\"image\"<\/a>Windows Server 2012 (formerly known as Windows Server \u201c8\u201d) is nearing completing.  With a \u201cRelease Preview\u201d set to be available in early June, it\u2019s a great time to bet familiar with the extremely long list of new features in Microsoft\u2019s latest server platform.  <\/p>\n

To help IT pros learn from those that have experience with the new features, Microsoft, Dell, HP, and the Global IT Community Association (GITCA<\/a>) are sponsoring the Windows Server 2012 Community Roadshow<\/a>.  These events will be covering many areas throughout the U.S. and internationally and presentations will be made by local\/regional Microsoft MVPs.  I\u2019ll be presenting in Austin, TX<\/strong> on Tuesday, May 29th, 2012<\/strong> from 1:00pm to 5:00pm (location details coming soon).  Visit the event web site to find a location near you (dates and locations are still being added), and be sure to register if you plan to attend.  Here\u2019s a brief overview of the topics that will be covered:<\/p>\n

As an aside, I recently returned from the TEC 2012 conference in San Diego, where I gave two presentations on just the storage features in Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V 3.0.  That alone was a lot of information to cram into just a couple of hours.  This no small release, and there\u2019s a lot to learn.  I hope readers of this blog are able to make it to either the Austin event or one of the many other locations which will be added soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
