That forum you link to (and which everyone keeps suggesting to me) is
not a PARTNER forum! It is a community forum and as such does not get the same attention from Microsoft experts as a Partner forum does. We pay a great deal of money to become MS partners, that is why we get private forums with access to better support
in those forums. We need one for DPM.
You are right that there are too many public forums but we're not talking about the free community forums here.
