Microsoft Virtualization
May 10th, 2010, keaotixAttend this free Virtualization event and get up to date with Microsoft’s Virtualization technologies! This event will travel to 6 capital cities starting at the end of May and continuing throughout June. Please see all the details below of the event along with registration links! Make sure you register now as seats are limited!
To attend this event you will need to bring your own laptop with you. To connect to the labs you will need the Remote Desktop Connection Client 7.0 Update installed. This client is built into Windows 7 and is a free download for Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP1 and SP2. We have already run these events in other countries and it works very well. Each event is hosted in the local Microsoft office or a location with good internet connectivity. So with those details out of the way let’s hope many of you decide to take up this offer. There will be food provided and in each city we will be giving away a copy of the latest Hyper-V Resource Kit. So to the agenda:

Other Details
We are capping registrations at 70 participants per city due to room capacities and because we can take up to 40 concurrent connections to the infrastructure back in Redmond. If we get more than 40 participants then we will need to double up attendees when doing the labs. This will be fine as the labs work fine with a partner.
So with that I hope to see many of you at this free Virtualization event. Did I mention it was free and you might win a book and you will get fed! What more could you ask for! I will be conducting the training in Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide. Giovanni will be covering the Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
