Started a new blog...

in Off-Topic
So I started a new Blog. Mainly AD focus, with some system center and a spot for my thoughts on certifications.

Are there any topics people would like to see? Or any tech tips (from simple to fairly complex) that people would like?

Just looking for input.

The blog is: The RepAdmin Active Directory Blog

Thanks all!

    I'm a noob so I am loking for tips on working with AD, GPOs and general Windows Administration. I would also like to see any helpful commands and WHY you would use these commands.

    I really just need jumping off points to show me what I need to research lol. Little pointers from a seasoned Win Admin are always good.

    I do believe you are right about most people just installing AD and going on with life. In my test lab that is exactly what I did icon_sad.gif

    Good start, and a good thing for me to know to avoid..lol
    I'm kind of new to AD, no actual work experience with it yet.I took the 83-640 last month and taking the 70-642 this month, already started studying for the 70-643. I'd also like to see some stuff on setting up GPO's as that was one of my weak areas and I'd also see a little about what I will actually, vice reading/studying, see when I'm in your position.
    I'd like to see a little about when and why you use a lot of the new features in Sever 2008.

    Thanks all!

    The blogs looks great!! I will be taking 2 server classes this summer starting July 19th , and I will take all the extra training/resources I can get
    Learning server in 10 weeks instead of our typical 12 seems tough, but I’m going to give it a go.

    I look forward to reading and watching your blog develop.

    My primary goal in this blog is to pass on theory and concepts. You can find how to everywhere... but why and what are rarely shown.

    Dunno... hope people like it:)

    And... 10 good weeks is enough time to get your feet well and truly wet. Good luck!

    Don't forget folks, and not just for this thread, but if you like someone's contribution give 'em +Rep :)
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    Yes. Scripting with dsmod, dsquery, and dsget.

    Good to know. I'm taking the 70-642 this month and already started studying for the 70-643. I started a resource thread already for the 70-647 and the why and how will definitely come in handy for me.

    Thanks all!

    Also, are there any concepts or ideas with regards to AD that you all think should get some screen time?

    My next one is discussing GPOs.

    icon_thumright.gif I'd like to see you discuss a little about the strategies on implementing GPO's and the why for different strategies.
    After the GPO's I'd probably like to see something about server deployment and the why you would use different methods and something on the placements of servers.

    My current goal is one to two entries a week. Maybe faster, but not slower.

    And still taking requests for AD related topics... prefering theories and concepts.

    Ah...active directory. At some point, I'm going to get to that myself on my site. I like what you've done so far though. Very well written and very useful information.
