Practice on Windows Server 2012 R2?

Question

Windows Server

Good afternoon.
Maybe someone came across with real tasks on Windows Server 2012 (R2)
At work, everything works, but I want to try new tasks.
Maybe someone has links to laboratory or something like that?
TechNet, Labs and all Microsoft resources are not recommended.
Want something new.
Thanks

Answer 1

When you want new tasks, you should think about changing jobs.
Doing labs without real application is a waste of time. Yes, you will learn how to configure something, but you will not have experience in solving any problems associated with this service, and you will forget the settings that are usually googled in six months.
Real experience is much more useful and memorable.

Answer 2

TechNet, Labs and all Microsoft resources are not recommended.

Do you have tasks that need to be solved? Have you already deployed a print server, or deduplication, or virtualization, or clustering, or even hundreds of other features in 2012 r2?
