Well my domain is complete for now. In order to get Exchange working I had to visit the voodoo god Obatala and learn the dark ritual arts which were then performed on the Exchange Server. Actually, I just blew away my domain controller and started over again, but it didn’t sound so interesting saying that. Turns out that the DNA evidence against ForestFucker was not as conclusive as I thought and he was cleared of all charges. The actual prime suspect is the Active Directory Connector which I’ll call The Active Directory Hoser. The things that it did to the Active Directory shall not be spoken of here since it will frighten small children and big children too.

In other news, I got a PPTP VPN server up and running behind my Linksys router with NAT running. All you have to do is forward port 1723 (UDP and TCP) to the VPN server and make sure that you downgrade!? your firmware to 1.44.2. As to why it doesn’t work with a newer firmware is anyone’s guess. Regardless, I’m happy because I get to close off port 3389 (Remote Desktop) to my super-dooper-wonder-workstation.
