ReplyDeleteI came across an excellent training source on Microsoft's Desired Configuration Monitoring product from a Seattle based company Alpha Tech Solutions (http://www.alpha-tech-solutions.com/).
I tried it out and I personnaly feel this would be very helpful to anybody planning or using the product. The training is reasonably priced for the amount of information it contains.
Thanks,
Jon
