Microsoft Learning will release a new five-day course (40 hrs), 6433A: Planning and Implementing Windows Server 2008 Servers, which maps directly to the 70-646: PRO: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator exam. This new title will replace 6430B: Planning for Windows Server 2008 Servers, and will also include appropriate Network Infrastructure and Active Directory elements from 6431A: Managing and Maintaining Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Servers and 6432A: Managing and Maintaining Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Servers.

It’s interesting that this new course will include topics on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Microsoft Learning stated that this new course will include real-world scenarios in the labs. Please note that courses 6430B, 6431A, and 6432A will all retire with the release of the new course 6433A in October 2011.
