Series of Webcasts... need ideas!

Hey everyone!

I've been invited by Microsoft to do a series of webcasts..

The format is cool:

() 30 minutes of talk and demo
() 30 minutes of Q & A

So, I need some ideas on what to speak on!

If you have good topic ideas, either reply here, or send to me personally jeremym (at) moskowitz-inc.com

Thanks in advance!

I don't think this would be enough for its own session, maybe combined with another topic...

How about 'How to ensure you are using the correct ADM files'.

Where to find them, where to put them, etc.

How group policy processing behaves by default.
How to configure GP to process without changes to the ordered list.
How the GP engine creates the ordered list of GPO's for the first GP processing milestone. It seems to me, the "processing" rules LSDOU and link order are used to determine the order of the list in this step.
What actual processing is done to reach the first milestone.
How that list is then "summed" to create the RSOP which is then applied to an object. It seems to me the "processing" rules of settings inheritance determine the RSOP in the step – if the precedence has already been determined in the first milestone.
I'm grappling with the term "processing" because it seems context sensitive - and it seems to refer to a whole lot of stuff/different concepts, the sum of which seems bigger and demanding of a more detailed explanation than "processing". I feel like I have learned/understand how links are inherited/transitive, how settings are inherited, how the link location affects processing order which affects precedence, but then I read more and it seems the different rules are applied at different times during the actual "processing," and that GP is always processed but at the same time not processed, or that processing stops if there have not been any changes. Would that be fully processed vs partially processed, processed and applied vs processed and not applied? I am curious to really understand how processing works.

How about a class on how Windows Server 2003 & SBS 2003's group policy planning/implemting differ?

From what I've seen on my SBS and seminars for Server 2003, they are not the same and are configured differently.

Where, exactly, all security options configuration changes in GPOs and on the local host go, and how the secedit.sdb plays its part in hosting these changes.
