Just a quick reminder that my Windows Server 2012 R2 technical deep dive session at this year’s TechMentor conference is fast approaching! This will be an intermediate to advanced level session that covers the planning, design, installation, and configuration of DirectAccess using Windows Server 2012 R2. This is not your typical 75 minute TechEd-like presentation, however. This is a full three-hour session where I’ll demonstrate multiple DirectAccess deployment scenarios and share tips, tricks, and best practices I’ve learned from deploying DirectAccess for the last four years. The event will be held at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA August 11-15, 2014. My session is on Friday, August 15. Don’t miss out. Sing up today!

TechDays San Francisco 2014
I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at TechDays in San Francisco on June 5 & 6, 2014! I’ll be delivering a session on cloud and remote access networking in Windows Server 2012 R2. Not only will this session include DirectAccess, but I will also be covering client-based VPN, site-to-site VPN, and the new Web Application Proxy role. If time permits, I might even sneak in some details about Workplace Join and Work Folders. Registration is open now, so sign up soon. Hope to see you there!
