I really enjoyed doing this and it ended up being 50 minutes because there are so many things to talk about in Windows Server 2012. It took 10 hours to just render the video for 480p so it is not HD quality. However, it has great content. I have also created a One Note note book that supplements it which has all the top tips and links to resources. This is accessible here:
