The last Citrix online plug-in from Citrix which included the Program Neigborhood was version 11.0 as announced here. I get their reasons, but as a consultant I found the Program Neigborhood pretty handy to connect to Citrix Farms of different customers.

Delete infinitely deep folder structure
Today I ran into a problem where I needed to delete a folder structure which was setup incorrectly. Because of this the folder had a huge amount of empty subfolders.
Ok, no problem.. just select the root folder, and select DELETE.
Volleybaltoernooien.nl
Together with a friend of mine, I’m the owner of Volleybaltoernooien.nl. We started this site back in 2006 in order to provide the Dutch volleyball community with a searchable calendar of tournaments played throughout the year. We decided to build this site on asp.NET (because we both work with Microsoft products) from scratch. Because this was our first encounter with developing websites we had some flaws/omissions in the site:
- usage of tables for layout. The site had a different look in almost every different browser
- results only displayed in a table
Microsoft components architecture posters
Back in February I mentioned that Microsoft placed a poster online about the features of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, and now they added 2 new posters:
Windows 2008 R2 Mandatory Profiles
Microsoft has disabled the Copy to functionality which allowed administrators to copy profiles to a central share and set security while doing this so all users can access this profile. This is (as far as I know) deliberant.

Well this posed me at first for a problem, because I had to define a Mandatory profile and one of the first steps was to copy the profile. Luckily enough I have a lot of colleagues that are smart and after a short discussion with one of them we came to the conclusion we have to create a mandatory profile the “old-fashioned” way.
