Configuration Manager 2012 Course Availability!
2012-06-22 8 Comments
According to MSL Campaign Factory, the two new Configuration Manager courses should start shipping June 29, 2012.
Course 10747a: Administering System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/course.aspx?ID=10747a) – 5 days. What do you need to know to manage and configure Configuration Manager 2012? This is the course you need. This course does not teach you to design and install SCCM hierarchies, it teaches day-to-day Configuration Manager administration skills.
Course 10748a: Deploying System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/course.aspx?id=10748ab) – 3 days. What should your Configuration Manager 2012 hierarchy look like? Do you need a CAS? Do you need multiple primary sites or secondary sites? What’s involved in migrating your existing Configuration Manager 2007 hierarchy to 2012? This is the course you need.
Learning partners should be able to order the courseware by the end of this month. You should be able to sign up for the courses today.
I’ll be teaching these courses in Edmonton in July, and will try to provide some feedback here once they are done. From the looks of the two courses they provide great content and sufficient depth to give you a solid start in your Configuration Manager 2012 environment.

Hi Travis,
The next dates that I’m scheduled to be in Edmonton is at Winding River are the week of October 15, which will be the 6 day accelerated course. You can check with Dawn Terry DawnT@windingriver.ca or Scott Gillespie scottg@windingriver.ca for more details. Since I’m an independent trainer, not staff, the only Edmonton schedule dates I know are those I’m scheduled to teach.

What materials covered in 10747 are required for the materials in 10748? Both me and my boss think Deployment logically comes before Administration. The training facility we are going to use is full on slots for 10747 but I am on the wait list for the course (and have already scheduled 10748 for the week after). The next scheduled time for 10747/10748 is end of December.

While it is beneficial to take 10747 before 10748 Mike, it is probably not a requirement. If you take 10748 before 10747, you might find yourself scrambling with some of the concepts but I don’t expect it would be too bad – especially if you have a background with Configuration Manager 2007 concepts. Ultimately it would be up to the training center to decide if you can take the courses in that order, but as an instructor I would usually not have a problem with it.

Excellent, thanks for the fast response!
I’m fairly familiar with SCCM 2007/MDT/WDS/WSUS/etc as I’ve self-taught myself enough to ‘get-by’ in setting up our current implementation. I’m hoping to learn how to properly do everything and get it set up with 2012!
