Exam 70-501 and 74-679

On june 8, I passed exam 70-501 “TS: Hosting Microsoft Products Using Windows Server 2003″.
On june 22, I passed exam 74-679 “Windows Server 2008 Hosted Environments, Configuring and Managing” :)

Tested my skills and passed. It’s always nice to confirm your skills once in a while.

After a few weeks of frustration I finally found the solution for my problem.
My Windows Mobile device name kept changing into HTCXX, where the XX were numbers. I blamed Active Sync, my bluetooth car kit, the phone itself. But eventually it was me. ;)

It seems that when you have an underscore in your device name, Active Sync changes that into something random.

Solution: don’t use a underscore in your device name…!

Firefox, NTLM and Sharepoint

Today a ran into this site about configuring Firefox to use NTLM with Sharepoint sites. Surely it could be used for any NTLM website site. But no testing has been done on my part.

Running Windows 7 Smoothly

I am running Windows 7 @home and it runs smoothly (single proc P4 2.8 GHz, 2 GIG RAM). I had some problems installing it on my raid drive, but fixed it by downloading newer drivers. Something to be aware of. I also created an account for my 5 years old daughter and setup parental control, works like a charm.( Big daddy is watching you :) )
