[Amateur-SIG] Microsoft coming to Dayton November 16th

[George Ewing]

Microsoft coming to Dayton November 16th !!
They will be presenting 4 sessions, see below, that day at the Regal
Theaters near the Fairfield Mall.
I know a lot of IT people around Dayton hate to travel to Columbus or
Cincinnati for these sessions and Matt has told me that Microsoft will be
paying very close attention to the number of attendees and if the interest
is here they will continue to bring the sessions back to the Dayton area.
So, please join me in  'Packing the House' for one or two of the sessions
listed below.

Where is Matt headed to next?
Or should I say where do I get to visit this week? I have been doing a lot
of travel since the beginning of Oct and I will be pretty much non-stop
until close to the end of the year. So where am I headed to next? We have
just started our TechNet events and I am back on the road. We have some
great content and one more quarter to go before launch! In fact last week I
talked with a great group of folks from Indianapolis, you can see their
questions here: Indianapolis Event

You can learn more about the sessions and what we are going to be covering
by clicking here: <http://www.technetevents.com/mhester> . We will be
covering Exchange 2007 and Active Directory and based on time at the event
there is an option for a 
third BONUS session (you have to attend to see
what that will be). J Additionally, I will need some help during the show,
so bring your IT skills.
Here is a summary for the two main topics:
Message Security, Compliance and Message Protection with Exchange Server
2007
Your e-mail system is constantly being bombarded with unwanted and
undesirable messages, and as a messaging administrator, it's your job to
keep the system as clean as possible. Keeping e-mail secure while in transit
is enough to keep you up at night, especially while potentially sensitive
messages are traveling through your organization or moving to other
organizations across un-trusted networks including the Internet. We will
take a look at how Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 changes the game to
address all these concerns with policies and powerful new functionalities
that are simple to set up and easy to administer.
Harness the Power of Active Directory
Who doesn't need more power and control? We will discuss how to secure your
Active Directory database while taking advantage of the power and control
functions. One of the main topics: Group Policy! Group policy gives great
control features and we will detail the inner workings of both the group
policy and ADM templates. We will also talk about the Windows Vista group
policy enhancements, which the new platform will provide to you
