RE: [ActiveDir] AD Monthly E-Mail Newletter?
Jackson I agree it would be very useful indeed, especially as Guido says it is coming from you guys. Amit -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: 20 June 2004 13:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Monthly E-Mail Newletter? Yes Jackson, that would be a good idea, especially considering the source where the newsletter would be coming from. There are a lot of newletters out there and I read quite a few of them, but customers often want this type of information from the source (sad but true, that this is sometimes more important than the content...) It would be best if the newsletter doesn't only highlight new development around AD - it should also be an honest newsletter, which highlights latest known issues and workarounds (e.g. The latest security hotfix XXX has shown to cause the following issues in AD...; if you plan to deploy it, you should also consider deploying the fixes YYY and ZZZ along with it etc.) If you'd consider the above to be part of your content, then the target audience wouldn't only be smaller customers consultants, but every AD administrator and consultant. And I'm sure you'll find quite a few good contributors for your AD newsletter right in this mailing list ;-) /Guido -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jackson Shaw Sent: Freitag, 18.
