			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More  people are using the web to research companies and products nowadays. If  your site does not look appealing, you may be losing businesses.</p>
<p>Here are 5 Must Have&#8217;s for a website:</p>
<p>1. About Us page: clients would like to know more about your company before spending money on your products or services. Show your clients your company values and story.</p>
<p>2. Explain exactly what your business does, services you are providing, or products you are selling. You only have a few seconds to hook onto your visitor, so make sense to them!</p>
<p>3. Showcase: show your clients your awards, experiences with other clients through testimonials. Clients like to know that your company has experiences and good recommendations.</p>
<p>4. Social media: Facebook and Twitter can be powerful for your business. If your company does not have an active account, then you&#8217;re already behind the competition.</p>
<p>5. Blog: The general rule is the more pages your site has in Google&#8217;s index, the more traffic you&#8217;ll receive. Blogging is an excellent way to add more pages to your site.</p>
<p>Remember: your company will never go wrong investing more resources into a better website. Why not contact OCgeeks today for your free quote?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been playing with the the AD PowerShell cmdlets you know that it requires a few things to run, first Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, the .NET Framework 3.5.1 and of course if you want to manage an AD domain you need Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) installed on at least one domain controller. </p>
<p>    By the way ADWS requires TCP port 9389</p>
<p>So how in the world does a Windows 7 system know how to find a DC running ADWS?  Well your client running PowerShell will use the normal DC locator process.  First the client will determine which site it is in nltest /dsgetsite and then it will determine the closest DC nltest /dsgetdc:<fqdn Domain>.  It is looking at the DC for the following flag:</p>
<p>    DS_WEB_SERVICE_REQUIRED</p>
<p>More info on that flag can be found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675983.aspx">here.</a></p>
<p>Now what if you don’t have Server 2008 R2 DCs?  With Server 2003 and Server 2008 a problem occurs because the Net Logon service of those domain controllers does not recognize the DS_WEB_SERVICE_REQUIRED flag.  There are two hotfixes (one for what ever version of AD you are running) available to fix that in those environments.  Server <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969429">2003</a> and Server <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967574">2008</a></p>
<p>After you install this hotfix the AD PowerShell module and Active Directory Administrative Center will be able to locate DCs that have <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&#038;FamilyID=008940c6-0296-4597-be3e-1d24c1cf0dda">Active Directory Management Gateway </a>Service installed, similar to Active Directory Web Services (ADWS) on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer. </fqdn></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows Explorer has undergone a lot of changes in Windows 7 and Vista. As part of several changes, Vista or Windows 7 users will not see the menu bar in Windows Explorer because it’s been hidden. You can make the cloaked Windows Explorer menu bar able to be seen by using any one of these methods:<br />
<strong><br />
Make the Explorer menu bar visible temporarily</strong><br />
In order to see the menu bar in Windows Explorer, just hit the ALT key when you’re browsing any folder. The menu bar appears temporarily and will disappear once you let go the ALT key.</p>
<p><strong>Show the Explorer menu bar permanently</strong></p>
<p>To make the hidden Explorer menu bar visible always, just click on the ‘Organize’ button in the top left corner of Windows Explorer. Go to the ‘Layout’ menu option and choose ‘Menu bar’. This toggles the display of the Explorer menu bar.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many businesses that simple do not believe in the web as a business tool. A website does not have to sell your products, it can be used simply to let potential customers know you are there. For small businesses particularly those that rely on a local customer base this can be an invaluable source of additional customer enquiries.</p>
<p>For companies who are now considering gaining a web presence I would say go for it. You have nothing to loose and a lot to gain. You do not need to sell on the web to have a meaningful website. In many cases a business website can be used purely for lead generation.</p>
<p>Many businesses rely on customers from the local area. Typically these businesses would advertise locally and in doing so would receive a stream of local customers. In this situation I believe thisbusiness is loosing out on an additional extra stream of customers by not having a company website. Just imagine how many people go to Google or any other search engine and type in [townname service]. If a local company was to have a website and it was to rank for that term then they would be able to attract many new leads through the website.</p>
<p>A website like this does not need to sell the product or service, is is simply there to gain search traffic for the preferred search terms. On the actual website you would provide some basic information about the company. and contact details.</p>
<p>Michael Dell of Dell computers was quoted as saying, <em>&#8220;Show me a business that&#8217;s not on the Internet, and I&#8217;ll show you a business that&#8217;s out of touch with the future.&#8221;</em> He is correct in this assertion.</p>

I&#8217;m VERY impressed with MSE so far. I&#8217;ve installed it on four different Windows 7 systems, with very quick and easy installation and low system resource hit. It has easily jumped to my favorite free AV solution, and I&#8217;m seriously considering using it in place of other systems that I am currently have running NOD32, Symantec, or McAfee. If they keep the definition coverage strong, then I think this is a winner.</p>
