HYBRID CLOUDS COME OF AGE:

One of the most exciting new technologies to evolve from the Internet, intranets and extranets is cloud computing. Business enterprises are now beginning to implement the concept despite initial concerns. With cloud computing databases, applications, and services can be accessed and shared by researchers and strategic partners across multiple platforms.

Back in the days of Windows NT, the roaming profile was all the rage. A user could go to the office and work at his own computer, using the network, e-mail, files, and other resources. If, for some reason, that user has to switch to another workstation temporarily, he logs on to a different computer and Windows downloads the settings for his individual profile; just as if he were sitting at his own computer.

IPv6: Where to begin?

Most veteran IT types (including me) are leery when it comes to any kind of change; even thinking about converting networks to IPv6 seems like a bone-chilling bad dream. In order to make the transformation (sorry, it’s coming) easier, I’d like to initiate a dialogue about Internet Protocol version six (IPv6). My ultimate goal is to help everyone (me too) feel comfortable with IPv6.

A deeper look into the world of multithreading and highlighting some ways which can alleviate some of the difficulties developing a well threaded application.

No one wants it to happen but, sooner or later, you will experience a router crash. When you do, you will want to be prepared to save that critical router memory information in order to find out why the router crashed and prevent future crashes. To do this, you need to configure your router to store core dump information in the event of a crash. Let’s find out what a core dump is, how it can help you, and how you can configure your router to store these important files for analysis.

What is a core dump?

<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>As cool and handy as the concept of a wireless network is, it can very rapidly get frustrating. This happens primarily because of signal strength issues, which in turn, affects your browsing and downloading speeds. And before you know it, you just simply aren’t getting as fast of a speed in the bedroom as you are in the living room. Well, today I will take you through an informative and useful article about improving your home wireless network. Here we go! </FONT></P>

Over the last several parts of this article series, I have talked a lot about the inner workings of the Active Directory. In this article, I want to switch gears and show you what all of this information has to do with running a network.

Windows Server 2003 comes with several different tools used for managing the Active Directory. The Active Directory management tool that you will use most often for day-to-day management tasks is the Active Directory Users and Computers console. As the name implies, this console is used to create, manage, and delete user and computer accounts.

In the previous part of this article series, I explained that the LDAP protocol references objects in the Active Directory by their distinguished name, and that every object in the directory has its own unique distinguished name. In this article, I want to continue the discussion by explaining how distinguished names work.
