New myITforum.com Poll: Are you using Novell in your organization?

Participate here:

Wow -- do you realize how effective the forums are?

myITforum.com has a huge repository of articles, downloads, tutorials, etc., etc., to help you with managing your environment.  But, if you’re a myITforum.com lister, you may be missing out on a world of content – all supplied by myITforum.com members.

Our forums have a huge amount of content.  Looking through the forums today, I’m amazed at the volume of excellent and complete answers to many of the problems you are facing in your daily job.

If you have a problem, try Searching the forums database.  I bet you find an answer pretty quickly.

 

Did you know you can take myITforum.com TV with you?

We provide a small button (looks like a down arrow) at the bottom of each video and PodCast on myITforum.com TV. 

DownloadArros.jpg

When you click the button, Windows Media player starts outside of the web browser, allowing you to do a File-Save As…

This way you can transfer the downloaded file to a MP3 player (some of the PodCast are in .wma format) or video device and take the video or PodCast with you to listen at home, on the train, in the car, etc.  Pretty neat.

For example, I’m listening to the Intro to SCCM 2007 PodCast on my Zune right now.  It’s a great PodCast to tell you all about ConfigMgr and what changed between SMS 2003 and ConfigMgr.  I understand that sometimes it’s just easier to learn when you can hear it instead of read it on a web page.
