Comment on Dropbox Vs. Google Drive by The Smart Way To Backup Your Stuff Part 3: Cloud Storage, Dropbox and Google | Aaron's Area

[...] I’ve reviewed Dropbox and Google Drive, so you can pick between the two. Personally I like Dropbox because it comes with a lot of your folders already set up for you and some cool extra features. I will describe how to do this with Dropbox, but if you replace “Dropbox” with “Google Drive”, it works the same. I’ve added a few Google specific items to the end of this post for convenience.

Comment on Active Directory Integration for ShoreTel by aaron

Another great post! I actually just used this to join my Director to AD, the one thing I noticed that actually scared me for a second was that (dependent on what your default AD GPO) as soon as you add your ShoreWare server to AD it will likely re-enable Windows Firewall which ends up affecting Callmanager Access. Also, another thing I noticed (that makes total sense) is that you have to be logged in as an AD user in ShoreWare director in order to use the “Show From AD/Sync From AD” features when adding a user, otherwise the buttons are grayed-out.

Keep up the good work, I’ve been lovin’ this blog.

Great post! I usually unzip the setup.exe using the following command: setup.exe /a

That was I don’t have to go digging for the files.
