Just a quick reminder that our next monthly SCCM Guru event is on October 19, 2011.
I’ve never been one to promote myself (since I’m both emceeing AND presenting this month), so I’ll stick with just promoting the event. The SCCM Guru series continues to see phenomenal success with over 1,000 registrants each session.
October’s topic is a unique one:
The G.I. Joe Method for Troubleshooting Configuration Manager 2007
- because knowing is half the battle!

If you’re not aware, we’ve been working feverishly to release myITforum.com 3.0. The new site provides a huge number of features that we’ve envisioned since the very beginning, but are now able to make available. One of those features is a full-featured User Group management system. We’ve been testing with a couple User Groups and are now ready to roll this out to all User Groups.
Here’s an example of the NEASMSUG page:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/groups/new-england-area-sms-user-group-neasmsug/
The new hosted UG pages give you the ability to create user group member-only areas, upload meeting collateral, build a notification system (email or web site) for your users, post photos from your meetings and full management of your events through our new event management system.
It’s easy to get started. Just create a user account on the new site, and then head to the Groups page.
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/groups/
Click “Create a Group” and a wizard will walk you through the creation of the group.
Even if you host your User Group pages elsewhere, this is a great way to include the ability to notify your users of upcoming events, and reach the largest audience possible.
Vendors – communicate directly with User Group leaders to organize sponsorships of meetings, demos, and visits.

…particularly now.
Last Friday’s company meeting brought about a lot of interesting material.
http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2011/09/friday-friday-friday-microsoft-company.html
The Mini-Microsoft blog is written by an actual, super-secret Microsoft employee, and as you can see from the comments on the blog, a lot of present and former Microsoft employees like to chime in.
Some things of note in the recent blog post:"
- Windows Phone was dead on arrival
- So was Azure
- A lot of MS employees are as anti-Cloud as IT Admins

You’ve been hearing us talking about it here and there, but we’re working hard to bring you the next level in System Center and Windows management community in a way that we actually envisioned from the very beginning. The tools we wanted simply weren’t available when myITforum.com started out, but finally the tools have caught up with our vision.
Today, we pushed out a change the main myITforum.com home page, where you can access myITforum.com 3.0 right now to help us test and to get feedback. If you look at the myITforum.com menus right now, you’ll see a link to myITforum.com 3.0 that everyone can now use to preview the new community site.
There’s still a lot to do, but there’s already a bunch of content and other things you’ll want to dig into and check out. Feel free to create an account on the new site so you can join groups and check out some of the important downloads and even the photo galleries, like the one’s in the new Microsoft Management Community Group.
As we continue to progress on features and code, we’ll be rolling out new “How To” videos and posting information about how to view them. You can also find all of the videos on our YouTube channel.

We’re pretty sure you’re going to love what you can actually do with the new features, but as always – please, please, please give us feedback and report any bugs you may find.
Thanks!
