Videos: Jeremy Moskowitz on TechNet Live

TechNet Live (Netherlands) have just released some videos of a presentation done by fellow Group Policy MVP Jeremy Moskowitz. Both these videos are a great watch and Jeremy’s style is as always very entertaining…

The first video “Troubleshooting Group Policy” is the much better version of the session I presented at the last minute at TechEd NZ 2010 (see here Troubleshooting Group Policy) due to Jeremy being quarantined with suspected swine flu.

The other session “Total workstation lockdown: You action plan” shows how you can use Group Policy to configure a lockdown computer configuration.

TechNet Edge – Offline Folders and Folder Redirection with Anjli

Not strictly a Group Policy video but it does relate heavy to my Roaming Profiles and Folder Redirection (a.k.a. User State Virtualization) blog post.

Anjli is a program manager on the Windows team.  Adam Bomb  met with her recently to talk about offline folders and folder redirection in Windows. She talked about how the technologies work, when they should be used, and some of the ways we’ve improved the performance from previous releases. for more info, check out the whitepaper "Choosing an Appropriate User State Virtualization Solution" The Windows team blog also has some good posts on User State Virtualization here and here.
For more video goodness, there’s a 3 part series on user state scenarios located here.
