		<description><![CDATA[Everywhere I have ever worked has been a Dell, Cisco and Microsoft shop.  We have used Dell for our servers, Cisco for our networking equipment and Microsoft for our OS and a lot of our other software.  This is a common model among a lot of Medium to Large businesses but I truly feel that Cisco is changing that model to a Cisco and Microsoft shop with their UCS blade chassis. I didn't know a whole lot about the UCS blade chassis until I was able to actually work with one and see what it was capable of. In this article below I will go over what Cisco UCS is, the benefits, and some of the problems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Direct Access comes into play, this new software that only works with Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate will allow remote users to be connected without having to launch a VPN client.  If they have internet access they can connect to the business network. Additionally you can even run health checks against remote users laptops to make sure that they meet business security specifications before they are allowed to connect.

So I just threw a lot of information out there and you are probably saying "What?" or "WOW how does this work?" or maybe even "Is this secure?" Well I plan on covering all of that here shortly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One problem I have always run into with Virtual machines on your personal computer as a test environment is that you can't include the Cisco configs in the environment or even setup routing between VMs.  Your VMs have to be on the same network to talk or you have to install an additional server as a "Routing and Remote Access" server. Well there is a way around this using GNS3 and VirtualBox together as if they were meant to work together.  In this article I will explain how to setup your virtual network in GNS3 and then attach your Virtual Machines to it in VirtualBox.  It really is very simple.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sun's VirtualBox is a free virtualization program that you can install on as many computers or servers as you like, you just can't do an automated deployment of it without purchasing a license.  But you can install it on as many machines as you would like as long as you manually install it.
VirtualBox will run in MAC OS, Linux and Windows which makes it a very viable option for doing virtualization without spending a whole log of money.  There are a few places where VirtualBox lacks when it comes to virtualization that the more expensive options have.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All,

I know I have been MIA for a few months and had no recent posts but I will hopefully be back now.  Not to get into to much detail about my absence, I quit my job for a new job at a larger company with new technology. My first two months at my new job have been awesome and my first project has been re-wiring the entire data center so I have been pretty busy.  But along with this new job and new responsibilties comes new knowledge and new technology I can blog about and share with everyone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good keyword strategy should be one of your first if not your first part to a good SEO plan. Defining what keywords you want to target is very crucial and should never be skipped. If you skip defining what keywords you want to target then you are just going to be shooting in the dark and have no real direction which will give you very low traffic or traffic that is not your target audience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people feel that choosing a good domain name is easy to do, simply choose your business name as the web site URL. This option is most of the time true and for most brick and mortor businesses the best option. But unless you business name is rich in the keywords your target customers are looking for you are not likly going to rank very easily on the search engines. Most of the time I suggest someone looking to rank high in search engines to use a keyword rich domain name. But there are a few things you need to consider which I will discuss in this article.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Group Policy became very useful with the launch of Windows server 2000 and as more and more businesses were moving away from the workgroup environment and into the domain environment. Group Policy gave network administrators a way to control settings on all computers and servers that exsist within there network domain. Over the years group policy has evolved and become very customizable where each OU within Active Directory can have its own group policy. So if you need to hadle the computers within the accounting department different than the computers in the maintenance department, group policy can do this. For the purposes of this article I will be discussing the newest version which is what is included in Windows Server 2008 64-bit. Although there are not a whole lot of changes (except the look) betweeen Server 2003 and Server 2008 I am willing to do a Server 2003 Group Policy article if enough people would like to see it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most web Designers now a days use expensive programs like Adobe Dreamweaver or Adobe Fireworks to create their web sites. Well these programs have a lot of functionality but they also have heavy price tag as well. As a starting out web designer I did not have access to programs like this until I had designed a couple sites. So I needed a way I could create my Web Designs with what I had when I started and that was a Laptop with Windows XP, an internet connection, and the willingness to learn. What I needed was a way I could layout the way I wanted my web page to look and then extract parts of the images for my web site.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who do not know what a MAC address is, it is the burned in address that every networking piece of equipment has that is unique. No two pieces of equipment should every have the same MAC address. There are many reasons someone might want to change the MAC address of the network card or wireless card. Maybe they are trying to connect to someone's wireless network that only allows certain MAC addresses. You can also change your MAC address to test your own security settings, and even DHCP settings. So there are many reasons why you might want to change your MAC address.]]></description>
