New NZ IT Camps: Windows 8 for IT Professionals!

  • Article

Come to one of our upcoming Windows 8 IT Camps in NZ.  Learn about the new features and capabilities of Windows 8 that make migration, deployment, and management of tomorrow's environments easier for IT, while improving the end-user experience. Please bring along a PC to connect to our remotely-hosted labs.

At this event, you will get first-hand technical, hands-on experience with Windows 8 in the enterprise. Explore the new features of Windows 8 while you dive deep into key scenarios around management, deployment, security, desktop virtualisation, application development, side-loading, desktop recovery and mobility.

The agenda is below, but specifically there are 3 Hands On Labs for attendees during the day:
•    Sideloading Windows 8 Applications
•    Managing Windows 8 Applications with AppLocker
•    Creating Refresh Images

Get ready for this IT Camp by visiting the Windows 8 TechCenter to access in-depth technical resources and download the free Windows 8 Enterprise evaluation.

UPDATE: Due to the popularity in Christchurch we are putting on another IT Camp on March 18
