I actually use Hyper-V in my home install because of the better hardware support. It gets the job done for very basic setups. The reason I avoid it in a business environment is that clustering requires a domain to start up. It makes it difficult to setup a completely virtual environment...

http://www.iscdfw.com/onlinecatalog/sensorprobe/sensor-probe.htm http://www.amazon.com/UPTIME-DEVICES-SH-2-Sensorhub-Environ/dp/B0002Y0TK0 We have a client that has used these for years with great success. It can be tied into monitoring systems such as PRTG very easily. I've used...

As far as I can tell, it requires a TS CAL and a Windows server CAL. I don't think it would make financial sense to use it with to connect to end user workstations.

I used a combination of books. Shon Harris was the main one. I think I read the book cover to cover two or three times. I also used Security Engineering by Ross Anderson. I had another book that I didn't read, but used the practice tests several times. I don't recall the name. No boot...

I feel special. It says I'm overpaid for my region.

It sounds like you are really looking more for a listserv. For Exchange, only 2 exist that I am aware of. GFI MailEssentials contains one and Active Subscriber @ http://www.ikakura.com/. Neither of which are particularly cheap. Price is usually a good way to convince higher ups that they...

Server 2008 x64

The powershell integration rocks. The console is a pile of crap though. It is like they skipped so many of the common tasks that force you to use powershell that it is just silly. Exchange 2010 looks like it will fix most of that.

You generally want your server or network room to be at a higher pressure than the rooms around it. With the scenario you have described, all the dust and bad air around this room are going to be sucked into it. You'll be turning your equipment into very expensive air filters.

We have the majority of our Exchange 2007 servers virtualized. We have 2 CAS servers, 2 Edgeservers, and 2 Hub servers in ESX with no issues. Our mailbox store is not in vmware because it already utilizes the hardware fully (dual quad core with 32GB ram). I would recommend calculating out...

Really, a degree makes your job into a career? I guess a cert will making you a freakin expert in that technology too. Face it, there are as many paper tiger degree holders as there are paper tiger cert holders. The only proof they offer is you are one step above a complete buffoon. It may...

We've found rage quitting to be drastically lower if you let the other team live through the first level. At that point they've committed some time, so they won't be as likely to rage.

I ran into that exact problem in Windows 7, but beta drivers for my sound card fixed the problem.

Security Engineering 2nd Edition http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html First edition is available for free online. I'd recommend the 2nd edition. Very well written and very detailed. I used the first edition as part of my study materials for the CISSP. Be prepared to skip and reread...
