IIS 6.0 can be a tricky beast to configure and get to know. If you are not a developer or an admin then you probably don't know that much about this mysterious service that is in Windows Server 2003. In this broadcast we are going to answer some of the most asked questions about IIS 6.0.

Do you have a wireless network in your work or at home? What do you know about the different authentication protocols? Is a wired network better than a wireless? What are the advantages and disadvantages of wires? In this broadcast we are exploring wireless and comparing it to wired networks.

NAT has been around for a little while. But do you really understand what the purpose of this service and what are the difference between ICS and NAT? Well in this broadcast we are going to examine both NAT and ICS.

If you've ever deployed Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 Server, you probably know that Microsoft designed those products to be unsecure by default. Although Microsoft has provided many security mechanisms, it's been up to you to implement them. But when Microsoft released Windows 2003 Server, the company switched philosophies. The new philosophy is that the server should be secure by default. This broadcast will cover some well needed tips.

Join Michael Krout in this radio show on IAS best practices. IAS is the basis of call accounting within a RRAS environment. This broadcast provides best practices for implementing and configuring IAS.

You may have wondered why certain courses or learning environments work better for you. There may have been times where the way something was presented to you lasted much longer than others. Well, there may be underlying reasons for that: Multiple Intelligences. Sometimes an overused term or one throw around with not a great appreciation of why. In this GoGogh Radio Show, Neal L. Rowland, discusses the 7 intelligences and opens the door to the potential they may have for you and your learning.

In a previous GoGogh Radio Show, Neal L. Rowland discussed the 5 Major Aspects of Service Design. In this GoGogh Radio Show, he takes the discussion a little further. We all know there are risks and challenges in managing an IT service. Working to overcome or within those challenges prepares us to deliver the best IT service we possibly can. To accomplish this, it takes awareness. Have a listen. Get yourself thinking. And then start seeing what can be done in your IT Service organization.

In this radio show, we talk about how to deliver high service availability by eliminating or minimizing the causes of unplanned VM down time. Unplanned down time is caused by the failure of a server. By virtualizing workloads, we can minimize or eliminate unplanned VM down time by using VMware High Availability clusters to reassign VMs to new hosts and boot them up - automatically whenever a physical host fails By employing VMware Fault Tolerence, we can eliminate unplanned down time completely. Fault Tolerence duplicates a running VM in real time. If the host running the Fault Tolerent VM fails, the duplicate FT VM is simply scheduled to run on a secondary ESX server. The cut over completes with no loss in service and no loss of I/Os or data.

This radio show talks about the things you need to know about virtualization but won't find in the VMware vSphere Administrator's guides.Topics include: - what to virtualize and what not to virtualize - one to one virtualization - CPU, memory network and disk considerations - Security concerns in a virtual environment

In this radio show, Larry Karnis will be discussing backing up virtual machines. He explains the additional concerns that need to be considered when using traditional network based back up tools. Laryy will also introduce VMware Consolidated Back Up for hot, consistent, reliable backups of running virtual machines.

Why is JDBC an industry standard? Join Kevin Flanagan as he discusses JDBC and its importance in database independent connectivity to enterprise data in heterogeneous environments.

What is Messaging and how does Java Messaging Service support it? Join Kevin Flanagan as he presents an introduction to loosely coupled messaging and its two primary models - point-to-point (queuing) and publish/subscribe (pub/sub). Learn how JMS provides a common interface to many messaging providers.

A brief introduction to the history of RDBMS concepts and technology. Join Kevin Flanagan as he outlines the development of RDBMS from its foundations in mathematical set theory and the major problems that it attempts to resolve such as data redundancy.

A short overview of the Extensible Markup Language. Join Kevin Flanagan as he discusses what XML is, the technologies from which it developed, and it's uses in areas such as cross platform data transfer, Java EE deployment, and Web Services.

Application servers use XML-based files to configure their general interface to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and hence to the outside world. JBoss has a couple of specific descriptors that are used to configure application deployment. Join Mike Simpson as he explores the special features of JBoss’ deployment descriptors on “JBoss and Descriptors.”
