You know that old saying about a butterfly flapping it's wings causing a hurricane a thousand miles away? Well, a thunderstorm in Chicago causes repercussions around the world. I finally landed at...
Mark your calendars. MMS 2009 April 27 - May 1, Las Vegas. See you there!
Some miscellaneous thoughts around MMS and the Venetian hotel. Venetian Coffee - Good. Better than average, and kept stocked throughout the venue. I'd like to see the pots they use to make coffee for...
The Reality of the Cloud Ok, I missed some of this due to working some last night (a new Ops Manager RMS Server!), excess sleep and work to catch up on this morning. But I did get there in time to hear...
OS Deployment with SCCM : Part 1 This session was pretty well full. Given the capabilities of SCCM and OSD, I'm not surprised. This slide deck is going to be a must have if you deploy OS's with...
SCCM 2007 Scripting and Console Extensions : Greg Ramsey For those of us that live and die by the community written console extensions for SMS 2003, this session is a must. Where would we be without the...
Managing The Dynamic Desktop Microsoft Funny Guy : Still not so much. User - Centric Computing : Delivering an application to a user in a seamless fashion regardless of the device they use to connect....
Extending Operations Manager Cameron Fuller's session was well attended and well done. He went through a slew of Community and Third - Party extensions to SCOM, including (but not limited to): Override...
Some awesome announcements in the keynote address. First off, the comedian guy at the beginning : the "show of hands" line of jokes was funny last year. Not so much this year. Won't be at...
What a zoo! I think all four thousand attendees were lined up trying to get in the doors. The line went back nearly to the casino (if not all the way there by the time the doors opened) and that wasn't...
Advice : Start the VM's as soon as you sit down! Be careful when closing items in the VM that you don't close the VM itself! You don't want to have to start the lab over. Not that I did that...
If you are an MMS Alumni, make sure you stop by the Alumni room, if only to pick up your official polo shirt.
Ok, I get it. The Venetian is gargantuan. I think it's as far from my room to the conference center as it was last year in San Diego. I exaggerate a bit, but not much. I'm finally learning the...
Here and cranked up to start MMS tomorrow. Congratulations to the fine folks at American Airlines for getting both me and my checked bag to the same place at the same time. This time.
Heading out to MMS tomorrow. Given past experience, I'm packing two days worth of clothes in my carry on and praying for the bag I'll check. I'll blog things of interest while I'm there...
Finally got approval to attend MMS! Immediately went and signed up for initial 3 sessions, which are open for alumni now. The session schedule is also available here. If you've not been to MMS, it's...
My notes from MMS. MMS : Day Four Today begins with a great keynote session involving a breakout discussion among four major CIO / IT Manager types : Carnival Cruise, Dell, EDS, and Virgin. The discussion...
My notes from MMS. MMS : Day Three Day three and we have sunny skies, less wind, and real bacon for breakfast. Not a bad combo. I'm idle until 10:15, so catching up on some work and correspondence...
My notes from MMS. MMS Day Two Another long day.... and night. It's a good thing that there's a Starbucks in the convention center. The one tool no one tells you about is caffeine. Use it liberally...
So I know that MMS is long since over, but thought I’d post some notes I took at the time anyway. MMS : Day One Here in scenic San Diego for MMS . First day was long, but worthwhile. The walk from the...
