Forward Messages to Phone in Exchange

This is a guide I wrote to lay out the process of creating a contact to be used for email forwarding with an exchange server.  I think it describes every step in clear detail.  I think this guide is around 30 steps.  Includes pictures.

Multi-Remote Desktop (RDP) via Run Line

 This is a script I wrote real quick one day when I got tired of clicking on the Terminal Services icon 4 times when I wanted to connect to 4 servers.  With this script, I simply open up the run line (Windows+R) and type “rdp server1 server2 server3″ all the way to up to 9  connections at once.  I know a few people around my office use this, even if they dont connect to multiple servers at once.  Must have for the admin who uses mstsc.exe to manage his or her network.

Installing Microsoft CRM 3

As I ventured down the path of installing MSFT CRM V3 I found lots of people online who are having tons of unresolved problems with setting up the install environment.

So… here is a 113 step guide I wrote for Installing Microsoft CRM V3.0 with MSSQL 2005 Workgroup and Server 2003 Standard Edition. The guide includes pictures for most of the screens and option menus along the long long road to a successful CRM install. This was written for Blue Ridge Internetworks so there are a few parts that will need modified to suit your individual needs. Overall this is a pretty comprehensive guide and when followed step-by-step, will keep you out of trouble. Enjoy!
