April Meeting

John Nelson and I will be speaking on the first day of MMS if you're going. But if you can't make it to MMS, you can see that very same presentation at the April MiSC User Group Meeting on April 23rd. #2 and I will do a dry-run of our MMS presentation. Free! And the best part is that if you ARE going to MMS, then you can skip our session and go wait in line for a myITforum party badge which will be given out at the same time.

Brian Mason (MS MVP SMS) and John Nelson (www.number2blog.com) will show you how to speed SQL & web reports so that they don't melt your server, time out, or make your boss wonder if you know what you're doing. While Brian writes a few reports (with an SMS/SCCM focus), John will improve Brian's attempts (with a SQL focus). You'll get tips on how to find that data you're collecting quickly and present it in speedy web reports or pivot tables. You'll get tips on keeping SQL healthy and lean, and what to look for when building a new server. How will Wells Fargo install SQL for its 200K client infrastructure? From web reports to SQL Management studio to SMS/SCCM, let the Wells Fargo guys show you how they'd do it and answer any questions along the way.

The meeting is again at the Microsoft Bloomington Office, 9th floor - around 4:30pm.
