Freaked out about Deployment of Win 7 and where to start?

  • Article

My good Friend Jeff Alexander over on the other side of the world down under (he’s THE infrastructure evangelist for Australia) posted up this nifty link and tool. It’s part of the big glob of stuff called Springboard, whenever something cool and useful bubbles up I want to make sure you know about it.

Visit the Windows 7 Deployment Learning Portal

It really comes down to “How do I know – what I don’t know?”

You test yourself to find your blind spots – that’s how.

You can register to take an assessment test on one of a number of modules on which you will be tested with “exam style” questions. Based on your score, you will pass or fail but the MOST VALUABLE piece of this are the specific resources they point you to in order to strengthen your weaknesses.

There are 11 modules broken down into 5 categories.

  1. Preparing your Deployment
  2. Configuring an Image
  3. Migration
  4. Compatibility Testing
  5. Deployment Methods

Don’t be put off by the registration process. It’s designed to give you more value by tracking your progress and targeting the correct resources to you after the test. I’ve gone through a couple of the modules – not bad stuff!

Take a moment of your time and check it out – GREAT RESOURCE!
