UPDATE: Omg, awesome! Use PowerShell's Reset-ComputerMachinePassword, then reboot. Hat tip: Don't Rejoin to Fix. Don't do what I did below. Just run Reset-ComputerMachinePassword in PowerShell and reboot. Recently, my workstation was suddenly unable to logon to my Windows 2008 domain. After entering my domain username …

Recently, I used my Windows-based domain's Enterprise Root Certification Authority to secure my subversion repository that is hosted on an Apache-based server. The process was rather straight-forward and relatively fast -- especially because I skipped over all of the file transfers and just used vi/notepad to …

I finally took the plunge and installed Windows 7 on my Dell Netbook (Inspiron mini iM10-008B). I originally bought the Dell to make it into a Hackbook but after I realized how time-intensive the initial setup may be, I looked to installing Win 7 for instant newness gratification. Initially, I was going to install the …

Some things just belong on Linux. Like Subversion and Apache, for instance. I've seen the ghetto workarounds for Windows-based Apache installs and no thanks -- I'd much rather waste my time on ghetto SharePoint workarounds. But I sure do like the way Windows-based web servers such as IIS seamlessly and securely …

This was ridiculous. Since apache-devel isn't available in SLES (and I do understand why, but give me the option at least!), I had to sync up one of my SLES machines to an OpenSuSE repository and get all of my necessary packages required to compile mod_auth_pam. I was required to downgrade quite a few packages, but …

Thank Science for SuSE Linux Enterprise 11; it's made this process relatively easy. SLES 10 SP2 was giving me a headache because of some Windows 2008 based Active Directory authentication issues but upgrading SLES 11 took care of all that. First thing is first, setup samba to authenticate to AD. Next, install the …

Well that couldn't have been easier! Here's all it takes to authenticate SLES 11 to Windows Server 2008 based Active Directory. During the initial install of SLES, I performed the following: Selected samba-client and winbind during the software installer phase Added my domain's DNS servers to the intitial network …

Recently, we migrated a web application to a SharePoint server. The web application is a custom built ASP/ASPX app that supports Integrated Windows Authentication. We were able to run the application successfully using Anonymous Access but we were unable to authenticate from remote computers when Anonymous Access was …

Today I attacked my 2008 technical to do list and setup a subversion server for backups/source control. It was actually pretty darn easy in SUSE 10.3. After I got it going, I wondered if I could have it automatically authenticate against my HOME domain. So, using SuSE's menu driven interface YaST, I easily added my …
