Grabbed some footage using the phone while traveling through Utah and Death Valley on days 6 & 7 of the #advcannonball

All wrapped up, flew home, many hours of footage to go through.
5000+ miles, 8 days, 14 states. #WhatARide

@nick_cloudops I don’t know how well that would perform in the dirt! 😂

Anyone who says you CAN’T defend Active Directory has either:

A) not ever administered an Active Directory environment before

Or

B) has not tried hard enough

@dillonwpatrick1 @orinthomas 80? I agree. 🤣

I'll file a PR against docs and get that updated.

[Rick Claus 🦋 @RegularITguy.com @RegularITguy]

AD has been part of my career since Windows 2000.

@orinthomas updated 24 Microsoft Learn modules – beginner to advanced. AMAZING. Have you checked out his blog talkin' about them? Link in reply...

@magrom Things are different this year - I'm focusing mostly on content quality in areas I can (hopefully) influence. Heck - I might even be on stage if I work my cards right.

[Rick Claus 🦋 @RegularITguy.com @RegularITguy]

@dillonwpatrick1 @orinthomas And of course I can't edit 80 for AD with my level here on X.
🤦‍♂️

[Rick Claus 🦋 @RegularITguy.com @RegularITguy]

@dillonwpatrick1 @orinthomas never too late to start. Especially if you’ve never created an 80 from scratch and only inherited something to manage.

Heck, you could almost even prep for sovereignty too!
