sysadmin

If you are not already aware, Microsoft have been preparing a whole host of improvements to Windows 8.

Last November my dear friend @Pandom_ presented at the Melbourne VMUG (or MVMUG) event and asked me to tag along for the ride.

Recently I started a Computer Science course through EdX (more on that in a future post) and found I liked to flesh out some of my thoughts via pen + pad.

Continuing on with my previous posts theme of OSX, the next handy guide will demonstrate how to enable the VNC server (Microsoft people, think RDP server) via SSH.

Although I hope most SysAdmin’s don’t forget their passwords, it sometimes can happen.

One of the handy things about performing a in-place upgrade Windows versus a wipe/install upgrade is the option to rollback to your old copy of Windows if things didn’t turn out the way you like.

There’s plenty of talk in the industry around ‘cloud computing’.

If you have been hanging out for the latest release of Windows for either your home computer or your server farms the wait is almost over.

I only discovered this less than a fortnight ago but Microsoft in their wisdom removed the GUI option to setup a wireless hotspot (or Ad Hoc network) in Windows 8.

If you haven’t heard the news already, Microsoft have made the decision to retire the TechNet Subscriptions service.
