One of the great new tools in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is the ICACLS command line command. While I’m very annoyed with Microsoft for not supporting the old CACLS syntax and adding the features of ICACLS (all our old CACLS-based batch files break), I have to admit that a few capabilities are very welcome. One such capability is the function used to export and import ACLs from and into objects.
OK. For about a year now I’ve been telling you all that Windows 7′s implementation of IPv6 by default will cause quite a bit of unnecessary activity on your network if you’re not actually using it yet in the infrastructure. The numbers will be in soon.
This is the first post in a new series I’m starting called the Windows 7 Tips Series. This first tip will help you improve your display for laptop computers (and possibly some desktops).

Windows 7 batch files work in the same basic way as batch files worked in Windows Vista, Windows XP and every NT-based system all the way back to Windows NT 3.1. Windows 7 batch files provide more of the same, but this is a good thing.
Is random screening really random? I don’t think so. My adventures with TSA seem to indicate otherwise.
Well, the first SQL Server training class with ASPE is going to happen in Phoenix, AZ on February 17-18, 2010. I am very excited about this class as well will be covering SQL Server 2005 and 2008 primarily. The old SQL Server 200 topics can slowly begin to fall by the way. Of course, we'll [...]
A great new technet blog post was added yesterday that provides an overview of the deployment tools for Windows 7. You can see how to deploy from media, a network share or from a WDS (Windows Deployment Services) implementation. You'll find the blog post here: http://edge.technet.com/Media/Deploying-Windows-7/ I am in the process of shooting some videos [...]
