Microsoft Assessment & Planning Toolkit

The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is an agentless toolkit that finds computers on a network and performs a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and the Remote Registry Service. The data and analysis provided by this toolkit can significantly simplify the planning process for migrating to Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V, Microsoft Application Virtualization, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Forefront® Client Security and Network Access Protection. Assessments for Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Vista include device driver availability as well as recommendations for hardware upgrades.

You can use MAP to inventory the following platforms:

  • Windows 7
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows XP® Professional

Mijn blog een jaar later.

Begin December 2008 ben ik begonnen met mijn blog. Mijn eerste post was Vista & Grabit want ik had
toen nog geen idee waar ik over wou gaan bloggen.

Een ex-collega Duncan Epping had ook een blog. Genaamd Yellow Bricks.
Ik vond wel interessant dat bloggen. Dus ook maar gaan bloggen over VMWare & Microsoft.

Een dikke jaar later zijn de statistieken als volgt zonder bots:
74.588 Unieke bezoekers
167.496 Hits

Het aantal hits schommelt tussen de 700 en 1500 hits per dag.

Windows 7 & Windows 2008 R2 verschijnen dit jaar nog!!!

Microsoft heeft maandag bekendgemaakt dat Windows 7 nog dit jaar zal worden uitgebracht. De release moet voor de feestdagen een feit zijn. Dinsdag begint het bedrijf met een nieuwe test voor het updatemechanisme van het OS.

De onthulling dat Windows 7 in het vierde kwartaal verschijnt, werd gedaan op de maandag begonnen Microsoft Tech Ed-conferentie te Los Angeles, aldus Microsofts Windows Blog. Een definitieve releasedatum werd nog niet bekent gemaakt. Hoewel al enige tijd wordt verwacht dat het nieuwe besturingssysteem in het najaar verschijnt. Het standpunt van Microsoft was tot dus ver dat het OS maximaal drie jaar na de release van Vista op de markt zou komen, oftewel niet later dan 30 januari 2010. Microsoft heeft overigens voorts laten weten dat ook Windows Server 2008 R2 in het vierde kwartaal wordt vrijgegeven.
