Every time I do an Exchange 2000/2003 to Exchange 2007 transition I have to run the same shell commands at the end to upgrade the default Email Address Policy, Address Lists, and Global Address List. So I wrote this script to do it automatically. To use the script copy this code into Notepad and save […]

I’m sure Netlimiter is a fine application for throttling your Bittorrent client so you can steal music and movies while still leaving enough bandwidth to watch Youtube clips and IM your friends about what music and movies you’re stealing and which Youtube clips you’re LOLing at. But it does not belong on Exchange servers. Or […]
