  1. What did we do before virtual servers? Oh yeah, colocation "camp-outs" and dinner from vending machines. I love RDP. (wearing IT hat today)
  2. @betseymerkel I'm just prob naive; reals sysadmins roll eyes at my realtime observations :)
  3. default: every config on Win2008 Server asks "are you sure?" but I see button to close/shutdown/power off. Don't press from remote.
  4. sorry...my first experiences with Win2008 Server...lots of crap to disable. User Account Control in Control Panel -> User Accounts
  5. disabeling security is "bad" but ridiculous--can't even download Firefox from a Win2008 server!
  6. First thing to do upon logging in to Windows 2008 Server is disable enhanced security. Server Manager -> Configure IE ESC
  7. How long before Microsoft is sued for anti-trust b/c of "Enhanced Security Configuration" that prevents downloading Firefox on servers??
  8. getting settled into new work/office space. I will ignore that can of paint over there and get to work!

  12. @apsinkus re the BenQ GP1 how is spending $500 on a toy "downsizing"? fun video, but $500 is a major purchase in my house
  13. @apsinkus that BenQ GP1 sounds like a blast http://bit.ly/2dwiqg|scid|391
