Actually, I'm not speaking at WinConnections this fall. Politics and some change of focus for this event.
There will be a very strong Macintosh presence there this year for the first time (coinciding with the imminent release of Outlook 2011 for Macintosh), OCS presentations are taking up more slots than previously, and MANY of the sessions will be discussing Exchange 2010 service pack 1 (regardless of what the session list shows right now). The primary sponsors demanded more speaker slots and those that were left are filled by big names and Microsoft Certified Masters. But thanks for the offer. :) Regards, Michael B.

Tell me what your favorite beverage is and I'll gladly drop one off when I catch up with you at the Win Connections conference in Nov (you ARE going to be a speaker aren't you?) as I owe you at least that for your help.

I just wanted to publicly thank Michael B Smith for helping me out with the "password about to expire" .VBS script that he blogged about here: http://theessentialexchange.com/blogs/michael/archive/2007/11/13/sending-an-e-mail-to-users-whose-password-is-about-to-expire.aspx It needed a minor tweak to work in my environment and he took the time to help me out, now it works perfectly and saved us from spending $700 for a tool that we had budgeted for (I found the request in process and said "I think I can get this done with a script"). Instead of spending $700 + time to learn the new tool, we spent zero for purchase and took maybe an hour of my time. Thank you Michael! That MVP was well earned in my book!!!
