About
My name is Kevin Debono, I’m an IT Consultant, with experience gained working within the IT arena for more than 15 years. I was born in 1975 in Malta a very small island in the Mediterranean Sea, around 200 Km south of the island of Sicily (Italy).
I started my IT career at the age of 19 as a developer using Visual Basic and C++. At the age of 21 I was offered a contract with Total SA in Libya as a System Administrator on Windows NT. Since that day 13 years passed I have always worked on contracts in the oil and gas industry. I have worked in countries like Libya, Iran, Dubai, Nigeria and Yemen on various projects.
The following list contains some of the projects:
- Design and implementation of Active Directory based on Server 2000 and 2003
- Migration from NT/Windows 2000 to Active Directory/Windows XP, Design
- Migration between different Active Directory Domains
- Merging Active Directory Domains
- Implementation of Exchange 2003 infrastructure
- Virtualization of data centre using Microsoft Hyper-V
- Email archiving for Exchange using Mimosa NearPoint
- SAN storage infrastructure based on HP EVA hardware
- High availability based on Server 2008
During all these years I faced a lot of complex problems, this is the fun part of IT but I solved most of the problems with the help of solutions posted on the Internet by other IT guys. For this reason I decided that it was about time that I start to share my knowledge with the rest of the world in order to help IT peers.
The site will contain solutions to problems that I face during my projects and documentation of the projects implemented so far. I will also try to offer help through the blog. Also, I use VBScripting to solve some of the most challenging problems that I face; in fact I have a library of around 100 scripts that I’m going to make available for downloads with comments and documentation.
I’m currently on contract with Yemen LNG where I’m holding the position of a System Architect. The big projects for 2010 will be the migration to Windows 7/Office 2010 and the migration to Exchange 2010.
