MVA "Office Hours" - Windows Server & Client

Q&A session featuring Joey Snow and Rick Claus

The Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) team is hosting a live online discussion designed to enable experienced IT Pros to ask technical questions regarding Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8. This exclusive session will feature two of Microsoft’s most popular personalities from "The Edge Show"—Senior Technical Evangelists, Joey Snow and Rick Claus—engaging in dialog, debate and demos shaped by a global audience of esteemed IT Pros.

During the popular Jump Start series of live online training events, we notice some of the most valuable learning takes place in the chat-based Q&A going on behind-the-scenes. We see key technologies that are underrated, confusing, or poorly understood and recognize how beneficial audience-led discussion can be to the larger group. During this interactive session, we’ll focus exclusively on helping you better understand how valuable features interrelate to save you time and money.
