directory, SharePoint and Exchange.   As well as learning about what...

  • Blog Post: Analysis Services debugging& tuning

    I keep recommending IT Professionals to check out codeplex for the various samples that are on there to make life easier, but I haven’t been on there myself for a couple of weeks (doh!).  This site has largely taken the place of the resource kits that used to come out for use with Windows, SQL Server...

  • Blog Post: TechNet Launch Road Shows

    The next round of road shows are going to focus on Windows Server 2008 and Vista sp1 so no SQL Server 2008 this time.  But no peace for the wicked like, many dba's, when not doing my day job I have to get my head around all of the other stuff that sits around the database, such as SharePoint, the...

  • Blog Post: On the Fourth Day Of Christmas an IT Pro sent to me...

    Four Jolly Nerds (Nerd no. 4 is drawing the cartoon) PowerShell is going to change the way servers are managed when it ships with Windows Serve 2008.  There is already a thriving PowerShell user group in the UK who are itching to play with PowerShell when this is is available in SQL Server 2008...
