A TechNet Deployment event with a difference. You have asked us for more information to help you to understand WHY and HOW you should deploy a piece of technology. This session, focused towards large organisations, will look at the application-related technical obstacles and overheads which can stand in the way of achieving a flexible, desktop environment, capable of responding to ever-changing business and physical needs. This event is one of two pilots to see if we can meet your needs in this area.

21 September 2007, Reading: Creating and Managing a Virtual Environment on the Microsoft Platform

This new-style TechNet event, driven by powerful product demos, will start by explaining the environment we’ll be working in, then jump straight into a server deployment using Windows Deployment Services. The new server will form part of a server cluster, with workloads subsequently created to run on the cluster. These workloads will be created using Windows Server Virtualisation, with which we’ll create a number of Virtual Machines; Domain Controller, DNS & DHCP VMs. We’ll also create a Windows Server 2008 ‘Server Core’ installation. We’ll then explore clustering further, specifically the failing over of workloads between nodes. We’ll close with a session dedicated to managing this infrastructure, using tools such as System Center Operations Manager (SCOM, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager, MOM), System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and the fantastic new command line shell and scripting language, PowerShell.

24 September 2007, Reading: Zero Touch Deployment of Windows Vista & Microsoft Office

A TechNet Deployment event with a difference. You have asked us for more information to help you to understand WHY and HOW you should deploy a piece of technology. This session will look at the ROI and long term, ongoing benefits to the manageability of your desktop environment; the deployment tools and support you are entitled to as part of your current Microsoft Agreement (if you have one); and how to access and utilise tools and services for zero touch deployment. This event is one of two pilots to see if we can meet your needs in this area and is specifically aimed at IT Professionals in medium-sized organisations.
