Foldershare Revamped!- March 17, 2008 (This post brought to you by the number 3, and the letters WHY AM I NOT SLEEPING) It's been a while - and suddenly: Pow! (and did I mention ooh) A new Foldershare website! Has the feel of SkyDrive to it. And a big, prominent beta logo. Wonder if that hints that Foldershare might become the desktop client for Skydrive, at least in part (previously, as I understand it, it was always client-to-client, no actual storage "in the cloud", so you couldn't get stuff unless at least..http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/18/ooh-foldershare-revamped.aspx Post-SP2 TCP Offload Fix- March 17, 2008 I've mentioned Chimney before. Now, a new Windows Update fix for TCP Offload, which turns it off. It was on by default in Windows Server 2003 SP2, so if your NIC supported Offload, or RSS, or that other thing I can never remember, it was enabled. But: we (PSS we) typically turn it off as a first troubleshooting step for any network-related issue - a) because we know from experience that several drivers seem to do interesting things with it installed (that's a nice way of saying update your..http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/17/post-sp2-tcp-offload-fix.aspx IIS7 Modules Aplenty - WebDAV, Bitrate Throttling- March 15, 2008 New modules, supported by Microsoft, are now officially RTMd (RTWd) and available for use with IIS 7.0.

Productivity Tip: Make A Y-Wing From Whiteboard Markers- March 13, 2008 My Top Tips series commences with the only not-really-computery tip I have to share: The Y-Wing. Are you sick of losing whiteboard markers I was! We all were! In the turbulent, fast-paced environment that every-minute-counts problem solving creates, my workgroup found that tens of minutes a year were being spent searching for whiteboard markers. Every moderately complex case needs a whiteboard diagram (you can quote me on that), but what happens when you can't find a marker Worse still,...http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/13/productivity-tip-make-a-y-wing-from-w... "Stacking" NTLM Authentication- March 11, 2008 This question came up today (well, actually, it was about four weeks ago I started typing this, but bear with me), and it's been a little while since I've rambled about authentication protocols, so let's enjoy a nice, calm discussion on a Monday Tuesday arvo. The request was something like: In a Web Publishing scenario, can I do NTLM at the ISA Server and NTLM at the Exchange server too No And the answer is - well, no. There's no way for the client browser to distinguish between the ISA..http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/11/stacking-ntlm-authentication.aspx MaxUserPort - what it is, what it does, when it's important- March 11, 2008 What can we say about MaxUserPort that hasn't already been said Not a lot, it would seem. He's a beautiful dancer, perhaps Ahh, such gentle humour, and nary a kitten drowned anywhere. But TCP port shenanigans are fairly frequently misunderstood, so let's talk about the very basics of MaxUserPort. NB: This is all pre-Vista behaviour - applicable from NT4 through to Windows Server 2003, including all the little NT-flavoured stops on the way. &160; MaxUserPort controls...http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/11/maxuserport-what-it-is-what-it-does-w... Profile-On-A-Stick- March 5, 2008 I read items like this with interest. After recently flattening, installing, rebuilding or migrating a bunch of machines, I started to develop my "minimum customized set" that makes my life on a Windows box more comfortable. Jeff blogged a while back about how extensive customization was best avoided. I agree: I used to be a customization freak back when I had a single computer: I molded it to my personality, drew custom icons, special desktop backgrounds, ran WindowBlinds, the works. Now, I...http://blogs.technet.com/tristank/archive/2008/03/05/profile-on-a-stick.aspx |
