As ever, high quality content delivered at a level, which both kept my interest, and stretched my knowledge.
The venue was great. I would not hesitate to recommend XTSeminars to others
“This is not just brain food… This is XTSeminars brain food”
“Lots of technical detail without the Microsoft marketing hype”
PS: I thought I was a Hyper-V expert… but I learned a whole lot more from your seminar. |

The clever use of demo’s throughout brings alive the presentation and materials supplied.
Highly technical topics are delivered with knowledge and enthusiasm, taking the seminar style of learning to a new level. |

Great seminar – passionately presented and relevant. For any IT professionals working in the Windows area, this seminar is an excellent investment of your time. |

A seminar, conference or training has to hold the interest of the attendee to be of any value, may I say despite my obvious lack of ‘shut-eye’ the previous two nights, I was held captive.
John and Sally were extremely friendly and approachable which made the two days very worthwhile.
The material covered was timely, presented in an extremely clear manner and in a succinct fashion. It certainly enhanced my knowledge-base and will act as an invaluable starting point at my workplace environment.
I would wholeheartedly recommend XTSeminars to colleagues in the industry who are looking for good quality briefings.
To summarise, Xtremely Technical without being Xtremely Geeky. |

An excellent two day seminar on Server 2008 with just the right level of content for anyone looking for a real insight into installing and maintaining the product.
The demo’s and presentation materials were well structured.
The lab diagrams alone will give you an excellent idea of how to structure your test environments to work out the kinks in your planned implementation. |

I have attended several of John and Sally’s events over the last few years and on each occasion, have been impressed with the quality and depth of information presented. This seminar was no different and for those with limited time to get up to speed with Windows Server 2008 it is time very well spent.
XTSeminars does exactly what it says on the tin! Xtremely technical, Xtremely enjoyable and Xtremely good value for money! |

Once again, you have delivered a highly informative and focussed course dealing with real life situations and application of technology. If I had to sum it up in one phrase, it would be:
“I can’t believe it’s not Microsoft” |

| David Stewart, Sellafield Sites Ltd |

Excellent presentations balanced with live demonstrations. The wide range of virtual machines and environments placed all topics with a content appropriate to the workplace.
Workbook and demo CD also serve to reinforce the learning when required.
Content invaluable to let me understand what the “clever people” on site are telling me happens with our IT. This will help to move forward as we need more IT infrastructure in our work.
I will recommend this for other engineers on my return to work.
Venue excellent. |

This seminar has been extremely interesting and introduced many new concepts and ideas that I will be incorporating into my current installation.
John and Sally work well together to deliver quality instruction and demonstrations. The follow up notes are also concise and will help to recall the seminar facts. I like the ‘doodle’ that throws in those essentials bits that you will need when trying out all the stuff yourself. The demos were useful to me as that’s the easiest way for me to understand the topics, much appreciated. |

This was an excellent seminar. It applies a toolbox approach to essential subjects. It was finely poised technical guidance.
Given the choice, 9 out of 10 tech heads prefer it. |

| Tanner Payne, Eze Castle Integration |
| As an attendee to numerous tech workshops and seminars, I know what it’s like to nearly be put to sleep by a monotonous “expert” simply reading through PowerPoint slides. John and Sally’s seminar was truly a breath of fresh air. I was kept interested in the topics by their cheery, laid back approach and their teaching style has them switching easily between theory and real-time demonstration. The ease with which they answered questions really speaks to the knowledge these two possess. I would highly recommend XTSeminars to anyone looking to increase their understanding in a fun, yet highly productive environment. |

| There are no in depth AD technical courses available in the marketplace. Microsoft courses are OK, but don’t have the level of detail required for a technical discussion to a decent level. This course resolves this issue by being technical enough in detail to keep even the most technical people interested. This course is deep dive into some of the more complex elements of Active Directory. Overall this course gives you technical information that you can’t get anywhere else. |

| The best and most useful seminar I have ever attended. Concise technical information presented in friendly, structured and well paced manner. I will certainly recommend XTSeminars to my colleagues. |

Material is top notch. Lecturers really know their stuff. |

Not really knowing what to expect from XTSeminars, I have been really impressed with the professional approach. The presentation delivery has been very good and the content detailed and informative. The demos have been relevant to the content and above all worked every time, not usually the case with some other seminars/presentations I have attended! The workbook is good and I like the added “doodles” sections, a novel idea. Overall I have been very impressed and would definitely attend further seminars by XTSeminars and recommend to colleague and peers. |

Really enjoyed the 2 day seminar, learnt more in the 2 days than I did doing my MCSE 2003. Well worth the money, will go to more |

As we are preparing to upgrade to a Windows 2008 domain, the section on this has been very useful and enjoyable. |

Having attended the Microsoft Active Directory Internals seminar in a relaxed atmosphere, it made the information being delivered easy to take on board. The pace and delivery of the content was such that all the information was considered “useful” to know. The screen shots were clear, the demonstrations clear and explained in full. Questions were taken and answered at the time and during the seminar so that the answer was relevant. Thank you for a very useful seminar on AD. |

A well paced course with fantastically detailed, concise and useful information. Completing both days will ensure that when confronted with an AD problem you will be able to get to the heart of the issue, saving time, money and stress. |

This is an invaluable resource for system architects and those who manage and deploy large Windows infrastructures. John and Sally made the presentation lively so much that the after lunch sessions kept me up! You are presented with a huge amount of technical information. John digs deep into the Active Directory and presents the info with ease that can only come from someone who really knows what he is talking about. |

Carlsberg don’t do training courses but if they did, this would be it! A great pace with expertly delivered content makes this the best course I have ever attended. Can’t wait for the next one. |

An extremely useful seminar. Real world experience and coupled with superb technical content resulted in an outstanding two days. John’s presentations were easy to follow but bursting with information. A truly excellent technical seminar. Highly recommended. |

While I have always enjoyed seeing Sally and John present at various ITForums before, XTSeminars take it to the next level with two full days of solid, highly technical training. Definitely worth attending. |

A very smooth presentation, really like the use you make of virtual machine technology. It’s an absolute gem for this work, it inspires me to move my whole test lab into the same environment. |

As with all XTSeminars, the emphasis is on ‘technical’ but delivered at the correct pace to ensure that ‘brain overload’ does not occur. Always presented professionally with a hint of humour, making it very enjoyable and a definite ‘MUST ATTEND’. |
| |
| David Lander, ComputaCentre |
|
The two day seminar was excellent. Both John and Sally were very clear and consise when going through the presentations and demos. There was never any doubt that John has a very in-depth knowledge of the subject which gives confidence to any attendee when returning to his/her workplace. |
| |
| Derek Roberts, Jacobs Engineering |
|
The presentation of the seminar is excellent. The many live demos are very informative and gives a hands-on feeling rather than reading slide after slide. John was excellent at presenting the seminar and answered all questions we threw at him. Overall, very enjoyable and I’ve got some tips to take back to my company to keep AD going. |
| |
| Alan Shevill, RNLI |
|
An excellent seminar. The presentation was very good, well paced and informative. The content was very pertinent to the work I will be doing. The doodles sections were a very good idea as when you are writing down notes, it is easy to miss other important parts. I will be recommending this seminar to other people. |
| |
| Lee Finch, A major international bank |
|
The seminar was well presented with demos that demonstrated the material discussed. I thought the delivery was non-biased towards Microsoft and covered ‘real world’ scenarios that you may face and in fact have faced and troubleshot as part of my job. Overall, an excellent seminar well worth the money and should be attended by everyone who has a solid experience as it builds on that. |

A first class seminar, extremely informative. The material covered in the two days is invaluable to anybody administering Active Directory. The DVD and binder are a useful resource which I’m sure I will refer back to many times. The venue was comfortable and ideally located. All in all, highly recommended. |
| |
| Daryl Theobalds, Thames Valley Police |

The presentation was well planned and professional. I gained a much deeper understanding of AD DR scenarios including some I had never considered. The live demos provided very useful practical steps to deal with these situations. If you are tasked with a DR plan for your organisation, or you are responsible for its integrity, the seminar is well worthwhile. |

John and Sally are a fantastic training team. In-depth technical demos show exactly how to solve tricky AD problems. John’s knowledge of AD seems limitless!! |
| |
| Colin Eales, Thames Valley Police |
|
Excellent seminar! Very refreshing to attend a seminar that is pitched at a technical level and backup up with real life experience. You have given me the motivation to go back and write that DR document! Thanks, when’s the next one? |
