TechEd 2012 Video: How to Get Rid of Your Logon Scripts the Easy And Free Way

The second recording of my three session I presented at TechEd NZ 2012 has now been published on the Channel 9 web site (Microsoft, not Australia TV). Essentially this is my Group Policy Preferences session and is one I have done many times before. Certainly this was my highest rated session at about position #30 out of 180 session for the entire event. So… if you are still running logon scripts in your organisation then you should definitely check out the video below…

My Trip to New Zealand

homepagefernThis week I was lucky enough to visit  New Zealand to speak at TechEd New Zealand 2012. I would like to thank the delegates that attend my three session that all gave very good feedback to my sessions. These session were recorded so if you were not luck to catch me in person I will be sure to blog about it here when they are published.

A few weeks about I was very excited to hear that Paul Thurrott was going to be at the event speaking at the keynote. Luckily I was able to catch the start of the Keynote by 10 minutes due to my flight to NZ only getting in only 90 minutes before it started and for anyone who has ever gone from the Auckland Airport to the city know you will know that this was pretty good run…

During the Keynote there Paul demonstrated a Qualcomm Reference device running Windows RT and a 82 inch 100 point touch full HD Perspective Pixel computer running Windows 8.

Finally on the last day I also recorded an episode of the NZ Tech Podcast with / by Paul Spain . Here we talked about all thing Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and Nokia including some predictions as to what might happen in the next few weeks.

And then…

Paul Thurrott came down recorded another episode of the NZ Tech Podcast . So I was super excited to meet him and have a bit of chat. I was then also lucky to be able to sit in on the recording of his episode. Needless to say after being a huge fan of Paul Thurrott’s it was a real trip to actually meet him in person…
