TechEd 2009: Day 2

Definitely been able to get my geek on today: sessions on VHDs in Win7, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010, Windows Crash Dump Analysis and then ending ending with another Mark Minasi presentation entitled ‘Cracking Open Kerberos’.  I was even able to squeeze in a Hands-On Lab on App-V and also get to talk to some Microsoft staff in the Technology Learning Centre about some App-V issues and Forefront Client Security, with the only sacrifice being that I ended up not having anytime to grab any lunch.

The session on Crash Dump Analysis was really good.  Served as a refresher in some areas for me but I learnt a whole load of new stuff like how to debug a hung but (but not crashed) system.  Coolest thing of all was how to turn a BSOD into a RSOD.  This is the kind of stuff that I really enjoy, trouble is Windows is getting too reliable these days…

With the last session finishing at 18:15 it was time for the TechEd Welcome Reception in the exhibitors hall which means free beer & food, magicians(!) and the chance to blag some freebies…
