Rich and I welcome new participant Ted Miller to the show. We discuss the history of the computer virus, hardware vendor network management offerings, an Active Directory utility and a handy little wiki. As usual, we end with our website picks and we hope you enjoy.
NOTE: Apologies for the low background noise. We tested the new equipment extensively, but never had this problem in previous test recordings. Rich was also battling a poor hotel Internet connection, so Skype kept throwing us some curves.

Feedback, Podcast, Wiki March 23rd, 2007
It’s been a couple of weeks since we published a new episode, so I thought I should give an update. We should be recording a new episode next week (around 3/28/07) and I hope to have it out by that Friday. Rich is in his ‘extremely busy time’ of the year with work and travel, so it’s been difficult to find the time to record. It should settle down to just his normal ‘busy time’ and we’ll try to get on a regular schedule.
Until then; The Wiki pages for the A Couple Of Admins Podcast are up and running. If you have an idea for a topic that you would like Rich and I to cover, please post it on the ListenerIdeas page at the following link:
A Couple Of Admins Podcast Wiki
Also, please send comments (good and bad) to: RichAndKeith[at]gmail.com
We’d like to make this podcast as interactive as possible (without actually coming into your living room and recording the show), so please let us know what you’d like to hear about.
Thanks for being patient and for any feedback you can provide.
