Steven Choy posted this excellent article on MS TechNet back in August of 2008.  I still consider it an excellent starting place to determine where various bottlenecks may be occurring on systems.
I&#8217;ve taken the liberty to summarize the information contained in the article and created a chart for convenience.  Enjoy!

Here&#8217;s one from my personal tip jar.  This is well documented on Cisco&#8217;s website, but sometimes it&#8217;s just nicer to have this type of info in bite-sized portions. 
As nice as the canned music on hold files are that come with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, sometimes you just want to add that personal touch. [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a little time-saving tip for working with mailboxes in Exchange 2010.  Normally if you need full access to another user&#8217;s mailbox in Exchange 2007/2010 you would highlight their mailbox in the Exchange Management Console and the choose &#8220;Manage Full Access&#8230;&#8221; from the action pane.  You would have to do this individually for each mailbox [...]]]></description>

I recently had the opportunity to work with one of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2&#8217;s neatest features:  Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) and Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access).  If you aren&#8217;t familiar with these features, check out a brief summary here.
The setup is fairly straightforward, as outlined here and here.  However, I did [...]]]></description>

Ok, maybe it&#8217;s not that extreme, but losing power to a Cisco router or switch, while performing an IOS upgrade, after you&#8217;ve deleted your existing IOS can be a headache.  While not a disaster, you can plan on spending about an extra 45 minutes or so to recover.  Here&#8217;s the lowdown:

My phone has been suffering from a bad battery and random death.  I would keep my phone charging constantly in the car, at work, or at home, then when off the charger for a small period of time, I would notice that it was dead.  Totally dead; no charge left.  This has left me so [...]]]></description>
