I was commissioned back in 2007/ 2008 to write some SMS/ ConfigMgr-related articles for Server Management Magazine, a free UK-based magazine which also had a website. Sadly, the magazine became a casualty of the recession and I’ve been planning on publishing the articles online for some time. So listed below are links to the articles I wrote which I hope are of some use you to (if nothing else it’s somewhere for me to keep copies for sentimental reasons).
I’ve seem copies of the articles literally copied and pasted onto other websites without any mention of my name so to prove ownership of the article (yes I’ve been asked), as well as the text each article contains images of the actual articles as they appeared in the magazine.
