This question comes up a lot: “I have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, but not Acrobat Professional – can I still create a password-protected PDF? I don’t feel like paying $360 for Acrobat Professional just for the ability to do encryption or password protection.” The short answer is ‘yes’, but you’ll need another program to [...]

SBS 2008 Unleashed Book
November 26, 2008
Back in 2005 I was privileged to be one of the co-authors of “Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Unleashed”.

Are you interested in setting up a Windows Mobile device with SBS, but just haven’t gotten around to doing it? If so, you’re not alone.

Windows Mobile 6 Customer Improvement Program
January 29, 2008
While troubleshooting Exchange Active Sync for a client today, I spun up a WM6 virtual Pocket PC to test the certificate & server settings. After troubleshooting was complete, I noticed a pop-up for the Customer Experience Improvement Program. For most folks with WM6 this is a big ‘whoop-dee-doo’, but since I’m still on WM5 with [...]
Video – Seam Carving and Liquid Rescale
November 28, 2007

Installing WSS v3 on a Member Server in an SBS Network
September 24, 2007
If you’ve got a member server in your SBS network (especially if that server is a beefy SQL box) it may make sense from a performance standpoint to install Windows SharePoint Services version 3 on the member server instead of directly on the SBS box. This is actually a pretty straight-forward process, but in case [...]
