Labs from home!

RS_MCP

In my 70-290 MS book, the labs are very basic, completing tasks such as, creating computer accounts, user accounts, groups, managing printers, assigning permissions, group policy and templates.

I need to do labs on tasks such as backups, shadow copy volumes, remote administration & terminal server.

Where can I get these labs from? (NEED URGENTLY)

Thank you for reading this post!

Use your imagination. Come up with scenarios and try to fulfill them.

Honestly, a lot of the 290 material is pretty basic. It really is just the foundation for future exams. Don't worry, you'll have much more to do in 291.

You can use VMWARE to create your lab for this. You can then have hands-on practice with terminal server, backup, and other functions.

I've created my network with 4 servers and 2 clients with VMWARE. Thats where I do my experiments and testing.

most of the 290 labs are basic. Its the questions that are tricky. Understanding material and being able to do a cookbook task is not the same as patiently reading a loaded question and picking the MS answer.

You could try using the MOC book for 2273 i think it is, its got some, I dont know where else you'd get lab exercises from.

I was wondering what version and the cost of this software is?

Virtual PC is free from MS and will let you set up the lab you want.

VM Ware is better, but its like $200.

VMWare Workstation is $189, but they have a free server version as well: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

I am thinking of getting VMWARE Workstation. Can I install servers on VMWARE Workstation Version?

Yes. Server/Workstation is just the name of their products and identifies some of the differences in functionality. Although, I believe you cannot install XP and 2000 Pro on VMWare Server (or at least, it's not supported). You can download 30-day evaluations of all their commercial products.
