W00t!
I applied for a Technical Learning Guide position at TechEd US again and made it to the "alternate" list.
Too bad I thought, consolation prize, but I'm sure that those who were chosen would have a fantastic time.
Well, the alternate list is not just a consolation prize.
I found out today that I made it on to the main team.
Now - where did I stash my passport...

From the "Ask the Directory Services Team" blog.

Now you can manage Win2K, Win2K3 and Win2K8 from Vista desktops.
Versions available for both x86 and x64 based systems.

After installing, open Control Panel and start Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows Features on or off then scroll down to the Remote Server Administration Tools.
Then you can turn them all on, some on, or none (though if so why install in the first place).
