SMSUG.ca Forums
Thursday, July 01, 2010 9:44 AM
I have decided that the forums on www.SMSUG.ca are not being used and due to some SPAMMER populating the membership list, I have closed them down. This is a good thing as it means I will arrange for the site to be convert to a blog only site. With the new site will come a new look a feel.

Free MS SQL 2008 administrator certification
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 8:23 AM

Neither MDT nor WSUS work without it either.   So without SQL there is no ConfigMgr / SMS /v.Next / CM11... Read More...
