Mike,
We're glad you like the training, please tell your friends about us too! *wink, nudge...shameless*
There is no official document or PDF that you can get from Microsoft with the exam objectives. But, you can see the incredibly vague exam objectives that Microsoft calls "skills measured...including but not limited to...". I normally just do a google search for Exam 70-688 or Exam 70-410, etc. and usually the first link after the google advertisement is the link to the official details about the exam and those "objectives."
Also we try to show that very page during our show intro for each exam show and describe what we will be covering in the episodes to help cover those measure skills!

Nevermind unless there is something that should be added. Later in the show at 20min mark the Trusted Location GPO was shown how to set.

Mike,
I just did a quick search on google and I don't see a direct feature by feature comparison.
There are some significant improvements in HyperV and the Windows Networking you may want to see.
Another improvement would be the update to PowerShell 4.0.
Most visibly, it would be the consumer requested UI additions.
Management wise, it would be the ease of converting to and from ServerCore editions.
The biggest change is probably it's design to be ready for cloud integration.
This is just a few of changes you would find with R2 version but there over 300 new additional features according
to multiple articles that I've scanned.

also granular ways to use MSOCache, ProgramData, just all the odd folders and options.

James,
Great to know that you found the answer. Remember that as you restore the backup, the AD will backfill the restored so as to bring it up to date.

Mike,
We're in the process of moving to a new API for our website. This means that we have to also re upload all our shows and note through it too. That is number 1 on Nate "Mr. Fantastic" list. We're hoping to be done by Thursday with notes and all. We apologize for the inconvenience but we believe that the site upgrade will improve our site for our subscribers' experience tremendously. So it should be done this coming week. The notes will start trickling in as they're entered during the days next week.

Jonathan,
The goal of Work Folder is to take your existing file servers infrastructure and user file synchronize and extend it to any and all devices you might need to access those files. This allows users to have synchronized work data across all devices, including devices that are not within the security boundary of the domain.
The last scenario may happen because of tablets are smartphones that do not have the capability to join the domain or do not need to be joined to domain.
Using a VPN works but requires more configuration and may give access to more than the work data needed.
Others may want to provide a scenario to help us to understand why you may choose to implement work folders!

Hi - I see the time blocks per session when I click on View Resources, as of today 10 Jan 2015.
With the new web page/interface, all my personal information has got reset and all courses marked as "Completed" have also got reset - Not Complaining, just commenting :-)
Also for anyone needing to login from an Andr0id device, please note that it worked for me after downloading and installing the "BOAT" browser from Google Play Store.

That was extremely helpful. Thank you much.

Hey Don
Thanks for the reply, yeah i tried to add it with the first domains administrator who is in the ent admins group, and i even tried to take both servers firewall offline but still no dice.
I will have a look now at the DNS settings and let you know the results.
Thanks
Matt

The show notes for 413 have been posted. Enjoy!

No problem. Thanks for the info. I think I'll just work towards Net+ right now. BTW looking forward to the upcoming Apple classes...

I would like to echo the thoughts of many in this thread that a concise list of PowerShell commands to study for the exam would be very helpful. Even if you cannot teach a whole class on it, just a list of the commands across each of the 70-4xx courses would make it a lot easier to study for the exams.

Scott,
I don't think we have an episode that specifically covers the authentication side. There was a 70-411 episode where we discussed modifying the SPNs of servers to facilitate migrating a file server but, if memory serves me, I don't think we discussed the Kerberos lookup process for SPNs or the authentication process when multiple SPNs are involved. HEre is the link to that episode:
http://itpro.tv/topic/episode-managing-active-directory/
Take a look at that episode and let me know if it covers what you need. If it doesn't, let me know what it is missing and I'll make sure we cover it for you.
Thanks for watching,

Matt,
I think that is a great suggestion. I used to teach a SQL troubleshooting class back in the day, and it was always a lot of fun. Our schedule is fairly full through January, but I'll see if we can't squeeze in a few SQL shows to add more Activity Monitor / Profiler / Trace content.
Thanks for watching,
Don Pezet

Great reply, thank you very much!

Todd,
First off, thanks for the compliment. We'll have to do an ITProTV swimsuit edition some day :)
Now on to business. I usually recommend people watch all three shows for the exact reason you mentioned. There is a decent bit of overlap, and the more exposure you get to the technologies the better your understanding will be. However, be careful to double back and review your 70-410 notes (or even watch the shows again) after you have finished the three shows because you can start to forget some of the details in the content that are going to be directly questioned on the 410 exam.
Best of luck, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Sorry about that. I've added an errata to the notes section for that episode.

That's correct. It is an extra layer of flexibility when applying GPOs. You could even go a step further and add in WMI Filtering which allows you to apply GPOs based on other criteria (available disk space, computer name, OS version, etc). You can get really complex with it if you want, but most people stop with security filtering.
