One of the biggest complaints I heard from other consultants and support folks about Mac OS X Server 10.4 was about how bad it was to work with the DNS GUI. They pined away for Panther or relegated themselves to hand coding their zone files. With Leopard come some welcome changes and a nasty bug.

You still have to have a Windows XP license to create a BartPE disk, but if you are repairing a Windows install, then you probably already have the license.
The one drawback to a generic BartPE CD is that networking does not
work on Intel Macs due to missing network drivers. We know that these
drivers are on the BootCamp driver disk, but since they are all
executable (.exe) files, it is difficult to know how to include them.
We'll
walk through the steps of creating a BartPE disk with network drivers
so that you'll be able to boot up from the CD and have read/write
access to the NTFS partition.
Click Read More to see the steps to create the CD.
If you need to replace every instance of a particular file inside a directory structure (e.g., distribute a set of bookmarks to every user's home directory), you can use my File Distributor application. You put in the path to the file that you want to use as a replacement, the name of the file that you want replaced, and the path to the folder where you want to start the replacement process. You can do this by typing it in, drag and drop, or selecting from a standard file dialog. Grab it from http://ps-enable.com/software/FileDistributor1.0.dmg

In this session we’re looking to carry on from our previous session on the fundamentals of Directory Systems. We plan to cover integration with a “Golden Triangle” method to allow authentication against a 3rd party directory structure while retaining management of your OS X workstations from Open Directory’s managed client settings. This seminar series aims to introduce administrators and technical co-ordinators to real life implementations of OS X and OS X Server, in a wide range of practical situations. Presentations are given by industry experts and/or system administrators, in a format which fosters open discussions and group collaboration.

I have modified a perl script from Geoff Franks that was created for parsing Microsoft Office update log files to now parse the output of logGen
I encourage the community to send back code additions and bug reports.
