When I got back on the Blog wagon, I intended to write more posts, and even came up with a list of topics that I wanted to write about. So far I am not doing so well on that. The last couple of posts that I wrote had to do with SharePoint, which wasn’t even… Continue reading Blog Status

New Favicon for my site
So in a previous life, I spent time in the Navy. I was a Machinist Mate, in the Nuclear Power Program. That history, my tendency to (over) analyze things and the fact that my name is Michael all let to the name of this site. (Nuke it Mike). This site is not (currently, or planned… Continue reading New Favicon for my site
2015 Interests Update
I said here that I wanted to get to 175 (from 148) and I have made it to 154 (if you count this post). I am sure that is right on track. The next post that I wrote (after my post count) was a list of things I wanted to work on (or that I… Continue reading 2015 Interests Update
The Good and the Bad of Microsoft Ignite (IMHO)
I have been attending a Microsoft conference each year since 2003. (I think I missed one year because of a child being born close to the same time as the conference.) Until last year, the conference that I went to was the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS). I am an infrastructure guy so that conference seemed… Continue reading The Good and the Bad of Microsoft Ignite (IMHO)
Goals (or interests) for this year
I said I want to make it to 175 posts (from 148 posts). I have been thinking (for at least 5 minutes) that one way to do that is to write about some of the things that I want to work on. Then I could share my progress, as well as the lessons learned from… Continue reading Goals (or interests) for this year
Blogging–the New Begining
Pretty dramatic title isn’t it? I am posting this mostly in a humorous (to me) attempt to get myself blogging again. I have had a blog for several years (6? 7?), but I don’t blog very much. I think the stats say I have 148 posts. Maybe I can make it to 200 by the… Continue reading Blogging–the New Begining
Unable to login to Citrix server via RDP or ICA
We have recently set up some new Windows Server 2008 R2/Citrix XenApp 6.0 servers. For some reason, users could not launch a remote desktop to them even though we (thought) allowed this. Turns out there is a policy which blocks this by default. I found the answer here: Re: Unable to login using RDP or… Continue reading Unable to login to Citrix server via RDP or ICA
“Blue Screens”
Mark Russinovich writes his blog posts for people who want to get REALLY deep into the causes of computer problems. But today, he posted something that is a little on the “fun” side as well. “Blue Screens” in Designer Colors with One Click markrussinovich 11 Jan 2011 12:15 PM Comments 0 My last blog post… Continue reading “Blue Screens”
Changes in Leadership within the Server & Tools Business.
Wonder what this will mean for the Server and Tools Business at Microsoft? In conjunction with this leadership change, Bob has decided to leave Microsoft this summer. He will continue to actively run STB as I conduct an internal and external search for the new leader. Bob will onboard the new leader and will also… Continue reading Changes in Leadership within the Server & Tools Business.
Windows cannot access the specified device
This is an old problem, but I still see it from time to time. You are trying to run and executable that you downloaded, and you are on a Windows 2003 system. You double click and get: As you can see here, I am simply trying to install the windirstat utility to figure out… Continue reading Windows cannot access the specified device
