Event Overview

We focus on automating Windows 7 operating system deployments using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager in this webcast. First, we cover how to automate hardware and software inventory using Asset Intelligence to determine what applications and hardware are needed for deploying Windows 7. Next, we examine deploying Windows 7 packages, and we discuss how to add Windows 7 packages to System Center Configuration Manager and then the deploy packages to bare metal machines and existing Windows Vista clients across the enterprise.

Friday, August 21, 2009 1:32 PM


With all the talk about 70-401 exam this week and with at least 3 new MCTS. I thought that I would update the stats on my blog.

Here are the old stats from April 2009, if you want to compare them.
http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2009/06/05/how-many-certified-system-center-people-are-there-april-2009.aspx

I add the VMM MCTS stats too, are you one?

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007: Configuration 2,414
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007: Configuration  1,686
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Configuration 478

The numbers are from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-overview.aspx#tab5, I wish that they would put at date on these stats.
