Essential Business Funcave

It’s officially unofficial…

My primary focus is shifting to Essential Business Server.

Well, not that SBS was ever really a focus for me. Still don’t know how that happened.

But it doesn’t take a badge to push information that matters, right?

First up…

Virtualizing Essential Business Server (posts tomorrow)

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

For all you troubleshooters out there…

First one to post up the right answer might get a prize from the infamous Funcave prize stash.

Unless your last name is Stanfill. Or you have a pink blog.

Memory Is Hot

Note to self…

Never yank memory out of a server that was just running multiple servers in Hyper-V and maxed out on memory.

At least not without something to put them down on…fast! I guess they don’t call them heat spreaders for nothing.

Owwwwwwwwwww. Time to go ice my tech pimp hand.

Totally worth it to see this tho…

The Hyper-V Setting Of Doom

Trust me on this one.

NEVER make this setting change on a virtual machine…

Unless you really don’t care how it runs, or if it runs at all.

Or if you just want to see what it would be like to run Small Business Server with the processing equivalent of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum…

Kicking it old school. Word.

The Best Pink Blog You Are Not Reading, But Should Be!

Seriously…

It’s pink and it’s awesome.

Not because it’s pink mind you, but because it has one of the absolute sharpest minds in the drawer powering it.

Beatrice Mulzer’s SBS TeeKlatsch

Add it to your feeds list. Bookmark it. Have a flunky print it and put it in your chair each morning. Whatever.

She’s been laying the smackdown on technological ignorance for years all over the world.

But she’s kicked up to a whole other level of thrashing when it comes to the newest stuff being released this very year.

So if you have even the slightest interest in having at least a shred of knowledge about any of the actual technology that’s coming down the pink…

Err, pike…

Ms. Mulzer’s blog is an awesome place to start.
