The first 50 bloggers who blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Full Isolator license, Free. for rules and info click here.

Windows Vista image deployment

Migrating an Operating System is a major project that requires careful planning and guidance. To ease the process, Microsoft has provided a number of tools for automating Vista deployments including the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK), the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2008 (MDT), Windows Deployment Services (WDS) and the new User State Migration Tool.

There are many guides available on the internet, but we felt they all miss some steps. Therefore we decided to share our internal documentation. The process for our deployment scenario includes:

Prepare an USB stick with “Windows PE Boot Disk”
Prepare and capture an image (ImageX)
Manually deploy an image on a single machine (ImageX)

This document does not cover automated deployment of images on multiple computers using tools as ADS.

jQuery and Microsoft SharePoint

what is jQuery?

jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size).

Just recently Microsoft and Nokia announced they will support the JQuery library in their products! Initially they wil integrate it in Visual Studio and use within Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework.

I'm currently integrating jQuery in MOSS 2007 sites. A first examples is our client pages. I will soon post some tips.

VASCO Digipass and Juniper SSL VPN

Some weeks ago I planned to add Digipass token authentication to a Juniper SSL VPN appliance. I expected the configuration to be quite simple. But it took me several hours of digging into the VACMAN Middleware guides, and testing several scenario's before I got it right.

I decided to make it easier for you! This document can help you get your project up-and-running quickly. Remember that I made choices in this document that might not be the best ones for your situation.

This step-by-step guide describes how to:

Install Vasco Middleware on your server
Assign Digipass tokens
Configure the policies
Configure Juniper Secure Access SSL VPN
Test configuration and troubleshoot
