Merry Christmas

Let us remember that the real reason for Christmas is the birth of our Lord and Savior. Enjoy the day and what He has blessed you with.

"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."  - Isaiah 9:6

Microsoft Shows Me A New Trick

So I was on a support call with Microsoft the other day because Outlook Anywhere was not working on a 2008 Small Business Server. While I was watching the technician work away I saw a purple box pop up in a command prompt. I stopped him and asked what exactly he did and he told me that by pressing F7 it will list previous commands that you typed. Now I have always used the up and down arrows to run commands again and I'm not sure if this is any faster/slower however its nice to be able and see a list of commands rather than scrolling through one by one.

A call to Microsoft support generally means that something is really wrong so in that respect it is usually unpleasant. However, what I have always enjoyed is watching someone who really knows a specific product or server role resolve the issue because I always learn something. This is one of the more trivial things I have learned, but something new none the less.
