OK I have to ask.. what's the WHY problem?

I'm a bit curious on that as well. It's just a matter of not having 2 machines with the same SID in a single AD environment.

This has actually been disproven (I only found out this year though). The machine SID has very little to do with the Domain SID when it comes to the domain itself. It is possible that a software vendor is relying on unique SIDs but Windows Domains do not.

Sysprepping does more than just change the SID. The use of NEW SID has been deprecated, but not Sysprep

Haven't seen anything like that. Maybe a video that you make yourself.

I am not a great teacher.

I learned the Why the hard way when I tried to build an AD environment cloned from the same base VM.

That is why I believe the HOW and the WHY are equally important. I have found several non-sysprepped PCs in AD, lately.

I know the How is easy, but I want them to be able to understand the Why. I am having trouble explaining it them.

I want to hand off my imaging duties. I would like to find some sysprep and image training for IT employees to watch

@IRJ how much can you lift Joel? Due to medical problems I can't exactly curl so I do use the machines. Currently doing 3 reps of 15 or 20 with a weight of 50 or 70 depending on the day. It usually hurts once you get to you're 30th press lol.

On the top 2 pictures, I was about 330lbs. I could bench about 360lbs which is pretty poor bench to weight ratio. I was born with a missing pectoral muscle on the right side of my chest. All my strength comes from my arms and shoulders. I was military pressing 310lbs on my shoulders at one point.

Oh I'm not benching yet... nor do I know if I will... when the doctor says "your bones will break if you lift too much, we just don't know where that line is" kind of makes me go "well... wtf do I do?

You can see some really nice results from just doing pushups and crunches.

Weightlifting and dieting (Still Drinking). This was in the Florida Keys I wasnt exactly sober

Weightlifting with no dieting and eating fast food and garbage

It depends on what you consider luck. I ate whatever I wanted and got into weightlifting. I didnt drop any weight, I gained it but I felt alot better and my body was alot stronger. I have never been skinny or close to it, but I felt better and can run faster and farther than most people 100lbs lighter than me.

You need to make your name as ugly and memorable as it can be. As a cover band, people hear the songs you are recreating and dont really put alot of thought to your band name. Since half the people that are listening are probably drunk, you have to create something very memorable.

called WOW.

Believe it or not, I have never played it before this week. I have alot to learn quickly.

Something tells me that your weekend is going to be quickly consumed.

Nah, I only spent about 2 hours playing this weekend. I had a bunch of stuff to do around the house and a sick pregnant gf

Thanks Nic!

Me and my gf use Netflix, HuluPlus, and Amazon Instant video and we really enjoy them. Are there any other online services out there that any of you use?

No I dont want cable or Satellite TV. I am looking for Online Services only.

On a side note, my girlfriend is given me all this crap for playing WOW. I couldnt figure out why she hated it so much and was making a huge deal about it. Come to find out, she used to play all the time lol.

In that case, the two of you should come and make characters in Final Fantasy XIV: A Real Reborn! You could be an MMO couple.

I would be down for it, but I think she is scarred from MMORPGs lol

@scottalanmiller said:

Wow. That is a classic. I didn't realize that it was still around. What made you decide to play that now?

I've never played, believe it or not.

I guess it was just my inner geek. I donwloaded the free trial and next thing I knew, I bought the game.

Hold the phone.. XP's listed in there.

Indeed - this is most generous of Microsoft.

Sets an interesting precedent for the future but I think they did the good thing here!
