Server 2012 Newsletter #3
NEXT NEWSLETTER (#3)
- Free eBook on Server 2012 (no physical books are out yet)
- Training
Ok, as promised, in this note we will provide links on a FREE ebook on Server 2012. Most new books are ebooks because they are available before they can get them printed. If you have a Kindle, this one is also available in .MOBI. You can also install the Kindle app on a PC, or on a phone, or whatever, you don’t really need a Kindle to read Kindle books. Kindles will also read .pdf. So, why is a .mobi better? Simple; a .pdf on a Kindle does not scale; you have to scroll around to read it which is a pain. A .mobi will scale and read just like a Kindle book. Also, if you use the “send to Kindle” app, it will NOT work with this book as it’s just over the 50 Mb limit for the “send to Kindle” app. This is like 51 Mb or something, so you have to move it to your Kindle with a USB cord. Anyhow, enough of Kindle.
- There, now you will have a book to go along with your new OS. Next is the free training mentioned. I’ve had questions about this already, so I hope some people take advantage of this one time opportunity.
- Leveraging the popular “Jump Start” virtual classroom approach, Microsoft Senior Technical Evangelist Rick Claus and TrainSignal Microsoft Certified Trainer Ed Liberman will walk you through new features and functionality in Windows Server 2012. Topics and technologies covered will include Dynamic Access Control (DAC), Failover Clustering, Microsoft Online Backup and storage, Active Directory, Hyper-V and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), and high availability. This course is NOT a “product upgrade” course covering considerations for migrating and upgrading your specific environment; but, it is exam preparation material and maps directly to Exam 70-417: Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012. Note this is PACIFIC time, so it’s evening. I belive these will be available “on demand” afterwards, most MVA (Microsoft Virtual Academy) stuff IS, but I don’t know for sure.
