Exchange 2010 doesn't work well if you have native windows 2008 GC

Exchaneg 2010 is RC for now, yesterday we were playing with it and oops we have lots of errors within our labs.

asking lots of folks and lot of guys we found that E14 doesn't work well (for the RC build) with native 2008 GC, you need to have a windwos 2003 SP2 GC around E14 to work fine.

this will be fixed in the RTM version.

nice note for those who are playing with E14

The first OCS 2007 ignite in Egypt is running

Well it is not the first, it has been done before, but this is the first time that I see this event outside the walls of Microsoft, in Egypt and in the Middle east region in an Arabic country.

Next Sunday I will start the first OCS 2007 ignite session at IPility training center; I am so excited about the experience and the special group of IT pros who chose IPility for this special event.

I always wanted to deliver the Ignite workshops (Exchange and OCS) but I didn't have the chance now it is the time to kick it off and start delivering those very special training events.

What is special about the ignite, well the ignites are by themselves are unique in their technical level, depth and the amount of time this event is delivered, it is unique and different than any type of Microsoft official curriculum by concentrating on the Technical depth as well as the labs and implementation within the training course as well

@ the ignites we deliver level 300 to 400 technical depth in a very condensed time, I usually call this type of training "the special forces training" you might feel that delivering such a deep level in 5 days is very short, But the material is structured to server this purpose and allow the trainee to gain the maximum benefit from it.

Looking forward for next Sunday, I will let you know about how the group felt the heat after the training.

IPility Training Center has been launched

back again to blogging, it has been so long time since my last blog entry, I have went through several ups and downs that led me to leave my work as Infra. manager for PHD and moving as a senior conusltant in Ingazat information systems.

within this step I had the opportunity to open my own training center, I had the chance to build it as I need and fully conduct the sessions that I want to deliver thus I had the chance to deliver the message and expand my knowledge and experience and share it with other consultants and IT pros in Egypt and in the region.

When I decided to open that training center, I thought about fellow IT pros in the region who are seeking an advanced training which is usually located in europe or the USA or suffering from the bad quality of the current training sessions conducted by others.

Quality, Expereince and level of depth was the 3 main factors and pilars of the my own training center and I believe that you will notice through the type of courses we deliver.

IPility training center can be accessed throught this URL www.ipility.com, additional sessions will be posted later as announed hoping that I will be able to grap your attention
