Microsoft TechEd 2008, Day 1, 17:30

Attended session UNC205 - Exchange Online Administration and Management, which was basically an overview of the user management for Exchange online.

Interesting stuff, though how scalable the website is to a large company is not clear. One thing that did come across yet again is that everything is Active Directory centric, and to use any of MS's cloud offerings requires allowing them to store an AD replica on their systems.

On the plus side, they do have a single sign-on tool that works with (an auto-configures) Outlook, Live Messenger and Sharepoint.

Oh, and I had a chocloate donut during the break. Is that too much detail? Karoona said that communication is really important....

was it a filled chocolate donut, or a ring one with the chocolate icing on top? :-)

Ring type, but 100% chocolate coverage on all surfaces, not just on top.
