Roundup of Online Resources for Windows Multipoint Server 2012

  • Article

There has been a lot of activity and questions around WMS 2012, so now seems like a good time to do a summary of the many online resources available.

Website - www.microsoft.com/multipoint has been refreshed for WMS 2012, highlighting new scenarios such as orchestrating Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs.

Download – aka.ms/WMS2012Eval has a 180 day trial version of WMS 2012 Premium that can be converted to perpetual product with a purchased Volume Licensing key.

Update Rollup 1 – is available for download at aka.ms/WMS2012UR1.

Zero Client drivers – evaluation drivers for USB and USB-over-Ethernet connected devices are at aka.ms/WMS2012Drivers .

Videos – www.youtube.com/msmultipoint has been updated with 5 new feature demos:

  • MultiPoint Manager
  • MultiPoint Dashboard
  • Disk Protection
  • Virtual Desktops
  • Deployment Options

Or play all five as a playlist!

For a deeper dive there is a 60-minute presentation by our own Clark Nicholson at https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2012/WSV202

This blog – www.aka.ms/WMSBlog has a number of how-to WMS 2012 feature posts:

The WMS 2012 Planning Guide has been published here (now updated with all WMS languages) and the 2012 Deployment Guide will be published in March 2013 at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=278910   

Our product support site does not yet reference WMS 2012 explicitly, but all the information there is equally relevant to WMS 2012.

You can find answers to most questions in the 400+ threads on the WMS Forum

Enjoy!

    It means that no one can actually try the 2012 version, even if we've bought and got the license already.

    Tran:  We have verified that installations done from the Microsoft Download Center properly prompt for product key.

    Both the Evaluation version and the production version (in VLSC) we've downloaded have NO PROMPT for PRODUCT KEY input.  Hope this can be fixed soon.Thanks.
