QUICK HIT OF THE DAY
Keep AD neat and tidy
Like NFTS, DNS and every other data storage mechanism within Windows 2000, the Active Directory database becomes untidy over time. And while Windows 2000 has several built-in mechanisms to help maintain the health of this mission-critical database, it isn't foolproof and doesn't address every issue.

Indian boy in Gaza earns Microsoft certificate
If you're sweating over earning your Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) certificate, keep this in mind: It's child's play! A 7-year-old boy in the Gaza Strip made mincemeat out of the MOUS, passing with flying colors and earning a certificate usually reserved for taller, older grownups. Evidently a certificate for learning multiplication tables wasn't enough for Anudeep Bhaskar. Not only did he master the Microsoft material, he overcame the hostile nature of his surroundings. Because of Israeli air strikes, the electricity was knocked out for long periods, so Anudeep couldn't even get on his computer much of the time. No word what he'll do with his MOUS -- maybe he'll skip third grade and go directly to the pros.
