Tech.Ed Day 2 | Full Wrap
So Tech.Ed day 2 is really now over and I’m back in the hotel room, sorted a MOSS issue and have a minute to myself..
So today..once again the labs in the Exchange 2010 workshop didn’t work too well, to his credit Gordon Ryan was outstanding as a trainer and coped well with the set backs. All 9’s from me on the eval (labs excluded) although massive thanks goes to Corey (Sorry if i get this wrong… but from Hayes IT) who created the HOL experience. He came in and explained the Hardware incompatibilities with Hyper-V RTM which forced a change to Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 which had other issues. Either way doesn’t matter it was a great 2 days with Gordo so thanks for that.
Tonight was the opening night and it was great to run into both Paul Grant and Wal Komar two friends from Canberra. Spent some time with David McGhee from Microsoft and also with Dean Corcoran and Roland Leggat from DDLS (DiData Learning Services) talking Win 7 and WS2008R2. A really great start to the week
On other news through my absolute persistent tweeting today I scored a Windows 7 hoodie. Check out either #auteched or #shamelesswantahoodyplug for a list of today’s fun with @ohcrap and @themolk.
Tomorrow conference proper kicks in with the key note at 0815. Sadly I’m already sad that we are two days in. The week goes so fast.
On a last minute note and this really should be at the top of the blog rather than the bottom but I had the privilege of chatting with Adam from TechNet Edge today. Awesome guy and really glad he is out here for Tech.Ed Australia. Can’t wait to see Scott Schnoll speak either.
Tech.Ed 2010 pre-registration is now open and from www.msteched.com you can catch up with all the latest, including some presentations available to non-attendees of the conference.
