questions
Hi Dave,
This will be my fourth DEC and everyone
has been worth it. I think I have learned more at this conference than any
other I have attended. It is very focused, intimate and full of some incredibly
interesting people who are out there doing it.
The content ranges in complexity but
almost all is going to be accessible if you have been working with AD for
years. What helps at this show is after the talk you are having conversations
with attendees who can clarify topics based on their own experiences as well as
provide tips on how it may be applicable to your situation.
Like Joe mentioned the ability to have
candid conversations with people from Microsoft is also incredibly valuable.
There are a slew of Microsoft people there and they are all focused on
Directories and surrounding technologies.
The networking outside of the Microsoft
people is also a great value.
Oh yeah, occasionally watching hung over
people try to pay attention to deep DNS discussions is sort of fun as well
<G>. Being a hung over person trying to pay attention to deep DNS
discussions, well, that is not quite as fun!
I hope to see you there.
Kevin

Hope you don't mind these...
My company has considered the idea
of sending a couple of us to the conference, but are wondering if they
should use our vouchers to have us attend some AD troubleshooting
workshops [by Microsoft] instead. While I don't know any specific details
as to what that entails, we've also never been to one of these DECs! Our
managers have asked us to justify in writing what we think we'll get out of
this conference, and if it will prove more worthwhile than the MS offering
(again - sorry that I don't know exactly *what* that is).
Myself? I have 4+ years
in a live AD environment, and can honestly say that some of what I've seen
written on this list zooms high overhead (!), while other stuff falls right in
line, so am hoping that I would be a good candidate to attend.
I see many testimonials, etc...on
the conf. website, so just hoping to get any brief thoughts from anyone - with
many thanks in advance!
