Visit Website

A humorous look at IT technologies and the issues faced by those of us lucky enough to design, implement, and support IT infrastructure for a living. Our resident geek, IT consultant, and Microsoft Certified Trainer Nicky demonstrates real world understanding, Nick once well respected in both London and New York as the next best thing in software development but now too lazy to work for a living, provides additional technical input as well editing the show. Finally and by every means least we have Shabih, a pharmacist of impeccable character but with no ability to understand even the most basic of computing fundamentals, helping out by providing answers to the more than predicable English obsession with bottom based medical issues.

Episode 39: Virtual Windows Clustering
Windows clustering provides ultimate fault tolerance, basically you can have two machines, called nodes, presenting a single ‘virtual’ server to the network, and this virtual server can run on any node. If one node dies, then the virtual server simply runs on the other. Testing for clustering usually involves expensive hardware but in this podcast we show you how you can set up a virtual cluster using 4 virtual machines, one domain controller, two nodes, and one VM running Linux based openfi...

Episode 37: Routing and Remote Access
Windows Server 2003 comes complete with its own routing and remote access service, funnily enough referred to as Routing and Remote Access Service, or RRAS.

In this episode we setup RRAS to receive incoming VPN connections and secure access by using a Remote Access Policy. Oh yeah, for anyone currently studying for their MCSE, RRAS and Policies form a la...
