2. Microsoft Management Summit (MMS)

Here’s how you can participate…

For the SMS area, send us your stories about working with SMS in it’s various versions, from 1.x to 2.x, and we’ll post them in the Wiki. These could be from small anecdotes about how version 1.x destroyed your network, to how 2.x was leaps and bounds above earlier versions. Anything you want to say and share, just drop an email about it.

For the MMS area, there are a couple things you can do to help. First, we need links to your MMS pictures. If you have MMS pictures posted on the Internet somewhere, drop us a link and we’ll add it to the Wiki page for MMS. The other thing you can do is to send us your MMS stories. MMS is a great place to network with your peers and have a lot of fun, all while learning about Microsoft management products. Send in those stories and we’ll post them to the MMS Wiki for all to read and see.

Drop your stories and links to: admin@myITforum.com
