System Center Virtual User Group Weblog

Virtual SCUG Forum Update

You'll notice in the "Forums" section, we removed the product-specific forums. When it comes to product support, more forums are not necessarily better. Our focus here is really to bring new and innovative SCUG activities and user collaboration, not to launch yet another support forum. That being said, we thought it best to set the right tone early on.

You'll also notice a new forum labeled "Contest". Watch for details in the next few days.

 For System Center support questions, Microsoft newsgroups and TechNet forums are really the best place to find assistance. There are also a couple of great community sources for System Center support. We've listed all your best System Center Support options below.
