A customer is migrating his mail environment form Lotus Notes to Google Apps. Google Apps is a paid version of GMail.
The people from Google, that are advising us during this transition, advised us to use Google Chrome. We will use Google Chrome only for Google Apps, as it is not compatible with other web based application the customer is using.
When you are downloading and installing the default version of Google Chrome you will find out that this version is not compatible with Terminal Server. It installs itself in the user profile of the user that is preforming the installation. The exact location is: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google.
Needles to say that this will not work on a multi user environment.
I wanted to know if a certain server had a Battery Backed Write Cache module (BBWC) on it’s array controller.
I suspected it did not, but I had to be sure. Since this server was running production I couldn’t open (Visual Inspection) or reboot it.
The server didn’t have Insight Agents installed so I couldn’t query it via iLO or the Insight Agents webpage either.
I knew that when you do a full install of the array controller bundled software it comes with a commandline tool, hpacucli.exe.

The kids where impressed by the size of the trucks and what the will take with them on the "road" at the same time the questioned them self’s how a bike rider will accomplices this when he (or she) is in the middle of nowhere! So Dakar has two new supporter especially Hans Jos Liefhebber because he rides the bike with the company logo where I work for!
On a customers site we moved an application database from the central SQL server to the same server that also hosts this application back-end. The application vendor suggested this step due to performance issues we are experiencing during the data import process.
The customer did not have enough SQL licenses to support a second full SQL installation, so to make this work we have installed the free SQL 2005 Express version. This works fine and the application performance during the import process and during working hours has improved. A down side for using the free version of SQL server is that Database backups can’t be performed from the SQL management suite.

For a script I needed to create an AQS (Advanced Query Syntax) Query that contained a date range.
An example of such is a range is: date:11/05/04..11/10/04

In my example I wanted to match any data that is 30 days or older so let’s do this in PowerShell:
