Advanced MIIS training is good but its not the 504 course (Advanced MIIS). Its new technologies and it is COOL. Some items to get excited over?
XMA's: Imagine you want to connect to a MySQL database with MIIS. Normally I'd say you're SOL (look it up yourself). NOW, with Extensible MA's (XMA) you can write your own MA connection to it and then leverage it in MIIS. Web Services not a database? No problem. Centre Vu id's? Have an API we'll plug it in...
PowerShell: Almost had the big O on this one. Imagine a Cygwin/Ruby/Shell for Windows Servers....Now imagine scripted .NET where EVERYTHING is an object. Now imagine Kevin Feingold or Eric Treeman turned loose on this bad boy. IT IS SWEEEEET! We're going to retire the CMD files and Launcher.exe and go with the Power Shell scripts.
Advice: We're always really scared of putting bad data out there...Oxford's advice? NO BAD DATA in the MV. No garbage in....no garbage out. Lots of work on validation of data in and validation of Brad Turner's advice.
Gotta run...self service password reset is on....
