TechNet Virtual Labs have been Migrated to the Azure platform?
It seems the TechNet virtual labs have been migrated to the Azure platform. It is pretty clear that virtual labs have been migrated to Azure Cloud Apps from the jump host server detail.
The new virtual LABs platform requires Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client. This will work on Mac OS machines when you have an RDP client on those devices.

But I couldn’t find any communication or announcement from Microsoft on this topic. I have two previous posts with information about SCCM and Intune TechNet virtual labs.
- List of TechNet Virtual Labs for SCCM ConfigMgr 2012 R2 and Intune
- SCCM ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 List of Virtual Labs Training
There were 36 hands-on labs available for SCCM and Intune. But none of these hands-on labs are accessible at the moment. I could see only Microsoft Excel hands-on lab in the TechNet virtual lab portal.
Microsoft moved TechNet Labs http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/virtuallabs to a new hosting solution or Azure called Microsoft Self-Paced Labs. More details about Self paced labs are here – https://www.microsoft.com/handsonlabs/SelfPacedLabs.
Advantages of Microsoft Self Paced Hands-on labs
Microsoft technologies are getting changed frequently. The IT pros struggle to get their private labs updated at the same pace as Microsoft is releasing new features.
Microsoft self-paced labs (
Free SCCM Virtual Labs) can help IT Pros to get hands-on experience with new features of technologies.
There are only 289 Self-paced Labs available as of 08-Jan-2017.
The migration to Azure CloudApps is suitable for IT admins to help to learn new technologies in an agile method. There is no browser and OS dependency on the new platform.
These SCCM Intune Windows 10 Hands-On Labs training will run on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Mac-OS, etc.
Microsoft Azure, Intune, SCCM, etc., hands-on labs (Free SCCM Virtual Labs) are readily available for IT pros to get the experience.
Microsoft self-paced hands-on labs enable IT Pros to experience a software product or technology using a cloud-based private virtual environment.
IT Pros or SCCM admins will be presented with a series of instructions, and access to one or more SCCM, SQL virtual servers, with no additional software or setup required. We need to complete these instructions within 120 minutes or less.
Enjoy hands-on learning depending on your schedule with Microsoft’s free, Self-paced Labs. This will surely help to keep your cloud knowledge fresh.

SCCM Intune and Windows 10 Virtual Labs
Following are the links to get access to Hands-on virtual labs. There are only 5 Self-paced Labs for SCCM. As I explained in the video tutorial here, you need to download the RDP file into your machine.
Once the RDP file is downloaded, launch the file to connect to the Jump host server in the Azure cloud. This jump host server will have all the instructions and details to complete the hands-on training activities.
These guidelines could vary depending on technology like Intune, SCCM, Azure, or Windows 10.
