Virtual Labs

I'm back! I took a hiatus after failing my 70-642 with a 668 a few months back. I'm getting back into the groove of things and plan on taking the exam again here in the next few weeks (trying to take advantage of the free second shot promo MS is doing).

My question is - is Microsoft discontinuing their free lab environment for Server 2008 R2? I've been online studying the past week or so and last night i noticed 2008 R2 wasn't available under the free labs. I mostly use it for the VPN, NPS and RRAS testing and labing.

EDIT: Perhaps it was just down, i just checked and its working... :)

    How do you access the free labs?

    You have to install a plugin to get it to work - but it's a safe plugin:
    TechNet Virtual Labs

    There you can access free labs for about 2 hours at a time. I use them for network related labs because they have everything already setup (IE workstation, server with multiple NIC's ect). So while the labs outline specific things to accomplish in the allotted time - you can literally do whatever you want.
