Tech Ed Wrap-Up
Friday, May 15, 2009 at 05:26PM Things we have learned from Tech Ed this year:
- “AD FS doesn’t break. If there’s a problem with your AD FS, it’s PKI. If it’s not PKI, then it’s a typo. If it’s not a typo, then it’s PKI.”
- #1, above, also applies to demos given in front of a theatre full of people, unfortunately!
- I…am now famous, both for #’s 1 and 2, above, as well as for: Active Directory and Windows Server 2008 R2, a 20-minute fishbowl chat that I did with the ever-engaging Mark Minasi. For those of you too impatient to watch the whole thing, I had this “lovely” moment of brain-freeze wherein Mark asked me something I’d never even contemplated before it came out of his mouth, and so there’s a few seconds of *sputter*splurt*spew* (one of those moments where, had I been drinking something, I probably would’ve snarfed it) on my part before he most nobly saves me from myself. :-)

The push when Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2 is released is going to be huge and a lot of work for years to come (I hope). The economy has to turn around too but that will come.
I do disagree with Mark about complex passwords. At this point people use them for online services like their credit cards and banking so is it still confusing to them?
I went to Mark's 2003 class a few years back and we talked about it then too.
The TechEd 2009 DVDs should be really good, I'll be getting them for sure.
Talk to you later
