Quick Start from Nothing to SCVMM

So I have been chatting to more and more people around System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and this product is great! Compared to other virtualization management tools that I have used in the past (prior to myself joining MS) this product really stands up and stands proud! If you have not played with SCVMM it is soooo simple and sooooooo easy to get up and running and communicating to your virtualized estate. I strongly recommend you all to give it a try.

 

Anyway so whilst reading some of the techcenter articles I came across these for SCVMM. There is a range of how to video's that are here to set you on your way and get you going! Click on one of the links below and start getting SCVMM underway.......
