A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to attend one of John Craddock and Sally Storey’s XTSeminars on Windows Server 2008 (those who were at the inaugural Active Directory User Group meeting would have got a taster). I’d blogged about the event beforehand and it really was an excellent use of my time – I can’t understate how good these seminars are (think 2 whole days of detailed presentations and demonstrations, diving pretty deep in places, with none of the marketing overhead you would have in a Microsoft presentation).

If the credit crunch hasn’t hit your training budget yet, then you might want to consider one of the workshops that are scheduled for the spring and the current dates are:

• 25-26 February 2009, Microsoft Active Directory Internals.
• 11-12 March 2009, Active Directory Disaster Prevention and Recovery.
• 18-19 March 2009, Windows Server 2008.

If you do decide that you’re interested in one of these sessions and you book onto it – please mention my name (of even get in touch with me to let me know) – it won’t make any difference to your booking process but it will help me if they know you heard about the seminars on this blog!
