About www.telnetport25.com
Telnetport25.com is the 3rd incarnation of Andy’s Grogan’s Ramblings about (in the main) Microsoft Exchange Server.
The original vision of the site was to provide Exchange Administrators, Technology Professionals and the passing technologist with a unique set of real world focussed articles and tools to aid them in their work – these include Quick Tips, Walk through’s, Applications, Videos and scripts.
As the site has evolved from its birth platform of Google Blogger, through to being hosted on WordPress.com and currently a private platform. The content has developed from a core “die hard” technical resources to being a mix of technical articles, programming and strategic placement for Exchange Server, SQL Server, C# and Powershell.
Telnetport25.com is a resource for the entire technical community – and prides itself on (currently) providing free Content and remaining free from advertisements.
About Andy Grogan
My name is Andy Grogan and I am a UK based Senior Technology Professional. I have worked in the I.T industry since around 1996 holding a number of roles which range from 1st/2nd/3rd line support, technical lead, technical architect, chief technical architect, Head of 3rd tier Technical Service through to my current role as a CIO for a one of the largest Housing Providers in the UK.
I started the concept of www.telnetport25.com in around 2005 on Google's blogger platform where the focus of the site was “off the wall” Exchange support scenarios - but as the years have gone by the site and my career have developed to the point where I provide a mix of technical, development and strategic advice – sometimes branching off into “General Mumblings” where I either rant or talk about something else technical or IT related.
My work has been very varied however it has predominantly been focused on Microsoft, HP, IBM Citrix and VMWARE solutions with a distinct leaning towards Exchange, Active Directory, VBSCRIPT, C#, Powershell and SQL Server. However I have also worked very closely within Storage technologies,Operations Management, Data Centre design and build.
More recently I have added Business Solution design, cost benefit analysis, programme management, transformational IT, and large complex budget management experience to my existing technical portfolio to round off my skill set as someone whom is comfortable in both technical and non-technical roles.
I have been lucky enough to have been awarded the Microsoft MVP in Exchange Server for three award cycles (2009, 2010 and 2011), and I am a member of the Institute for Leadership and Management in the UK.
As well as Telnetport25.com I am a contributing author to both http://searchexchange.techtarget.com and http://www.msexchange.org
Telnetport25 is my gift to you all in the technology community – I really hope that you enjoy it – and if you would like to get in contact – please do so either via the Contact page, or feel free to hook up with me via LinkedIn or Twitter @telnetport25com
