I haven't blogged in a while. A long while. I've been through major changes in my live. Readjusting. Reloading. Sometimes you need to reevaluate things, in technology and in live. Being stable doesn't equal avoiding changes. I've recently heard a statement "nobody will grant you...
Today is day one of the Directory Experts Conference in Chicago. So far the conference has been very good - but that was as expected. I had one session today right before lunch, "A Directory Services Geek's View on Active Directory Recovery in Windows Server 2008". Went quite well, however...
For the past three days I was at the Microsoft Launch Event Germany , the first and as we were told biggest (by the number of attendees) Launch for Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008.

OK - it's been a while since I last posted. Many things were going on. The last post was in the Directory Experts Conference-Timeframe. Wow - a lot was going on. I'll write later some thoughts about DEC, even if others have covered it well (like Gil , Joe , Jorge , Tomek ) it's worth some...
So right after the new year started, I also got a great message: I was again reawarded as MVP for Windows Server - Directory Services. This is the fourth time in a row I got the award, and I'm really proud of it. THANK YOU Microsoft! Currently work got me again, and this year will also be pretty busy...
