Add a Reverse Lookup Zone
"Reverse lookup zones support the resolution of IP addresses to host names. Although they are optional in most networks, reverse lookup zones might be necessary for certain secure applications that require the validation of IP addresses"
Adding a Resource Record to a Forward Lookup Zone
Resource records contain the information that a Domain Name System (DNS) zone maintains about the resources (such as hosts) that the zone contains. A typical resource record consists of the name (host) of the resource record owner, information about how long the resource record can remain in the cache, the resource record type (such as a host (A or AAAA) resource record), and data that is specific to the record type (such as the host's address). You can add resource records directly, or they can be added automatically when Windows-based, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)–enabled clients join a network. This process is known as dynamic update.

Download details: Security Configuration Wizard Documentation
The Security Configuration Wizard documentation set contains deployment, extensibility options and troubleshooting tips to assist you in running the wizard.
Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) is an attack surface reduction tool for members of the Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 family with Service Pack 1 (SP1). SCW determines the minimum functionality required for a server's role or roles, and disables functionality that is not required.
SCW guides you through the process of creating, editing, applying, or rolling back a security policy based on the selected roles of the server. The security policies that are created with SCW are XML files that, when applied, configure services, network security, specific registry values, audit policy, and if applicable, Internet Information Services (IIS).
More nonsense with VirtualCenter certificates - part 2 | Leo's Ramblings
This guide is for how to use Windows Certificate Authority (which requires no enrollment since it's already domain enforced) and openssl. Again, thanks to Rich from VM/ETC for drawing this to my attention in this post
VirtualCenter CA Configuration | Leo's Ramblings
VirtualCenter has an expiry date of 730 days\n\nAnd the VMware documentation, on how to create a default certificate is, as usual, crap. It's pages upon pages of waffling nonsense that is not current or relevant to existing versions of openssl.
The Sternberg Effect: Reasons to use Twitter
The bigger question you should be asking yourself is, "Why do I care what a random blogger (and not even a good one at that) thinks about Twitter (or anything else. But that's a whole other issue)?" The answer is simplistically simple: the nature of social media is to learn from others.
Conversation Agent: You're on Twitter, Now What?
Consider this - Twitter is
* searchable content
* a series of micro impressions
* a presence tool
* a social network
* an information hub
* an idea exchange
* always "on"
* quick, short, and not always on the mark
* sound bites where you provide the context
* and more... (feel free to add)
