    Just checked and that title doesn't exist:  DCM Configuration Manifest Beta Program.  The only thing I see is Nomination Survey for Partners - SMSv4 Desired Configuration Management (DCM)...is there something else to getting into that program?

    Hey folks,

    I came across an excellent training source on Microsoft's Desired Configuration Monitoring product from a Seattle based company Alpha Tech Solutions (http://www.alpha-tech-solutions.com/).

    I tried it out and I personnaly feel this would be very helpful to anybody planning or using the product. The training is reasonably priced for the amount of information it contains.

    Thanks,
    Andre
