MVP Dan Holme is a contributing editor to Windows IT Pro magazine and his articles feature here on an almost monthly basis. On top of that, he's director of consulting for a firm that delivers services for enterprise-sized Windows shops as well as being the Microsoft technologies consultant for U.S. network TV station NBC's coverage of the Olympics.

As we revealed in the May edition of Windows IT Pro News EMEA, the first day of Holme's Munich Masterclass will focus on best practices for all recent versions of Windows for administering Active Directory, Group Policy and Windows clients and servers. Day two focuses exclusively on SharePoint and is aimed both at IT people who are just beginning to work out the potential of the platform and those who are planning to migrate to SharePoint 2010 from previous versions.

Topics include a SharePoint Administration "jump-start" which explains what you need to know to administer SharePoint in just 90 minutes, a look at how to use SharePoint document libraries as a replacement for traditional file shares, and a session on driving end-user adoption via Office apps acting as SharePoint clients.

Holme will also explain how to build "business intelligence-lite" and business process automation solutions that are code-free using Office clients and SharePoint Designer as well as how to align SharePoint 2010 with a business's strategic objectives.
