Windows Server Summit | Hyper-V
Lesedauer 2 MinutenWe have been using VMware for years. Hyper-V or other solutions cannot compete with it. This article is not intended to be yet another “away from VMware” rant.

Windows Server Summit | AD certificate authority
Lesedauer 2 MinutenCertificate authorities —once established, it's best never to touch them again.

Windows Server Summit | Azure Migrate
Lesedauer < 1 MinuteOur systems are so complex that we have to continue operating them locally. The cloud doesn't work for us. Maybe.

Windows Server Summit | Storage
Lesedauer 2 MinutenYes, how quickly times change… Admittedly, this statement is already a few years old.

Lesedauer 2 MinutenDoes anyone else have the problem that there are still so many interesting webinars available at the end of the time? 🕐💨 This happens to me time and time again—work piles up, and when I do have some free time, I find it difficult to concentrate fully on the content of a webinar.
