Technical Preparation Activities

We highly recommend that you complete the following technical preparation activities:
• Read the additional readings and references included in the Course Companion Content at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/companionmoc.

• Use the OneNote Trainer Pack (OTP) on the Microsoft Learning Download Center
https://learningdownloadcenter.microsoft.com to prepare for delivering the course:
o The OTP includes the following content on each page (and in this order):
 Slides
 Instructor Notes
 Student Handbook Content
o Each module also includes the Lab Answer Keys (LAKs).

• If you are using on-premises labs, become familiar with the course’s virtual machines and how you set
up and configure them. This includes understanding the base images, mid-tier files, and activation
states. Practice setting up the classroom by following the instructions in the Microsoft Hyper-V
Classroom Setup Guide.

• If you are using hosted Microsoft Labs Online (MLO), become familiar with how the labs are accessed
and configured. Ensure that you are ready to demonstrate their use to students and that everything is
in place for a smooth experience.
MLOs can be purchased for use during course delivery at the same time you order the course
materials.
Important If you are intending to use MLO, you need to ensure that full lab
coverage is available before use. This is because the presence of some Boot to VHD or
native boot labs in some courses or modifications to some lab steps are needed to
facilitate a hosted lab platform. There are no Boot to VHD or native boot scenarios in
the labs in this course.
