こんにちはすべて! それはの私の最後のブログ以来の2か月に少しあった Windowsヴィスタハードウェア査定2.1 (WVHA) 解放8月で。 私達のdevのチームがであるものまで疑問に思うかもしれない。 それで、大いに必要な残りを得ることは別として、私達はずっと用具の次の版の使用中の働きである。 はい、私達は主要な拡張ここで述べている。 WVHAを聞かなかったあなたのそれのための、のは基本的にあなたのネットワークに出かける、しっかりWindowsヴィスタおよび2007年のマイクロソフト・オフィス移動の彼らのハードウェアおよび装置両立性のための各PCを査定するネットワーク広い準備の査定用具- 私の詳しいブログのポストのためにここにかちりと鳴らしなさい.

用具の拡張-マイクロソフトの査定および計画の解決の加速装置

この拡張は元のWVHAの機能性および7言語局在化しか保たないが、またWindowsサーバー2008波およびマイクロソフトによって統合された仮想化の率先のための多くの要素を組み込む。 同じ代理店より少なくの目録機能をそれをサーバー、適用およびワークステーションの下部組織調査し、1時間または2の一連の査定レポートを取り戻すために持っていることを想像しなさい!

マイクロソフトの査定および計画(地図)の解決の加速装置, the new name announced at IT Forum 2007 this week, will be the next-generation WVHA where we will add new assessment scenarios for Windows Server 2008 migration, server virtualization via Hyper-V, application virtualization recommendations using Microsoft Application Virtualization (SoftGrid) and more.

I create millions and billions of Virtual Machines - ok, maybe not that many but it feels like it. Everytime I have copied the physical files (VHD/VMC) a number of things must be done if I want to join those virtual machines to my domain(s) - most importantly: the machines SID (Security ID) must be re-generated to be unique and the computer must be renamed of course.

So, heres the thing. Back in the good old days you had to find the Windows CD, find and extract the Deploy.CAB file to you hard drive and then execute the SYSPREP.EXE tool. But, with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 the SYSPREP file(s) can be found below:

%WINDIR%\System32\Sysprep - ready "out of the box", just waiting for you to go for it!

And this is the important thing (and the reason why I started this blog): If you want to create a new SID, remember to CHECK the "Generalize" checkbox - or else you have to go all over again...


During the following reboot a new SID is automatically generated - and you will have to type in your Product/License Key, provide a new Computer Name, select an Administrator Password etc.








You may have known this already - personally I didn't because I tend to use the wonderful Sysinternal NewSID tool for this purpose in most cases (it's much faster)... However, that...

On top of releasing Windows Vista SP1 to a broad set of beta testers last week, the Windows Server Division also released Release Candidate 0 of Windows Server 2008. I used to work for a local ISP a few years ago and managed their Windows Server boxes running Windows Server 2003. I acquired skills in Active Directory management and IIS management - although very basic. I really wanted to try out the changes in IIS7 as well as changes coming to Active Directory in Windows Server 2008. I decided to fire up Windows Server 2008 RC0 in Virtual PC 2007.

Windows Server 2008 in Virtual PC shows up on my home network as if it were an actual PC - with a real IP address and all.

I haven't gotten around to testing Windows Server 2008 RC0 as a domain controller just yet. It currently sits on my home network serving as a web server (when fired up in Virtual PC). I used IIS7 to configure the server for "standard web hosting" - testing out using Microsoft Expression Web to create web pages and automatically publish to the Windows Server 2008 web server. I also tested out FTP using the SmartFTP client (which looks like its Certified for Windows Vista too). Eventually I want to try setting up SharePoint and trying it out on IIS7.

While I

Interview with Heartland Technology Solutions at WPC 2007

On Day 3 of the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2007 (WPC) in Denver, I caught up with IT veterans from the Heartland Technology Solutions (HTS) in Harlan, Iowa - CEO, Arlin Sorensen and Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Larry Hedin. Here's what they have to say about what's they've seen at WPC.

Baldwin: "Arlin, it's good seeing you and Larry again. A few months ago, I met you and a few peer group members of the Heartland Technology Group (HTG) during a series of product and technology review meetings on Microsoft's Redmond Campus. Can you tell us a bit more about the Heartland Technology Group (HTG), how it started and what the charter is?"

Arlin: "Sure. Back in 2001, I recognized that there was a general lack of peer groups for Microsoft partners that serve the SMB space in the United States and Canada. As technology continued to morph and change, we knew that we couldn't figure out everything on our own, so I decided to launch the first HTG peer group that same year. The HTG peer group is an open community where technology leaders would share their own daily real world experience with
