My friend and colleague, David Fabritius who works hand in hand with the SBS and EBS product teams shared some exciting news with me today and I wanted to pass it on to you. There are now Hands on Labs available for SBS2008! It’s a great way for you to ramp up new employees or for those of you who are just venturing into the server market, its a safe way to get your feet wet without damage a production environment.
Here’s the information from David…
Have you been wanting to get some hands-on experience with Windows Small Business Server 2008 but weren’t sure how to get started? We have just the thing! Four hands-on-labs for SBS 2008 are available for download from Microsoft Connect: Administration, Managing Clients, Installation, and Migration from SBS 2003. To take advantage of these labs, you will need a test server with at least 4GB of RAM running Microsoft Hyper-V Server or Windows Server 2008 with the Hyper-V role installed.
To download the labs, use your Live ID to login to Microsoft Connect, select Connection Directory, and enter the invitation code SBSP-62B6-K3TH, which will give you access via the SBS 2008 Downloads page. In addition to gaining access to these labs, joining the MS Connect community is a great way to stay informed and up-to-date about the latest developments with SBS 2008 and interact with some our most active and knowledgeable partners.
