Microsoft invites you to an exclusive training opportunity:
Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Virtual Hands-On Lab

• Installing and Using Office Communicator 2007 R2 and the Office Communicator 2007 R2 Attendant: Now that you have installed Office Communications Server 2007 R2 in your environment, you want to deploy Office Communicator 2007 R2 to your users. You will now install Office Communicator 2007 R2, configure the clients, add contacts, and then see some of the new features of Office Communicator 2007 R2, including call delegation, team calls and application sharing. This exercise will require three separate end-points. You will use OCS-CWA as a client with Hao Chen as the logged in user, OCS-GCF as a client with Garrett Young signed in, and also use your host computer, with Vivian Atlas signed in.

What is a virtual hands-on-lab:
This isn’t your typical IT class. A hands-on lab online is an invite only event that combines LiveMeeting with a virtual lab. Attendees and presenters login from anywhere. Attendees watch a brief LiveMeeting presentation, then spend most of the time getting hands-on experience working through all, or just self-selected modules of the entire lab – at their own pace, and receive real–time, personal, one-on-one attention from the presenter. In addition, there’s a proctor available for technical support and to answer more attendee questions.
