Installed OIT based certs on the Wolftest domain controllers. Q291010

Researched a little on the "Windows NT compatibility mode" secure channel mechanism in regards to Macintosh connectivity to SMB shares. Macs apparently still use antiquated cryptography algorithms to establish secure channels with AD resources, and Apple's solution is to downgrade AD's supported cryptography algorithms.

Created service account for ADToolKit to unlock WolfTech accounts.

Worked on getting Terminal Server Licensing established for engr99ts with kmswann2. Was not successful. Rebuilt engr99ts and reinstalled apps, giving us another 120 days to figure it out.

Installed the Windows 7 Enterprise Client beta Solution Accelerator GPO templates; first in WolfTest, then in WolfTech.

Updated permissions on the ENGR print server to only allow ENGR domain users to print to it, thus blocking inappropriate access of WolfTech accounts due to the recent creation of an AD trust created with it for migration purposes to WolfTech. Also updated the "COEDEAN-COEDEAN-Staff-Printing" domain group policy setting for the WolfTech COEDEAN staff print server OU, ensuring that only "COEDEAN-Staff" can print to the WolfTech COEDEAN print server.

Installed Win2008/R2 on machine "engr98pt" to support 64 bit COEDEAN Windows clients.

Tweaking of the AD_Objects log parser script.

Futzed with M$ SQL Server to see if i could figure out how to get it to email any SQL Backup error messages. Figured out the SMTP mechanism, but not how to trigger email notifications on failures.
