How to get fob files for Training Material?

superpuz

Hi All,

I'm going through difficulties when following exercises on Dynamics NAV 2013 Training Material which I download from Microsoft partnersource. Especially course no.80433 - Reporting in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 and course no. 80437 - C/SIDE Solution Development in Microsoft Dynamics® NAV 2013. In some exercises, the trainee is asked to import certain object files (*.fob) to be the base of what the topic want to explain. With the fob is nowhere to be found, it's really hard to follow the training material / exercise.

Is anyone know how to get those files?

You have to pay for it by attending the class.

Hi Alex
I downloaded the materials from Customer Source. Why Microsoft wants us to pay for these help files while they give the course materials free. It is very expensive to attend classes in our region. Training materials at Customer source are more than enough for self study. ](*,)

Really? Can you share the link to the download?

I meant the study materials (training materials) from customer source. Not the necessary .fob files.
BTW, it wasn't so hard to recreate them. Most are based on standard reports.

Ah, I see.. Yeah, the training manuals can be downloaded on CustomerSource. But the .fob files can only be obtained when you attend the class as far as I know.

Hi,
I went through this difficulties too and i am not found any relevant answer but finally i found the solution.So i would like to share how this problem can solved.
Do you have access to partner source?

You will need access to partner source. You will need to download the instructor manuals. With the instructor manual u will have downloaded a virtual drive file which you need to attach to Windows to extract the files.

All lab files(.fob) are in virtual drive file you can extract this files by follow this steps.
1.when you run .exe file you will get .vhd file.your .fobs are in this vhd file.
Now to get files for this .vhd
-->go to control pannel
--> go to Administrative Tools
-->go to computer managment
-->On left sode right click on Disk Managment
-->Click on "Attach VHD"
-->Browse to your .vhd file and click OK
that's it you can show your files in "computer".

Do you know that we need to download the instructor training material from partnersource instead of students training material to get the vhd file?
