    One of the principal missions of searchWin2000 is to provide a virtual water cooler where IT pros can share ideas. That�s one reason behind Bill Boswell�s Admin Corner Puzzle. The puzzle is our newest community feature, complementing user-submitted tips, Ask the Expert, discussion boards and live chats with leading industry experts.

    Today, I�m pleased to introduce puzzle contest winner Gerry Costa, whose workaround for Margaret the computer guru�s domain limit problem earned her a $25 searchWin2000 book store gift certificate. We hope Gerry will be the first in a long line of IT problem solvers we recognize in the Admin Corner and elsewhere on the site. We�re already tallying up the right answers to determine the victor in our December 7 puzzle. Forgot to enter? Not to worry. Look for Bill�s next problem in the Administrator Forum on Wednesday.

Find out in this searchWindowsManageability collection of links that offer insights and expert advice about these and other Microsoft management tools.
