I'd love to go to a TEC session but short of a miracle I don't see anyone paying for me to go. I'd take a slightly different approach to the topic. You just have to have a look at the sales of Home Server in the SBS space so people can back up and recover the invested identity they have in their desktops, to see how identity and the desktop intertwined. And from my perspective the majority of our log on scripts call ADSysinfo to do anything from setting the Office user details to creating Outlook signatures. I think you've got a big scope for talking about identity and how it is expressed or invested. But maybe that is just because my qualification is also in Social Anthropology. I've spent twenty years trying to forget it but it keeps creeping back in. From: activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2010 12:27 p.m. To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Quick poll for TEC 2010 session re: VDI Greetings all, I was hoping you could provide me with your opinions regarding a debate we've been having internally about a proposed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) session for TEC in LA. The debate centers around whether VDI is a relevant or interesting topic for the TEC directory and identity audience. One side of the debate: The session isn't relevant because AD and identity engineers/architects aren't generally tasked with virtualization projects, and if they are, they are generally server and DC virtualization projects. Desktop projects don't usually land on the AD/Identity guys lap. The other side of the debate: AD and identity engineers/architects are becoming multi-roled in light of today's economics, and given virtualization's huge traction, VDI would be an interesting and relevant topic to the TEC directory and identity attendees. My questions to you: Would you be interested in attending a VDI session at TEC? See you in LA. -gil This message has been scanned for viruses and is believed to be clean. ##################################################################################### This message has been scanned for viruses and is believed to be clean. ##################################################################################### ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: The information contained in this email message and any attached files may be confidential and subject to privilege.
