Repost from AdminPrep.com…I will be moving several of the articles over to this blog. Before all this starts, credit must go where credit is due. I did not come up with all of the info within this article. A lot of people have felt my pain and...
In my Administrator’s Guide to Server Core Commands article on AdminPrep I showed you how to display the time on the command prompt of your Server Core command window. I just read that Daniel Petri has some other cool shortcuts on what you can display...
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…
While I’ve always been a fan of Task Manager but lets face the facts…its has its limitations. Mark Russinovich has rolled up his wonderful Sysinternal Troubleshooting Utilities into a single download that can be found here . In there you will find...
Server Core has been a popular topic for me over the last year as it is something completly different from what i'm used to working on. I love the GUI but I know there are times when I have to do things via the command line. Well if you are going...
Last week I spent some time at my former employer taking a Server 2008 upgrade course . Shame on you if you haven't checked them out for training because their Hard Hat courses are hands down the best out there. I spent a lot of time in that course...

After spending a bit of time on Amazon I noticed that books, movies, and other random things you can buy all had customer reviews. I started to think, why don't white papers and technical documents have the same? Today I've decided to take action...

Bob Muglia mentioned in the keynote at TechEd 2007 (really wish I could be there) that IIS7 was in fact going to be included in Server Core . I know that a lot of hosting providers have been screaming for this and rightfully so. While this sounds like...
