		<title>DirectAccess Connectivity Assistant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DirectAccess is a great technology and I love to use it. If I get connection problems, I just open up my command line and examine the ipconfig output to see if something’s wrong. But is this something all your customers and colleagues are capable to do? I think not. Especially in rather large deployments, DirectAccess [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bitlocker Benchmark &#8211; A small test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bitlocker is a nice piece of security technology. My company, working mainly in IT consulting, uses only notebooks and of course needs to transport sensitive data from time to time. So, since Vista we use BitLocker to protect our valuable information from theft, e. g. in case of a stolen notebook. We also deployed it for some customers.

		<title>Tracking down Sharepoint Access Denied errors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every last business day of the month, freelancers working for our company access our SharePoint Portal to enter their project work times. This time, they got an &#8220;Access Denied&#8221; error instead of the usual homepage. Trying to access &#8220;www.someportal.com&#8221; would result in the error shown below. On the other hand, directly accessing the time sheet manager via &#8220;www.someportal.com/time/&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Sharepoint Services &#8211; 503 Service unavailable error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I installed the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 machine in order to install the Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007 R2 later on. I had to use the SPS because the SLD installer is incompatible with non-English MOSS farms&#8230; and Microsoft didn&#8217;t quite care about the users [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bitlocker and the disappearing harddrive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A customer of mine uses Microsoft BitLocker encryption to protect all it&#8217;s computers, both mobile and workstations, as they contain critical financial information of several other companies. When upgrading their client environment to Vista, we already introduced BitLocker for all hard drives and it worked like a charm. As they now move on to Windows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Direct Access and OCS problems after TMG RC to RTM migration</title>

 Exporting the Forefront TMG RC configuration.
 Uninstalling Forefront TMG RC from the server.

		<title>Step by Step Guide: Office 2003 with App-V 4.6 Beta 64-Bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone!
Our company tries very hard to use the newest software available, so customers see it in action when our consultants work with them. But in the &#8220;real world&#8221;, the clocks don&#8217;t tick as fast. Most of the time we face companies that are now migrating to Windows XP and Office 2003&#8230; oh my. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>ConfigMgr: The old heritage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2008 I installed a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 environment at a customer’s site. In the end, we had quite large task sequences with dozens of “install software” entries to automate OS deployments as good as possible. A “feature” of ConfigMgr was to wait 90 seconds in between each task. Imagine 50 software packages… and do [...]]]></description>

		<title>The case of the slow smartcard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Computers tend to get slower over time, the more you use it, the faster this will happen. But is this true for hardware as well? In this case: smartcards? I didn’t believe it until I got my hands on a few cards from employees that complained about very slow read times. Our company enrolled smartcards [...]]]></description>

		<title>System Center Configuration Manager: PXE fails after SP2 installation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today’s task was to upgrade an existing SCCM R2 SP1 installation to service pack 2. I checked the site status before I started: everything was “green”. The prerequisite check was “ok”, despite two minor warnings. So I went on and all SP2 tasks finished successfully. Well then, I thought, let’s check the existing OS deployment [...]]]></description>
