Presentation by Rich Chambers & Bobby McMillan from Microsoft.
First session by Rich Chambers to concentrate on new features of Windows 7. User productivity increase using tools such as Shake, Aero Snap and Self Help Tools. Connectivity changes to DirectAccess and VPN Reconnect. New helpful ways to help IT Admins Support Windows 7. Security enhancements such as Bit Locker. Also the cost savings to end users when depolying Windows 7 (i.e. reduced deployment cost, reduced support costs, time).
Second Session by Bobby McMillan on Windows Server 20078 R2's "Active Directory Recycle Bin". Active Directory Recycle Bin helps minimize directory service downtime by enhancing your ability to preserve and restore accidentally deleted Active Directory objects without restoring Active Directory data from backups, restarting Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), or rebooting domain controllers.
When you enable Active Directory Recycle Bin, all link-valued and non-link-valued attributes of the deleted Active Directory objects are preserved and the objects are restored in their entirety to the same consistent logical state that they were in immediately before deletion. For example, restored user accounts automatically regain all group memberships and corresponding access rights that they had immediately before deletion, within and across domains.
Active Directory Recycle Bin is functional for both AD DS and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments.
