In case you are fighting with connections strings, I found very interesting site today. It can help you to build syntax not only for well-known DBs (like SQL), but also to more exotic ones.

Certified Microsoft Scripter? I vote for it. Read more at The Energized Tech‘s Call to the Community for MCTS Scripting Certification

For years, I was trying over and over to get used to Microsoft Forums… I appeared there few times, however abandoned it after a while.

Major reason was that I either had to use web interface or Outlook Express to access it – web interface was not really user-friendly and NNTP was usually blocked at proxy servers, so I always left MS forums pretty soon…

Ok, I am sure that everyone around knows about this and is using it for many years, but I just discovered one really nice feature at Microsoft Forums – it supports RSS feeds

I am not sure when this feature was added, but FINALLY I can start being active at MS forums

These days, the Login Consultants are introducing their free scripting framework Solution4 (S4) that automates the setup and management of Citrix Presentation Server environments. With S4 the Login Consultants provide an impressive example how to use Windows Shell Script (Batch Files) in order to realize a complex automation solution.

Solution4 is more than a couple of scripts, it is considered as a scripting framework that helps to realize the setup and management of a Citrix Presentation Server environment in a highly efficient manner.

You can use S4 to automatically…

• … create an OU stucture with groups, and administrative accounts
• … install and configure Citrix Presentation Server
• … install and configure applications
• … restrict application access (based on NTFS security)
• … publish applications
• … manage user profiles and the user desktop
• … configure CMC settings

Let me refer to Brian Madden elaborating on S4: Login Consultants releases a massive framework that can automate pretty much everything
