First, you should learn to spell those words which will be on your resume’. I’m not trying to be a smart-***, but if you applied to me for a job and repeatedly mis-spelled "intern" (NOT "inturn") you would find your application in the trash. I can’t tell you how often people limit themselves by not making the effort to eliminate these mistakes. Not everyone can spell, but everyone can use a spell checker, a dictionary, and m-w.com . Common grammatical errors, such as the use of adjectives when adverbs are called for, can also be deal killers.]]>

How to Choose a Training Centerhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/training-and-certification2/how-to-choose-a-training-center#commentsAnchorSun, 28 Dec 2003 23:42:06 GMT
I am considering going to get my A+, and MCSE certifications. I have no prior work experience in this field, but am paying around $7,000 for a 6 month school that will give me an inturn, and placement if needed. I have friends in Microsoft who encourage me to do this. I guess what my question is, will I get a job with these certifications at microsoft with the "inturn" as experience, and what else can I do to make myself more desireable to a company so that I can at least get my foot in the door with no real work experience?]]>

Security Permissions in the Registryhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/system-policies/security-permissions-in-the-registry#commentsAnchorFri, 31 Oct 2003 04:31:17 GMT
This article was very useful to me, but I need to get the complete list of registry permission binary numbers. The MS KB245031, KB264584 and KB237697 shows some of this numbers but I need to get all. Do you have any idea where I can find it ?]]>

You mention error 32 (which I am seeing on Windows 2000 when running sysdiff /diff), but I see not info on how to exclude these files and haven’t had much success in finding this info. Any ideas would be appreciated!]]>

12 Steps to Cloning Windows NT Systems with SYSDIFF.EXEhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/systems-administrator/12-steps-to-cloning-windows-nt-systems-with-sysdiff-exe#commentsAnchorTue, 23 Apr 2002 07:31:52 GMT
Hi there, I saw your your 12 Steps on Cloning an NT installation. I have a few questions: To start from the beginning, I have created a multiboot cd that boots between windows professional, windows server and windows advanced server and integrated SP 2 to each and used the setupmgr to create an unattended.txt file that I renamed to winnt.sif and copied onto my stiffy to use when I choose to boot windows 2000 server. So now I have a unattended setup as well, and can change the criteria such as names and ip addresses etc for different installations. I want to know if it can be possible to use such a cd, and create an &oem% directory off it and have setup read from that as the distributed directory instead of a network share if I understand correctly. It would be great if that’s possible, if so, what do I do. I am a bit confused with your explanation on this 12 steps to cloning a winnt installation, I wonder what you mean with master system and server. The way I understand this is that you say I have to have 2 seperate computers, one with a preinstalled windows system on it that will be snapshotted and diffed I think the master system, and the other the server that will have shares to the sysdiff.exe utility that will snapshot the master system. I am not sure if I understand you correct here, maybe I’m to stupid, but can you come down to earth and explain in more detail as to what on earth exactly you mean. Maybe I’m not understanding you correct. Maybe I’m havin the entire wrong idea, but my thinking is to have applications installed during the windows installation process without my interaction. Is this what you have explained, or am I on the wrong track. If I’m right, then can I do this with the cd I explained above by using that &oem& directory with that cmdlines.txt or not. In other words, can I use this way that you try to describe with sysdiff to begin a clean install from scratch, and that I will have certain applications installed as part of the windows installation process ? That’s it, I hope it made sence. Hope to hear form you soon. ]]>

12 Steps to Cloning Windows NT Systems with SYSDIFF.EXEhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/systems-administrator/12-steps-to-cloning-windows-nt-systems-with-sysdiff-exe#commentsAnchorFri, 13 Aug 1999 11:00:17 GMT
I found Clayton Johnson’s August article, “12 Steps to Cloning Windows NT Systems with SYSDIFF.EXE,” very useful. The article helped us set up about 200 NT workstations in our new library at Wayne State University. Unfortunately, I found a small but crucial syntax error. The error appears in the syntax on page 158, step 12:

sysdiff /m /apply X:\after.img

With this syntax, the procedure does not work. However, it does work as:

sysdiff /apply /m X:\after.img

Thank you for the correction. We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Experience Is What Countshttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/training-and-certification2/experience-is-what-counts#commentsAnchorTue, 10 Aug 1999 15:20:42 GMT
I’m responding to Clayton Johnson’s March article, “Experience Is What Counts.” The title of this article is correct; however, the author’s attitude toward Microsoft certification is immature. In the opening paragraphs, Mr. Johnson wrote, “As a result, Microsoft has set a benchmark that basically says, ‘If you know this much, we’ll give you the certification.’” Well, what else is a certification, diploma, or degree based on? What you know is the point. Right now the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) does mean a great deal, and the only way to get it is by taking those darn tests that set the benchmark. After I cooled off from reading the introduction of Mr. Johnson’s article, I did enjoy the remainder of it; however, I felt that the advice was common practice if you intend to be successful in any field.
