Just didn’t work for me. I had it all set up as per the docs, imported the data into the CDF database, tried to ‘Migrate’ and it completed but migrated no records (even though I had 8000+ in the CDF tables). I tried both the snippets I gleaned from googling :…
Recently I was reviewing the progress I had made with the development team (at work) since to took over responsibility for them around 8 months ago. It is actually pretty impressive (even if I do say so myself): Agreed and published a set of common / shared values and mission…

PowerShell has been around for some time now, what with betas and CTPs. For (the released version of) Vista it became available a month or so ago. It’s been on my ‘must get to grips with’ list for a while now and I’ve kinda been following some blogs about it,…
