NO EXCHANGE LAB.. thx for nothing.
I click here https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/virtuallabs?id=eazbhvo0sq0 on "Get Started".. wrong link, i hope..
11-29-2016 04:22 PM
Hi Vignesh - all relevant and up-to-date guides were moved over to this community. Are there specific guides you're looking for?
11-30-2016 09:25 AM
Solution@Vignesh S, we moved all relevant labs from the http://guides.officeignite.com site to Tech Community. We did not transfer over outdated labs (Lync labs for example). My goal was to confirm community interest in this type of learning to determine if we invest in this type of learning moving forward. So fare we have seen tremendous interest so we are absolutely planning on investing in more of this type of training. Thanks for your feedback and stay tuned for more guides!
12-01-2016 01:08 PM
Thanks for the feedback @Dirk Hülsekopf. The link you provided is to the Technet Virtual lab inventory that a variety of full/VM hosted labs. The Online Interactive Guides that are linked on this page are click-through demo labs (not an actual virtualized environment. You are correct that we do not have any Online Interactive Guides on Exchange, however if there is enough interest, we certainly can build a few. What types of Exchange guides would you like to see? A "how to" on configuring an Exchange Hybrid environment? Best practices on administering Exchange Online in the Admin Center? Migration/Deployment focused? Focused on Exchange security and compliance features? Let me know and we will absolutely consider investing in these. Thanks!

When I click on the Virtual Exchange Lab, I end up here. The start lab links to this thread. Seems there are no labs for Exchange (at least the ones I clicked on).
12-04-2016 12:14 AM
Hey Michael,
Regarding the exchange labs, i understand that virtual labs are different from guided expereinces but selecting "Creating a Database Availability Group" lab brings us here, thats what many people mean by NO Exchange labs here.
Also if microsoft could bring back the exchange 2010 labs in virtual labs that would be great too.
Thanks

These are helpful, however, they typically make some assumptions about licensing, configuration and security roles that are not fully explained. It would be more helpful, if there was some type of supporting documentation that would explain why we may not see the exact same screens. For example, my Security and Compliance Center does not have a Security Policies heading like the Using MDM video demonstates. I am going to have to spend some time doing some research to understand why mine is different.
12-09-2016 03:28 PM
12-12-2016 12:55 PM
Good point. We only have the E3 license, but a lot of the security information is on features that you only get with and E5 plan.
12-12-2016 09:10 PM - edited 12-12-2016 09:13 PM
Hi Dean,
they all were functionality demonstration guides, the guides were simply a superb Top view solution flow of each individual products line. For sure, no where they addressed any thing relataed to pricing/Licencing.
I wonder what concerns you all had .
Thanks for nothing.
12-13-2016 07:57 AM
Thanks for the feedback @Kelvin Kirby. We will get the Project Online Guide added today.
12-13-2016 09:00 AM
Hi @Kelvin Kirby, we have added the Guide for Project Online.

What happened to Performing eDiscovery Using SharePoint? The previous link was http://guides.officeignite.com/Guides/Performing%20eDiscovery%20Using%20SharePoint.htm. We used this as a training video for Microsoft O365 Frontline support engineers so they would be familiar with the procedure even though they don't support it.
12-14-2016 02:09 PM
Hi Kathy, we moved all relevant content over to this community. I'm adding @Michael Kophs so he's aware of your feedback regarding the Performing eDiscovery Using SharePoint Guide.
12-15-2016 05:21 AM
Office Guides: SharePoint Online Overview for IT Pros sends people here for the interactive course but there is nothing about SharePoint here. Very disappointed.
12-15-2016 09:54 AM
Hi Sandra, thanks for your feedback. We moved all relevant and updated guides/labs over to this community. I'm adding @Michael Kophs so he is aware of your request for the SharePoint Online Overview for IT Pros Guide.
12-16-2016 11:44 AM
Thank you for the feedback @Sandra V. We are in the process of creating new SharePoint Online Guides that represent that latest available SharePoint offerings. We only carried over the Online Guides from the previous site that were still relevant, removing the guides that were outdated and in need of updating (the SharePoint guides fell into this category unfortunatley). Please stay tuned for a new wave of Online Guides that will include SharePoint.

Hi I am specifically looking for these guides,
It can be really inefficient when links are changed.
The orgiginla links were as follows. (not I changed them to hxxs to satisft the forms checking)
Performing an In-Place eDiscovery and Hold in Exchange Online.
Note: there is also eDiscovery for SharePoint Online.
01-02-2017 04:16 PM
Hi Quentin,
eDiscovery and Hold is now mostly being done in the Security and Compliance Center instead of in the Exchange and SharePoint admin centers. I can't say for sure, but I suspect this is why the old Ignite labs were pulled.
You might check out this Office video:
Getting started with eDiscovery case management in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1A466XvwN4&feature=youtu.be
It's just a short four-minute video, but it does a pretty good job walking through the steps necessary to set up eDiscovery.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi,
Please add the old labs (Exchange & Office 365 Guides). They were really helpful.
Regards,
Rahul Kumaar
01-05-2017 08:41 AM
Thanks for the feedback @Rahul Kumaar. We are in the process of bringing back all old guides. We are also in the process of refreshing these guides as to reflect the latest product/service offerings, but will post the old guides until the new ones are ready. Stay tuned!

Such helpful guides. Thank You
01-11-2017 01:50 PM
Good stuff @Maddie Egan. I like these interactive guides.
Anything to help the end user actually interact with the environment and get comfortable with it is the way to to for better user adoption. Keep up the good work!
01-26-2017 01:43 PM
Hi @Mohamad Simawy - we have added back some of the previously retired guides on this post.
01-27-2017 01:15 AM
Hello Maddie,
Thank you for bringing the retired guides back.
The migraton guides are a big help.
02-06-2017 09:25 AM
I'm unable to access the information for O365 groups. I just get a dark grey screen...have tried accessing in both IE and Chrome.
03-06-2017 09:32 AM
Michael and Maddie,
Please restore the Office Guides: SharePoint Online Overview for IT Pros guide until the new guide(s) are available. Why take away what you currently have when the new content isn't ready yet? That makes no sense. I was looking forward to the guide, now I join @Sandra V and just have disappointment (again) in Microsoft.
03-17-2017 09:22 AM
The Lync Labs would have been extemely useful as the deployment is largely identical to Skype For Business. Please can you make these available again for those studying for the 70-333 and 70-334 exams.
03-22-2017 01:42 PM - edited 03-22-2017 01:43 PM
When we are able to see the technet labs for lync and skpe for business again. It is redirecting me to the technet community page which makes no sense. Can you please let me where I can find the labs
03-27-2017 08:19 AM
Hi Maddie,
Is there a specific site I can have our SharePoint Learning site point to so that our staff can use the interactive guides? I don't want to copy each link and manage it.
Dave

Hi Dave,
1-Create a Wiki Page and there you copy paste all the required links.
Rename that wiki page and share with teams,
2- Only If Office 365 , then can use sway to create a dedicated media WALL like Facebook
let me know if it helps

I was looking for a guide to setting up Federated Services. Any chance you could spin it back up or recommend a third party who might have a good hands on lab? I was looking for a third party when I stumbled across the technet site that led me here. I'm not going to lie. It was a huge let-down seeing all those labs on the technet page and finding out that most of them aren't available anymore.
