The Big Red Button

There was some chat today at the Ask The Experts session about the need to have a Big Red Button available to halt certain SMS processes that were inadvertantly put in motion due to mis-configuration of advertisements and collection memberships.

I was chatting with Josh and I think that, at the server level, it might be fairly easy to address the concern that was possed because the bits to the solution are already available.  They just need to be brought together.  So, be looking for a Big Red Button article/post and code in the near future.

So much for daily MMS updates

I had hopes of being able to post each day with relevant info as I heard it.  But, there were problems with the hotel wi-fi being over utilized and my PDA was sporatic in connecting to the MMS wi-fi network.

Anyway, I am very excited about a few things I've heard this week, especially some changes in the way clients do patching.

Hopefully I can do some recaps this weekend.

Oh, kudos to Sherry Kissinger and the others for keeping up on the daily posts.

Configuring Diarist v1.2.24 for myITforum
I have installed Diarist v1.2.24 (www.kevdaly.com/Software/Blogging/Diarist.aspx) onto my Dell AXIM X5 / PocketPC 2003 PDA so that I can post throughout the week about what's happening at MMS.

To use the program, I had to provide a couple configuration details.

First, add a web log: For myITforum, I had to use Community Server -> Web Service (1.1 / 2.0). Then specify the API URL as http://myITforum.com/cs2/blogs/BlogService.asmx. Finally, provide your blog user credentials and click next. If everything connected, the button text should change to SAVE.

Heading to MMS early Monday
I'll be heading out to this years MMS early Monday morning (arrive 4pm San Diego time). I'm hoping to spend as much time as I can networking with everyone. I'll also be assisting at the myITforum booth.

 

Please stop by and say hi.

 

BTW: I'll be presenting Friday on centralizing patch management (session SY30)
