6月12日 TechEd day 2First thing on the agenda was the Keynote... As usual Bob Muglia was doing this presentation. I don’t want to go into any details about the keynote or the sessions. But if I say the keynote was both predictable and a bit boring I don’t think I’ll offend anyone. Better luck next year :-) My first real session was “What’s new in SP1 in ConfigMgr”. Not a “tech sexy” topic, but I think Wally did a good job. The focus was on Asset Intelligence 1.5 and the Intel AMT feature (Out of band management). After lunch I went to a “Steve Reilly” session about security (do remember the session name). As always Steve was both entertaining and inspiring. He didn’t spend much time on specific products, but talked about privacy in general. During the years I’ve went to a lot of Steve’s sessions. This one was one of the best. The last to session was both presented by Michael Kelly. The sessions were part 1 and 2 in a series of four sessions on Operating System deployment with Configuration Manager 2007 and MDT 2008. I have seen similar session at both TechEd IT Forum in Barcelona and at MMS in San Diego last year, so my expectations were not that high… Shame on me… Both sessions were fantastic. Not only did he managed give allot of useful tips on OS deployment, Task Sequences and User State Migration, both he also managed to talk about level 300-400 content in a “non-sleepy way”… Great Job! After the conference we went to the “IT Pro Party”. The topic was the launch of the Springboard site. Free beer and… hmm… nothing else... really boring. So we went to the Jam Session instead. THAT was true fun. Amazing how many tech guys that can play the blues :) 6月10日 TechEd day 1 – Pre-ConferenceToday the Microsoft TechEd 2008 North America starts. What we traveled half around the globe to attend had finally begun. Monday was Pre-Conference day. I attended the “Deploying and Managing a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Environment” with Wally Mead as speaker. He started by telling us that we properly wouldn’t be able to complete the content of the session within the 7 hours available for the pre-conference :-) During the first half of today’s pre-conference, we was continually disturbed by the noise from the KeyNote practice. Loud bongo drums, and a hysteric woman that were yelling, for literally hours, did make the first part of the pre-conference a true pain. After lunch the bongo drums diapered. But after a few minutes they started testing the conference speakers… over and over… Somehow Wally got through the session without getting crazy. And I think he did a great job, but when you consider that we actually paid to be there, they should give us all a refund or at least an excuse. The content of the session covered the following topics (95% hands-on): Scenario 1 – Deploying a System Center Configuration Manager Environment
Scenario 2 - Deploying Configuration Manager Clients
Scenario 3 – Using Client Inventory Data
Scenario 4 – Distributing Software to Clients
Scenario 5 – Deploying Software Updates to Clients
Scenario 6 – Identifying Desired Configuration Compliance
Scenario 8 - Deploying Windows Vista via Network Boot
6月8日 TechEd Day “-1”I knew yesterday was going to be exciting, but it went beyond my imagination. We left the Hampton Inn in Fort Lauderdale at 8 am. We drove south, heading for the Tamiami trail (route 41). The first stop was the “Shark Vally Visitor Center”. At the entrance we saw the first amazing animal. I have no idea what the turtle is called, but check out these pictures:
At the parking lot we saw this little fellow:
Baby aligators… Cute…!
The adult aligators… And a lot of amazing birds.
We arrived at the hotel in Orlando 10 pm last night. We have no plans for today, but think it’ll be either another day of shopping, or we’ll spend the day in SeaWorld… Lets see what happens. Tomorrow the Microsoft TechEd events starts, and I’ll start focusing on the technical stuff again :-) 6月7日 TechEd Day “-2”Yesterday was amazing… We actually managed to spend more than 9 hours of non-stop shopping. Not even my wife can beat that :-) Today we are heading for Orlando. We plan to drive through the Everglades National Park. The largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, visited by more than one million people each year. This is how our trip is planned, and hopefully we’ll arrive at our hotel in Orlando around 8 pm tonight. 6月6日 TechEd Day “-3”Yesterday, my travel mates (Peter Schmidt and Jens Ole Kragh) and I, arrived at the hotel in Fort Lauderdale (Hampton Inn), where we’re staying for the next couple of days. The flight from Frankfurt in Germany to Miami was almost 10 hours. The flight was less than 50% booked, so even on “monkey class”, the flight was comfortable. Last time I visited Miami was 15 years ago, so I wanted to check out downtown Miami to see if anything has changed. We went to the Bayside Marketplace to grab some food and a beer at Hooters. Everything looked excalty the way it did 15 years ago… Amazing. Today we’re going to “shop ‘till we drop” in the “Sawgrass Mill”. The Sawgrass Mill is one of the biggest shopping malls in the United States, so I might have a chance to find something great to bring home to my wife and my son. Tomorrow (Saturday) we’re going check out from the hotel early, and drive though the Everglades National Park. The Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee. We plan to arrive in Orlando late Saturday night. 6月3日 Orlando here we come…Tomorrow I'm leaving for "TechEd North America IT Professionals" (IT Forum) in Orlando. One of the biggest Microsoft events in the world for IT Pro's. This time my main focus will be on Configuration Manager 2007 R2, Windows Server 2008 Branch Office Senarios and Hyper-V (Apparently, they are ahead of schedule and there's a whirlwind of rumours that Microsoft will launch it next week). One of the great things about TechEd is opportunity to meet with colleagues, customers, partners and friends. If you want to have a chat, coffee or a beer during the event just give me a call +45 2085 9452 and I'll arrange something. So expect either blog silence or multiple blog posts about my week in Orlando. Either way I will enjoy the week. 1月24日 TechEd 2008 - Registrations are now openMicrosoft has now opend for registrations to TechEd 2008 in Orlando. This year the event is split in a TechEd Developer and a TechEd IT Pro event, like it has been in Europe (Barcelona) for some time.
The Tech·Ed U.S. 2008 IT Professionals Conference is June 10-13, 2008, with Pre-conference seminar on June 9th. |
