After a semi-disaster with SharePoint earlier this week, I have been forced into the view that I really should have our SharePoint infrastructure hosted on more than one web server. To that end, I am planning the deployment of a new, 2+ node Windows SharePoint Services farm.
Initial architecture will be something like this:
Host: SharePoint2
Roles: [...]
So, you have a site that needs to to run over SSL-only (shouldn’t they all?)? You don’t trust your clients to type that ever-important “s” after “http” (and why would they?)? You think they will get scared off by those “Secure connection required” error pages (they will!)? You are not running IIS7 (who is?)? Not [...]
The motherboard on my trusty Dell Latitude D820 went sour this Sunday, requiring a full replacement. No one was ever killed by losing access to their laptop for a few days, but I was somewhat annoyed to have lost access to my iTunes installation (thus making backup and sync of my iPod impossible), and I [...]

I had understood from earlier MS brags about Vista that the "componentized" (sic) OS could always be maintained offline. Adding [...]
The people in the computer depot clinic reported a vexing problem with Windows DS deployment today… one of the techs reported a 0×80070020 error in a WDS deployment session. The text was “Windows cannot install required files”. There is no mention of which files, which is quite irritating. The error comes up after 20-25 minutes [...]

Pre-migration:
Verify destination filer settings:
Quota configuration – compare /etc/quotas to current config on “files”. [...]
If your network is like ours (and I hope that it is not), your DNS server is happily accepting IPv6 address registrations, but your routers can’t makes heads or tails of all those packets with those long addresses on them. Is this a problem? You betcha’.
