Change Log for 20410C: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 2
Purpose of this documentThe purpose of this document is to detail any changes that have been made to the course during its
lifetime.
It is intended that this information be used by any party who has an interest or need to understand the
changes that have been made to the course.
This is not an Error Log or a supplement to the Course Materials. This is purely meant to provide
additional detaisl and context for changes made to a course over its lifetime.
What you can expect in this document
There are two types of course changes that you will encounter in this document. You may see one, both
or multiple iterations of both depending on the particular course.
1)
Full Revision:Where the letter associated with a course changes, typically from A to B to C
i.e. 20410A becomes 20410B . This type of change can result in completely new course
structure, new virtual machines, new Labs, new classroom setup requirements and new
content. It could also involve significant design changes.
2)
Incremental Update: This is a limited update and involves changes only to content. i.e. Trainer
and Student manuals, PPTs. This type of change does notinvolve changes to design, virtual
machines, setup or any labs. There will merely be updated editions of trainer and student
manuals and PPT decks but the names of those files will not change in any way.
The changes will be listed in sequence from the first changes made in a course lifetime at the start of the
document to the most recent and latest changes in a course at the end of the document.
This change log captures course changes in the following four main areas; some will be applicable onlyto one update type:
1.
Design (Outline)
2.
Lecture and Lab Content (Handbook, PPT, Lab Answer keys (LAK))
3.
Labs (VMs)
4.
Change Description for Learning Product Spec Changes
The descriptions are intended to be provided at a high-level and not at a detailed level, so that they give
you an overall understanding of the topics that have changed and the reasoning behind the change.
