Time for an aside….hang on. This post is going to sound absurd. I swear to you it is true. I have this friend who asked to not be identified…..let’s call him “Brett Shirley” for the time being. And just to put it in perspective, let’s assume this “Brett...

Today we put out this page which talks about upgrading to the x64 Windows. Here’s the best part: The Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Technology Advancement Program enables customers who have purchased Windows XP Professional (32-bit) to exchange...

WS2003 Service Pack 1 brings with it all sorts of goodies. I’ll try and mention many of the AD ones over the next few weeks, but one I can’t help but mention sooner rather than later is access based enumeration. Rather than digging in to the feature,...
