Hello again from CSTechcast.com, the latest in our weekly podcast series for IT professionals is online. This week we discuss the unifying potential of Office Communication Server with Ron Barrett, author of How to Cheat at Administering Office Communications Server 2007. Find Ron at http://www.networkworld.com/community/barrett. The news brings us Intel launching the Centrino 2 laptop chipset with vPro features for enterprise management, an insider admin locked out the San Francisco network with a password change, a major spike in malware due mainly to SQL injection attacks, new terabyte tape backup capacity, and some users get locked out of validating their Office installations. Big media going after moms gets "The Worst Tech Move of the Week", IT managers strike a nerve in "The IT Pet Peeve", and "The Weekly Tech Tip" gets you straight when accessing JET with 64-bit SSIS.
