BIM and the Cloud--The Economics of Private Cloud Computing: AECbytes Feature Article:
Great article by Chris France
"Traditional IT vs. Private CloudTraditional IT is the way most firms operate today. They design, build, and manage their own IT infrastructure inside their offices. There is an IT maxim that was true 30 years ago and will be true 50 years from now: “Centralize when you can, Distribute when you have to.” Until recently, we HAD to distribute design applications and design data to be close to the end user. When it became possible to successfully push a “BIM Workstation” to a data center, we entered into a new era of IT. What we once had to distribute, we can now centralize to gain better capabilities, economies of scale, and cost reductions. Below are the metrics of a typical “traditional IT” 300-person firm."

Installing SSL Certificate for use in IIS7, installation “works”, but cert listing disappears
"Installing SSL Certificate for use in IIS7, installation “works”, but cert listing disappears"
on server 2008 R2- talked to Go Daddy support twice.
My solution:
Go daddy had made the Organization match the Subject Name. Apparently when you request the cert, you need to enter the FQDN into the Organization field.
Hopes this helps someone.

Request-ID
