i didn't know about these so i guess i might be “behind the curve” but i thought i'd point you to some sharepoint migration tools that are available on gotdotnet.

some include a sts2wss tool and others.

amazing...as if the guy doesn't have enough money, ben affleck wins the commerce casino poker championship...

c'mon ben...give the “regular” people a chance...or maybe you're just trying to get on tv because your j-lo video won't be playing much anymore...

hmm...note to self: if you ever date a famous person...don't tape any aspect of it...not just the “paris hilton” moments...none of it...i wonder what ben's new girlfriend thinks when seeing the bennifer moments on mtv...

okay, so what happens when you get the call that a netadmin changed the local security policy and they can't get in anymore.

no problem, log into another machine and terminal service in, right?

“interactive logon denied by local policy” -- uh oh.

okay, manage the machine (not part of a domain) remotely and add a new user that is in a different group and grant remote login rights.

“logon denied” -- hmmm...uh oh.

me: “did you change the policy to Everyone?”
netadmin: “i think so”
me: uh-oh.

thanks to a little googling and the resource kit i was able to find something i wasn't aware of before...the ntrights.exe tool...to change rights remotely.

guess what, it worked and saved this server BIG TIME.

anyhow, if you didn't know about it...it is something handy to have around.

the download of feedreader has been updated to be section 508 compliant with regard to images (thanks to EdwardB for noting that), so this should aide in using in government environments requiring that compliance.

additionally, since the technet bulletin feedreader has been downloaded quite a bit.  the proxy server issue is still paining us.  we've made some minor updates to some passing of authentication credentials and encourage those to uninstall/download/reinstall and see if that helps.  anyone with ideas of making proxy server (especially user-authenticating ones) better, please feel free to send us suggestions.  from a technical standpoint, the server is actually making the rss feed request, so our challenge is passing credentials from the client to the server, then from the server, passing those same credentials to the proxy.  this is a challenge because of double-hop situations with credentials.

also, the readme has been updated for the feedreader recommended installation which can also be found http://timheuer.com/blog/articles/389.aspx.

thanks to technet for recommending it!  feedreader recently won accolades as first prize taken in the FTPOnline web part contest: http://www.ftponline.com/portals/microsoft/webpart/
