Our user group has gone from 0-100 today. Within a few hours we had content on the site and registered users for our first meeting. Thanks go out to AG Research, Mitch Garvis, Microsoft Canada, and you.

As if I wasn’t busy enough, I’m also proof reading AtlSecCon sponsorship material for my good friend Travis Barlow, Founder of the Atlantic Security Conference. If you didn’t attend last year, you need to attend this year.

Hope to see you all on December 12!

The ABCs of Desktop Deployment: MDT, WDS, MAP, ACT, SCCM, USMT: You Can’t Spell DEPLOYMENT Without Them!

Windows 7 is the fastest selling operating system in history. With such high adoption rates, it is important for the desktop deployment engineer to know all of the tools available to make their lives easier… and most of those tools are free! This high-level session will provide an overview of the alphabet soup of deployment and compatibility tools, and a demo of most of them. Prepare to walk out of this session ready and eager to become your company’s deployment guru!
