 The Culminis Compass - September  2004

 

Expert Technical Presentations Available via Culminis Connections
September 1, 2004
Team Culminis

Over 20 technical presentations (~300MB) have been added to the Training Library located on the Culminis Connections web portal, and they are available for FREE download by leaders of Member Organizations.  Many of the presentations are narrated by Microsoft experts, and Member Organizations can use these at group meetings or as part of special training sessions. 

The presentations include a range of topics, such as the basics of Active Directory (AD) and scripting for system administrators, and a filter can be applied to quickly sort by topic and/or experience level.  Culminis is working with several Microsoft Product Teams, such as the Microsoft TechNet Team, to find or develop technical presentations that can be used at group meetings. 

One useful tip is that you can set an alert on Culminis Connections to notify you when presentations have been added to the Training Library.  If you have a presentation that you think would be useful to other Member Organizations, or if there is a specific topic you want added to the Training Library, please email us at suggestions@culminis.com.

 

Where do I Find these Presentations?

To find the presentations, go to Culminis Connections, and log in.

Click on the 'Document Library' link found in the Quick Launch Bar.
 

Then locate the 'Training and Education' folder, and click on it. The technical presentations are found in there, and just download the ones you need. Downloads are unlimited.

Don't forget to browse the other document libraries, as they are filled with a wealth of information and resources all designed to help you as a leader of your User Group.
