While Playing around with the UCP inside of SQL 2008 R2 I found some videos to help you get started. The November CTP has six videos listed but only five of the links are currently working.
Here is the splash screen you will see to help you get started:
The link to “Enroll instances…” does not seem to be working. The other five are working just fine. Since I am not able to play the videos directly from my server, so I had to save the files to a network share and then play them from my desktop.
Here are the actual links:
Create a Utility Control Point (UCP)
Create a data-tier application
Now, maybe it is just me, but I think there is some inconsistencies with the use of capitalization. But this is only a CTP, so I will refrain from filing a Connect item for now. But I may file one for the broken link.
The videos are hosted by Buck Woody (blog | @buckwoody), who is all business. I kept hoping to start making a list of people or things but he was professional throughout. In other words, the videos have little entertainment value, but are a wonderful resource to help you get started using UCP.
