With Exchange 2010 available on MSDN I decided to take the risk and jump straight into a migration as the only thing as fun as a well planned migration is shooting from the hip on full auto.
Exchange 2010 cannot co-exist with Exchange 2007 unless it is SP2. The Exchange 2007 SP2 install was exceptionally pain [...]
As I was updating to the latest Wordpress (2.8.6) I noticed that the About page still showed my old setup.
I moved to a shiny ‘new build’ flat a year or so ago and unfortunately my old Compaq 9000 Rack Cabinet wouldn’t have fitted up the stair case :/ so I bought a nice flat pack [...]
One of the common issues that appears when integrating a hybrid vision of Hosted Exchange with someones existing infrastructure (so not really Hosted Exchange at all!) is synchronising credentials between the Exchange Server and the local machines or for the more tech savvy the ‘hackiness’ of having disparate forests.

After some initial experimentation [...]
There are a few more technical projects in the works but since its been so long since an update I thought it best to add a quick post.
Since adding myself to Twitter (http://twitter.com/N_A_M_O_S) I’ve wrote a few bots.
The L4DStats Bot only updates stats regarding recently played games and shows top player and top [...]
Recently I’ve been looking at CleverSafe’s Storage Cloud product and as part of the research I noticed that a small scale DSNet provides more than enough IOPs for small scale mailbox installations.
I took a selection of decommissioned mid-range [Pentium Dual Core / SATA I Disks etc] Workstations to which I installed CentOS 5.0 and the [...]
I as well as many others have been enjoying Valve’s new game Left4Dead and whilst I was enjoying the Match Making system and general carnage the SysAdmin in me was thinking “dedicated server….”.
After grabbing a few more achivements (Witch and Hunter headshots ftw) I set up a dedicated server for Left4Dead and let it run [...]
When I heard the news that McColo had been pulled I wondered if we’d actually see a drop in Hostile traffic and Spam.
Turns out that there has been a massive drop in Spam levels coming through some of the filters I have dotted around the place.
C&C or Spam Hosts?
I wrote a little script to see [...]
