System Center Configuration Manager
How to back up SCCM 2007 R2 Reporting Services
by Steve Thompson - 6/17/2009
A recent post on the MVP alias got me thinking that others may not know that the standard ConfigMgr 2007 backup task does not back up the SSRS reports.

SMS 2003
Customizing SMS 2003 Resource Explorer Icons
by Jeff Gilbert - 6/17/2009
I've done quite a bit of hardware inventory modifications in my time and while it's great to see the new information displayed in Resource Explorer, it has always kind of bothered me that the new classes always had the default icon while some of the other inventoried information had cooler icons.

Microsoft Deployment
Script to move OSD Logs (MININT Folder)
by Chris Nackers - 6/17/2009
I have been working on a custom script to move the OSD logs up to the server after a deployment. If you have the debug option enabled, the logs stay after a deployment, then having the MININT folder doesn't allow you to do a new build until that folder is removed, unless you do a ZTI through SMS.
