16. Microsoft Learning Azure Pass (OPTIONAL)
• You will use the Microsoft Learning Azure Pass to provide access to
Microsoft Azure for demonstrations and labs
• Microsoft Learning Azure Pass access and configuration
• Best Practices for Microsoft Learning Azure Pass Usage:
• Check the dollar balance of you Azure Pass within Microsoft Azure once you
have set up your subscription, and be aware of how much you are
consuming as you proceed through the labs.
• Do not allow Microsoft Azure components to run overnight or for extended
periods unless you need to do so.
• Remove any Microsoft Azure–created components or services such as
storage, virtual machines, or cloud services, after you finish your lab to help
minimize cost usage and extend the life of your Microsoft Learning Azure
Pass.
17. WARNING – You May Experience UI Discrepancies
(OPTIONAL)
Given the dynamic nature of Microsoft cloud tools, you
may experience Microsoft Office 365 and/or Azure user
interface (UI) changes that were made following
courseware development and that do not match up
with lab instructions.
The Microsoft Learning team will document these
changes for instructors as they are brought to our
attention. However, given the dynamic nature of cloud
updates, you may run into changes before we become
aware of them.
If this occurs, you will have to adapt to the changes and
work through them in the labs as necessary.
18. In this demonstration, you will learn how to:
• Access the MLO lab environment
• Switch between VMs
Read the online Lab Notes carefully, because some procedures
related to on-premises lab versus online labs may have slightly
different steps. Any differences will be called out in the Lab Notes.
Demonstration: Using Microsoft Labs Online (OPTIONAL)
19. Demonstration: Using Hyper-V Manager (OPTIONAL)
In this demonstration, you will learn how to:

Preparation Tasks
To prepare for this course, you must follow and complete the tasks that the Trainer Preparation Guide outlines.
Presentation: 30 minutes
Welcome students to the course and introduce yourself. Provide a brief overview of your background to establish credibility.
Ask students to introduce themselves and provide their backgrounds, product experience, and expectations for the course.
Record student expectations on a whiteboard or flip chart that you can reference during class.
Explain class and facility logistics, using the bulleted list. Inform students about any emergency procedures, such as emergency exits, and plans in the event of fire or other emergencies.
Describe the audience for this course. This is an opportunity for you to identify students who may not have the appropriate background or experience to attend the course.
Describe the course prerequisites.
<< Use this slide for printed courseware. Use next slide for digital courseware. >>
This first release A MOC version has been developed on release to manufacturing (RTM) software. Microsoft will release a B version of this course with enhanced PowerPoint slides and Course Companion content on the Microsoft Learning website.
Introduce the students to their course materials.
Explain how you intend for students to use the Course Handbook in the class and the Digital Companion Content outside the class:
Explain that students can refer to the Course Handbook during the lecture because it contains all of the critical technical information that they need in a crisp, tightly-focused format, which is suited for effective in-class learning experience.
Mention that the Digital Companion Content on the http://www.microsoft.com/learning/companionmoc website will be available when the next edition of the course is released. The Digital Companion Content supplements the Course Handbook, and provides an opportunity for extended self-directed learning beyond the classroom.
<<Use this slide for digital courseware. Use previous slide for printed courseware.>>
This first release A MOC version of this has been developed on release to manufacturing (RTM) software. Microsoft will release a B version of this course with enhanced PowerPoint slides, and Course Companion content on the Microsoft Learning website.
Introduce the students to their course materials.
You should take the opportunity to make sure that all students can sign in and access their content. In addition, demonstrate some of the features and functionality.
You also can mention that the courseware is updated over time. Their content will also be updated so they always have the latest, most technically up-to-date content, and they will not lose any comments, notes, or highlights they have made.
Mention to the students that this course is not associated with any Microsoft certification path.
Tell students whether the course labs will be run as on‑premises local labs, or as Microsoft Labs Online (MLO) hosted labs.
On‑premises labs are run on the local host machines in Hyper‑V.
MLO labs are accessed on the local host machines via a web browser, similar to the VMs that are running on a hosted platform and accessed via a browser.
This course will use the following virtual machines:
20778B-MIA-DC1
20778B-MIA-SQL
MSL-TMG1
You should request the Microsoft Learning Azure Passes at least two weeks before the class begins. Details of how to acquire Microsoft Learning Azure passes for your class are available at http://aka.ms/mocazurepass.
All students should have already received an Azure passcode, and activated their Microsoft Learning Azure Passes prior to the start of class. If students have not activated their Microsoft Learning Azure Pass ahead of class, have them do so now by following the steps outlined at http://www.microsoftazurepass.com/learning.
The use of the publicly available trial subscriptions or other types of passes, such as MSDN, is possible with the course labs. However the labs have not been tested with every available pass type, so variations in functionality, while unlikely, are possible due to potential Azure subscription limitations.
Be sure to point out to students that the scripts used in the labs will also delete any existing services or components present in Microsoft Azure under the subscription that you use. As such, the use of the Microsoft Learning Azure Pass will provide a level of standardization in addition to helping prevent any inadvertent removal or interference with existing Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
Best Practice details are included to remind students to manage their pass dollar usage so it does not run out prior to them completing the labs. The intention is not to be restrictive on students use of Microsoft Azure, so you should encourage exploring and using elements within Microsoft Azure; however, they do need to be conscious that the pass does not expire prior to the course completion or they may not be able to complete the labs.
You may need to tweak the wording on the slide to suit your particular course, for example: Office 365, or Azure.
<< Use this slide for MLO. Use next slide for on-premises local labs. >>
<< Delete the slide that you are not using.>>
You should take this opportunity to show students the lab environment.
Take a moment to sign in and describe the lab environment to the students. Be sure to point out the online Lab Notes document, which contains details of any changes to the lab steps.
In addition, there is an optional Navigation in the Windows Server 2012 demonstration (on the last slide), which is relevant if you are using MLO.
<< Use this slide for on-premises local labs. Use previous slide for MLO.>>
<< Delete the slide that you are not using.>>
