Hyper-V virtualization is a huge leap forward in Windows Server technology, and learning to properly utilize Hyper-V will help you stay competitive in the emerging virtualization market. With our Hyper-V Training you'll learn about live migration, Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2, snapshots, and more!

You'll discover the tools and techniques that allow you to quickly provision new servers, create test environments, configure virtualized physical servers, and much more. Plus, this course covers the new features of Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2. If you want to develop hands-on experience with Hyper-V and to potentially revolutionize how you think about system administration, then this course is for you!

All you need is a computer with Internet Explorer and a media player. However working hands-on with Hyper-V may enhance your training experience.

NOTE: If you have taken TrainSignal's 70-640 Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Training course, you will benefit from this course as well.

Hyper-V Course Outline
Video 1: Welcome to Hyper-V
Of course we have to have an introduction video to let you know what's in the course, what you can expect, and a little about your instructor.

Video 2: Requirements and Installation
Covers virtualization theory and hardware requirements to prepare you for the rest of the course. You'll also see how to get the Hyper-V Server Role installed.

Video 3: Creating a Virtual Machine
Step-by-step, you'll create your first virtual machine in Hyper-V.

Video 4: Virtual Networks
Discover the secrets you need to know to allow your Virtual Machines to talk to each other.

Video 5: Virtual Disk and Snapshot Tricks
Discover the advantages of Virtual Hard Disks, including hardware and software flexibility. Plus, learn the secret to super-fast deployment!

Video 6: Using Windows Deployment Services (WDS) To Deploy Virtual Machines
Since Microsoft has created their own image-based deployment option, Windows Deployment Services, server deployment has become much faster and easier. In this video, you'll learn about using WDS in conjunction with Hyper-V can make migrating a physical server to a virtual environment a simple task.

Video 7: Making Your Virtual Machines Portable
Being able to export and import your virtual machines allows you to move, back-up, and restore your VM's in a snap.

Video 8: Providing Access to Hyper-V
Learn how to share the wealth with users who need access to Hyper-V management tools.

Video 9: Building a Complete AD Test Environment in Hyper-V
Using Hyper-V to create a testing environment is a great way to create a disposable and easy-to-restore set of machines to play with during the testing and development of new software applications. In this video you'll take everything you you've learned thus far and put it all to use.

Video 10: Server 2008 R2 Upgrade
Discover the new features of Hyper-V in Server 2008 R2 and how to upgrade your existing machine to R2!

Video 11: New Features for Hyper-V in Server 2008 R2
Adding storage in a physical environment can be less then fun. One of the great features of Server 2008 R2 is the ability to add and remove Virtual Hard Disks on a virtual SCSI controller. I will show you some other new “fun features” that the boys and girls over at Microsoft have come up with to make your experience with Hyper-V even easier!

Video 12 Failover Clustering
Get the low-down on failover clustering with Hyper-V. Then, do a “science experiment” to create a failover cluster that will allow you to have a highly available virtual machine.

This course includes:

12 videos will be provided in high-quality .AVI and .WMV format. In other words, you get perfect quality and replication of your instructors' screens. An easy-to-use table of contents allows you to navigate to key areas you wish to focus on.

12 iPod video files to watch Train Signal on the go! A popular request amongst our students who wish to study while they commute (i.e. train, plane, bus). These 320x240 M4V files are compressed versions of the original course, and play on any iPod that supports video. Also great for reviewing and refreshing your mind "on the job."

12 MP3 audio files to listen to Train Signal anytime, anywhere. Some of our students have requested this option. Now, you can listen in the car or while working out. Our MP3 files can be burnt to a CD or copied to a portable device.

Instructor Notes - These PDF documents, which can be printed out, contain the slides used by the instructors throughout the videos. These documents allow the user a quick easy reference to the instructors' notes on the slides, and provides a place to make additional notes.
