Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

Speaking at Microsoft Ignite in Chicago

on


I am excited to announce I am going to Chicago and attend Ignite 2015 as a speaker. My proposal for a session on Backup and restore Skype for Business has been accepted. This is my third international event, and first one this year.

The session will be about what to consider when planning for a disaster recovery scenario, and how to do it.

Apparently, the TechedEU 2014 session was slightly more advanced than the advertised level 300, and this session has been marked as a lvl 400.

Be prepared for a lot of PowerShell commands during the presentation.

Title: Managing Backup and Restore in Skype for Business
Track: Skype for Business
Level: 400
Session: BRK4122
Link: Session details
Time: Tuesday, May 5: 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM

Abstract:As unified communication becomes an important part of the infrastructure, it is equally important to have a good understanding on how to quickly restore its availability in the event of an outage. Even a well-designed High Availability solution may encounter loss of data, misconfiguration, or server failure. This session addresses which components the administrator will need to pay attention to when designing his disaster recovery plan in Skype for Business.
