There’s a mystery about early Exchange 2010 deployments: despite the much-publicized removal of single instance storage, sizes of Exchange 2010 databases have not increased. The same message has trickling back from all quarters, as businesses go live: after moving mailboxes, database sizes in Exchange 2010 are roughly the same as they were in Exchange 2007.

Don’t Tear your Hair Out over Access to Cisco Devices

I just about tore my hair out the other night trying to find the right equipment to connect up to a small Cisco 1721 router. I wanted to get the afore mentioned router configured for some training I was doing. The problem of course being that I lacked a PC with any COM ports to connect the Cisco console cable up to. Just to think a few years ago I had rejoiced when motherboard manufacturers ceased supplying COM ports on their boards and replaced them with extra USB ports.
