		<title>Deploying Applications with the Possibility of a Slow Connection (Robocopy)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of which software deployment suite you use in your organization, there is no way to avoid transferring the majority of the installation files to the local machine, whether that is a file copy or a load into memory / temporary location. For small application deployments, running them directly from a share location on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bart&#8217;s Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) Windows LiveCD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I love the old school Disk Operating System (DOS) environment, the benefits of working with DOS, even for firmware updating, is fading away. Who has a floppy drive any more? Well I do, I purchased one with my Dell laptop and even though it is the slide in type (pull out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Move Files with Folder Actions and AppleScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In relation to my article on Combining PDFs in Apple Automator, I needed to automate moving files from one location to another, with the final destination name of the file being different than the original. At first I thought this would be 5 minutes in AppleScript, until I realized, as with all programming, that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alert (Display Dialog) in AppleScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To display an alert or dialog prompt in AppleScript is easy, once you know the command string to use. For simple scripting, such as AppleScript or VBScript, I will frequently use alert dialogs to display the contents of variables. Hmm, any other reasons for a dialog prompt? Obviously, the true intent is to provide some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Startup Notification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do you know when an approved and domain-joined workstation is turned on prior to someone even signing into the workstation? Or maybe, you are asking, why would I even want to know this? For those that work with network vulnerabilities scanning, such as the product by McAfee’s Foundstone division, this may be of importance. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Combine PDFs in Apple Automator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a dream that I will become specialized in one area, with my aspirations pointed towards network engineering. However, until I get there I will be good at everything, a jack-of-all-trades that seemingly cannot understand the meaning of “no”. This type of quality creates immediate opportunity that pays well but slows growth in specialized [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Microsoft SteadyState as a Kiosk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Making a publicly accessed computer safe can be a challenging project, especially if you are concerned about what web sites are allowed. Although there are quite a few methods for making a kiosk, such as pre-engineered hardware and software, there is always a cheaper method of accomplishing the same task. I am not here to [...]]]></description>

		<title>VCB Backup Script, vcbMounter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) software receives considerable flack for lacking features or functionality, the fact that it provides you with access to the raw VMDK files is enough to alleviate all the missing functionality. As a side note, with Windows VMs, you can also use the vcbMounter program to mount the VM at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux Backup Shell Script</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again, I am pushing my knowledge limits with the Linux world. The exciting part is that, the deeper I go, the better Linux gets. Today, it is Shell scripting, which quite frankly puts DOS batch files out of business. Wait a moment, which came first?
Onward and upward, today I will share a script I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scheduling Database Backups with SQL Server Express</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this article I will present a simple way to backup active databases from SQL Express without the need for the SQL Agent or shutting down the SQL Server database engine. For those that are not aware, the SQL Agent is not available with the Express editions of SQL Server. Never-the-less, SQL Express is quite [...]]]></description>
