Meet The New Tech

September 29th, 2010News0 Comments

My name is Ryan Anding.  I got my start with computers a few years ago as a hobby, building desktop pc’s for friends and family, and I’ve been learning everything I can about computers and technology since then.   I enjoy working with technology and I find it fulfilling to help others better understand their gadgets.  I am new to technology as a profession, but my goal is to help you with all of your technology needs in the best way that I can, and to learn as much as I can every day to help me grow to become a better technician.

I was introduced to Jessica by a mutual friend and she saw enough potential in me to give me the chance to shadow her for a few days while she made some client visits.  I really enjoyed the work and the experience as a whole; all of her clients were wonderful and graciously welcomed me.  ÜberGeekGirl is a great company to work for.  Jessica and I have fun together and I’m thankful that we met and that I’ve been given this opportunity.

I moved to Los Angeles from Arizona after high school and I studied computers, anthropology, and archaeology in college.  Outside of technology, I spend my time hiking and camping, working on anything with a gasoline engine, and my saltwater fish tank.

Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Analyzer

September 1st, 2010Troubleshooting0 Comments

Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Connectivity Analyzer.

Exchange Remote Connectivity Analyzer answers your Exchange operations questions, such as:

  1. Can my Exchange server receive inbound Internet/SMTP email?
  2. Can my Outlook Anywhere (aka “RPC over HTTP” in Exchange 2003) clients connect from outside the firewall?
  3. Can my mobile users connect using Exchange ActiveSync phones/devices?
  4. Does AutoDiscover work for Outlook 2007 clients?
  5. Does AutoDiscover work for Exchange ActiveSync clients?
  6. Are the certificates used for these services valid?

I cannot tell you how useful this tool has been in my server admin work. If you haven’t tried it yet, take it for a spin. Let me know if it has helped you! With thanks to Dave Shackelford at ThirdTier for this great resource.
