Hello, I have found that the way training companies are doing it now is really unproductive. What I do is have a set of machines all pre-configured (10 of them), and then import them on Hyper-V. I don't use the system they use, and they mainly seem fine with it. I don't understand the reasoning for this new system. It doesn't really represent industry, or anything of that sort. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Mika Pyyhkala Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2015 12:13 AM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Microsoft training question We have struggled with the same thing here in the Boston area. I remember when New Horizons used to offer courses with actual server software running on the local boxes. This is defenetly a problematic trend. -Mika @pyyhkala -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 8:08 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Microsoft training question Hi everyone: I was scheduled to take an advanced Windows Server 2012R2 course from a local Microsoft training center in a few weeks, but it looks like that may have ran into some problems. The training center used to be very traditional with these courses, a local instructor and for labs they had a workstation in front of you with a few Hyper-V virtual machines. With a little Window-Eyes tweaking it went very well. But now, half the time the instructors are remote, and they have some strange way of running the labs off a central server that doesn’t use traditional remote desktop. I went through this before with New Horizons in my area, and even after showing them how to make accommodations for me, they just didn’t want to talk about it or even consider it. So I went to this other place and now that they’ve been bought out they’re starting to do the same thing. So, I’m wondering if anyone has a good experience with a training center they’d be willing to pass on? I’m all about technical books and setting up test labs yourself, but sometimes there’s still a good place for a good vendor training course. Thanks.
