As an SBS-MVP since 1999, Jeff’s newsgroup posts are frequently characterized as small whitepapers for the length and detail he rambles into. You could Google him on topics including Group Policy, Terminal Services, Security, Patch Management, Wide-Area and remote operations, plus Disaster Recovery and Deployment optimization.
For 15 yrs. as a New Orleans VAR business, Jeff's one-man shop has optimized multi-site and remote operation customer scenarios. Refined support and deployment methodology produced many “work smarter, not harder” ideas over the years.
October 2004 marked his launch of www.SBSmigration.com, and finally this provides the means to get “the book” on migration from Jeff. He has condensed his server and domain upgrades experience into a unique project guide for IT Pros. Upgrade SBS server transparently, no touching the desktops, no working on weekends, no losing the original Active Directory? You can imagine this is a popular concept for the IT Pros! This process is unlike any method explained by Microsoft, it’s a truly alternative concept.
Jeff spent the month of November 2004 in Australia presenting on this topic, and meeting old friends from online for the first time…on the other side of the world! Perhaps just as interesting is how he continued supporting his USA based customers remotely while on the road: remote desktop control, VOIP-internet telephone, cell phone forwarding, and some creative wireless access tricks…all from one laptop.
