For a taste of Dean's training [1] go to HP World in San Fran in August, he is putting on one of the few full day seminars and it is about AD Internals and DR. The content is just a snippet from one of his regular classes.
Here is a link about the seminar http://www.hpworld.com/conference/hpworld2005/hpw05_program_13.jsp I would be careful going to any training put on by Dean or his company. Your brain might hurt from learning too much. I recall once when Dean was telling Rick something Rick's eyeballs jumped clean out of his head because there was no more room, I swear I heard his ears pop too. Me... I ordered another beer and ignored them. I don't need to learn any more, I already can't recall most of what I know. Seriously though, Dean is certainly one of the few trainers I would actually sit down and listen to as I have no doubt I would learn something. There aren't many I would really sit and listen to, Russinovich and Solomon come to mind but they don't do AD. I have told Dean he needs to put out an AD Training DVD. He could sell that thing for like a couple of thousand USD and people would pay for it. The thing with Dean though is he likes classes to be hands on. He doesn't just want to tell you, he wants you to do it for yourself while he is right there so you know you got it right. You just have to get past that british accent. My g/f has heard him on the speaker phone a couple of times and she says his voice reminds her of Monty Python skits. ;o) Oh he's a natty dresser too... joe [1] Insert bad joke about tastes like chicken. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 5:42 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Training We provide Directory Services training to Microsoft's worldwide internal support staff, the curriculum we deliver requires a high degree of existing knowledge and is designed to provide detailed architectural and product-support information.

Great class for someone who already knows the book theory and is looking for instruction on how to fix some of the problems that you will encounter. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Brown Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD Training Anybody have any recommended training on Active Directory? already taken the "Microsoft Windows 2003 Configuring Active Directory Services" from Global Knowledge, but am looking for the next step I guess.
