And...on the AD/Exchange side of the fence, you should DEFINITELY hear Brett Shirley talk - he is one of the lead developers for ESE (the database platform on which Exchange and AD are based - he's scary smart). I'm going to lock him into a room in LA and MAKE him give me some code this year he promised me last year. :)
For Exchange, you gotta see Ross Smith, IV (one of the absolute best Exchange people I've ever met) and Dmitri Gavrilov (who used to be on the AD team and is now on the Exchange team and can explain DSAccess/ADProxy so that it actually makes sense). (Not to mention me, Ilse, Scott, Nicolas, David, Juergen, etc. etc. - but compared to the headliners, we are just filler.) Regards, Michael B.

Lots of very smart people willing to sit down with a beer and answer questions for you. No 100/200 level presentations. 350/400. Great stuff. I've known Bob for probably 10 years now on this mailing list. First met him physically at TEC (it was DEC - Directory Experts Conference then). Regards, Michael B.

It was really ironic that my manager and I were chatting about him Wed night as his firm was doing some work with our infosec team because she knew he and I used to keep in contact, then this article hit the newsfeeds the next day. Maybe more eerily coincidental :) He and I chatted a little yesterday and I hope to meet up with him when I'm down there at the end of the month for TEC. /waves at MBS- See you the 25th From: Steve Ens [mailto:stevey...@gmail.com<mailto:stevey...@gmail.com>] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 8:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Security - Marc Maiffret http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20002317-245.html Doesn't Marc post here from time to time?
