I will be speaking at SQLSaturday #90 in Oklahoma City on August 27th, 2011.  I will be delivering my presentation on Central Management Server and Policy Based Management.

I’m looking forward to this event since I lived in the western Oklahoma City suburb of Yukon for about 5 years.  I’m hoping to visit some of the old stomping grounds if time permits.  I haven’t seen all that beautiful red clay they call dirt in a really long time!

I’m also looking forward to visiting with all my SQL friends from OKC and Tulsa.  This event should be a good one and a little different.  They only have 3 tracks and 15 sessions, so you can bet they will all be top notch.  The other really cool thing they are doing is to have one of the fathers of SQLSaturday, Steve Jones (Blog|Twitter), deliver a key note.

It is going to be a great event and there are only about 50 spots left so make sure to Get Registered, and stop by my session.  Here is the abstract:

Manage your shop with CMS and Policy Based Management

In this presentation we talk about Central Management Server and how it can help you manage a disperse environment. We will also cover what Policy Based Management is and how you can leverage its power to better manage your environment. With PBM we’ll see what it can and cannot do to help you enforce standards in your enterprise. We will cover and demonstrate PBM for the beginner from creating and evaluating policies to receiving alerts on policy violations.
