I will get with them on these and let the list know what they are teaching on these points. Maybe have a conversation on list about real-world versus educated guesses.

One or the other? Weave both? etc. -G On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Rixton, Gareth <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: - In regards to what tool to use for reading the logs, ask them what they think of cmtrace. Wally Mead is still the only guy in the world I've ever met who doesn't like it! :P - Maybe ask them about the flow of work that happens under the hood from the admin console to the server. Clicking buttons > Translated to WQL > Converted to SQL > Server queried. It helped me relax about the unavoidable wait times when opening collections and stuff. - Perhaps put them on the spot about duplicate objects that can occur when Heartbeat Discovery and AD discovery overlap. (At least I think that's what goes on when there's a dupe in our environment.) - Ask them about any recommended suites of community tools that may be available for improving user experience during a deployment, etc. - What are some pros and cons of MDT integration in general and in a multi-site environment? - Maybe see if they can't get into any of the available PowerShell CMDlets too. - Ask them to elaborate on the scalability of SCCM. A single management point can handle many more machines than I was expecting. They should hopefully have some good real world examples. - What are some examples of software deployment best practices? What are some of the benefits of deploying "Applications" instead of "Packages"? - What are some pros and cons of utilizing an internal PKI to force everything to talk on 443 instead of 80? I could probably think of even more random ones, but this is probably more than you've asked for already. :P Have a good one, Gareth Rixton IT Advanced Analyst Pima Community College [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 520-206-4526<tel:520-206-4526> On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 1:35 PM, Heriberto Contreras <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I second that.
