I got an interesting email from a major<\/em> software publisher the other day.\u00a0 They develop, sell and support solutions that run on the Windows platform.\u00a0 Their integration with Microsoft is pretty tight and it\u2019s important for their support staff to know about Windows Server Active Directory.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Irish Windows User Group is running a session on Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory<\/a> on September 25th at 09:30GMT.\u00a0 The presenter is Microsoft Ireland\u2019s Wilbour Craddock.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be running it as an in-person event but there will also be a live webcast.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The leader of this company\u2019s EMEA support team asked if it would be OK to set our LiveMeeting webcast on a projector and speakers.\u00a0 He had a team of 30+ staff that he wanted to attend the session so they could start learning about the new functionality.\u00a0 He also said he was thinking of getting other support teams in other regions to do the same thing.\u00a0 What an absolutely brilliant idea!\u00a0 He asked if this was OK?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 If one person on his site managed the keyboard to ask questions our moderator would read them out to the presenter so they could be answered.\u00a0 Now this company\u2019s support staff could virtually attend the session without a massive road trip and abandoning the office.<\/p>\n

So if you want to do something similar:<\/p>\n
