What are your desires? How can you form them into definite goals that you can attain?
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

Be precise.
Exactly how much money do you want, and by what date?
And exactly what are you going to do to earn that money? Be realistic, but give yourself short-term goals. Write it down. In six months or one year, you will have how much money. And repeat it until it feels good. Then repeat it twice a day until it swirls in your subconscious, until it becomes your one-pointed goal.

Feel worthy of your own goal.
Know that you can attain it and that it is right for you. Grasp your own challenge. Don’t give yourself impossible goals, but always reach higher. Relax and be yourself. Don’t be plagued by what you think others think of you.

Be slow to criticize others’ achievements. Find out how they did it and learn from them. Don’t go behind someone’s back. Speak your mind and earn respect. Banish negative thoughts and traits. Restructure your life to exclude bad habits.

Believe in yourself and what you are to accomplish. All the power in the world is within you to achieve. Success in life is attainable for everyone who follows their dreams and passions.

My goal is to save up USD7000,- within 2 years. To reach that goal, I need to set aside approximately USD 300,- each month. The primary goal was to reach this amount within 1 year, but after a short review, I decided to spread it over an additional year.

Essentials can also be used for tasks such as packaging and deploying software, and configuring Microsoft and third party updates. It also has integrated alerting, knowledge and troubleshooting for servers, PCs and services running in the IT environment.

The computer overview provides you with overall information about what’s going on with your servers and clients.

On the left side of the page you have several tabs which pretty much explain themselves. I was amazed by the possibilities this suite has to offer for virtualization though. It can easily designate a host and deploy virtual machines (even transform a physical machine into a Virtual Machine).

On the right side, you find the task pane, where you can find several tasks and tutorials on how to accomplish those difficult tasks.

Selecting an object (client / server) brings up an information tab which describes the object.

Preparing and deploying packages has never been this easy.

Helpdesk environments will especially find the remote assistance function very handy. Now you are just a click away from providing the costumer with the service they need.

Although sytem center essentials 2010 is only in its release candidate stage, it is already a very reliable and usefull tool within any small or medium sized business. And for the price below 3000 USD with 50 Client Access Licenses included, this is a no-thinker. Great product!!!

One people, one love, one life! Support Haiti during these harsh times!!!

Run Group Policy Editor on the local machine or set up a group policy on the requested OU

The applocker policy settings can be found at: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Application Control Policies > Applocker

AppLocker is available in all editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 and in Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise. Windows 7 Professional can be used to create AppLocker rules. However, AppLocker rules cannot be enforced on computers running Windows 7 Professional. Organizations should use AppLocker for all computers that support it.

Now choose to create a new Executable rule. Choose the option to Deny the chosen user access to the file in the chosen path.

The deleted object remains in the Deleted Objects container throughout the duration of the deleted object lifetime. So if the user had been active during a period of 3 months, the deleted object will remain in the Deleted Object container for a period of 3 months.

After the deleted object lifetime expires, the object is turned into a “recycled object” and is stripped of most of its attributes. The recycled object remains in the deleted objects container until its recycled object lifetime expires. After that, the object will be physically deleted.

To view the Deleted Objects Container:

• Run: ldp.exe
• In the Options menu, click Controls
• In the Controls box, expand the Load predefined pull-down menu, click return deleted object, and then click OK

To restore a Deleted object:

• Run: ldp.exe
• Connect to the Domain controller
• Navigate to CN=Deleted Objects container
• Locate and right-click the deleted Active Directory object, and click Modify
  • In Edit Entry Attribute, type isDeleted
  • Leave the Values box empty
  • Under Operation, click Delete, and then click Enter
  • In Edit Entry Attribute, type distinguishedName
  • In Values, type the original DN of this Active Directory object
  • Under Operation, click Replace
  • Make sure that the Extended check box is selected, click Enter, and then click Run

An even easier way to restore these objects, is by using Powershell Commands:

• Run the Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell as administrator
• Get-ADObject -Filter {CN} -IncludeDeletedObjects | Restore-ADObject

Enabling the Active Directory Recycle Bin (not reversible)

(keep in mind that this feature is only available if the forest functional level is set to Windows Server 2008 R2)

• Run the Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell as administrator
• Enable-ADOptionalFeature –Identity ‘CN=Recycle Bin Feature,CN=Optional Features,CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration, DC={mydomain},DC={com}’ –Scope ForestOrConfigurationSet –Target ‘{AD DS}’

It seems that you need to set the start mode for the Net.TCP Sharing service to Automatic before you install.

This can be used by entering the following code into the powershell command prompt:

Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic

Attaching and Creating VHD files is done inside the Windows Disk Management console. This console can be found in the Computer Management tool. You access this by right-clicking on My Computer, then click Manage.

To attach or create a VHD, click on the Action menu.

Of course, you can always attach a VHD that you created in Microsoft Virtual PC or Virtual Server but you can also create your own VHDs inside Windows 7.

To do this, click in the Create option on the Action menu. You will need to choose as to whether you want to create a fixed or dynamic VHD file, specify a path, and specify the size of the new virtual disk.

When you create a new VHD for the first time, you will see that the Micrsosoft VHD HBA device driver is being installed.

This will enable Disk management to see the new drive, but you still need to initialize it, create a new volume, and format it like any other dive. Right-click on the new disk and click to initialize disk.

You will be asked if you want to initialize the disk. Click OK.

Now, Right-click on the disk again and click New Simple Volume. This will bring up the New Simple Volume Wizard.

In this wizard, you will select the volume size, drive letter, format and disk block size before you click Finish to complete the wizard.

When done, you will have a new disk volume that looks just like any other physical disk partition.

In fact, I do not see any way to tell that the new volume is a VHD file except for when I Right-click on the disk and see the option to Detach VHD.

Attaching a VHD is much easier. Let us say I detach the attached VHD. To attach it, just go to Action then select Attach VHD.

You will be prompted to browse for the VHD file, specify if you want it mounted as read-only, and then you can mount it.

From here, you will be right back where you were.
