Lapse in time.

Okay, so it's been a while since my last post. Between work and trying to move a household of my mom's stuff into an apartment I've been pretty busy.

In trying to reschedule the 70-294 exam I had the joy of finding that Prometric had not used my exisiting MCP ID, rather they created a new one. Now I'm going through the pains of trying to get Microsoft to merge them so I can re-schedule the exam and get going again.

I'm also learning the joys of Microsoft hot fixes, as I came to find out after setting up a new Active Directory site on our production forest. Several dcdiag /e tests later and I was wondering what the heck happend. Turns out it's a known bug in a 2003 functional forest (KB832628). (If you are not one of the lucky one's with a way to obtain the fix, leave a message in the blog and I'll help you out.)

I am getting am ISTG error trying to do a dcdiag on a 3k3 server. Trying to find the hotfix without haveing to call up microsoft and do their whole credit card stuff. Was wondering how I would obtain the patch from you.
Also I feel your pain on your exam. I have had cold feet myself stepping up to the plate to take them. I just need to go ahead and do it sooner or later.
