Evening all, Just wondering if anyone here has experience of SCCM labs. I’m doing the administrateing and configuring SCCM course this week and I’m working through the labs with colleagues. I’m just wondering if there is any value in seeing if work will get me my own platform / machine with enough power to run several VM’s? I’ve seen the Microsoft demo labs, are they any good? grateful for any tips/advice. Thanks, Kieran. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> Save Time Do It Online!

Hi Kieran: I don't have any experience with the SCCM labs, but the short answer to your question is absolutely, if you're getting into SCCM, you need a lab environment to play around with and get familiar with how SCCM works. Not having a lab environment is just irresponsible. SCCM is a very powerful application, and you can accomplish a lot of tasks with it. But with great power comes great responsibility, and using SCCM improperly can easily lead to what many IT pros call an RGE (resume generating event.) Here is an article with a good example of such an event<https://faildesk.net/2012/08/collossal-it-fail-accidentally-formatting-hard-disks-of-9000-pcs-and-490-servers/>. That said, I was an SCCM administrator for many years and through being very careful, nothing bad happened in my organization. SCCM can help your org a lot when used properly and if you're willing to take the time to learn what it can do and how to use it, so even if you can't get Microsoft's labs to work, building up your own lab would be a very good thing to do, give yourself time to get familiar with the UI and just how it works, as even with accessibility issues aside, the SCCM admin console is a very busy UI beast.
