Microsoft Management Summit 2010
I’m currently in Las Vegas this week attending MMS 2010. There has been some some fantastic content surrounding Configuration Manager V.Next. Very interesting what they will be doing with that product. This conference is hands down one of the best conferences you can attend for technical information for Microsoft System Center products.
Also had some great discussions around MDT last night during 2 Birds of a Feather sessions, the first one was a Ask the Experts: MDT 2010 with Michael Niehaus, also attending were Tim Mintner, Johan Arwidmark and Ben Hunter. Following that session, I hosted a Open Forum: MDT/OSD and we also had some great discussions surrounding MDT/OSD and Image creating best practices. As usual we ran out of time, there is just never enough time to discuss OSD/MDT!
Michael and Johan put on a fantastic presentation today on Driver Management called “A Drivers Saga – The Control Freak Meets the Dynamic Developer”, they showed both management in MDT 2010 LTI, along with ConfigMgr and the associated pains :) Johan gave me a nice plug for my post on driver management. So I really appreciated that. There are many ways to manage drivers with ConfigMgr and for us, the hybrid solution works really well and kind of gives you the best of both worlds.
Also announced today was Configuration Manager R3 beta, read more here.
Well that’s about all for now, I’m sure I’ll have more to post after a few more sessions.
