		<title>#%^@ing E-Machines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so this blog is about why you don&#8217;t want to TOUCH an E-Machine!  I ended up doing some work for a client, reloading an E-Machine model C2881 that he handed me.  Installed was 512 MB of RAM, and after loading XP SP3 and all updates along with removing all the crap that E-Machines puts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Email to certain domains not working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you have trouble reaching outside domains via email, the first place to look is your mail queue.  Regardless of mail server version, Exchange, sendmail, take a look at the queue and see if mail is building up.  If it is, find out why.  I wanted to share an experience I had with my Exchange [...]]]></description>

		<title>NBTScan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a utility no admin can be without.  This is a third party app, as opposed to the nbtstat command.  When run, it will show you detailed information on your network, and machines that are alive on the subnet you are scanning.  It also provides MAC addresses etc.  Download here.  Website here.  The syntax [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nice laptop wallpaper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had to throw this up there. This is a great wallpaper to put on someone&#8217;s laptop after you&#8217;ve reloaded Windows XP.  Click to preview in full size, right click save image as&#8230;  It&#8217;s 1024&#215;768.  Awesome

		<title>Apply User Config GPO to Computer only OU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I wanted to add a login script to some servers that runs bginfo.exe, so that we can see what server we are on when we remote desktop, along with other useful info.  Tricky, because &#8220;logon script&#8221; applies to user configuration, not computer configuration, and we&#8217;re applying this GPO against computer in AD, not users.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Verizon Wireless Whitelist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I ran into an issue with Verizon Wireless the other day.  Since our Exchange server resides in Hong Kong now (after migration from the U.S.), Verizon Wireless apparently blocks entire countries from sending to their mail servers @verizonwireless.com.  I needed to get email to our account rep, as well as send forms to add [...]]]></description>

		<title>Import/Export SharePoint from/to the filesystem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[THIS is invaluable.  We are having to re-install our SharePoint server because of the way it&#8217;s installed on a server that is low on disk space.  Unfortunately, SP was installed to the second partition, so I can&#8217;t really use parititioning tools to make more space available to the system partition without hosing my SP installation.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 WMP Codecs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been something of a challenge, but only slightly.  I had installed Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP), but have seen problems with Win7 crashing using this codec pack.  I have finally found a really good one at http://shark007.net/win7codecs.html.  Works well, and integrated directly with WMP, so no special players involved.

		<title>WHS Add-ins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I just recently installed Windows Home Server, and liking it pretty well so far.  I know, 3 years late, but better late than never.  I have used Acronis in the past for image based backups, as well as daily differentials, and WHS accomplishes the same thing, but has a more hands off approach, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Vista (32 bit) and Windows 7 God Mode</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A single pane of glass for your control panel in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.  This apparently works fine on 32 bit Vista, but can crash 64 bit Vista.  Simply create a new folder and name it:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
That&#8217;s all you have to do!  Nice&#8230;
