[Pdx-pm] OT: Looking for a good Windows Admin support group or web site

[Ben Prew]

Ok, I'll bite...

I also do a little "family" administration of Windows machines and I've
found that setting up something like Cygwin works pretty well, you can even
setup ssh, although it's a little tedious, but if you use Linux, you're used
to that already :)

Another good option for remote administration is to setup something like
tightvnc (with a password!), or gotomypc [1].  As far as local resources go,
I don't really have anything, but I've found both of those things have made
it easier to do common types of remote tasks.

To pry further, what types of administration are you looking to do, like
setting up IIS, or just "best practices" for home/desktop machines?

Good luck
