Exchange 2010 Boot camp from ExchangeServerPro.com – And it’s free!

Like Microsoft’s own courses, the boot camp is focused on teaching you the core basics you need to set up and administer Exchange 2010 – it isn’t aimed at some of the more complex scenarios like multi-site DAG failover design, but then again the equivalent Microsoft courses don’t either, and they cost a lot of money to attend. But what this does cover is topics such as:

  • How to build your training lab
  • Setup of Windows and Active Directory
  • Installing Exchange Server 2010
  • Configuring Exchange roles including Mailbox, Client Access and Hub Transport
  • Management of recipients, including Mailboxes, Contacts and Distribution Groups
  • Backup and recovery of Exchange

The topics are split up into four modules, and each module is split up into a number of different videos that are easy to digest – for example the Recipient Management module is split up into 6 videos of around 10 minutes or under.

To sign up for Paul’s free training, visit exchangeserverpro.com/training. After a quick sign up process all the training is available on-demand.. Enjoy!

Microsoft announced this week that starting in summer 2011, IT engineers and consultants all over the world will have an opportunity to earn MCM status on Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 by passing the required exams at one of many international testing centers. This makes the on-site training at Redmond optional. See the following link for details:

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/master-exchange-path.aspx

If you you want to learn even more about the MCM, you can read all about it here here. If you’re thinking about applying for the MCM program take a look at Neil Johnson’s MCM survivors guide and Brent Ozar’s blog series on the SQL MCM. Neil goes into great detail about the Exchange MCM, and Brent’s coverage of the SQL MCM is an interesting read (even for us Exchange guys). You’ll also want to keep an eye on The Master Blog for news and updates. Good luck!

Microsoft has recently created a great video highlighting the training experience you can expect when attending the Exchange MCM program. Watch the clip below to hear from MCM instructors and attendees as they discuss the program:
