Welcome to my blog :-)

This blog will cover everything I can in the desktop systems management space. I hope to get a number of HowTo's up with a rating of how tricky they are, e.g.

Simple - Getting an instance of ConfigMgr up and running the 'right' way on Windows 2008 R2

Tricky – Changing the default user profile in Windows 7 and deploying it to the enterprise

Hard - Managing remote Windows Mobile clients with a native mode ConfigMgr installation.

and geting a bunch of current and topical conversations going

Who am I to be giving this advice? Well I do it for a living so I guess I am kinda qualified but as with anything else you read on the web, it might be wrong, really wrong or damaging to your production environment


Caveat Emptor and always follow the 5 rules of implementation.

I work as an IT consultant for a company called Gen-i in Sydney, Australia and I look after all manner and sizes of clients and cover a number of disciplines; Windows 7 design, SOE design, Application rollout and management, patch management, operating system delivery and Microsoft's System Centre Configuration Manager are my core competencies but I also help out with virtualisation, VDI, any System Centre products, asset management and a heap of other things.

Let me know what you think of the design and whatnot, all constructive feedback gratefully received.
