So I tried to take a practice test for the 70-486 the bank one questions were asking questions that will be covered in 70-487. So of course I aborted the practice test and just going to schedule the exam and hone in on the exam objectives on the official Microsoft page. but this prompted me to think Maybe instead of taking the video training for 70-486 to take the training at the same time for 70-487 and then take the exams. For certifications with like 2 parts would this be the best strategy?
For exams with 3+ exams for the cert this obviously would not be feasible.

So this needs to point back to the AD FS server
Host (A) Target: For example, sts.contoso.com

This is the 2nd time I've tried to setup AD FS after watching the training and internally within my network it just says transferring to your organization page and just hangs there.
I went back through the entire AD FS section took detail notes and I can't figure out what's wrong. My Relay Trust is not setup and I think I'm missing a DNS setting on my domain. Please assist.

Okay so its really not free but if you create a "new" azure account you get $200 of credit.
I've completed the Office 365 course on ITPro and always had the idea of creating a lab environment in Windows Azure and had no idea how I would actually do that, it turns out Microsoft's have guides on how to setup the infamous consoto.com environments via powershell on Azure.
Don't be afraid of powershell because you can simply fill in the "Brown" (Jesus words) and copy & paste your way through it. I'm sure someone will find this helpful.

So I stumbled across the VLAbs after finally seeing the "Expand All" link at the top of the course; Some how I missed the information about practice exams that was hidden under "overview" that section should exposed by default when starting a new course (suggestion).
I was able to launch the V-Lab but it only had Server 2008 (or 2012) and Windows 7 no Windows 8 desktop. I tried using RDP to connect to the IP address in the screen capture but nothing, am I missing something?
