3rd Meetup – October 31, 2024, @ Langdon Firehouse
Our community continues to grow—and so does the depth of our content! Join us for the third meetup of the Calgary Windows Server and Azure Hybrid User Group, happening on Halloween night – October 31, 2024. We’ll be back at our familiar spot, the Langdon Firehouse, and we promise the only thing spooky will be misconfigured servers.
This meetup focuses on powerful hybrid management tools, helping you better control, monitor, and troubleshoot your Windows Server environment with Azure Arc and Windows Admin Center.
🧰 What’s on Tap?
- Managing and Extending Windows Server with Azure Arc
- Troubleshooting Connected Machine Agent + Machine Renaming Scenarios
🎤 Speaker Line-up
We’re excited to feature two well-known voices in the community once again:
- Cristal Kawula – “What’s New in Windows Admin Center + Azure Arc Integration”
Cristal will showcase the latest features in Windows Admin Center and how to integrate your Windows Servers seamlessly with Azure Arc. This is an excellent session for IT pros looking to modernize their server management approach while maintaining control in hybrid and on-prem environments. - Dave Kawula – “Troubleshooting Azure Arc Connected Machine Agent and Machine Renaming in Hybrid Scenarios”
Dave will discuss real-world troubleshooting techniques for Azure Arc onboarding failures, Connected Machine Agent quirks, and what happens when server names change post-onboarding. This deep-dive session will help you avoid common gotchas.
Each talk is 30 minutes, jam-packed with actionable guidance and demo-driven insights.
🍻 Food, Drinks, and a Bit of Halloween Flair
Expect appetizers, two free drinks again, and maybe a Halloween-themed surprise. Feel free to come in costume—IT nerd or superhero, your choice!
