Hi there, I am James Carter, and I am a Windows Server MVP in Directory Services. Basically, I am an Active Directory geek. I am a moderator at both www.ntcompatible.com and www.linuxcompatible.org (a.k.a. "clutch"), and I am an AD engineer/contractor (Subject Matter Expert, Enterprise Directory Services) for the US Army. My plan for this blog is to be a diary mostly of things I come up with at work, or things that can just simply make AD/DNS deployment easier.
In addition, I am a BIG fan of virtualization and use MS Virtual Server 2005 on several machines in our lab (hosting about 10 forests) and I use VMware workstation/ESX server in other environments. I have been working on methods to allow hosting of many "virtual" subnets on these servers and plan on passing configuration information to anyone reading this as well.
As for other topics that will probably show up here, I love my 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS that I autocross in (G/S right now, can't afford STS). I also cycle (road and mountain) here in Arizona, and do some part-time consulting and might be making the move into teaching. Above all, my favorite way to kill time is with my wife and daughter, both of which like "spirited" driving and cycling as well.
Well, on with the show...
