Chatroom Highlights:





 ## Did you see my question about naming? 🙂





 ## Rick is an awesome supporter of The Krewe for TechEd!





 ## how can PDT deploy to Azure if some System Center components (SCVMM) are not supported in Azure?





 ## Are there any plans to port some of the PDT functionality to leverage DSC?





 ## how are customers successful deploying SC with PDT without Microsoft's help? I often hear people having problems with too complex XML config files





 ## Whats the fewest number of VM's I need to deploy the whole system centre suite using this toolkit?





 ## some error logs might help too 😉
