Sometimes it takes only a few users to block an entire site or machine collection from deployment of Windows 7 desktops - applications may suffer irreparable compatibility issues or the installation media does not exist. By combing the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and Sysinternals Disk2VHD, we can now redeliver the blocking users' old desktops as fully-functional virtual machines within the new Windows 7 operating system environment - so they can keep any applications in the virtual machine preventing them from moving. Those applications are even available to users in the Windows 7 start menu. This lab will explain how to configure P2V Migration for Software Assurance using both MDT-based deployment and System Center Configuration Manager. We will use these tools to capture the old system as a VHD, install Virtual PC and configure it for use all as part of the process - all automatically and without using Windows XP Mode.

Claims provide an innovative approach for building applications that authenticate and authorize users. Imagine a world where you don't have to worry about authentication. Imagine instead that all requests to your application already include the information you need to make access control decisions and to personalize the application for the user. In this world, your applications can trust another system component to securely provide user information, such as the user's name or e-mail address, a manager's e-mail address, or even a purchasing authorization limit. The user's information always arrives in the same simple format, regardless of the authentication mechanism, whether it's Microsoft® Windows® integrated authentication, forms-based authentication in a Web browser, an X.509 client certificate, or something more exotic like a Facebook or a Windows Live ID. Even if someone in charge of your company's security policy changes how users authenticate, you still get the information, and it's always in the same format. This is the utopia of claims-based identity that SharePoint 2010 now supports. In this session we will demystify the jargon behind claims based authentication and walk thru a step by step process of setting it up in SharePoint 2010.
