[MMS] New MMS 2010 Schedule Planner Available

From the MMS 2010 News page:

MMS PlannerA new download is available on the MMS 2010 site to help schedule your time at MMS 2010. The document provides a session listing grouped by timeslot, with a list of the topics being presented in that slot.

To plan your schedule simply examine the Breakouts and Instructor-led Labs listed in each timeslot and mark the sessions you wish to attend at that time.

The result is a complete list of the sessions you'll be attending during the week.

Registered Attendees can also build their schedule on-line using the Schedule Builder tool on CommNet home, however this worksheet might still be useful as a pre-planner for that on-line process. To download the PDF document simply click on the following link:

Please note that this file will be updated as changes are made to the MMS 2010 Session Schedule. For example the Birds-of-a-Feather topics will be added once these are scheduled.

[System Center] New System Center Training Portal

I think this one slipped through the net whilst I was at the MVP Summit but it seems Microsoft has created a new System Center Portal which attempts to centralise all of the training information on System Center in one place rather than you having to go trawling all over the MS website looking for example for books on the MS Press site, training and exam information on the Microsoft Learning site, etc.

I like when I click on links such as “Learning Plans” that it opens up a list of available learning plans for the System Center products which are designed help guide you through getting skilled up in a product and certified where a relevant exam exists.

So go take a look and let me know what you think:

[ConfigMgr] Your chance to “Ask the Experts” at MMS

One of the Must Attend sessions at MMS each year is the ConfigMgr/ SMS Ask the Experts where a panel of Microsoft folks and MVPs are lined up ready to answer any burning questions you may have.

This year Microsoft are inviting YOU to submit your questions ahead of time which you can do so either by email or by Tweeting using the #MMSEA01 hashtag as Jeff Wettlaufer explains in the following extract from his post below:

Configuration Manager v.Next - Ask the Panel of Experts
Thursday, April 22 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM, Veronese 2404-2506
OK - so, you've attended all the breakouts on ConfigMgr v.Next and completed all the hands-labs. Now you know the "what" of ConfigMgr v.Next. How about getting a chance to learn the "how" and "why" of ConfigMgr? We've assembled a panel of engineering leadership from the ConfigMgr team, along with a few key MVP's, to really answer your questions about the "how's" and "why's" of ConfigMgr. To help tee it up we are using some social avenues to hear from you. Either email a question to the session moderator (jeffwe@microsoft.com) or simply tweet a question using the hashtag #MMSEA01. Even if you don't have a question - come join us to hear these so-called "experts" answer the tough questions and provide insights into the product and strategies for ConfigMgr.

So get your thinking caps on and those questions submitted.
