After 14 hours of flights I finally arrived in San Diego where the Microsoft Management Summit 2006 will be held. The summit starts on monday with registration and the opening reception. Starting from tuesday I will blog about the new, exciting and usefull stuff.

During those 4 days the focus of all content is on managing the dynamic IT environment using products, technologies and solutions from Microsoft. The solutions explored during the event will include the management of services running on Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms, as well as best practices in managing the Windows IT environment.

  • System Center Data Protection Manager
  • System Center Capacity Planner
  • Management Best Practice Solutions based on MOF/ITIL Process
  • Windows Server yoUpdate Services
  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Management Technologies
  • Group Policy
  • WS-Management
  • WMI
  • MONAD (Microsoft Command Shell)

During the event there will also be a focus on the new versions of some of our management products. I will post information on some of these items, as I planned to go to these sessions:

  • MOM V3
  • SMS V4
  • SMS R2
  • System Center Reporting Manager
  • WSUS 3.0 (Beta 1)
