Assign iPrint Printers the FAST way
Let's face the fact, assigning iPrint printers in iManager, especially if the users are in a different container than the iPrint Printer, can become very tedious and time consuming. First you have to wait for the browse window to choose a printer, then wait for the browse window to browse for the users or groups, and finally select all of your users. Well what if you had 5 executives that needed to have access to every Xerox Printer in the organization and these printers existed in multiple containers? Let's say there were 35 of these printers. This could take hours. I'll demonstrate how to do it in less than 5 minutes.

Boot errors, fix for EVMS
After installing updates on SLES/OES servers we have had issues where the server doesn't boot. The console comes to:
"No root device found; exiting to /bin/sh
sh: "
This is because the kernel was upgraded and a new initrd was created but it was not created with EVMS support (for some reason, not sure why, wonder when Novell/SUSE is going to fix this??).
This article explains how we worked around that.

Registering and updating a SLES server through an authenticated proxy
In most corporate environments web proxies are implemented as part of an overall security requirement. When implementing a SLES server it is just as important, from a security standpoint, to keep the server patched up to date. Being able to set the server to register and update from the command line did not seem possible until I discovered the following method. Read on to see how it's done.

Fix for Sleep and Hibernate on a Thinkpad T61p with an nVidia FX570 Video Card
When I ordered my Thinkpad laptop I specified the best video card that was available thinking that it would be the best choice with SLED or OpenSuSE. That turned out to be a bad idea until now.
