About my presentations

I will be delivering two presentations:

TH13 – Security Implications of Virtualizing Active Directory Domain Controllers

Thursday August 9 2:15PM – 3:30 PM, St. Helens

Active Directory Domain Controllers hold the keys to your kingdom. So how do you virtualize these castles of identity, without compromising on the requirements of your organization?

This session shares the best practices and process recommendations for hardening, backing up, restoring and managing virtualized Domain Controllers on both Hyper-V, Azure Stack and in Azure Infrastructure-as-a-Service VMs, from the field.

TH19 – Azure AD Connect Inside and Out

Thursday August 9 3:45PM – 5 PM, Cascade 

New hybrid cloud scenarios introduce new identity challenges. But how do you overcome these? How do you properly design and implement Hybrid Identity in real world scenarios?

In this demo-packed session, I’ll turn Microsoft’s free Hybrid Identity 'bridge' product, Azure AD Connect, inside out, showing all the good stuff, but also the gory details!
This session is one no Active Directory admin should miss!
