Moving. It is stressful, time consuming, costly and physically demanding if you do it all yourself (we did). The Nun and I have spent the last two weeks painting rooms, cleaning up, and trying to make furniture from the previous home work in the layout of the new place (of course she sees it as an “opportunity” to redesign and make things “better”. Sigh. So on top of the cost of the move there is the impending cost of replacing furniture. My poor wallet.

Anyway….all of this lead to me missing the first of Jun – The date I committed to becoming active with my blogging again. It has just been hectic.

But here I am now and ready to go. I am still working on getting the site updated to the latest version of Community Server. Expect a little downtime still till I get that all worked out. I am also going to trim the categories WAY down to narrow the focus of the blog.

Look for a post to follow-up the webcast I delivered yesterday on the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer. I have gathered some resources that provide more information on how the ExBPA can help resolve issues and truly simplify the maintenace of your Exchange Org regardless of the number of Exchange Servers you have.

I am also (like all of my co-workers) spending a lot of time with Vista and Office 2007. Look for a LOT of postings on both of those.

Vista Ultimate and Media Center is looking sweet. I happen to love Media Center and plan on digging very deep into MCE features and functionality.

Some of you may have heard about the new version of Internet Security and Accelleration Server (ISA). I will be working more with that in the newxt few months as well. I have to make sure that my home network plays well with ISA, in particular my Vonage VoIP phone which currently sits behind my ISA firewall. So look for ISA postings.

Of course Longhorn Server is going to play a big part in my postings as will the new Exchaneg Server product.

Finally, I am going to be heading back to my roots with the Small Business Server product. I worked tech support for SBS for 5 years before coming into my current role. It is a fabulous product and I want to stay on top of it.

So that is the basically outline of how things will pan out over the next few months! 

 

Cheers!
