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 😉
