| TFS - A New Meaning to Software Configuration Management |
|
| Timing: 12:45 - 14:00 |
|
|
|
|
| Microsoft has defined a new meaning to software configuration management with the advent of Team Foundation Server (TFS). Data fragmentation in the software development world is a big challenge. We still struggle to get the right amount of information flowing to the right individuals at the right time to take the right decisions in order to make the right releases to the customers on schedule. We use too many disparate tools to manage the source files, assign tasks, track bugs, communicate & collaborate amongst the team members, build & release, etc. With its unique architecture, TFS provides a one stop shop for your project teams to improve its delivery lifecycle. Experience firsthand on how Team Foundation Server Version Control, Work Item Tracking and Automated Builds helps coordinate the handoff between the team members to make teams more productivity and improve the overall delivery lifecycles. |

| Bye-Bye VPN! Remote Access With Direct Access |
|
| Timing: 12:45 - 14:00 |
|
|
|
|
| For years, end users have complained about the difficulty of using VPNs. IT managers have complained about the difficulty of managing and supporting those same users. With Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, these problems are a thing of the past. DirectAccess provides an "always-on" connection to the corporate network for remote users, anytime, anywhere. Users can seamlessly access the Internet and corporate resources. IT managers can monitor, patch, troubleshoot, and support remote users any time they are Internet-connected. In this talk, we discuss the deployment of DirectAccess. We cover the client, server, and infrastructure components. We describe underlying technologies such as IPv6 and IPsec. We also describe the policy options that allow DirectAccess to be customized to meet the security and connectivity requirements of particular enterprise networks |

Managing Crucial Conversations

| Timing: 12:45 - 14:00 |

|

Our real world is a giant conversation table, and like it or not, we’re all participants!
As we grow senior in our roles, many of the conversations that we hold are “Crucial Conversations”—something that involves huge stakes and is highly volcanic (deep emotions), of course with differing objectives/opinions. It is a bundle of skills, knowledge and mindsets that focus on gaining action/decisions from people who give us “Value”.
Some such situations:
- Presenting to your management seeking additional budgets when they have actually halved it just a week ago!
- Persuading a customer to continue doing business with you, after he has withdrawn the association due to consistent poor results from your company
- Persuading a group of high-performers to accept a reduction in salary due to recession
- Appealing to a customer to grant additional time that you lost primarily due to issues on your side
How good are we at getting what we want—and keeping others reasonably happy in the process? |

| A highly cohesive development team is critical for the success of a software project. Improving productivity of the teams without increasing cost of quality is the need of the hour. With distributed software development becoming very common with different roles sitting in different locations across globe, aligning people, process and tools is very vital. In this session, we examine some of the key challenges this industry is facing in software development and how organizations with the help of tools like VSTS can overcome them and ultimately achieve success in the projects we execute with lower cost and better quality. In this session you will understand some of the work we have done at Infosys in this direction. |

In this talk, we start with a brief overview of LINQ, its capabalities, usages and dwell deep as we use Reflector and other tools to reveal exactly how the compiler translates LINQ query expressions. Gain a deeper understanding of LINQ's functional roots as we see how lambda expressions enable LINQ to Objects' elegant syntax. Then find out what's the same and what's radically different as we explore LINQ to SQL and the expression trees that make it tick. Finally the session gives an introduction to PLINQ, the adapted version to enable Parallelism ( for upcoming .NET 4.0) |

Windows Clients and Windows Server 2008 NAP (Network Access Protection) Better Together
|
| Windows Clients and Windows Server 2008 NAP (Network Access Protection) Better Together |
|
| Timing: 15:00 - 16:15 |
|
|
|
|
| This talk explores the use of Network Access Protection built into Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. Network Access Protection (NAP) is a platform and solution that controls access to network resources based on a client computer's identity and compliance with corporate governance policy. NAP allows network administrators to define granular levels of network access based on who a client is, the groups to which the client belongs, and the degree to which that client is compliant with corporate governance policy. If a client is not compliant, NAP provides a mechanism to automatically bring the client back into compliance and then dynamically increase its level of network access. We cover how to design, set up, and configure Network Access Protection (NAP), as well as five key ideas that you should know when planning a NAP installation. This presentation shows how server and client work better together. The use of demos and a quick set-up guide will help you in deploying NAP back at your company after this presentation. |

“Leadership is the ART of achieving much more than what the SCIENCE of Management says is possible” – Colin Powell
The business world requires more leaders than managers; more today than any time before!!
This session would attempt to answer some key questions in this regard:
- Is Leadership really an ART, as said by Colin Powell?
- Is there a SCIENCE behind developing oneself as a Leader of repute in any chosen domain? Are Leaders born or can be made?
- Do most of us play dual roles—being a Leader and a Manager at the same time?
- Does one qualify for the other?
- Are there “traits” for Leaders—like physical appearance, aura etc?
Come, and discover the Leader in YOU!! |

|
| Windows Server 2008 R2 is coming soon, and that means new tools for directory service IT professionals. For the occasional admin, Active Directory Users and Computers is still around, but now it's got a task-oriented sibling, the "Administrative Center for Active Directory (ACAD)." What's that, you're not a GUI fan? Then you'll smile when you learn that under the hood, ACAD just kicks off command-line PowerShell commands to get its work done, which brings us to the premier advance in Windows Server 2008 R2--more than 85 PowerShell cmdlets. That might well be enough to justify an "R2" upgrade, but there's more: an "AD recycle bin" that lets you undelete things that were, um, accidentally eliminated. A centralized, secured way to create and manage service accounts. Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services, or ADLDS (what was once called ADAM) as well as Active Directory both get new functional modes, and R2 supports "offline domain joins. For the details, don't miss this fast-paced, entertaining presentation! |
