Thank you for attending my session on Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack!
I would like to thank those who came and listened to my session (and even those who was left with no choice but to sit on my session because other tracks were full 
) on Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (commonly known as MDOP) with Chay in TechFest 2008.
Just to summarize, MDOP is a toolkit for IT managers, administrators and staff who does deployment and management of client desktops and systems. It is an add-on pack for customers who have active Software Assurance (SA) in their Windows Desktop licenses and is comprised of the following tools:
-
Advanced Group Policy Management (previously GPOVault) - for managing group policies across complex domain infrastructure
-
Application Virtualization (previously Softgrid) - for virtualizing and silo-ing applications for application compatibility and ease of management
-
Asset Inventory Service (previously AssetMetrix) - for a comprehensive view of software installed in the network
-
Desktop Error Monitoring - for monitoring application crashes and problems
-
Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (previously ERD Commander) - a set of tools booted from CD for servicing a Windows installation
Information and whitepapers on MDOP can be found here.
If you guys have questions about MDOP, please feel free to leave a comment and I'd be happy to try to answer them.
See you in my upcoming sessions on this!
