These are my links for May 7th through May 19th:
- Remove users and groups from site access – Windows SharePoint Services – Microsoft Office – To properly manage access to the resources on your site, it is important for site administrators to promptly cancel the access of users who are no longer with the organization or whose role has changed such that their permission level needs to be adjusted.
- Ask the Directory Services Team : RSAT Released for Windows 7 – How do I get back the missing tabs?<br />
<br />
RSAT for Vista finally got back 4 of the 5 missing tabs for ADUC, but RSAT for Windows 7 RTM is still missing them. I assume they should match the names you see in Server 2008 R2:<br />
<br />
•Remote Desktop Services Profile<br />
<br />
•Environment<br />
<br />
•Sessions<br />
<br />
•Remote Control<br />
<br />
•Dial-in<br />
<br />
Since we now have some RODCs on our domain, it would also be nice to have the Password Replication tab.
- How to install and configure the Indexing Service on a Windows Server 2008-based computer – This article describes how to install and configure the Indexing Service on a Windows Server 2008-based computer. Additionally, this article describes the changes that were made to the Indexing Service for Windows Server 2008.
- What is Enhanced vMotion Compatibility anyway? | The VMguy – Let me explain the problem, as some customers find it, and some do not. Here’s the issue: You start your virtual infrastructure by purchasing 3 hosts. Let’s say that the 3 hosts have Intel E5310 processors in them. You start to load up your VM’s on that cluster over the next 6 months. When the cluster is full you go back to your OEM vendor of choice, only to find that they no longer make that server model with a E5310 processor. The same model from the OEM now contains a Intel E5420 CPU. There are some differences in this CPU from those in the original hosts , specifically the instruction set (SSE4). If you try to add that new host to the existing cluster you will quickly find that you cannot vMotion to it.

- Jie Li’s GeekWorld : Installation Notice for SharePoint 2010 Public Beta – Since SharePoint 2010 has been made available for MSDN/TechNet subscriber public now, here’re some steps you would like to follow to get a successful installation. But keep in mind: This beta is not supported and you CANNOT upgrade the installation to RTM when it’s released. This Beta should only be used for evaluation purpose.

- Global Catalog vs. Infrastructure Master – Directory Services/Active Directory – Q: Is the Infrastructure Master allowed to run on a Domain Controller which also holds the Global Catalog Server?
- How to migrate the vCenter database to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 – NTPRO.NL – Eric Sloof – If you want to relocate your vCenter database from a local express SQL server to a central Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you can use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to copy and transform data between supported data sources and destinations.
The purpose of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard is to copy data from a source to a destination. The wizard can also create a destination database and destination tables for you. However, if you have to copy multiple databases or tables, or other kinds of database objects, you should use the Copy Database Wizard instead.
- Virtual Infrastructure best practices | VMGuru.nl – I choose (a virtual) life! – Lately I keep receiving questions from colleagues regarding virtual infrastructure design using VMware products. So I decided to sum up the best practices I use when designing a new virtual infrastructure. Some of the best practices are based on numbers and calculations but others are pretty obvious. Nevertheless you would be surprised how many environments I’ve encounter were the most basic best practices have NOT been met.

Jason Boche posted this picture to twitter of very basic steps to upgrade to vSphere
(Why does twitpic crop the picture when you embedd the picture?)
I still haven’t even started to plan my upgrade to V4. I still need to make sure my hardware will support it.

We ended up going with a small vmware view deployment because we already had ESX and got a better deal on view. But the project was rushed and its not installed or configured optimally (not the project leads fault)
We are not using shared clones and not redirecting profiles or user data.
I’ve been reading comparisons of xendesktop vs view and really wish we would have gone with xendesktop. We have Citrix PS 4. Oh well.
I found this video comparing streaming video and PowerPoint in both products. I’m just wondering how well this would look on a non-HDX xendesktop

We are digging into the whole VDI options because of some specialty apps one of our business are deploying. We are also consolidating our data centers so offering VDI in the datacenter will make access to the data more secure and quicker.
We’ve had people in to talk about both products. We already using ESX for our server virtualization and have a Citrix presentation server 4.0 farm (with current support)
Citrix seems to have more options and a better overall package, but there’s also a higher price for those options. One thing we were told today is even if we plan on using XP for the virtual desktops we have to purchase a special “virtual license”. I don’t remember the name of the license (it included the the word vista in it) but we where told we’d still need it for XP desktops. That’s an extra cost we were not expecting.
Anyone have experience with Epicor Clientele in a VDI or XenApp environment?
later,jb
