The videos average about 10 minutes long and are presentation-driven with lots of demonstrations throughout. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed presenting.

Special thanks to Paul Winstanley @SCCMentor who reviewed the course.

Until next time.......

  1. Very nice.

    Any hint as to what the content of course 2 is? I consider myself pretty advanced since I've been managing an SCCM environment for about 5 years but there's always something new to learn :)
