Microsoft Learning Product Types

Microsoft Learning offers the following instructor-led products. Each is specific to a particular audience type and level of experience. The different product types also tend to suit different learning styles. These types are as follows:

• Courses are for information technology (IT) professionals and developers who are new to a particular product or technology and for experienced individuals who prefer to learn in a traditional classroom format. Courses provide a relevant and guided learning experience that combines lecture and practice to deliver thorough coverage of a Microsoft product or technology. Courses are designed to address the needs of learners engaged in planning, design, implementation, management, and support phases of the technology adoption life-cycle. They provide detailed information by focusing on concepts and principles, reference content, and in-depth hands-on lab activities to ensure knowledge transfer. Typically, the content of a course is broad, addressing a wide range of tasks necessary for the job role.

• Courses are also for knowledgeable IT professionals and developers who learn best by doing and exploring. Courses provide a hands-on learning experience in which participants use Microsoft products in a safe and collaborative environment based on real-world scenarios.



• iWorker courses or Information Worker Courses are scenario-based courseware lines to compete in the desktop applications market. This scenario-based courseware line will fill a need for applications training that supports on-the-job performance improvement with business and productivity solutions (rather than feature-based training). The purpose of an iWorker course is to promote skills/ knowledge transfer in the context of business scenarios to accomplish business objectives by working individually or collaboratively to find answers. iWorker courses are aimed at users who have working knowledge of the technology and are interested in applying that knowledge in specific business scenarios.

• Clinics are for IT professionals, developers and technical decision makers. Clinics offer a detailed “how to” presentation that describes the features and functionality of an existing or new Microsoft product or technology, and that showcases product demonstrations and solutions. Clinics focus on how specific features will solve business problems.

• First-look Clinics are products specifically designed to deliver early content or critical information that Product Groups or other internal customers need communicated quickly and broadly. The First Look products convey knowledge-based (not skills-based) information to an audience profile identified as high-level Business Decision Makers.

• Hands-on Labs provide IT professionals and developers with hands-on experience with an existing or new Microsoft product or technology. Hands-on labs provide a realistic and safe environment to encourage knowledge transfer by learning through doing. The labs provided are completely prescriptive so that no lab answer keys are required. There is very little lecture or text content provided in hands-on labs, aside from lab introductions, context setting, and lab reviews.

Acquiring the Skills Tested by an MCP Exam Official Microsoft Learning Products can help you develop the skills that you need to do your job. They also complement the experience that you gain while working with Microsoft products and technologies. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between Official Microsoft Learning Products and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intend for the courses to be the sole preparation method for passing MCP exams. Practical product knowledge and experience are also necessary to pass MCP exams.

To help prepare for MCP exams, use the preparation guides that are available for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific information, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested. These guides are available on the Microsoft Learning Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/.

Setup

This section provides the information for setting up the classroom environment to support the business scenario of the course.

Virtual Machine Configuration In this course, you will use Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 to perform the hands-on practices and labs.

Important: At the end of each lab, you must close the virtual machine and must not save any changes. To close a virtual machine without saving the changes, perform the following steps: 1. On the virtual machine, on the Action menu, click Close. 2. In the Close dialog box, in the What do you want the virtual machine to do? list, click Turn off and delete changes, and then click OK.



The following table shows the role of each virtual machine used in this course:

Software Configuration The following software is installed on the VM:

• Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Course Files There are files associated with the demonstrations, practices, and labs in this course. The files are located on each student computer, in the folder E:\Labfiles.

Classroom Setup Each classroom computer will have the same virtual machine configured in the same way.



Course Hardware Level To ensure a satisfactory student experience, Microsoft Learning requires a minimum equipment configuration for trainer and student computers in all Microsoft Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS) classrooms in which Official Microsoft Learning Product courseware are taught. This course requires that you have a computer that meets or exceeds hardware level 5, which specifies a 2.4–gigahertz (minimum) Pentium 4 or equivalent CPU, at least 2 gigabytes (GB) of RAM, 16 megabytes (MB) of video RAM, and a 7200 RPM 40-GB hard disk.



Demonstration: Using Microsoft Virtual Server

Ask if students are familiar with Microsoft Virtual PC. If they are not, spend a few minutes describing how this tool works. Demonstrate how to perform each of the following tasks in Virtual PC. Stress the importance of shutting down the virtual machines and discarding the undo disks.

Virtual PC Demonstration In this demonstration, your instructor will help familiarize you with the Virtual PC environment in which you will work to complete the practices and labs in this course. You will learn:

• How to start Virtual PC. • How to start a virtual machine. • How to log on to a virtual machine. • How to switch between full screen and window modes.



• How to distinguish the virtual machines that are used in the practices for this course. That the virtual machines can communicate with each other and with the host computer, but they cannot communicate with computers that are outside of the virtual environment. (For example, no Internet access is available from the virtual environment.)

• How to close Virtual PC.

Keyboard Shortcuts While working in the Virtual PC environment, you might find it helpful to use keyboard shortcuts. All Virtual PC shortcuts include a key that is referred to as the HOST key or the RIGHT-ALT key. By default, the HOST key is the ALT key on the right side of your keyboard. Some useful shortcuts include:

• RIGHT-ALT+DELETE to log on to the Virtual PC. • RIGHT-ALT+ENTER to switch between full-screen and window modes. • RIGHT-ALT+RIGHT ARROW to display the next virtual machine.
