I'm Rob Marshall, a consultant who specialises in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager product. I like to share, i do so by blogging and helping out when I can in the MS SMS newsgroups and participating in the ConfigMgr MVP program.
I was awarded and joined the program in 2009. It'd be an understatement to say it has to be one of the best experiences an IT engineer can have, if they really enjoy specialising in a product.
My biggest weapon for troubleshooting is, my formidable knowledge, no, only joking, you, the community. I find if I cannot answer a question, then I can usually find the answer from using Bing\Google, pouring over the documentation, and if that doesn't work, tinkering in mine or someone elses virtual lab.
The blogs pretty much about ConfigMgr, but it is also a platform for me to express my random urges to display something I've stumbled across, and that I imagine would entertain you or what not as equally as it did me.
I personally know it can be hard to line up the next contract, and sometimes you can sit on the sidelines for several weeks\months while waiting for something to come along.
So, if you are a contracting SMS\ConfigMgr admin, with a good track record in using the products, live the UK and are always on the lookout for the next best thing ... give me a shout.
I currently have a list of ConfigMgr Admins that I ping an email too, whenever I get an email from various sources looking for someone to fill a contract. It consists mostly of my friends, and those SMS\ConfigMgr Admins that have approached me about work in the past.
If you are interested in joining my list, then send me an email rob [AT] wmug [DOT] co [DOT] uk
Do keep in mind, I promise nothing, and I am not a consultancy or recruitment company, I simply refer people whenever I'm hassled by an agency to fill a contract!
