Exchange 2010 Training Course

[Dangerous]

We need some training for exchange what do you recommend?

Looking for a online course for 2 of us.

 

[anything I don't mind]

CBT nuggets offer some good video courses

just check their website doesn't look like they have updated to 2010 yet. isn't it still in beta ?

isn't it still in beta ?

No, its been a full product since (iirc) October.

We've had it in production since its release date.

However, given it's relative similarity to Exchange 2007, other than a few minor changes, you'd be more than adequate administering an Exchange 2010 organization with an Exchange 2007 qualification/training course under your belt.

Thats the thing we are still on 2003 so thats why looking for a course

Do you not get anything through Microsoft themselves with your licensing agreement?

If you really can't find an Exchange 2010 course (and tbh I really doubt anyone with more than a slight interest in system administration does need one), then just take a 2007 course, as it will be more than enough.

The MS courses arent ready until June and we want to roll it out this month.

If its of any use I rolled out ours after doing nothing more than a quick bit of internet based reading, a test deployment on my virtual labs, and then the real thing.

It's not rocket science

So long as you know what the different server roles do, what their prerequisites are, and how to perform basic administration using MMC based tools (very VERY simple), then IMO it's actually simpler than Exchange 2003, certainly more intuitive and definately more secure from a default installation.

Trainsignal are pretty good. I found the Exchange 2007 videos to be of decent quality, I don't see why 2010 wouldn't be as good.

Me too, and with a smidge of help from Paradigm, although our 2007 deployment was just from web based reading. A 2007 qualification will be more than adequate
