Well, spent most of the bank holiday putting the finishing touches to the slides and lab for next weekends PubForum presentation. The first complete run-through timed exactly to 90 minutes which is quite a feat, but it was a bit stop-and-start as I was making adjustments to my notes at several points, but at least the real timings should allow for some questions at the end.

The grass on the front lawn is now knee high and it was tempting not the join the other half of the street who were busy gardening this weekend (plus it was sunny), but hey - at least SCCM is working! What d'ya mean no one cares??

Discovered a limitation of the NVidia video driver under Server 2008 in that it won't do screen mirroring, which is going to cause a few issues for the demos next week. Well, it's not the video driver as such, just the lack of Windows Mobility Centre that allows for some of the more advanced screen configurations under Vista.

I did manage to install the Delaware preview and try out the new web interface - pretty impressive! The thing that puzzled me most - why Citrix have renamed the good old CMC to be the "Advanced Configuration Manager" - just bizarre!

Once PubForum is out of the way, I'll have much more time to finish the two white papers I'm working on - "AppSense v PowerFuse", and "Reporting on compliance" so keep an eye out for those sometime in June hopefully.
