Product supported Webcasts

Support WebCasts are a free product support information service offered online to all customers. Support WebCasts enable you to tune in and watch live presentations given by Microsoft Support professionals. You can also participate in live question and answer (Q&A) sessions following each presentation.

Typical presentations are 45 to 60 minutes in length. Q&A sessions run from 30 to 60 minutes.

If you are unable to participate in a live session, you can view or listen to an on-demand recording of the session. In addition, the Microsoft PowerPoint slides are available for download, and full session transcripts are posted about three weeks after the live events.

The Q&A portion of the Support WebCasts is intended to encourage further discussion of the topic. Individual support issues are outside the scope of the Support WebCasts. If you need technical assistance, please submit an incident on the Web, or call Microsoft Product Support Services and speak to a support professional.

A number of Small Business Server-specific WebCasts have been produced to help users better understand, deploy, manage and troubleshoot Small Business Server. An archive of presentations is available on the Microsoft Product Support Services Web site at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=8230

You can download or view the presentations on demand. When this paper was written, the following WebCasts were available to download and view on demand:
