30th NT CONFERENCE in Portorož, Slovenia
From 22nd until 24th of September there was a business and technology conference in Slovenia. It had a lot of great presenters sharing their experience, technical knowledge and views in many different topics. I imagine anybody that wanted to was able to find something interesting to go and learn about. Topics covered were raging from Linux to Windows, from security to development, from on-prem to the cloud, from AI and far beyond.
It was my pleasure to be chosen as one of the speakers on the 30th anniversary of the NT conference. This year I submitted three presentations and all there were confirmed for delivery:
- Je Azure Arc res lahko brezplačen? (When/how can Azure Arc be free?)
- Napredna uporaba Azure Virtual Desktop okolij (Advanced usage of Azure Virtual Desktop)
- Azure Virtual Desktop vs Windows 365
If you want to learn more about the topics covered at the conference, you can head to the https://www.ntk.si/.
If you are interested in what I was talking about, you can find my slides below.
Hope to see you next year at the 31st NT conference.
NTK 2019 and other Microsoft-related news
From 21. until 23. of May 2019, Portorož (Slovenia) became my home for few days. The reason for this was NTK (NT konferenca) – Microsoft’s IT conference that brought together people from all over the place.
During the three days conference was going on, I had a privilege to present three sessions of my own. As always, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who came to my sessions, even though the session was in the middle of the lunch time or the last one for the day. Thank you all for showing up and asking questions.
My sessions at NTK 2019 were:
- Povečanje varnosti Windows klientov – ways to improve Windows security
- Vzdrževanje SCCM in WSUS okolja – SCCM and WSUS maintenance
- Brezplačna orodja za upravljanje Windows okolij – free tools to speedup Windows maintenance
Presentations and demo files can be downloaded from NTK web site or from my OneDrive:
- Povečanje varnosti Windows klientov.pptx, Day1-Demos.zip
- Vzdrževanje SCCM in WSUS okolja.pptx, Day2-Demos.txt
- Brezplačna orodja za upravljanje Windows okolij.pptx
For all the demos on day one and day two I used Start-Demo.ps1 PowerShell script. Thank you Jeffrey Snover and Joel “Jaykul” Bennett for the original script.
During one of my presentations there was one Windows Sandbox related question – data sharing between Host and Sandbox. At the time I wasn’t aware of Windows Sandbox – Config Files which I believe is exactly where the question was going. There is MappedFolders parameter, that gives us an option to map local drive into Sandbox on user’s Desktop. Mapped folder can be Read-Only or Read&Write. Example of Windows Sandbox Config file with few additional options: WindowsSandbox.wsb
While we were busy with NTK, Microsoft rolled out few new products, services and announcements:
- Windows 10 1903 (available on VL Service Center since 21st of May, on MSDN since 4th of April)
- Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0 updated with final version of Windows 10 Version 1903 and Windows Server Version 1903 Security Baseline (more info)
- AaronLocker updated (info)
- Features in Configuration Manager technical preview version 1905 (Application groups, BitLocker management, Task sequence debugger,…)
- Microsoft Edge preview builds – Chromium-based (Beta, Dev and Canary)
- Application Guard for Chrome und Firefox
NTK 2011 – New in Microsoft Virtualization
Novosti v Microsoftovi Virtualizaciji
Virtualizacija postaja del večine poslovnih okolij. Nekje samo na klientih, pri večini pa tudi že na strežnikih.
Tekom predavanja si bomo pogledali, kaj je Microsoft v zadnjem letu postavil na trg, kaj je spremenil in kaj posodobil. Pogledali si bomo tako Windows Virtual PC, kot tudi HyperV strežnik. Zraven pa še kak trik za upravljanje enega in drugega.
