There is no R2 thread that I have seen. I believe following the resources provided in the change guide should yield some results on google.--

Just to add, most of the links in the OP don't appear to be opening so either they've been replaced or the site is still experiencing issues.

Has MS removed the Training Guide book from there recommended books ?
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-gb/exam-70-410.aspx
I thought both that and the Exam Ref were there when I looked a couple of months back.
I was just about to buy it but wondered if they were about to release the R2 version and that's why MS removed it from there site.
Also some very negative comments about the Training Guide on Amazon, I might just stick with Technet virtual labs and my own stuff. -

Just use the non-R2 one, it's mostly labs. Microsoft recommend using the Training Guide first then the Exam Ref afterwards to fill in the gaps.

I am a Powershell Junkie. Almost every time I do something Server related, I try to find a way to do it via Powershell.
