Yesterday's Longhorn Academy follow up

  • Article

My thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's Longhorn Academy - both James and I really enjoyed delivering it.

I took away a couple of actions:

  • The link to the video I showed at the break is: https://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129
  • Using the Install From Media option during a dcpromo would require the complete directory database to be on the media (passwords and all).
  • My thanks to Michael Maher - he found this tool for managing Fine Grained Password Policies.
  • I'm still looking into the auditing of GPO edits question.  You can do it today with the tools in the Desktop Optimisation Pack (the tool used to be GPO Vault - it audits all changes and provides rollback).  I'm trying to find out if it's natively in 2008.

I'll post again when I have the answer (won't be next week - I'm on holiday).
