The September 2007 issue of TechNet Magazine is now available online at www.technetmagazine.com/issues/2007/09/.

We begin this month with a great article about Deploying Windows Vista with BDD 2007 by Michael Niehaus. Michael is also the author of our still-popular 10 Things You Need to Know about Deploying Windows Vista. If you're planning a Windows Vista deployment in your organization, definitely give these articles a read. In continuing Windows Vista coverage, Christine Fok also joins us this month to discuss Windows Vista Backup Technologies.

Moving on to Windows Server coverage, Laura Hunter brings us 11 Essential Tools for Managing Active Directory. Gil Kirkpatrick also returns this month with his usual skill and technical depth, taking us through the process of Reanimating Active Directory Tombstone Objects.

Last but not least, Alan Maddison joins us with a look at Connecting Users with Office Communications Server 2007.

In addition, you'll find all of our regular columns including Security Watch (where this month, Jesper Johansson discusses UAC), Windows PowerShell with Don Jones, Hey, Scripting Guy!, The Cable Guy, The Desktop Files, Windows Confidential with Raymond Chen, and more - all available at www.technetmagazine.com.
