20334 Day 1 day 1 m1-3 consider doing m3 first NOTE: Lab machines are isolated (no internet) Lab gotcha > the installation wants to download C++ runtime You need to wait this out before the setup dialog actually displays Another quirk of the admin console is "search" You still need to search (press the button) before any users are displayed In order to enable a user you need to select the "enable users" dialog then perform the search list of PS commandlets for CS PS 101 > advantages Get-CS..xxx e.g. get-csuser | ft -property DisplayName had to go directly to CLSlogger and start a scenario now I have lots of log data show scenarios in CSCLSlogger note: message analyzer is very resource intensive Some screen shots:

20533B Day 1

20533B Day 1 Today we begin our adventure in the Microsoft Cloud Today we plan to cover the following topics: NOTE: I have included a link to the lab instructions m1 - Introduction to Azure, Portals and Powershell http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/02/20533-module-1-lab-answer-key.html

20346D Day 3 Labs

20346D Day 3 Labs Today we will focus on Exchange migration from your on-premises Datacenter to the Cloud using Office 365 Please note that Office 365 is a fluid technology and Microsoft reserves the right to change the interface with short notice. This will have the biggest effect on your IT Admin staff and downstream Helpdesk Support Team.  Thankfully the effect on the end users is minimal. Here is an outline of the hands-on Labs we plan to cover: Day 3 Lab 5 - prep for EX migration - outlook anywhere using 3rd party cert Lab 6 - DNS reconfig. On-prem used the labXXXXX address to resolve OWA ..by the end of the Lab this address will point to Office 365 NOTE: subdomain used temporarily for the migration - cutover migration of email to O365 LUC-EX1.xxx.local > mail.labXXXXX.o365ready.com - final config of DNS for fully online EX/SP/SB Lab 7 - configuration of Exchange Online ..policies, addresses, events EXTRAS https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Office-365-for-business-%E2...

20533 Accenture Day 2

20533 Accenture Day 2 Lets continue our adventure in the Microsoft Cloud Today we plan to cover the following topics: NOTE: I have included links to the lab instructions m2 - Networks (VNET and VPN) http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/02/20533-module-2-lab-answer-keys.html m3 - Creating VMs http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/02/20533-module-3-lab-answer-key.html m4 - Managing VMs  http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/02/20533-module-4-lab-answer-key.html I may change the order of the modules to allow for the extra time required to complete the lab exercise for Module 2.  This usually spills over into the beginning of Day 3

20346D Day 5 Labs

20346D Day 5 Labs Day 5 Lab 10 (See 20533 Lab 11 update for demo) Visual walkthrough Q - business case for hybrid infrastructure Dirsync has been replaced with "Azure AD Connect" - advantage = (relative) simplicity of setup - can be configured for 2 way sync and group sync - disadvantage = little access to customization (PS module) Lab 11 Q - business case for SSO (See 20346C for video of end result) Federation services .. see concept refs in blog - advantage = SSO (see video of end result) - interoperation with other identity systems e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Windows Live - users can sign into Office 365 from within their domain or out on the internet using the SAME credentials and domain name - can be used in combination with dirsync - disadvantage = FS is a single point of failure - solution > use an Azure VM for ADFS and use the HA features http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2015/10/20346-federation-services-login.html http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2015/10/20346...

20346D Day 2 Labs

20346D Day 2 Labs Day 2 recap The biggest take-away for some will be M1-4 (admin) A few will need migration, still fewer SP and Lync Re-engage with Hybrid, end with monitoring ALL needed for cert exams ------------------ O365 resources for admins scenarios where PS might solve admin problems - reorgs and bulk changes - migration ------------------ Lab 2B - get DNS info from O365ready - install and confirm Exchange *** show exchange management > datacenter and cloud *** draw DNS lookup from ISP (see recording chat) *** show Azure AD, compare on-prem For these labs on Day 2 you can use the Lab instructions provided by GK  - go to the sign in page for your LOD lab - download the .pdf files at the bottom of the page NOTE: for Lab 3, Exercise 3, Task 2, Step 14 you may need the following link to download the  Azure Rights Management Module https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=30339 Lab 3 - admin roles - password policy - rms..activate and integrate with EX/SP...

20346D Day 1 Labs

20346D Day 1 Labs Here is a list of considerations before you attempt the Lab Exercises: - mention the transition to new portal - Suggest Install Chrome on CL1 to render new portal Also: - you may need to install CA role on DC1..complete post install configuration and accept defaults - review Windows 8/Server 2012 navigation > Windows 8 for beginners - review Powershell > PS 101 http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/06/20346d-module-1-lab-answer-key.html Lab 1A - Create a Windows Live identity Lab 1B NOTE: using the CL1 virtual machine for O365 management allows you to keep identity separate from those on your local computer - some consideration from PM - validate lab works - admin tools .. Powershell Tools .. Connectivity Analyzer - setup a tenant account for Heidi NOTE: this will require a 4 digit number XXXX start with 9999 and go backwards till it accepts Lab 2A http://metafore2012.blogspot.ca/2016/06/20346d-module-2-lab-answer-key.html - install Office - create some sample us...
