[Snippet] Connecting to Windows 2008 Server from XP
Posted on January 25, 2010
By default, Windows 2008 requires Network Level Authentication to connect via RDP/Terminal Services. This is not supported on Windows XP. It is supported on XP SP3 but its a dirty hack to get working. Try it if you like. Or, change the security settings on Windows 2008, select Allow connections from computers running any version Remote Desktop (less secure).
This also works for XP -> Vista connections.
Installing Windows Server 2008 on PERC 4/DC
Posted on January 25, 2010
Got an older server like a Dell PowerEdge 2850 or a 2900 that you want to install Windows Server 2008 on?
You'll need to provide extra drivers for Windows to see the PERC RAID array.
I downloaded the Windows 2003 PERC 4/DC drivers from Dell.
Installing memcached on CentOS (cPanel)
Posted on January 23, 2010
Welcome to hell. No really, compared to installing memcached on Ubuntu, CentOSs really sucks. CentOS really sucks for package management. Really sucks. Anyway, on to the point.
Here's how I installed memcached on CentOS, which I mainly use for cPanel.

Memcached is a free, high performance distributed memory object caching system. In English, it can make your single server PHP applications faster or for a little more technical users you can write cache and share cache objects over a web server farm or cluster. Great, eh.
No seriously, it can really make your PHP faster.
Detecting MIME types in PHP
Posted on January 22, 2010
Detecting MIME types in PHP used to be hellish.
Use the mime_content_type function I hear you say. Returns the MIME content type for a file as determined by using information from the magic.mime file. No, its garbage and thankfully now depreciated.
The PHP documentation suggests we use the Fileinfo PECL extension. I wasted ten minutes of my day trying to make that work. It even comes packaged with PHP 5.3. Still doesn't work.
Managing User Shares in Windows
Posted on January 8, 2010
So you've probably got a Users folder with directories in matching all your Windows users, so they all have a private "home" drive on your server?
Ever tried to manage permissions on them, or messed permissions up? Or managed to make your Director's files world-readable?
Mananging Exchange users and attributes from your XP desktop
Posted on January 6, 2010
So you are lazy and don't want to waste valuable seconds of your life connecting to an Exchange server to manage a recipient. Easy, add the Exchange attributes to your local copy of Active Directory Management Tools.
Works for Exchange 2000 and 2003 and Windows XP, probably works for the rest as well.
