THE OFFICIAL BLOG OF THE SBS DIVA

Fridays suck.  They really really do this year...

I'll give you examples:

• We tend to get into the "we hate R2" on Fridays
• On a Friday it was announced that SBS 2003 R2 was recalled
• ...and in a moment of unfortunate timing... on the same Friday Dr. J announced he was leaving Microsoft

Tomorrow also sucks.

...but in the spirit of Scarlett O'hara...there's another day...another day to learn some more...to be taught a new lesson...

So what did I personally learn?... Let's see...my own personal lessons from Dr. J:

• Making the local admin password the same as the domain password is a stupid thing to do (I don't do that anymore)
• Thinking that power user was secure (I don't EVEN want to acknowledge that my original GSEC essay was how I made everyone power user in my office and considered that was making folks secure...man was I dumb on that one...
• When SMB signing is a security risk and when it's not
• and a whole bunch more...

.so I'll do my best to 'Go forth and do good'.  You should too.  I have a strong feeling ... that we'll all still be learning... a ton... even after one sucky Friday.
