Please log in for more thread options Hi David,
Yep, I understand. Sometimes it doesn't even help when
there is an ear around to bounce off of as one just bounces
off of it <g> But I do hear what you are saying.
The problem with step-by-steps are that they seem to need
to aim at the 80% case, which may not be what one has,
and even if it is there may still be other aspects of the
deployed environment or its planned future that make a
variation on the step-by-step a better idea.
Sorry, but due to that I do not have a list of favorite sites
that I would recommend in general, although there are
quite a few very good ones.
Keep in mind that there are quite a few "how-to" articles
in the MS KB (if one can find them), and the newsgroups
are always here (quite a few post "this: a, b, c is what I am
planning on. is there something overlooked, or a better way?)
And, of course Google is a big help - after locating and
comparing a couple 1,2,3s and then digging a little into
the resource kit / KBs one can often build a fairly complete
picture.
