Speaker: Glenn Cunningham
Notes: Quoted form schedule: Do you feel like you have fallen into a pit of quicksand, you’re struggling, and there is no help in sight? Struggle no more, help has arrived. In this collaborative session, facilitated by an experienced migration engineer we’ll discuss best practices, image development methods, upgrading with limited resources, and how to design for inevitable future changes.

Extremely technical session aimed at folks such as our Network Engineers. Stressed on the waste of time in trying to make Windows 7 function with Zenworks 10. Must give up and move on.
