      <title>Edge Show 62 - Hyper-V Server 2012 Cluster Deployment Using Free Tools </title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>At <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=06m25s">[06:25]</a> Symon Perriman&nbsp;and Rick Claus talk through an end-to-end deploy of a Hyper-V cluster using entirely free tools (without any evaluation bits—you get to keep everything!). First Symon introduces the free tools, which include Hyper-V Server 2012 (<a href="http://microsoft.com/hvs">http://microsoft.com/hvs</a>), Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 (<a href="http://aka.ms/iSCSITarget">http://aka.ms/iSCSITarget</a>), Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan: <a href="http://aka.ms/RDCman">http://aka.ms/RDCman</a>), and Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT: <a href="http://aka.ms/RSAT">http://aka.ms/RSAT</a>).</p><p>Next, at <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=11m55s">[11:55]</a> the team walks through an installation of Hyper-V Server 2012 using Windows 8 Client Hyper-V, taking advantage of the lightweight installation package and small storage footprint. Symon then uses RDCMan to manage a new Hyper-V Server 2012 host and discusses some password management features. Then, Rick talks about the GUIless configuration options used to join the Hyper-V Server to the domain, and also discusses different GUI-based remote management options.</p><p>Symon then <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=16m20s">[16:20]</a> installs the iSCSI Software Target, creates an iSCSI target and virtual disks, and connects both hosts to the target through their iSCSI initiators. Next, the team uses PowerShell to initialize and format the newly created iSCSI disks. The team then <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=28m25s">[28:25]</a> switches to using RSAT for remote server management of the Hyper-V hosts from a Windows 8 laptop. After connecting to the hosts, they install the Failover Clustering feature and being to build the cluster. After validating the Hyper-V hosts and iSCSI storage, the team ends the demo by creating a Failover Clustering.</p><p><strong>News:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=0m20s">[00:20]</a> Join the System Center&nbsp;2012 Live Q&amp;A event on May 21st: <a href="http://aka.ms/AzureJS">http://aka.ms/Earn-SysCtr</a> (this link will redirect you to the recording approximately one week after the&nbsp;event) </li><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=1m10s">[01:10]</a> Register for TechEd North America (<a href="http://northamerica.msteched.com">http://northamerica.msteched.com</a>)&nbsp;and TechEd Europe (<a href="http://europe.msteched.com">http://europe.msteched.com</a>) before they sell out! </li><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=1m45s">[01:45]</a> 5 new System Center 2012 SP1 virtual labs are now available from TechNet: <a href="http://aka.ms/SCLabs">http://aka.ms/SCLabs</a> </li><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=2m25s">[02:25]</a> Check out the exciting&nbsp;news about the upcoming Windows 8.1 from the Windows blog: <a href="http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2013/05/14/windows-keeps-getting-better.aspx">http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2013/05/14/windows-keeps-getting-better.aspx</a> </li><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=3m15s">[03:15]</a> A new System Center 2012&nbsp;Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Pack has been released to monitor&nbsp;Amazon Web Services (AWS): <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/windows/system-center/">https://aws.amazon.com/windows/system-center/</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </li><li><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Edge/Edge-Show-62-Hyper-V-Server-2012-Cluster-Deployment-Using-Free-Tools#time=4m15s">[04:15]</a> Learn more about creating a OEM Appliance OOBE for simplified Failover Clustering deployments: <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2013/05/08/oem-appliance-oobe-update-set-up-a-4-node-cluster-in-30-minutes.aspx">http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2013/05/08/oem-appliance-oobe-update-set-up-a-4-node-cluster-in-30-minutes.aspx</a> </li></ul><p><strong>Connect with the Edge Team: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5850797374">Facebook</a> – <a href="https://twitter.com/tnedge">Twitter</a>&nbsp;- <a href="mailto:edge@microsoft.com">Email</a></p> <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/teched/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:5ccc29f4f7564d5baf2fa1bf011794d4">]]></description>

Then, Rick talks about the GUIless configuration options used to join the Hyper-V Server to the domain, and also discusses different GUI-based remote management options. Symon then [16:20] installs the iSCSI Software Target, creates an iSCSI target and virtual disks, and connects both hosts to the target through their iSCSI initiators. Next, the team uses PowerShell to initialize and format the newly created iSCSI disks. The team then [28:25] switches to using RSAT for remote server management of the Hyper-V hosts from a Windows 8 laptop. After connecting to the hosts, they install the Failover Clustering feature and being to build the cluster. After validating the Hyper-V hosts and iSCSI storage, the team ends the demo by creating a Failover Clustering.

      <itunes:summary>Giving back to the communities where our events are held is an important part of Microsoft&#39;s corporate citizenship efforts.&amp;nbsp; Last year at TechEd in Orlando we assembled over 3,000 hygiene and activity packs that benefitted the Ronald McDonald Houses of Central Florida and the Florida Hospital for Children, and painted 14 full murals that were installed in Citrus Memorial Hospital. This year, on Sunday, June 2, hundreds of TechEd attendees and staff will volunteer in the Seabrook neighborhood of New Orleans to help revitalize the area through a variety of activities at a local park and community center. Building on the work of Microsoft Convergence attendees in March, TechEd volunteers will complete some of these projects at the Seabrook Community Center and begin the first phase of creating a community park for residents of the neighborhood, including: Community Center Projects:&amp;nbsp; Build and stain shade cover for Chapel deck Complete gates for new fence to enclose a future ball park Stain 2,000 feet of fencing Complete Senior Lounge Seabrook Community Park Projects: Build 3 Shade Shelters&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Install picnic tables for shelters Paint entire fence surrounding park Build 300 feet of&amp;nbsp; wooden privacy fencing on one side of park Build raised beds within the park Frame one Habitat House that will be &#39;raised&#39; in a nearby area If you can&#39;t make it on Sunday, we&#39;ll have a variety of activities onsite at the NOMCC throughout the week to give back!&amp;nbsp; Build much-needed snack kits for U.S. Troops in lockdown and awaiting deployment, lend a hand packaging school supplies for local children in need, or try your hand at one of our art projects that will be donated to local schools and community centers.

      <title>Great Tips for First-Time Attendees</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Over the years, Alumni and Staff have shared their tips and strategies for getting the most out of TechEd. If you're new to TechEd, these &quot;Top 10&quot; tips will help you prepare for an incredible experience and ensure you get the most out of your investment.</p><p>#1:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong> Wear comfortable shoes.</strong> You will walk miles—literally! Bring more than one pair of good shoes, so you can focus on learning and networking, not on sore feet. Buy them now and break them in, so they will be truly comfortable by the time you hit the convention center.</p><p>#2:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Planning your session schedule before you fly will help you get what you came for.</strong> &nbsp;Use Schedule Builder (for <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013?sort=schedule">North America</a> and <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Europe/2013?sort=schedule">Europe</a>) to find the sessions that you want to attend and add them to your calendar. Have a backup plan. If a session you wanted to attend is full or you find out it's not what you expected, you'll save valuable time by having a Plan B session for each timeslot. Remember, you can also view sessions you missed on-demand <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd?mtag=blog%20">here</a>.</p><p>#3: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>After you've picked up your badge, check your conference guide for info on WiFi set-up,</strong> the location of the Technical Help Desk, and Information Center, so you can quickly get help onsite if needed.</p><p>#4: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Attend a TechEd101 Session at TechEd North America.</strong> Think of it as a TechEd primer covering everything there is to learn and do at the event, so you can take advantage of it. TechEd 101 will be held on Sunday, June 2 at 1:00pm and 4:00pm.</p><p>#5:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Talk with EVERYONE.</strong> Spend time in the Microsoft Solutions Experience (MSE) in the TechExpo and talk with the product teams. These are the people who created the products, here to help you in-person. Talk with the Speakers... tapping their expert knowledge is a key take-away. And then there are thousands of other techs, just like you, who came to learn and share their experiences.</p><p>#6: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Make time in your schedule for Hands-on Labs (HOLs).</strong> Remember, HOLs are not only a chance to try out the latest products, but Technical Learning Guides (TLGs) will be on hand to help walk you through or answer questions. Explore the HOL for <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013?sort=sequential&amp;direction=desc&amp;term=&amp;t=hands-on-lab">North America</a> and <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/europe/2013?sort=sequential&amp;direction=desc&amp;term=&amp;t=hands-on-lab">Europe</a>.</p><p>#7: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>The TechExpo is big!</strong> Check out the participating sponsors and exhibitors for <a href="http://northamerica.msteched.com/TechExpo?mtag=blog%20">North America</a> and <a href="http://europe.msteched.com/TechExpo?mtag=blog%20">Europe</a> and make a list of companies you want to visit. When you get onsite, use the floor plan in your conference guide to plan your route through the hall.</p><p>#8: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Don't sit out the social events.</strong> You may be tired at the end of a long day of sessions, but the parties, receptions, and jams are your best chance to network with your peers and Microsoft experts, and have some fun. You won't regret it in the morning.</p><p>#9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Get Certified at TechEd.</strong> Take advantage of the support available onsite, like the Exam Prep Sessions, Study Hall, and Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) who are here to help you through the process. Plus, you'll get 50% off the regular exam price. Learn more and sign up to take a Microsoft Certification exam at <a href="http://northamerica.msteched.com/Certification?mtag=blog">TechEd North America</a> or <a href="http://europe.msteched.com/Certification?mtag=blog">TechEd Europe</a>.</p><p>#10: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Take a big suitcase (or an extra one!). </strong>&nbsp;You'll need room for items you receive or buy at TechEd. Or, consider shipping materials home from the Business Center onsite.</p><p><a title="Register for TechEd North America" href="http://northamerica.msteched.com/Registration">Register for TechEd North America</a></p><p><a title="Register for TechEd Europe" href="http://europe.msteched.com/Registration">Register for TechEd Europe</a></p><p>If you've got TechEd tips of your own, share them!</p> <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/teched/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:7054820dd46844ce819ea1ab008a72a5">]]></description>

      <title>Top 3 Reasons to Attend TechEd 2013</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Each year, attendees give the same&nbsp;three reasons for attending. They come to Microsoft TechEd to: Learn, Connect and Explore.</p><p>Sounds simple, right? Here's what they mean:</p><p><strong>1. Learn </strong>about the future of Microsoft products, solutions and services directly from the leaders, complete with news, announcements and demos. Unlike traditional classroom training with a fixed set of topics, TechEd allows you to personalize your learning experience. Mix and match the sessions—and session types—you want to attend, including breakout sessions, hands-on labs, birds-of-a-feather sessions, keynotes, and more. Each of the four days provides you the opportunity to completely immerse yourself in sessions that offer insight into the products you are working with.</p><p><strong>2. Connect </strong>with thousands of your peers. Leverage the <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/techedna">TechEd North America forum</a> or the <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/techedeu">TechEd Europe forum</a> beforehand to connect with fellow attendees. Speak with Microsoft product team members who build the products you work with every day, as well as industry experts who are deploying and building Microsoft solutions that may benefit your projects. Explore vendor solutions that can help you achieve your goals. Discuss challenges and brainstorm potential solutions with like-minded individuals at structured networking opportunities including the TechExpo Welcome Reception, Ask the Experts, the Attendee Party in North America and Country Drinks in Europe.</p><p><strong>3. Explore </strong>products and tools that can make your job easier and cut down on the time you spend troubleshooting issues. There is no better way to learn about Microsoft products than to play with them in the hands-on labs, at demo stations and elsewhere throughout the conference. TechEd is your best chance of the year to see how Microsoft products were made to be used and learn how to use them.</p><p>In today's online and always-connected world, there is tremendous benefit in having dedicated time away from your office to focus on advancing your expertise, minus the distractions. By attending TechEd in-person, you are giving yourself the best chance to learn, connect and explore and take advantage of everything the event has to offer.&nbsp;</p><p>Don't delay. Take advantage of the early bird discount pricing:</p><p><a title="Register for TechEd North America" href="http://northamerica.msteched.com/Registration">Register for TechEd North America</a>&nbsp;by March 22 and Save $300.</p><p><a title="Register for TechEd Europe" href="http://europe.msteched.com/Registration">Register for TechEd Europe</a>&nbsp;by 22 March and Save €300.</p> <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/teched/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:b2ddb3c24710412b8065a181017d6f39">]]></description>
