Thank you Seattle!

Last week we completed the NorthWest Workshop and I have to say, you guys were great!  Thank you to all of you who attended the workshop for making it completely enjoyable as well as very productive.  I hope you all took home some knowledge that's helped you to create solid, usable solutions to use for your existing (or new!) offerings.  I know y'all taught me a thing or two.  ;)  So Cheers, Seattle!  I look forward to our next Workshop!

LabVNC Rocks!

I've a confession:  I've always hated the LabVNC button.  Why?  Well, in a small part because it breaks the true MSP model but mostly because it just sucked.  Ok, maybe 'sucked' is too strong an adjective, perhaps it was somewhere between 'Eh' and 'sucked' but nonetheless, the operative word here is was.

That's because with 2011, the improved LabVNC is a new animal.  It is fast, Fast, FAST!!  If you're like me, spoiled by the response rate given my Citrix, LogMeIn, etc.. you're used to a certain speed and anything less is unimpressive.  Well now LabVNC provides the kind of response your (and my) impatient butt is used to.  Add to that the ability to choose which session to control - from the console to a specific user's session (yes, this works on terminal servers) and you've a fantastic solution to an age old problem built right into your LabTech console.

When in Seattle, I asked who amongst the upgraders noticed a marked improvement in LabVNC and was met with an near raucous approval.  So if you haven't tried it yet, go ahead and run some tests and see for yourself.  And if you have, feel free to share your experience in the comments section.  Happy LabTech'ing!

Technology is pretty good

I'm on the way to Seattle for the next LabTech workshop and I couldn't resist posting from 40,000 ft.  :)  See all you NorthWest LabTech'ers tomorrow!
