    Keith, Thanks for this.  I've been studying along with the Early Experts group to transition my current MCITP to the MCSA Server 2012 (and then on to MCSE: Server Infrastructure hopefully), so this is just what I was hoping for.  I was excited about the times listed on the event page when I went to sign up (it says 9am to 4pm there), until I realized that was PST.  Unfortunately I'm taking some night classes on Tuesday and Wednesday and will probably have to stop watching around 5pm each day.  I know there's probably not much hope of a yes here, but it never hurts to ask: Is there any chance of getting a copy of the live stream (even just the last 2 hours each day) after the event, so I don't miss out on anything?  Thanks again for this opportunity!

    Agree with the others, I'd love to be able to download/view these sessions.   Couldn't make it live due to work. Thanks Mike

    Hi XO, Thanks for your feedback! I'll follow-up with the instructor team and see if we can get recorded copies of the training sessions to share more broadly after the live delivery occurs.  I'll post as soon as they are available. HTH, Keith
