My TechEd Notes

Autor brendon | 14.09.2009 | Category Rant, TechStuff

Well auTechEd was a blast last week. So much information and so little implementation time!!

I tried to attend most Security/ Windows Phone 6.5/ Office Communications Server /other Fun sessions. The best by far was the Mobile Smackdown which beat Dugie’s and Lilia’s demo’s ONLY because of the free swag they threw at us.

I need to record my notes somewhere and my brain has an woeful retention policy… So here they are.

Be warned, these are my raw notes from the sessions. I will go through and clean these up over time. Don’t expect them to make any sense.

Show your Nerd-iness

Autor brendon | 14.09.2009 | Category Rant

Ever wanted to show how much of a nerd you are?? Such as posting text as binary value?? Interestingly Google and Bing don’t support this as a direct conversion like units or sums.

Here is one awesome little site that does, so head over and share the “01101110011001010111001001100100” – “011010010110111001100101011100110111001100100001″

VMWare VConverter Recommendations

Autor brendon | 09.09.2009 | Category TechStuff, Virtualization

While onsite doing work for a customer in Northern Queensland  I had to migrate several hosts into an ESXi 4.0 device.

The VConverter process is reasonably simple and strait forward however it just wouldn’t import a few of the machines that was planned. In the end, one of the guys from our office suggested the following steps and URL to import the host successfully.

The URL with useful commands and configuration notes is: http://vsphere-land.com/tips-tricks/converter-tips

When deploying a CITRIX Repeater (formally known as WANScaler) using WCCP with a cisco router we found that the configuration on the KB isn’t quite right. Read on for the configuration.
