Greyed out Domain Controllers

I spent a while searching around for this gem. Basically the domain controllers don’t trust the local system account so you have to run the HSLockdown.exe tool. I found this blog article that explains:

NetApp DS4243 Disk Shelves

Finally SAS disk shelves from NetApp. Also in a 24 drive configuration.

Update: Looks like these will ship with new systems only starting December (and by new systems, it seems maybe only the FAS-3170s). General availability will come a few months later.

Mint.com

I have got to say, mint.com is one of the best tools i’ve used in a long time. I used quicken online for a little while and then found if I stopped visiting the site that it would stop pulling transactions. The mint.com site continues to grab them even if I’ve been idle for a month or two. There are some features that are missing (I haven’t figured out how to mark a transaction as a reoccuring bill for tracking) but overall it’s a great tool and I recommend anyone looking for a financial management tool to spend some time setting this one up.

Exciting. I’m thinking about installing this on a FAS-3070 next week. Hopefully have some screenshots. Since it’s generally available on the NOW site you should be able to find it.
