Woo. Off to sunny Orlando in a few weeks for the annual sales conference. I missed last year; I was on paternity leave.
I’m running three days of ‘Endpoint management training’ for the global pre-sales and technical teams.
I’m juggling the agenda right now – should include:
– Advanced ZCM scenarios; scale, deployment, labs etc
– ZENworks Endpoint Security Management
– ZENworks Patch Management Services update
– Vista deployment and migration lab
– roundtable, roadmap, updates etc

Superstition? Maybe.
I always listen to “Dreams Never End” by New Order before every exam I’ve taken. Ever since mock GCSEs in 1987.

Back in London to sit the two, three hour papers for the Managers Certificate.
Fingers crossed; first one Wednesday afternoon, second on Thursday morning.

In some circumstances you need to turn down the agent trust – especially with a NAT or DNS Round Robin environment.
This registry key changes the agent to accept a looser trust on name matching:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENovellZenworks]
"require-verified-certs"="false"

As I wrote in a previous post – one of the most important new features of ZENworks 10 Configuration Management is the System Updates feature.
This allows administrators to automatically download, approve and deploy ZENworks patches and updates across their servers and workstations.

I’ve been hosting a family blog and photo site for a good friend for over a year.
They decided recently to ‘lock down’ the site and restrict access to both the blog and the photos to family and friends only.
I spent some of yesterday doing this.
I’ve extensively use WPG2 to integrate WordPress and Gallery2 – and I use the permissions and roles within Gallery2 to successfully limit access to pictures. The most striking example of this is with my sisters Cub Scout web site; non members can read blog posts; but not view pictures.
Securing the WordPress side was a little more tricky. Drupal has a very strong permissions module -especially useful for the anonymous user. Nothing like that for WordPress.
In the end I used the post-levels plugin from Filipe Fortes – it needed some SQL mungling to work with WordPress 2.3 – but the end results were pretty good.
