ISA Server 2006 TCP Retransmits
14 October 09 03:24 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Health Checks I perform ISA Server Health Checks for Premier Support (via Premier Field Engineering) as part of my role. I’ve seen something a few times recently that I thought it might be helpful to call out, while poking around in the Performance Monitor Read More...
ISA Server 2006 on Windows Server 2008: Nup
05 June 09 02:52 AM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yuri’s blog explains some of the detail. But there’s slightly more subtlety to it, which I’ll try to snake-oil in front of you here: Can I install ISA 2006 on 32-bit Windows Server 2008 ? No , it only runs on Windows Server 2003. Okay, so technically, Read More...
Home Hyper-V Networking Gotchas
13 January 09 10:12 PM | tristank | 5 Comments   
Before the holidays, I bought myself an early present: a new quad-core box with 4GB RAM, which I was going to use for a home Hyper-V lab, so that I could run a bunch of 64-bit VMs as well as the 32-bit staples I’ve been using for years (SBS 2003, and Read More...
What does it mean when there's no "broken page" icon in IE8?
10 September 08 06:59 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
I was just catching up on some of my RSS feeds, and noticed that one of the pages I was at didn't have a broken page icon, but wasn't working quite right (some broken javascript in the photos area, I'm guessing... I'll investigate that next). I wondered Read More...
I've gone soft!
21 September 07 12:41 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yes, perhaps my friends are right. Or perhaps they're just not nice people. Oh, enough with the trying-to-suspend-the-tension thing, I'm of course talking about my desk phone (a venerable Meridian thingo) being replaced with a Catalina USB phone as part Read More...
Quickly* pinging everything on a subnet
25 May 07 02:59 AM | tristank | 2 Comments   
For when you don't remember that you set your wireless gateway's static IP to .253, and it's not showing up in the list of leases on the DHCP server (predictably, but it's not helping your memory, and it's not in the arp cache either...), and you need Read More...
Kerbi Wiki
12 April 07 05:35 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Back from another holiday (I call it the Arnold Rimmer technique) I've been trying to collect, rework and refurbish my thoughts on web-based Kerberos stuff in a personal Wiki. You're welcome to peruse it with the usual disclaimers that I'm frequently Read More...
IE7 crashing on secure sites...
05 December 06 02:34 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
A colleague's copy of IE7 on Windows XP was playing up today. When browsing secure sites (that's https or ssl for the search engine crowd), IE would crash with a polite message offering to create a dump file. Otherwise, it was fine, but this was kinda Read More...
VPC is now Free!

Late to the party as usual, but hey, that's alright! So all our virtualization solutions are now available at no cost. That's fantastic news for anyone that uses this stuff day-in, day-out and might have balked at the cost of acquisition previously and Read More...

PAE and VMM... For Parky
27 May 06 12:50 AM | tristank | 2 Comments   
Well Parky, you asked , so I'm going to try to answer! The way I think about PAE is that it kinda works a bit like a stonking great in-memory pagefile might. It doesn't change the game for 32-bit applications, but it does give the OS more headroom to Read More...
IE7 Beta 2 and Flickering Redrawing Desktop Stuff
25 May 06 06:02 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Beta 2's been absolutely stunning for me, but suddenly today my desktop icons were going nuts (er, flickering) whenever I changed tabs, or switched between an IE and a non-IE window. I couldn't work out what was different at first, so figured it was probably Read More...
ISA 2004: Hosting a Joint Operations Server
12 January 06 01:49 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Back from the beach now, and starting to wade through the email morass via OWA (1000s of messages... makes you really appreciate fat clients, rules and desktop search). Here's an interesting one from the blog feedback folder: I am trying to configure Read More...
Vocab Corner: Bing
06 December 05 03:54 PM | tristank | 5 Comments   
Another wonderful word suggestion to add to your custom.dic, from the mind that brought you " Fnjorkel ". The Suggestion IM has become ubiquitous, but there's no widely accepted way of easily saying "IM me" in a non-vendor-specific manner without using Read More...
FolderShare Rocks!
07 November 05 02:25 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
That's all*. I hadn't even heard of FolderShare before the announcement that we'd acquired them, but having just synced my first few files and folders, I'm going to be using it much more. I found the setup a little counter-intuitive (in that I hadn't Read More...
