Hi all, Greg here -

This week I'm out of the office in San Francisco where I'll be teaching eleven different sessions for the TechMentor Conference. This time, I'm giving a bunch of new sessions in addition to some old favorites:

Pre- and Post-Con Four-Hour Sessions:

• Introducing Windows Server 2008: What's New / What's Changed


• Advanced Windows Server 2008: What's New / What's Changed


• Getting to Know Virtualization with VMware

75-Minute Breakout Sessions:

• Tips & Tricks for the Windows Firewall


• Tips You Should Know for Preventing an AD Failure


• Unveiling What's New & Exciting in W2008 Terminal Services


• Best Practices in Managing the New Windows Event Log


• The Best Free Tools for Windows Server Troubleshooting


• IE7 Deep Dive


• Automating Performance Management & Collection

In addition to these, Don Jones and I are keynoting and emceeing the Wild Wednesday evening festivities on (wouldn't you guess it, but) Wednesday night. This is my first keynoting opportunity at an IT conference and Don and I's first joint speaking engagement.

I'll let you know how it goes when I get back. If these sound interesting to you, consider joining us in Orlando in May where we'll be repeating many of these (with a few new twists).

In the mean time, posting to the blog will be a little slow this week. While I'm gone, I'll be presenting to my April column in this month's Windows Administration in Realtime e-Journal. This will be a four-part series on Unraveling Windows DNS Resolution.
