Just read the blog post of the Windows team here and I think the new logo (if it will be the selected design in the end) shows the changes in Windows 8. It's easy to think that Windows 8 will be Windows 7 part 2 or Vista part 3. But it will soon be clear that this will be a change just as big or bigger than XP to Vista. The comment why do you use a flag when it's called Windows. Great idea

You can find a real nice survival guide for the entire System Center 2012 package here For sure this will be the greates every release of System Center products, and most of the product comes with the greates upgrade ever. So as an Microsoft infrastructur guy there will be lots of excitement ahead.

Sadly to little time to cover all I wanted, but hopefully people got an insight to MDT.

NO, I do not have a sick fetish (at last not one including Hyper-V). But I do alot of demoing on my laptop and love to use Hyper-V for that. This means that I cannot use an ordinary Windows 7 client installation, we have to wait for Windows 8 for Hyper-V to be supported in the client operatin system. I have been using Windows Server as my laptop OS for quite some time now and the only thing I

Looking at the screen shoots published at http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-8-screenshots-of-build-8820-leak-new-info-surfaces it looks like we are not getting the ordinary start menu back.

I am a happy user of my Samsung Omni 7, especially after the Mango update and Spotify got available. It is actually the smart phone I have had for the longest period (about 18 months, and no immediate plan to replace it). It's robust and stabile. But basically a phone is just a tool to communicate, and I have never been that interested in phones as long as I can call and have descent Exchange

Needed to be sure that my previous posting also worked in Vmware, so I asked my excellent new colleague Christian Mohn the vNinja and he tested it out. Everything works just like in my posting, but of course it's not that easy in Vmware ;-) You just need to create a virtual floppy and the vNinja did of course create a blog post explaining how to do it. The blog are here

Just for testing it could be nice to run Bitlocker on a virtual Windows. But as everybody knows (or should know), you need TPM or a USB stick to be able to run Bitlocker encryption on the disk. Or do we? We can actually use anykind of removable disk, not only USB stick, and a virtual floppy will do the trick. So we just need to create a virtual floppy in our virtualization software. I use

Using a touch device the new metro interface will be a clear improvement. And the idea behinde replacing the old "Start Menu" with the "Start Sceen" are logical, because the "Start Menu" is not "finger friendly" on a touch device. But what the heck are it doing on the server version and why can't I make the start button act like it did before on my laptop without touch screen???

Lots of new cool features are coming with the new version of  Windows, and it might be interesting to test it out now, even if it’s just an developer preview version that are out now. Of course you can try it out virtual (and if you have Windows 8 installed you can use the Hyper-V role to test out..eh, okay, that’s one of the new features in Windows 8). But it’s always better to test out new

Working with the management console for SCCM on the server might be a slow experience, and often it's not a sign for bad performance on the sever itself (even though it might be). The main reason are that your session are a foreground session, and you will then have low priority on the server system since it as default are setup to prioritize background sessions. This is how it should be on a

Last week I blogged about cover art, this week I remove the art bit and go into cover versions. Faith Healer Cover versions can some times make you cry. Sadly most of the times it's because it kills a great song like when like Brittany Spears did "I love Rock'N Roll" (Don't worry, the link goes to Joan Jett & The Blackhearts original version). But sometimes you just cry of happiness like when

As a format for music I really don't miss it at all, even though there is people claiming to the sound quality, which was superior (most notable in old recordings that was not made for the digital format). But the thing missing with todays music purchases are the visual pleasures. Coming home with a brand new LP was a 2 part deligth, the

Working in the virtual world its often easier to just create an iso file to move data/tools/etc. to the VM's, but Windows 7 can only burn iso files, not create them. (Windows 8 can mount them to) Most free programs have the possibility to either burn or mount them, again not create. Programs that can create ISO files are often complex and/or not free. So today I just installed a cd burner

The possibility to control group policies with wmi filers have been around for quite a while, but still I see companies doing weird stuff with logon script instead of using it. In fact most companies I am visiting don’t know how to use it, and therefor they don’t. And in many cases running group policies that are not intended for the computer can create serious problems. Instead of using wmi

Last night (first day of Build) showed alot of cool features in Windows 8 the client, but great news about the server version was also documented in some of the documentation for the client. On of the realy cool new features are that Active Directory will now take over the role of the KMS server and activate Windows 8 client and its also compatible with Windows 7. Great news, but it did not say

Because of slow baby arrival I was asked to do a SCSM session on tomorrows TechDays in Norway. Looking through the slides its clear the session was demo focused, so I had to reject since I didn't have a lab enviroment for that up and running. But the great news is that I will instead hold a session on Group Policy, Fine-Grained Password Policies, wmi filters and stuff :-)

Just sitting playing around with ntdsutil and the possibility to change the directory service restore mode password. This is a feature that most companies forget, or are not aware of. If you dont know the password for the domain controllers you cant restore the Active Directory database, remember that domain controllers don't have local user database?. So the password you typed in during domain
