Michael Campbell has posted an article with slides describing the how-to’s of desktop error management with System Center. For years now, we’ve had a really good idea what our servers are doing but almost no idea about the performance of desktops. The only information we’re really getting is anecdotal and from the help desk. With the increases of WAN bandwidth, coupled with greater client side instrumentation, we’re now able to manage and measure the performance of the desktop. I think most corporate SOE techs are going to be really surprised when they see just how badly their SOE is performing in production. Maybe the end-users are right; maybe it does all keep crashing and maybe it is really slow… Time to find out <grin>.

The details in this article should be common sense. The reason for the post is that I’ve just been fixing a windows sync problem on Windows Vista Business (yup an IT support day) and vista seemed (on a fantastically new Vaio) to be really, really slow. This guide gives some things you can do, but doesn’t seem to mention upgrading to Windows XP. Never mind…

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is out and Rod Trent thinks it’s a good thing. Check out his post here… However there is still way too many complaints about Windows Vista around for it to really hit mainstream business adoption to heavily in most of my customers right now. Maybe they’ll all wait for the next version of Windows. No matter what, I predict a huge growth in apple coupled with lots and lots of Windows XP
