I doubt we will see it in Florida within my life time. The taxes are low to keep the retires coming and the politics of introducing a state income tax would just about kill any party promoting it. Jon On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 1:24 PM, Kennedy, Jim wrote: > That will change, it is happening very

RE: SQL 2005&2008 32&64bit on same cluster?

I know you could probably run SQL 2005 64Bit on a 64bit Cluster and then make an instance of SQL 2008 64bit on the same cluster, but why in run 32bit SQL 2005 and 64bit SQL 2005 on the same cluster and for 2k8 for the same manner. Usually you want your 2 node clusters in Active/Passive, and if

RE: There is a new Certification in town... I passed my CISSP

Yeah I got tired of running m$ rat race back in like 2004, so I am sure this year the rest of the M$ certs will run out, which I don't mind, as I am heading the security route, having a MCTIP or MCSE, or any M$ degree really doesn't affect me much anymore.

RE: BuiltIn\Administrators group on a DC

Yeah, that's not quite true. A DC still has a local SAM. For example, that's where the DS Restore Mode users and passwords are stored. The local SAM is the one that existed at the time the DC was promoted. There are also a number of local groups - called BUILTIN groups. Go into ADUC. You'll se

RE: EBS (Essential Business Server) is Dead

Just set the price of SBS to the difference between the base Server (that is acting as host) and what the SBS/EBS suite costs. Then lock down the host server version of Hyper-V so that it will only allow for one guest for SBS or 4 guests for EBS. In essence you are licensing the SBS/EBS Server i

RE: Friday OT - Web cam case

We did it a couple of years ago for all 8th and 9th graders (which, to be fair, isn't all that many in a district our size). That was under a state grant. I think a couple of years ago, though, the technology wasn't quite ready for prime time. Now it's reaching a point where a reasonably powerfu
