The Lazy Admin has not been as lazy as he seems.
I have been hard at work writing on all sorts of projects that unfortunately take away from my TLA writing time. I just wanted to let everyone know that a good deal of the stuff I have worked on is now available!
Here are some of the projects.
1) The Microsoft Solutions Accelerator team has been hard at work writing amazing guidance documents about Windows Servers architectures . They are just the sort of compact to the point document Lazy Admin's everywhere will appreciate.
You can check out the guides online at: www.microsoft.com/ipd or download them at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD3921FB-8224-4681-9064-075FDF042B0C&displaylang=en
The guides also come with a nifty PowerPoint presentation so after you finish learning about architecture of these services you can present them to all your great new knowledge to your colleagues.
2) I have also contributed on a book about Microsoft Forefront technologies: now available on Amazon and books stores
3) I have also been involved with The Vista Spring Board program, This is a really great resource for ITpros looking to get information about Windows Vista. The site is organized so that you can get the information you need at the right level you need it. So if you just haven't had time to even look at Vista check out the Discovery section. Then once you have a good handle on the basic elements of Vista check out the wealth of information in the Explore section including dozens of hands on labs to get you up to speed on all the new stuff in Vista. Finally there is deep dive content available on how to pilot Vista, and finally role it out. Wether you manage 5 PCs or 50 000 this site has something for you!
Now that we are all caught up, The TLA posts should be picking up. If you have any new tips, or ideas for a post please email them to tlatopic@thelazyadmin.com. For the most part I'm going to cover that new Server operating system this little company called Microsoft just released :)
Have a great Week.
