Course outline
| A
common question I get about this VMware Server & Workstation
training course is which version of VMware Server is covered. This
course covers VMware Server 1.x, not the recently released 2.x. While
there is a ton of valuable virtualization knowledge packed into this
course, if you are trying to mirror the tasks in this course in VMware
Server 2.x, the interface will look different. Still, the tasks that
you would perform are the same and the course comes with a 90 day money
back guarantee so if you receive the course and, if after watching it,
you aren't satisfied, the course can be returned and you can receive
your money back. I also encourage you to consider my TrainSignal VMware ESX Server training course. ESXi is now a free product from VMware and is a much better performing virtualization hypervisor than VMware Server. My ESX Server training course will teach you how to download, install, and administer VMware's ESX, ESXi, and the entire Virtual Center Suite.
