So the Amazon Kindle DX arrived today, and so far I am very impressed with what it offers me. I tried to take some photos of different use cases that people have been asking me to test out, so read below to how the DX faired. I won’t go into all the details, since there are already many reviews on the net, but if you would like to know something specific please post a comment below.
So since we have gone from MMS –> MIIS –> ILM –> FIM, some of the components have also been renamed. Here is a post that describes some of the new names of the sub-components of FIM2010.
It’s officially out that Identity Lifecycle Manager (v2) is now Forefront Identity Manager 2010!
While searching (should I say “Kumo-ing” soon?) for a question on GALsync I came across an interesting page at the Live@EDU site related to Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM).
Here is a great book that helps in understanding the Windows Security Model, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it available online in it’s entirety…for free!
This is a great book to purchase as it is something you will refer to many times because of the depth of the knowledge. If you ever wondered more of what a SID, ACL, or Impersonation, this is a good source of information.
The .NET Developer's Guide to Windows Security by Keith Brown
Years ago when Windows 2000 was in beta I knew it was about time I would have to learn scripting in vbScript, and for years I found it very useful. Then I felt I had to learn .NET and switched to using c# for everything, as it offers many things that were not possible in VBS and now I can...
So it looks like Microsoft has released a new tagging platform and software application, known as Microsoft Tag, for on the go collection of data.
It appears that today, at midnight, Zune30’s froze, rebooted, and appear locked up. I have 2 30gb which are showing this issue, but my 80gb Zune is doing just fine.
The issue appears to have been resolved as per below.
In some ways, working with .NET code spoils you. When working with ASP.NET apps which want to use Authorization information based upon the authenticated user’s PAC contents, it’s a simple call to IsInRole(). This uses the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) in the Kerberos ticket to determine if a user is in a specific group for determining authorization.
While finally getting the time to sift through my newsreader, I wanted to post a collection of useful ILM posts that I wanted to remember for future reference:
Well it looks like Zune 3.0 is dropping the fall update for release on September 16th, and it definitely looks feature rich! The one big feature I have been asking for, which is the ability to subscribe to an artist and have it download any new content on the marketplace is finally here. No more having...
In 2005, I was amazed to be able to watch and listen to the events that were going on in the southern US during Hurricane Katrina. Quite a few people had provided webcams, news feeds and audio links of what was going on in real time in that area. So as another hurricane season is in full swing, Gustav...
Well look what Long found here . Just this weekend I was complaining (quietly…to myself…) that I was running out of room on my 80gb Zune, so maybe this is a sign. I tend to listen to live DJ sets which can be 2-6 hours long, which as you can imagine can take up a large amount of space on...
I hope it’s not often that one can relate a messaging platform from Microsoft, with a disposable tissue from the Kimberly-Clark company. It appears that “Exchange” maybe making in roads into our genericized vocabulary similar to how “Kleenex”, “Coke”, and “Tivo” are used when referring to Tissues...
