My problem is most of the instructors don't actually deal with the software on a daily real world basis so their knowledge above and beyond the course material is usually limited. Those that can, do - those that can't, teach!

I have used the one in Orlando a couple of times for some training. They appeared to know their stuff but then I knew about half of what they were teaching at the time. I would think it would depend on how the individual office worked. That one seemed to require the instructor to know the product they were teaching but then who really knows. With this economy they maybe hiring some pretty good people now that so many good people are out of work.

I remember when I was in school, they would come and recruit new instructors from our classes. The guys that went came back saying they'd be handed an instructor's manual just before the class and told "you're teaching this today... good luck" We have a training facility here, IS Inc., that does great training, but they may be local, not nationwide. >>> John Cook <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 3/10/2010 8:59 AM >>> >>> Our local New Horizons just started offering a series on Server Virtualization covering all the main flavors. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 11:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Virtual Server Training? What training would you consider 'recommended' for a server admin going into virtual servers for the first time? We have used Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 before, but did not care for the setup. We are currently looking at a recommendation from Dell which covers two server host boxes, one storage box and one management switch. I currently manage about 20 physical servers, so what I would need would be specific to the differences to virtual servers rather than physical servers. All I need to do is add a line item for "training costs" and go for funding options! How much do you think training for virtual environments could be worth? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
