    Tried to get voucher tonight and got:

    "Our apologies but due to popular demand, we are currently out of vouchers. Please come back in 48 hours to request your voucher."

    Guess I will have to try again in a couple days?

    CarlSaiyed... Congrats on passing!! What Sybex book did you use? I could not find one on this particular exam. Could you point me to the trainsignal videos also? I plan on taking this one next month and it would be a great help. Thanks

    Thanks! I used this book from amazon and these videos from Pluralsight (used to be trainsignal until they merged). Good luck!

    Thank you CarlSaiyed. I was going to ask if it it was those resources that you used or not. Congrats on the pass and the feedback.

    I have no experience with Win Server 2012, Hyper V or Virtualization.

    Where should I start for studying this test ?

    @aswebdev start out with the MVA course and then get the Sybex book. Lab everything you can. If you work hard on all three you can pass this exam.

    Yep, just tried signing up... same message. Guess we either missed the boat or they are slowing down on giving them out. I'll try again in a couple days.

    I don't see it mentioned anywhere else in the thread... but MS has some free virtual labs for Hyper-V and System Center 2012: TechNet Virtual Labs

    Just an update. I signed up last night and got the message they were out of vouchers and to check back in 48 hours. Checked again a few minutes ago just for grins and there it was. Got my voucher, going to sign up to take the test tonight when I get home.

    Just wanted to let everyone know the deal isn't dead, you simply have to be a bit more patient.

    Is this voucher still free, or the time to offer it for free has been passed.

    Best of luck to all who are taking the exam. FYI: If you get the wait 48 hours message, just refresh the page every 20 minutes or so your voucher will appear. Well, as long as they have vouchers anyway.

    I would recommend their video training also. It is free as well and isnt too bad. I am through the first 2 videos and the guys doing it are fairly easy to follow and know their stuff.

    I'm happy to see that you guys are still able to register. My company needed me to go on-site all of a sudden, so I wasn't able to make it. Gonna see if I can get another voucher somehow.

    Hi,

    For the people who have taken and passed this, will this be enough Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Essentials - Online Training Course for Developers . I look through the MS video with the 2 chaps and there appeared to be loads of waffle as well. I intend to build a 2012 server and install use a laptop as the client I want to virtualise. Might be able to make a seconday pure hyperv server too. Can anyone recommended any further virtual labs ( ms ones? )

    Im not too sure how deep this exam is.

    All advice welcome.

    You will want to watch this if you haven't already: Microsoft Virtual Academy

    Those are the videos that more or less lead to the free exam. Also the pluralsight videos are good on the hyper-v side but I am not seeing anything saying it covers SCVMM which will be a big part of the test. I have not taken it yet but I will guarantee it will be on there.

    Hi guys, just receive this e-mail from Prometric/MS, looks like they have done some kind of massive mistake. So, my previous FAIL became a PASS \o/
