Currently I am sitting behind my desk still bouncing around after a great Dutch Vmug Usercon yesterday. This was my fourth time presenting at this awesome event and every time I get a little bit better at doing so. With 11 parallel tracks in the afternoon it becomes hard not to find interesting sessions. As always content went from deep technical to marketing or even personal improvement.
My (or more our) session
As said this was the fourth time I presented at the Dutch Vmug and the second time together with my great friend Hans Kraaijeveld. Just like two years ago we had a mix of various flings and tools that could help a Horizon admin in managing their environment. We decided on skipping a couple since we already covered those two years ago or last year in my own session. They did get an honorable mention:
- VMware OS Optimization Tool (OSOT)
- Logon Monitor
- PowerCLi for Horizon.
The tools we did cover are:
- VMware Horizon Helpdesk fling
- VMware Performance Tracker
- VMware log bundle scripts (we still visit too many customer who don’t know about these) & analyzing them with Agent Ransack
- Procmon
While 20 minutes is really short I think we really did manage to get the message across. We where even able to challenge to audience to present next year and answer some questions. You can find the slides to our presentation over here. This version is in Dutch but you can expect an English one since we will be giving the same presentation with some extras and hopefully live demos at the next https://vcnrw.de/ event on april 4th.
On stage today at the #NLvmug with my good buddy Wouter @Magneet_nl, talking about our favorite tools and flings for Horizon! @vmwarehorizon @FONDO_NL @AnyLinQ #vExpert #vCommunity pic.twitter.com/S1GffGc5l2

Highlights of the day
Besides our own session the highlights of the day where (re-)connecting with friends. Getting informed about new tech but also the vExpert lunch with Amy Lewis and the afternoon keynote by Jad El-Zein. The vibe during the day was awesome during the entire event!

Any negatives?
While The Fabrique is a great looking location it’s hard to find where you want to go. With a lot of smaller hallways, corners, stairs and stupid doors it sometimes became annoying. And was it just me but I would have liked to find some other softdrinks than this (delicious!) healthy stuff like a coke or something.
