Looking for a UK based ConfigMgr admin
21 July 2008 12:32

Isn't it funny, as that saying goes, you wait around for a bus and three come along at once. Well I've not been waiting for a bus, instead I've been waiting around for some exceptional ConfigMgr projects to get stuck in too. I'm taken care of now, but wonder if there are any UK ConfigMgr consultants\contractors out there that are twiddling their... Read More...

WMUG Event on the 15th of July 2008
21 July 2008 12:21

I just cannot believe it was only last Tuesday that we had the WMUG meeting take place. The days since just seem to have slide by, with hardly a chance to come up for air and jump on to the WMUG site. A big thank you to all that attended. A good time was had by all it seems, with great feedback on what you want to do at these events. We had (for us) an amazing... Read More...

SCCM2007 - Exam
14 June 2008 11:52

I passed the 70-401 - Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 exam yesterday (13th June 2008). Wasn't as easy as the SMS2003 exam I have to admit. But, I passed with a score high enough to make me buzz all day. I found some of the questions to be really challenging, a lot of NAP and Software Udpates questions, a spread of what I'm calling generic... Read More...

Interview: The MS System Center Product Teams
15 November 2007 16:06

Members! We have a great opportunity to put together questions for the Microsoft System Center Product Teams, that will form the basis of a series of Interviews over the coming months. It would be great to get some questions put together that come from the Community itself, rather than just ones the WMUG team can generate. It would be really cool if any of you... Read More...

WMUG October Event
23 October 2007 12:17

What an event, I was pleased to see the turn out, and this time around it was mostly SMS engineers, compared to the Reading MMS Summit where we had mostly MOM engineers! My presentation wasn't very technical at all. It was real tricky for me, as I was trying to gauge the audience based on the previous meeting (all MOM!) and expected no one to really know...
