If you are a TechNet Plus subscriber, you should have received an email yesterday or today letting you know about a great offer that Microsoft is putting out with regards to Server Virtualization.

Your TechNet Plus subscription will get you a code for the Microsoft E-Learning Collection 6319: Configuring Hyper-V in Windows 2008. Once you go through this course, take a screenshot of your completed status and email that to [email protected]. If you are one of the first 200 people to do so, you will get a free exam voucher for 70-652: TS Windows Server Virtualization, Configuring.

I am kicking myself a little bit; I used one of my own vouchers I had to book the 70-652 exam in April after I complete my upcoming course. (I booked two exams actually) I literally just posted about this yesterday, it was the post about my Hyper-V training I am taking in Ottawa. I have luck like that sometimes but then sometimes I get lucky, so I guess it evens out.

Just to recap:

Complete the E-Learning
Take a snapshot of the course completed and email it to Microsoft
Receive a free exam voucher
