      What’s Included with the Book

      This book includes many helpful items intended to prepare you for the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 certification. These items include:

      Assessment Test There is an Assessment Test at the conclusion of the introduction that can be used to evaluate quickly where you are with Windows Server 2012 R2. This test should be taken prior to beginning your work in this book, and it should help you identify areas in which you are either strong or weak. Note that these questions are purposely simpler than the types of questions you may see on the exams.

      Objective Map and Opening List of Objectives Later in this introduction, you will find a detailed exam objective map showing you where each of the exam objectives is covered. Each chapter also includes a list of the exam objectives covered.

      Helpful Exercises Throughout the book are step-by-step exercises of some of the more important tasks that you should be able to perform. Some of these exercises have corresponding videos that can be downloaded from the book’s website. Also, the following section has a recommended home lab setup that will be helpful in completing these tasks.

      Exam Essentials The end of each chapter also includes a listing of exam essentials. These are essentially repeats of the objectives, but remember that any objective on the exam blueprint could show up on the exam.

      Chapter Review Questions Each chapter includes review questions. These are used to assess your understanding of the chapter and are taken directly from the chapter. These questions are based on the exam objectives, and they are similar in difficulty to items you might actually receive on the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 exams.

       You can obtain the Interactive Online Learning Environment, flashcards, videos, and glossary at www.sybex.com/go/mcsawin2012r2.

      Interactive Online Learning Environment You can access the Interactive Online Learning Environment, which includes the assessment test and chapter review questions. In addition, there are a total of three practice exams included with the Interactive Online Learning Environment: one each for exams 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412.

      Flashcards Flashcards are included for quick reference. They are a great tool for learning important facts quickly. You may even consider these as additional simple practice questions, which is essentially what they are.

      Videos Some of the exercises include corresponding videos. These videos show you how we do the exercises. There is also a video that shows you how to set up virtualization so that you can complete the exercises within a virtualized environment. This same video also shows you how to install Windows Server 2012 Datacenter on that virtualized machine.

      PDF of Glossary of Terms There is a glossary included that covers the key terms used in this book.

      Recommended Home Lab Setup

      To get the most out of this book, you will want to make sure you complete the exercises throughout the chapters. To complete the exercises, you will need one of two setups. First, you can set up a machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 and complete the labs using a regular Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.

      The second way to set up Windows Server 2012 R2 (the way we set up Server 2012 R2) is by using virtualization. We set up Windows Server 2012 R2 as a virtual hard disk (VHD), and we did all the labs this way. The advantages of using virtualization are that you can always just wipe out the system and start over without losing a real server. Plus, you can set up multiple virtual servers and create a full lab environment on one machine.

      We created a video for this book showing you how to set up a virtual machine and how to install Windows Server 2012 R2 onto that virtual machine.
