Spotlight on the Microsoft Enterprise Networking Team blog
I thought I would take the opportunity to spotlight a very cool blog for Windows Networking: the Microsoft Enterprise Networking Team blog at https://blogs.technet.com/networking/default.aspx, published by the Customer Service and Support (CSS) Enterprise Platforms Networking team.
This blog is a gold mine of great content that describes how Windows networking works and provides answers to common customer support questions and issues. Hats off to my associates on the CSS Enterprise Platforms Networking team!
Here are some examples of the content on this blog:
