1 Trainer Preparation Guide for Course 20465D: Designing a Data Solution with Microsoft SQL Server Trainer Preparation Guide for Course 20465D: Designing a Data Solution with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Design of the Course The focus of this five-day instructor-led course is on planning and implementing database solutions by using SQL Server It describes how to consolidate SQL Server workloads, work with on-premises solutions, and how to plan and implement high availability and disaster recovery solutions. The course builds on the concepts and skills taught in course 20462D: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Databases, which focuses on the database maintenance tasks a database administrator (DBA) must perform when managing databases on a single SQL Server instance. This course expands the responsibilities of the DBA to include management of multiple server instances and cloud-based database infrastructure. Required Materials to Teach This To teach this course, you need the following materials: Course Handbook. Course Companion Content on the site. Microsoft PowerPoint files. Microsoft Virtual Server Classroom Setup Guide. Course virtual machines. List any other additional materials required. Important: It is recommended that you use PowerPoint 2003 or later to display the slides for this course. If you use PowerPoint Viewer or an earlier version of PowerPoint, all the features of the slides might not be displayed correctly. Prerequisite Knowledge to Teach This Course To present this course, you must have: Strong SQL Server skills, including Transact-SQL programming and database development and administration. Experience of managing databases in SQL Server 2014, including all of the skills taught in course 20462D: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Databases. Experience of managing multiple SQL Server instances, and of implementing high-availability solutions including clustering, AlwaysOn Availability Groups, and log shipping. Knowledge of private cloud architectures based on Windows Hyper-V technologies.

3 Trainer Preparation Guide for Course 20465D: Designing a Data Solution with Microsoft SQL Server Familiarize yourself with the Course Handbook and the Course Companion Content on the site. Make note of when to direct students' attention to the Course Companion Content for further learning support. More information pertaining to the course components is present in the Introduction slide deck. Practice presenting each module. Identify the key points and must-know information for each topic. Perform each demonstration and hands-on lab. Anticipate the questions that students might have. Identify examples, analogies, impromptu demonstrations, and additional delivery tips that will help to clarify module content and provide a more meaningful learning experience for your specific audience. Note any problems that you might encounter during a demonstration or a lab exercise, and determine a course of action for how you will resolve the problems in the classroom. To access the lab answer keys, refer to the appendix in the Course Handbook. Work through the Module Review and Takeaways section at the end of each module and determine how you will use this section to reinforce student learning and promote knowledge transfer to onthe-job performance. Customize and enhance your instructor notes. Consult the MCT newsgroup for additional tips and strategies posted by your fellow MCTs for teaching the product. Review the updated information about the Microsoft Certification Program on the Microsoft Learning Certifications Web site. Instructor Computer Setup Set up the instructor computer by following the setup instructions in the Microsoft Virtual Server Classroom Setup Guide document. This document provides hardware requirements for the instructor computer in addition to detailed setup instructions. Note: The virtual machines for this course are un-activated with a grace period of 10 days. After this grace period, the virtual machines may shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity. It is particularly likely that the MIA-DC domain controller will shut down unnoticed by students, which may lead to unexpected errors during labs. If you are teaching the course with virtual machines that have been started more than 10 days previously, consider reverting all virtual machines to the snapshot that was created after the virtual machines were imported into the Hyper-V host, started, and rearmed during classroom setup. This will reset the grace period.
