For those of you who have been to NetPro‘s DEC conference, you know that this is just about the best AD and MS Identity Management conference there is. Well, Group Policy is not left out at this year’s upcomfing DEC 2008 in Chicago (*TGINV!). For the 3rd year in a row, I’ll be presenting at DEC–this time it will be 2 sessions on Group Policy. The first session is called "Automating Group Policy" and I’ll focus on how you can use scripting (Powershell & VBScript) to automate the management of Group Policy in your environment. the second session is called "Group Policy Performance". In this session I’ll look at some of the design considerations that can affect the performance of GP processing and how you can "design for performance" when it comes to GP.
So, if you’re thinking about a conference next year, I highly recommend DEC as a great place to pick up some solid AD and Group Policy knowledge. See you there!
