Training - training - training
As MCT I love to train and talk about technologies. But my job is working as senior consultant in the Microsoft area - mainly migrations, scenarios for solutions and speaking about technologies. However during those project I'm also training customers, and I'm also training our own technicians and consultants. But right now it's kind of different - there are loads of requests for trainings. Last week I did a training on Microsoft Technologies and Security. I had to cover a load of topics in a few days - we did Windows XP, basics of management, Windows Server 2003, introduction in DNS and Active Directory, and security topics like XP SP2 enhancements and Windows Server 2003 SP1 enhancements, and a overview of Windows Update Services (WUS) and Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA).
Next week I'll have to give a class about Windows XP (which I tend to spice up with security topics as well - SP2 is a great excuse to spread the word about security). The week after and two weeks later I will be at a customer site training Windows Server 2003.
 
What's great - my department recently moved into another floor on our companies building in Munich. Within a couple feet of my desk we have a big testing center, and a full features classroom equipped with everything needed. The classroom is brand new, so I am able to provide feedback about usability. I'm really exited about this classroom - we are MS Partner and not training center, and in the last years I always had trouble organizing hardware for trainings. Now I have a classroom not much further from my desk than the next coffee machine, which contains everything needed, and has a link into the testing center for further demos (there are SANs, Backup-Robots, Clusters, …).
