As I said in a recent post, I was in a training course last month where I learned everything about Windows Vista and Windows 2008 (well not everything) ;)

So, I am going to start tonight with some basics and move up to the more advanced stuff.  Below is a list of items I will be covering during this series.  If you have any suggestions, comments or inaccuracies, please let me know?

  1. Introduction to Windows Active Directory
  2. Exploring Windows 2008 Active Directory Roles
  3. DNS
  4. DHCP
  5. Windows Routing and Remote Access
  6. Network Policy Server
  7. Network Access Protection
  8. IPsec

OMG!!  WTF!!!  RDP/MSTSC is 75% of my life… I was like, what do I do now???  Well, I did what any good IS person would do is…
1) reboot = failed
2) try and find the uninstall for RDP client = failed
3) uninstall SP3 = failed (at least for my workstation)

I did the next best thing… repair XP… well that made it worse! My network adapter got completely hosed…………GRRRRRRR

So, reluctantly, I backed up my workstation and RELOADED it :(

Here I am typing away on my newly reloaded workstation…

THANKS MICROSOFT!!!
