I’m in Ottawa, ON, Canada – just about to visit with a small, really focused System Center partner Silect.
Silect have a couple of great products focused on consulting and deployment teams as well as the IT Pro tasked with creating knowledge.
Of real interest is CP Studio – which dramatically simplifies the task of building Configuration Packs for System Center Configuration Manager Desired Configuration Management.
I’m meeting with Harold Dyck – the CEO and one of the founders of Silect – I’ll post more tomorrow.

Researching the upgrade from MySQL 5.0 to 5.1
by ezs | Feb 18, 2009 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized
I came to the realisation that I’d not blogged about technology for weeks on this site – and for months on TechNet.
The problem I’ve got is that most of the work with partners is still not released and is under NDA. That really makes for a slow blogging period.
We’re approaching Microsoft Management Summit and some of the partner work is now in beta. I’ll make sure to blog on the System Center Operations Manager R2 Cross Platform Management extensions and the partners involved in that soon.

Get the full details here http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/01/07/information-on-downloading-and-installing-windows-7-beta.aspx
Get in quick – only the first 2.5 million downloads will get it.
On January 9th, the Windows 7 Beta will be available for Windows enthusiasts to download via the Windows 7 page on Windows.com. The Windows 7 Beta is going to be available download-only (we’re not sending out physical media) and available for a limited time to the first 2.5 million people who download the beta.
I’ve been using Windows 7 pre-beta for a few months. It’s pretty solid.
