Among others is to continue posting on my blog and on technet to help others and also to continue learning. I
intend to take other certifications and become a MCT and MVP if possible. Among other plans would migrate my Windows Server 2008 R2 by 2012 R2 and do a Nic Team with my 3 gigabit network cards, and also deploy RDS to the accounting system.

What are your 5 favorite articles on Technet Wiki?

What are your recommendations for those who have not yet contributed to the Technet Wiki Community?
As an article can go from basic to advanced the important thing is to be objective in the explanation and imagine that article writing can help people who search by doubt. So to write an article needs to devote a few hours writing, editing and cropping some images for the post. In my case I felt a lot of the lack of articles with complete explanation about issues such as installation, which in time to point to SQL always occurred problems, among others from the System Center family.

What can the Microsoft community contribute with on Technet Wiki?
All with good experience in Microsoft platforms can concentrate on something that has more easily/specialty and turn this into an article that will help everyone. The longer deployment materials better. And the Technet Forum for more specific questions also makes it much easier.

The Microsoft community that you can only help so much thank you and tell you. Thank you!

Your willingness to help and your dedication and commitment is of fundamental importance for all.
We are sure, that your example, motivates other employees to be part of this great team that is the Technet community.
Continue with the great collaboration!
