• IT Stuff Here?

  KC Blogged about the lack of IT Bloggers. I signed up for a blog here on aspnet back when it was actually .net focused. The site has obviously changed quite a bit since then.

• Removed References to Payton

• Creating a Contact in AD

  Well, this new Agg Views thing indicates that my babbling about Active Directory stuff is mildly interesting, so, I'm continuing the series here. This morning's task is creating a contact in AD.
