Doing a little research today, I discovered that Microsoft has changed the room where I'll be teaching my session Demystifying the Configuration Manager SQL Database. The previous room was one of the smaller ones, but the new room seats 1000 people!

The last time I taught this session was back in 2006, and we had 400+ people who filled out evaluations (which means that more were actually in attendance) and the session ended up in 11th place in evaluation scoring overall. So, if you're planning on being at MMS in Vegas in the next couple of weeks, you won't regret stopping by on Monday from 3p to 4:15p in Veronese 2401B.

Here's the session abstract:

SCCM 2007 is a powerful management tool that sits atop a powerful database. While SCCM's administrative consoles are great for many tasks, there is great power in understanding the SQL that stores its data. Queries return faster. Reports and Collections are easier to create. In this deeply technical and hugely popular session, we'll shine a bright light on SCCM's SQL database. You'll learn how to relate what you see in the console to what you see in the database. You'll discover how to translate between SMS's internal WQL to native SQL. And you'll leave with the knowledge you need to create your own queries outside the console and create your own tools using SCCM's SQL data.

If you haven't signed up for MMS yet, unfortunately you're too late. For the first time ever MMS registration has filled up and new registrations are now closed.
