An invitation does not always mean you're invited
Last Wednesday I received an invitation to a seminar and luncheon on Unified Communications. Since I have spent quite a bit of time over the last two years writing, speaking and implementing Unified Communications solutions (mostly OSC 2007), I thought it would be cool to attend. But after I filled out the laborious online forms I was told, "We cannot confirm your registration at this time.” Ever happened to you? Mitchell Ashley: Converging on Microsoft

More on SQL Server Server Time Dimensions…
Server time dimensions are where a time dimension table is generated automatically on the Analysis Server instead of having to be created manually in the data warehouse. Well, what if you want the automatic generation but you still want the table to be part of the data warehouse? Enter SQL Server 2008. Susan Hanley: Essential SharePoint
To have a corporate blog or not to blog … revisited
I first wrote about the topic of whether corporate executives should have an internal blog back in February of 2007. I wish I’d seen the Dilbert cartoon on Debbie Weil's blog back then... It makes my point pretty succinctly: to be useful, an executive blog needs to be authentic. Kerrie Meyler: Managing Microsoft
Look out, Microsoft - the DOJ may have you in its sights
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked to extend the antitrust agreement against Microsoft by at least 18 months (May 2011), to give the company enough time to fix problems in technical documentation. Ross Mistry: Microsoft Backoffice
Installing SQL Server 2008 Failover Clustering on Windows Server 2008
Recently fellow SQL Server MVPs and DBAs have asked me for resources on how to install a SQL Server 2008 Failover Cluster from a Windows Server 2008 perspective. Definitely, failover clustering is a hot topic within the SQL community Giveaways and goodies: 1) A Microsoft training course from New Horizons worth up to $2,500. 2) Fifteen copies of the training video SQL Server Fundamentals for the Accidental DBA by Eric Johnson (a $69.99 value). Deadline is May 31, 2009. Entry forms can be found on the Microsoft Subnet home page. Check out Microsoft Subnet’s library for free chapters. |
