Next SCCM Guru Webcast reminder: October 19th, 2011
04 October 11 04:14 PM | rodtrent | with no comments

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!

User Groups on myITforum.com 3.0
04 October 11 11:31 AM | rodtrent | with no comments

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.
