    Note: free to attend event for IT Pro's to learn how to deploy Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

    IT Pro's the world over were asked what they wanted to learn about first when it came to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The overwhelming majority of respondents wanted to learn more about planning, application compatibility and OS deployment. This session will focus on the tools to deploy the newest generation of Windows using tools like the Windows Automated Installation Kit, Windows Deployment Services and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.

    There will be a small bit of PowerPoint to explain the concepts but much like the recent community launch events, the focus of this session will be on demonstrations. You will see and learn how to do everything from scratch. The launch events allowed us time to show the results - we want to show you how to get there by yourself.

    The speaker will be Aidan Finn, Systems and Infrastructure Manager at C Infinity, leader of the Irish Windows User Group, Microsoft Springboard STEP member and virtualisation MVP.

    The topics covered by this session are:

    - Planning a deployment
    - Using the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkits
    - Application Compatibility: Application Compatibility Toolkit, MED-V and XP Mode
    - Using Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) to create an unattended installation
    - Setting up and using Windows Deployment Services to capture and deploy an image
    - Installing and configuring Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to capture and deploy an image

    Where and When?
    The event will be on December 4th at Microsoft Building 1 (EDC) in Leopardstown. Zoom out on the map and browse a bit to the south east.

    Registration is at 09:00 GMT. The event will start at 09:30 and will end at 12:00.
