I just got back from Windows Connections and had an excellent time. The weather in Orlando was close to perfect. They had the highest turnout ever at a Connections conference, which is a good indication for the tech industry. I got to meet many interesting people, including several that I'm working with on various projects.  One person that I'm not working with (yet) is Sean Deuby, who I enjoyed being around even though he is a little bit scary :-)

My AD Hacks session was a hit.  The room was packed and I barely had enough time to get everything in.  My second session on AD Security Best Practices also seemed to go over well, but it is hard to know for sure until I see the speaker evals. I know one thing, I much prefer talking about hacks than best practices. I've posted both slide decks here.
