Hello, I’ve downloaded the guide and wanted to do teh hands on labs. However, I could not find any details on how to cnnect to the virtual machines that are mentioned in the documentation. should we setup those VMs locally or are they online for us to login directly? If so what is the URL?
Thanks,
Madura.
Madhura actually we don’t required VM as such for Lab.
These VM we have to set in our one Dev/Local environment !!
But you can directly practice this script on your own SQL Server Denali ..Hope you have installed SQL Server Denali dear !!
Enjoy !! recently i have posted on few more features as well if possible look into those as well Madhura !
