Visio Integration with Operations Manager R2

Adam Bomb — Thu, 07 May 2009 17:09:00 GMT

Right before MMS, I met with Dale Koetke and he showed me a new integration feature that his team is working on - Live data connections between Visio diagrams and Operations Manager data. This integration allows you to use your Visio diagrams as dynamic views into your data, instead of static pictures of the state of the network at one point in time.
Cool stuff!

Microsoft Management Summit 2009 Keynote Demo

Joey Snow — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Last week before I made the trek down here to Vegas, I was walking through building 44 on my way back from a meeting and I saw this conference room decked out with a ton of laptops on the table. Normally that's not a strange sight as most meetings look like that, but there were no people attached to them and Jeff Wettlaufer and Wally Mead were in the room. Jeff, Wally and the rest of the team were building a VERY COOL keynote demo for the MMS 2009 conference demonstrating migration of 20 laptop computers from XP SP3 to Windows 7 over WIRELESS! Yes I said WIRELESS! Check out the video and stay tuned for a second part shot from backstage here in Las Vegas.

Edge at MMS!

Adam Bomb — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:29:00 GMT

hey - I just wanted to give you a heads up that Joey and I will be at MMS next week, covering the conference here on Edge. We'll have coverage starting Monday with recaps and demos of the announcements that are coming at the show.

I have to tell you, I got to see some of the stuff we'll be showing off at the conference, and I was blown away by it. Not moved to tears Scoble style, but bouncing on my feet excited about what we're doing. Keep checking back on Edge next week to see what's new, and leave us a comment here if there's something you'd like us to find out about for you while we're there.

And if you're attending the conference, and you spot a couple of overly-enthusiastic guys wearing Edge t-shirts and carrying cameras, come say hi!
