MMS 2008 - Sunday - Registration Swag
Finally got here after quite a long drive. We are staying at the Venetian and it is quite nice. There are quite a few people here already. When you register you get a backpack this year.

It actually looks like it will hold up quite...
Attending MMS 2008? Yes I Am - We Are
I have gotten a ton of emails asking me if I am going to be at MMS this year and when and up until now I have held off because I was waiting for some things to finalize. But today 1E sent out an email to customer letting them know the booth number, and when Sumir, one of the founders of 1E, was going to speak. Which is right after the State of the Union, and also at the same time as Paul Thomsen is...

Build Your Own SMS Knowledge Base
The amount of storage you can get with a free online email account now is probably 10x's larger than your first hard drive. I have used Gmail since it was by invite only and it still works great the SPAM filtering works very well and I like the way the conversations only take up a single line, indicating how many in the thread and if it is unread. One thing I would like to see is folders, Stars...
Preventing The SMS Client From Installing
Yesterday Kevin C. asked a question on the SMS email list that I get several times a year. "I have a group of servers that a vendor has banned the SMS client from being installed on. We are auto-pushing the client to all servers that are discovered. I do not have the ability to change the OU the servers are in to prevent AD discovery. " There were several responses and if you have thought about doing...
MMS 2007 - Day 1 Recap
During day one it is mostly Hands on Lab (HOL), and the Expo floor opens. I was at the myITforum.com booth when the Expo opened and I have to say it was a mad dash to get the buttons for the party.

In less than 12 minutes we gave...

How I Made The myITforum.com Live Toolbar Button
If you have not looked at the Windows Live Toolbar I would suggest it for a couple reasons, first if you are still using IE6 it gives you tabbed browsing. The second is you can search the myITforum site directly from the search field in the toolbar with this button! To create the toolbar buttons you can go one of two routes. The first is to design it through their website, this is pretty straight forward...
