Cliff Hobbs is a UK-based systems management consultant who specialises in the various systems management tools covered by his website FAQShop.com such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) and Systems Management Server (SMS).Having worked with SMS since 1998 Cliff has gained extensive experience of designing, deploying, and supporting large enterprise-wide systems management solutions on behalf of companies such as EDS, 1E and Getronics.In recognition of his contribution to the Systems Management community Microsoft awarded Cliff the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for SMS in January 2004 which has been re-awarded in all subsequent years.Having grown up with the PC from the days of the IBM AT and PC-DOS 3.3, he has an extensive knowledge of several operating systems and applications gained through his present and past employment with companies such as EDS, Du Pont, Abbey National and Getronics, amongst others.The prime goal of FAQShop.com is to help people use Systems Management technology to make their lives easier - not for technology to control their lives which is reflected in this site's mission statement:
'Ensuring you get the best of IT'.
So with only one sleep left until the big fat fella drops down our chimneys to bring our presents and drink our beer I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you that have helped me, supported FAQShop/ WMUG, read this blog, contributed, attended meetings, asked questions, etc.
2009 has been the best year yet for WMUG with not only some great physical events but also our first LiveMeetings which seems to have gone down really well.
There is more of the same planned for 2010 plus some BIG changes coming on the FAQShop front so stay tuned…!!!
In closing I just want to say thank you once again and to wish you, your families and loved ones a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
See you in 2010 and stay safe in the mean time.
