Der er ingen tvivl om at der findes utrolig meget lækker teknologi der kan hjælpe med gøre hverdagen lettere for mange ansatte i IT branchen. Men mange af disse systemer er dybt integreret i mange forskellige systemer, og skal forankres i virksomhedernes interne processer, hvis man skal opnå de ønskede besparelser og forbedringer.
For at hjælpe med dette, har Microsoft lagt mange kræfter i det udvikle og beskrive “Solution Accelerators” til flere af deres produkter. Et værktøj der indeholder scripts, templates, dokumentation, quick start quides, Best Practice osv., så man hurtigere kan komme i gang uden at skulle opfinde den dybe tallerken selv…
Dagens spørgsmål:
En af disse Solution Accelerators indeholder et script eller en template der indeholder flg. kode:
"answer_to_life_the_universe_and_everything = 42".
Hvilken Solution Accelerator er der tale om, hvad hedder den fil, der indeholder koden?
Proceduren er en smule ændret i forhold til sidste uge. Send en mail med det rigtige svar til min mailbox ronni.pedersen@eg.dk. Når dagen er gået trækker vil lod blandt de rigtige svar, om hvem der skal være den lykkelige vinder af en super nørdet gave fra Bjarne Dollerups (gave)sæk.
Update:
Og det rigtige svar er…
“Microsoft Deployment Toolkit” (MDT). Og filen hedder ”ZTIConnect.wsf”.
Tak for alle svarene (der var rigtig mange idag, så jeg tror at det var en god ide at lave en lodtrækning). Den heldige vinder af dagens låge er Michael Stockholm Sørensen, Bestseller.

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager er lige på trapperne, og indeholder en lang række forbedringer og nye spændende muligheder. En af disse, er muligheden for at levere applikationer i forskellige formater til samme bruger, alt efter om man er logget på sin primære computer eller om man er logget ind på en kollegas computer (en ikke primær computer).
Dagens spørgsmål:
Hvad hedder den funktion eller teknologi i System Center 2012 Configration Manager der gør dette muligt?
Proceduren er den samme som sidste år, første mail med det rigtige svar i min mailbox ronni.pedersen@eg.dk vil være den lykkelige vinder af en super nørdet gave fra Bjarne Dollerups (gave)sæk.
Update:
Og det rigtige svar er……
“User Device Affinity” der sikre at vi kan installere software til vores kære brugere, uden at skulle bekymre sig om hvad der sker hvis de logger ind på flere computere.
Tak for alle svarene, den heldige vinder med første korrekte svar er Jesper Østerdal, Systemadministrator, Hoffmann A/S.
