Introducing the Desktop Deployment Info Center  From the Editor: by Marilyn Cohodas, SearchWin2000.com Senior Site Editor It's hard to believe that summer is over. While most of us have been out of the back-to-school routine for some time, our biological clocks still tell us that September is the time to sharpen our pencils and buckle down to learn! Let me share with you some exciting new fall webcasts and programs that will help you do just that. For those of you still on NT -- or even if you are not -- you won't want to miss Mark Minasi's live webcast NT 4.0: Hold 'em or fold 'em? In his inimitable, tell-it-like-it-is style, Minasi will share his views about when an operating system as popular as NT 4.0 truly becomes obsolete. Want to know about the little bug that might be the NT 4.0-killer? Pre-register for this Sept. 16, 2 p.m EST event and find out. Later in the month, our resident guru, Ed Tittel will serve up some post Windows Server 2003 certification strategy in a webcast entitled MS Certification: Stay the course with Win2k or plunge into Windows Server 2003? You can log onto the on-demand webcast on September 30 from the SearchWin2000.com webcast page. And finally, if your company is about to take the plunge into Active Directory -- or even if it is actively deploying AD -- keep your eyes open for our new Learning Guides on Active Directory planning and management. We'll be rolling out part one in mid-September. Stay tuned for details in this column. You definitely won't want to miss this series!
