The Boston Area Windows Server User Group (www.WindowsBoston.org) is sponsoring a training class “Windows 7 deployment Hands-on lab event” for their members and to the local technology community.
The primary focus will be on deploying Windows 7 but other operating systems will be covered as well. The presentation will be put on by volunteer
steering committee members and local technology leaders Clyde Johnson, President of WindowsBoston.org and Dan Stolts, IT Evangelist for Microsoft Corporation.
The event will be held at Microsoft's facility in Waltham MA - 6th Floor MPR-B and C on Friday April 16th 2010. There will be a nominal fee of $45 to help cover costs (there is a $15 discount for BAWSUG Premium Members).
All proceeds go to WindowsBoston.org or other user groups to help them bring more educational opportunities to the local technology community. Registration information located the bottom of this page.
Hands on Virtual Labs
This will be hands on using Virtual PC to show you the tools and techniques that you can use to automatically deploy Windows 7. We will be providing URL’s where you can
download Windows 2008, virtual PC and where you can download labs that will help you install Windows 2008 and install your first domain controller. We would very much
like this day to be as productive as possible. Having the Windows 2008 domain ready at the start of the labs will make it much easier for you to maximize your time.
