Issues joining a Windows 7 machine to a domain, where the domain controller handling the domain join request is having old NT4 rests on it, has surfaced. The problem is related to an old overload workaround when upgrading an NT4 domain to Windows Server 2000 or 2003 domain controllers. The KB article which provide the solution is now published, see KB2008652 for more information on the resolution. Note that the problem also applies to joining Windows Server 2008 R2 servers to the domain.

System Center ConfigMgr, what is up with that?
I haven’t been posting much about System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) but that will change, starting right now. Well System Center ConfigMgr plays a significant role in for instance deployment, management and inventory of Windows clients so it feels natural to extend the posting about SCCM. I start off with hinting at these two add-ons:
Dashboard manager (beta): Present stats for ConfigMgr with charts, meters and such in a very graphical overview. See status for patch management, depployments and more! Sign up for beta and download at Microsoft Connect.
ACT (Application Compatibility Toolkit) Connector: An updated Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 – Application Compatibility Toolkit Connector has been released. This connector presents ACT information in the ConfigMgr console. Download at Microsoft Download center.
